Elliptical cross trainers compared: Reebok A6.0, Cosco EKX 6R and NordicTrack SE3i

An elliptical cross trainer is a low-impact cardio machine, popular with people who want a full-body workout without the pounding of a treadmill. Three models stand out in the ₹49,999 to ₹69,999 range at InstaSport: the Reebok A6.0, the Cosco Crosstrainer EKX 6R and the NordicTrack SE3i. This guide helps you compare them on what matters at home: price, features, space and use.

Prices and positioning

Stride length, flywheel weight, maximum user weight and resistance levels differ by model, so read each product page and compare those numbers before buying.

What matters when choosing an elliptical

  • Stride length: taller users need a longer stride to avoid a cramped, choppy motion.
  • Flywheel and smoothness: a heavier flywheel generally gives a smoother, quieter feel.
  • Max user weight: make sure it covers everyone who will use it, with margin.
  • Console and connectivity: Bluetooth can sync to apps, but a basic console is fine if you just want to track time and calories.
  • Footprint: measure your room and ceiling height; elliptical pedals rise higher than a treadmill belt.
  • Service: check delivery, installation and warranty support in your city.

Who should buy an elliptical?

Ellipticals suit people who want steady, low-impact cardio and who prefer a smooth motion on the knees. They are a popular alternative to walking when joints are sensitive.

Buying tips

  1. Decide your budget including installation and any stabiliser or mat.
  2. Try a similar machine in a showroom if possible, and check your stride feels natural.
  3. Place it on a level floor and use a mat to protect the floor and reduce noise.
  4. Check how the unit will reach your home: some machines are heavy and need assembly.
