JTX Strider-X8: Compact Home Cross Trainer Features

Compact & Robust Design

The JTX Strider-X8 is designed to provide an effective full-body fitness or weight loss workout for all users up to 5ft9. Suitable for most homes, this compact cross trainer's robust frame and durable materials ensure stability and longevity, even during intense workouts.

Smooth and Silent Motion

The JTX Strider-X8 offers electro-magnetic resistance and a 7kg inertia-enhanced flywheel. You are guaranteed a smooth and quiet operation with seamless transitions between the digital resistance levels.

16 Resistance Levels

The wide range of resistance allows users to customise the intensity of their workouts to suit their fitness level and goals. Beginners and those seeking a gentle warm-up/cool-down will appreciate the lower resistance levels. The higher levels are suitable for more experienced users or high intensity interval training.

NEW Advanced Console

Intuitive controls make it easy to navigate through various programs and settings. Monitor your time, distance, speed, calories burned, and pulse rate in real-time, helping you stay focused on achieving your fitness targets. 18 built-in workout programs add variety and motivation to your training sessions. Workouts include hill simulations, high intensity interval training and heart rate-targeted exercises.

Dynamic Watt Training Program

Tailor your workout by setting a specific target level of power to generate during your session. Watts-based power tracking is widely acknowledged as the most accurate method for measuring workout performance. The watt program automatically adjusts the resistance to keep you working at your desired power level.

Connects To Popular Training Apps

The smart cross trainer connects to Kinomap and other popular training apps through Bluetooth. When connected, the resistance will automatically adjust to match the virtual hills displayed on your screen. Challenge yourself with dynamic workouts as you keep pace with the Kinomap motion videos. Once you've completed your workout, you can easily upload your workout data directly to Strava from the Kinomap app. The console features a media ledge providing you with the convenience to follow workouts or enjoy your phone or tablet while you exercise.

Heart Rate Programs + Polar Receiver

Heart rate training helps optimise your workout intensity and achieve fitness goals effectively. The computer on the JTX Strider-X8 monitors your heart rate, adjusting the resistance of the machine to keep you in the ideal heart rate zone. You can use the pulse sensors on the handle or connect to compatible Polar technology using the built-in Polar receiver. By using a Polar heart rate tracker , you can stay motivated and connect to training apps to enhance your training.

Supportive 16 inch stride length

Experience the supportive benefits of a 16-inch stride length with the JTX Strider-X8 home cross trainer. Tailored to match most adults' natural step, this design allows for effective and comfortable training. Ideal for users up to 5ft9 at any workout intensity.

Cross Trainer Terminology

Elliptical trainer

This is another name for a cross trainer, typically used in America.

Stride Length

Cross trainers are available in a variety of stride lengths and it’s important that you select the right one for your individual needs. The stride length is the maximum distance between the back of your front foot and the front of your rear foot.

Your natural stride length increases with the intensity of your exercise. A "running" action on a cross trainer uses a longer stride length than a gentle "jogging" action. Your height will also affect your stride length. So if you want an intensive workout and/or you are tall, we suggest you buy a cross trainer with a long stride length.

Q Factor

The Q factor on a cross trainer refers to the distance between the two footplates. It is important when cross training that your feet are a comfortable and natural distance apart as they would be when running.

2 Year in Home Warranty

The JTX Strider-X8 Interactive Cross Trainer comes with a 2 year in-home repair warranty with all parts and labour included. Warranties are registered automatically when you buy and there are no hidden terms and conditions. In the unlikely event that your machine does have a problem, we will arrange a specialist engineer to visit your home at a convenient time to fix it. It’s that simple.
