JTX Strider X7 versus JTX Tri Fit Elliptical Cross Trainer, Comparison Review

The JTX Strider X7 and JTX Tri Fit are robustly built Elliptical Cross Trainers with a near gym-quality feel but with a compact design that’s ideal for home use.

Both the JTX Strider X7 and JTX Tri Fit Cross Trainers are ergonomically designed to give you a low-impact comfortable yet very effective total-body workout that’s easier on your joints compared to many other types of exercise.

The JTX Tri Fit is the higher-end model over the JTX Strider X7, utilizing a heavier flywheel (17 kg compared to 12.5 kg of the Strider X7) and a variable stride length of 16-20” compared to the Strider X7’s fixed 16” stride length, making the Tri-Fit cross trainer more suited to the taller and heavier user or for households where several people of different heights/builds wish to use the cross trainer on a regular basis.

Both the JTX Strider X7 and JTX Tri Fit Cross Trainers offer plenty of variety in workout programs and resistance levels to keep your workouts interesting and progressively challenging.  Both cross trainers offer 16 levels of magnetic resistance with both forward and backward motion, and the JTX Strider X7 offers 21 workout programs while the Tri-Fit offers 19 (programs include heart-rate, fat burning, intervals, custom and more).
