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.

For the extra cost of the JTX Tri Fit Cross Trainer, you also get additional features which the Strider X7 does not have such as Bluetooth connectivity, iConsole app for additional workouts and training routes from around the world, adjustable incline (4 levels), multi-grip handles, resistance control in handles, tilting console, speakers with MP3 input, water bottle holder, and polar chest strap.

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).

Spinner S5 versus Spinner S3 Indoor Cycling Bikes, Comparison Review

The Spinner S5 and Spinner S3 Indoor Cycling Bikes offer the ability to cycle train in the comfort of your own home. The Spinner S5 and S3’s 31 lb perimeter weighted flywheel offers smooth consistent momentum, while their chain drive system mimics a true road-bike feel.

The Spinner S5 and Spinner S3 spin bikes utilize a friction resistance system which is easily adjustable via a micro-adjustable turn knob.  Both spin bikes feature an easy-to-use push-down emergency brake with leather pad which is more durable than traditional felt pads used in spin bikes.

Ergonomically designed, the Spinner S5 and S3 both offer great adjustability for a better fit for different riders (compatible for riders ranging from 4ft 10” tall up to 6ft 7” tall).

The wide padded saddle on both bikes adjusts up, down, fore and aft.  The large-diameter commercial-sized handlebars on both bikes are height adjustable and features multi-position rubberized non-slip grips for rider comfort.

An additional comfort feature on both the Spinner S5 and S3 indoor cycles is their narrow Q-factor of 147 mm (distance between the pedals) which is close to a true road bike and offers a more natural pedaling motion which is easier on your knees.

The main differences between the Spinner S5 and S3 Indoor Cycling Bikes come down to the color of the frame, flywheel cover, and pedal design.  The Spinner S5 has a charcoal colored frame and translucent flywheel cover, while the S3 has a silver/gray frame and black flywheel cover.

The pedals on the Spinner S5 are dual sided for toe cage or SPD compatibility while the Spinner S3 has toe cage pedals only.  However, the pedals on both bikes have standard threads so can easily be swapped out for pedals of your own choice if required.

Both the Spinner S5 and S3 spin bikes include a molded water bottle holder located on the frame.

Additional features on both bikes include easy-to-adjust stabilizer feet, front-mounted transport wheels, and a user weight capacity of up to 250 lbs.

Also included with both the Spinner S5 and S3 bikes are 4 spinning DVDs to help you get the best out of your spin cycle workouts:  Ultimate Energy, Train & Tone, Turn & Burn, and Maximum Results.





Fitness tip:  Cycling for just 30 minutes could burn between 207-345 calories for women, or 252-420 calories for men, depending on the intensity of the cycling.
