The new York Heritage X101 cross trainer is a black and red beginners model and makes a nice change from the boring white and grey designs. An entry level trainer it is designed to just jump on and start exercising. Its main features are its magnetic resistance levels, with 8 different settings allowing you to go light or get a real workout. The console gives you pulse, calories burned, distance and speed and has 4 built-in workout programs to give you help varying your sets. Rated to handle users up to 125kg (about 260lbs), its the least expensive model, costing about 200.

The York X201 is a big step up from the X101 with a much more advanced console and more workout and HRC programs (3) and sensors built into the handlebars that measure your heart while you are exercising. The console has 21 different programs so that you wont be getting bored anytime soon. Instead of pedals the X201 has adjustable, non skid, footplates that allow you to change your stride length and position to allow you more comfort in your natural stride. This model costs about 600.

The Anniversary X202 is Yorks midrange cross trainer offering. This model is a bit longer than the X201 giving it a more balanced feel which means that it can handle users weighing up to 140kg (about 300lbs). It features a large, 3-color LCD computerized console that is very easy to read. It also has 22 different built-in training programs and 4 that are HRC (or heart rate controlled), as well as displays that monitor speed, distance, time, speed, calories, pulse, RPM, and body fat/BMI readings. The X202 also come with a 2 year parts and labor warranty in case your York ever breaks down.

The premium cross trainer from York is the X301. Its more expensive than other machines offered but in turn offers an amazing array of features for the extra cost. This machine is as solid as they come, taking up to 150kg (320lbs) and with a maximum stride length of 16 it can take any stride. York goes to great lengths to make the ergometer, which measures the amount of energy you are using, as accurate as possible. It will increase or decrease the resistance based on your current heart rate and works well with 4 built in heart rate controlled programs. Your heart rate is measured, as with most machines, via the handgrips, but alternatively it has a wireless receiver that is used with a chest strap. The console has a nice looking LCD screen and 22 workout programs, 4 HRC programs, 12 preset programs 4 target programs and one user configurable program. With this model comes a full manufacturers warranty of three years covering parts and labor.

The top of Yorks distinguished line is the Diamond X302. Designed to take users up to 150kg (330lbs) this elliptical is tough. The electromagnetic resistance is smooth and quiet and the console has 16 different resistance settings. Stride is 16, fairly standard for this price range. The console has 5 LED windows that feed back information, and 22 exercise programs. All of the preset programs included with the X301 are in this model as is the wireless receiver for the HRC programs, of which there are 4. As an added feature the console allows you to store 4 different user profiles so each user only has to set up their profile once. With a lifetime warranty on the frame and a full two-years on the rest of the elliptical York has shown it can build a quality machine.

For the discriminating user York Cross Trainers stand for quality and great selection. Their guarantees demonstrate that they stand behind their products.
