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.
