I was just wondering if anyone out there has seen this or bought it because im really tempted! (i cant post a link because im too new but its on the argos website if you just type in pro fitness mini cross trainer)

Its not that dear and id definitely get it if i thought it was going to be good, however someone pointed out to me that it doesnt look like the handles move, which would make it just like a stepper! any thoughts?

Looks like a good deal to me what we call an eliptical. I would think that the handles would move as they are linked to the step. It has got good reviews too

Well someone on the reviews said they wished with handles moved to get an upper body workout at the same time. But, the reviews look really good and the price is amazing. If you don't like it take it back. Argos is good about that. Someone who gave it a bad review took it back without a problem. I think you should give it a go.

I never use the moving handles on the ones at my gym anyway.

Just an idea, but have you tried getting a second hand one in your area on Ebay. I picked a top of the range one up last year for £25.
