Cross Trainer Hire vs. Finance
This guide will help you decide whether to hire a cross trainer or buy a cross trainer on finance.
Cross trainer hire is one way to pay monthly and avoid a large upfront cost. However, the cost of cross trainer rental can quickly stack up. Buying on finance may be a more cost-effective option. Read on to find out more.
Cross Trainer Hire Tips
While we don’t offer cross trainer hire here at JTX Fitness, we are happy to give you some top tips. If you are considering cross trainer rental, here are some key things to keep in mind:
Stride Length
Choose the right cross trainer for your height. Stride length is the most important factor to ensure optimum performance and movement. Look for a stride length of 16 inches or more. This indicates a well-built machine. Exercising on a quality cross trainer will help you to achieve your fitness goals faster. It also reduces the chance of injury.
Footprint
We recommend you hire a cross trainer with a footprint no smaller than 130cm long and 70cm wide. This will help to ensure a stable workout and is particularly important if you weigh more than 13 stone. Or you will be exercising at high intensity (e.g. running rather than walking speed).
Costs
Compare the rental cost with buying your own machine on interest-free finance. For many, cross trainer finance works out to be a smarter investment.
Repairs
Make sure you’re covered for a quick replacement or repairs if the machine breaks down. Some cross trainer hire companies will leave you paying weekly rental fees but take their time fixing any problems. In contrast, buy your cross trainer on finance with JTX Fitness and you will be protected by our in-home repair warranty.
Time Limit
Manage your expectations when it comes to returning your cross trainer rental. Can you really achieve what you want to in a month or two? Or would buying a cross trainer on finance that you can keep make more sense?

Buying a Cross Trainer on Finance
JTX Fitness sells a comprehensive range of new, gym-quality fitness equipment. Many people choose to hire a cross trainer because they believe that gym-quality cross trainers are too pricey to own. Cross trainer finance offers an alternative way to spread the cost.
You can save money and time by having a cross trainer in your home rather than paying a visit to the gym. The convenience of being able to hop on at home when you get a few spare minutes is unbeatable. It soon becomes part of your daily routine.
Hiring a cross trainer for a month or two is a great solution if you have a quick goal to reach. But we believe buying is a better investment. JTX Fitness does not currently offer finance directly. But, if you want to buy one of our cross trainers on finance, you can apply for PayPal Credit when you check out.
Owning a cross trainer allows you to:
Achieve Long-term Goals
You’ll have to return your cross trainer after a month or two, if you hire. It can be hard to improve your fitness as much as you might like in such a short time. But buying a treadmill on finance is an investment in your long-term fitness goals.
Improve Your Performance
When you own your own cross trainer, you get to know it inside out. Find out which programs work best for you and boost your performance.
Relax, You’re Covered
Our in-home repair warranty gives you peace of mind. Should your cross trainer develop a fault, an engineer will come and fix it.
Get Money Back if you Sell
Owning your cross trainer means you can recoup some of the cost by selling it should you wish.

Once approved, you will have a credit limit attached to your PayPal account. This allows you to spread the cost of your home gym equipment into affordable monthly payments. You can choose to pay over 6 - 24 months with a typical APR of 19.9%.
