Kettler Cross Trainer Review 2022 - 2023

Last Updated on November 16, 2022

Kettler Premium Cross P Trainer

We understand that looking for exercise machines online can be a long and stressful process. Even when you have narrowed down your search criteria (which you have presumably already done if you are looking at cross trainers) there are still a lot of things you have to consider before making your final choice and buying a specific product.

Cross trainers are excellent exercise machines because they can burn the same amount (or more) calories as a treadmill with half the intensity whilst also exercising your arms and upper body. There are loads of cross trainers to choose from and the features they offer will vary so it’s important that you choose the cross trainer that works for you and your personal goals.

Today we are reviewing the Kettler Premium Cross P Trainer (CHECK PRICE!) and our review will take an in-depth look at all its features so you can see if this cross trainer is right for you.

Kettler Cross Trainer Review 2015 - 2016Resistance Levels

Resistance levels in a cross trainer determine how much force you will have to put into your movements. When you first star using your cross trainer you will normally start off on one of the lower settings and then increase the resistance over time. Fitness professionals generally claim that in order to get the most out of your cross trainer you will need to be working at a 10 or above because otherwise you will not be challenging your body enough to see any real results. Therefore it’s important to make sure that the cross trainer you are using has at least 10 resistance levels.

The Kettler Premium Cross P Trainer comes with 16 electronically controlled magnetic resistance levels so you can start off slowly and have enough options to keep improving over time.

Training Programs

Most cross trainers will have several ready made training programs that you can choose from. These training programs will focus on different areas that you may want to improve on, so some will focus on calorie burning and weight loss whilst others will focus more on muscle gain and strength training. These training programs can be really beneficial if you are working out alone because they keep you motivated, they give you new ideas and areas to work on and they help keep you focused on your goals.

The Kettler Premium Cross P Trainer comes with 12 training programs including an optional heart monitor program. These programs will give you loads to work on and should keep you busy for months or even years.

Display

Most reasonable cross trainers will have an inbuilt monitor which will display your progress on its screen. It will show you things like the amount of calories you are burning, the amount of time you have been exercising and the amount of hypothetical distance you have covered during your workout. These displays are another good source of motivation because not only do they show you your progress in real terms but they also help you set and work towards goals.

The Kettler Premium Cross P Trainer has a display which will continuously show you seven functions including calories burned, time and speed.

Flywheel

The fly wheel in a cross trainer refers to the heaviest part of the machine which makes the whole process run smoothly. Without the fly wheel the leg pedals and handles wouldn’t move, so it is a pretty integral part of the whole process. Heavier fly wheels tend to make better machines because they are sturdier, last longer and run more smoothly. Most experts recommend you buy a cross trainer which has a fly wheel weighing 10 kg or above.

The Kettler Premium Cross Trainer comes with a 14kg Fly wheel which is heavy enough for a smooth and strong exercise experience without being impossible to lift.

Summary

Features: 16 Resistance Levels – 12 Training Programs – Seven Constant Display Functions -14 KG Fly Wheel

Pricing: Mid-range

The Kettler Premium is an ideal starter cross trainer for less experienced users, but it offers enough programs and levels to appeal to non beginners and more advanced users as well. It is particularly good for endurance training and weight loss, it has a fair amount of training programs to help keep you focused and it is a generally strong and durable machine.

If you are looking for a budget buy or, on the other end of the scale, you are looking for a very high tech and expensive model you may want to keep looking, but if you are looking for a mid-range machine that offers loads of features without any unnecessary frills then this may be the cross trainer for you.
