Cross Trainer comparison

Best Elliptical Machines UK 
in 2026.

Cross trainers provide a full-body cardio movement with less repeated impact than running. Stride length, handle position, resistance, machine weight and the clearance around the pedals are more useful checks than a long list of programmes.

Gym Gear Encore ECE7 Elliptical Cross TrainerCROSS TRAINER

The balanced cross trainer

Gym Gear Encore ECE7 Elliptical Cross Trainer

The balanced cross trainer for buyers who want full-body cardio without a running belt.

At £2,899, it is the least expensive option in this five-product shortlist, which makes it an easy place to begin. The elliptical movement gives a full-body session without relying on a running belt.

What we don't like

  • The lower ticket does not automatically mean the widest feature set, so the core specification matters more than the headline saving.
  • The moving pedals need more surrounding and overhead clearance than a bike.

What to check before buying

Check the stride length against the intended user, then allow clearance above and around the pedals. Compare resistance, incline or decline movement, user limit and machine weight before deciding that a model will feel stable.

For specialist rehabilitation equipment, speak with an appropriate clinician or therapist where the purchase relates to a medical condition.
