Reebok A6.0 Elliptical Review & Buying Guide (India)
At ₹49,999 the Reebok A6.0 Elliptical targets apartment cardio — quiet, low-impact and full-body. Here is who it suits, the space it needs, and how it compares with the A6.0FD and the Adidas X-21.
Reebok A6.0 Elliptical review: low-impact cardio for Indian apartments
The Reebok A6.0 Elliptical (Bluetooth Enabled) is ₹49,999, down from ₹93,999, and it is aimed at a specific and growing Indian buyer: someone who wants daily cardio at home, lives in an apartment where a treadmill is a noise problem, and does not want the joint load of running on a hard floor.
This review covers what the machine offers, who it suits, how it compares with the rest of the range, and what to check before a ₹50,000 machine arrives in a flat.

What an elliptical actually does for you
An elliptical moves your feet through a fixed oval path with no impact phase. That single fact is why it has taken over from treadmills in a lot of Indian home gyms:
- Joint load. No landing shock through the knee, hip and ankle, which makes it the sensible option if you are heavier, older, or returning to exercise after a lower-limb problem.
- Noise. Belt-and-flywheel motion is far quieter than footfall on a treadmill deck. In a flat with neighbours below, this is often the deciding factor.
- Upper body. Moving handlebars bring the arms and back into the session, so more muscle works per minute than on an exercise bike.
What it does not do is train you to run. If a half marathon is the goal, a treadmill is the specific tool.
The A6.0 in use
The console handles the essentials — time, distance, speed, estimated calories and heart-rate readout — with preset programmes and adjustable resistance. Bluetooth pairs it with a phone or tablet so sessions are logged instead of forgotten, which in practice is the difference between using a machine for three months and using it for three years.
Two practical notes for Indian homes. First, measure before you buy: a full-size elliptical needs roughly 1.5 × 0.7 m of floor plus swing room behind, and stride height means it wants a ceiling that clears your head by a comfortable margin when you are standing on the pedals. Second, plan the delivery — these machines are heavy and rarely fit a lift assembled.
How it compares in the Reebok and Adidas range
| Machine | Price | Was | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reebok A6.0 Upright Bike | ₹39,999 | ₹59,999 | Smallest footprint, seated cardio only |
| Reebok A6.0 Elliptical | ₹49,999 | ₹93,999 | Low-impact full-body cardio at home |
| Reebok A6.0FD Elliptical | ₹79,999 | ₹128,999 | Front-drive layout, heavier daily use |
| Adidas X-21 Cross Trainer | ₹84,999 | ₹102,600 | Premium build, longer stride |
The A6.0 is the value pick of that list by a wide margin at its current price. The step to the A6.0FD buys a different drive layout and a more robust frame for households where two or three people train daily.
Who should buy it — and who should not
Buy it if: you want 30–45 minutes of steady cardio most days, you live in an apartment, you have knees that object to running, or you want one machine the whole household can use at different fitness levels.
Look elsewhere if: you are training for road races (buy a treadmill), you have under 2 m² to spare (an upright bike at ₹39,999 fits far more easily), or you want strength progression rather than cardio.
Getting your money's worth
- Put it where you will see it. Ellipticals that live in a spare room stop being used by week six.
- Use the resistance, not just the time. Increasing resistance progressively is what keeps the sessions productive after the first month.
- Wipe the rails and check pedal bolts monthly — Indian humidity is hard on fasteners.
- Keep it off a bare tile floor; a mat cuts transmitted noise and protects the surface.

Frequently asked questions
How much is the Reebok A6.0 Elliptical in India?
It is listed at ₹49,999, down from ₹93,999. That places it at the accessible end of branded home ellipticals — the Reebok A6.0FD is ₹79,999 and the Adidas X-21 Cross Trainer is ₹84,999.
Is an elliptical better than a treadmill for home use in India?
They serve different goals. An elliptical is low-impact and quieter, which suits apartments, older knees and anyone returning from a lower-limb niggle. A treadmill is the better tool if you are specifically training for running. If joint comfort or neighbours are the constraint, the elliptical wins.
What does the Bluetooth on the A6.0 actually do?
It pairs the console with a phone or tablet app so workout data — time, distance, estimated calories and programme progress — is logged rather than lost when you step off. It is a convenience feature, not a training system; treat app compatibility as something to confirm before purchase.
