The dream exercise machine for many people is one that will sit in a corner nicely and target every problem area with the minimal effort, which is why the Biosync Fold Away Strider with Intelligent Heart Rate Monitor is such an interesting option.

This strider is said to help pretty much everything from head to toe while measuring heart-rate with an “intelligent”monitor”, displaying data on a LCD screen and keeping users comfortable with its padded body cushion.

This product is seen as a great alternative to treadmills by those that either see the potential for a more low-impact, joint-friendly workout or simply want something a bit different but does it live up to expectations?

What benefits have buyers enjoyed when working out on this Biosync Intelligent Fold Away Strider?

There are some reviews that run on the theme of “product is as advertised” and while his sounds a little underwhelming, it does perhaps highlight the basic function and simplicity that appears to be the main benefit of this Biosync Fold Away Strider with Intelligent Heart Rate Monitor.

The lack of fancy parts or complicated programs make it accessible to many different users – with reports coming from disabled users and those in their sixties – and this is enhanced by the fact it is so easy to put together, only taking about 20-30 according to some because of the clarity of the instructions.

On top of this, reviewers have also highlighted the lack of noise and the way it really helps them to feel energised. Most buyers would also agree that this really is a compact option because of its small dimensions (71 x 45 x 141cm) and foldable design; however there are some that see the potential for improvements in the user-friendly nature of the product.

What disadvantages have users noted with this Biosync Fold Away Strider and how could it be improved?

The ability to fold the machine and store it is great but the locking pin that holds it together in this state has come in for criticism because it is so fiddly. Elsewhere, there are also buyers mentioning the inaccuracy of the calorie counter and timer, again suggesting that electronics and anything too complicated really isn’t the machine’s strong point, but this appears to be it for the downsides.

There are some users that talk about it taking some time to get into the rhythm of the machine but that is more to do with the style of the strider than any particular problem with this model.

Summary: is this Biosync Compact Strider a worthwhile alternative to a treadmill after all?

There are some kinks to be worked out in the design of this folding strider but it is hard to criticise it too much because they are small details in a design that really has tried to put user comfort first and make the model easy to use for anyone.

It is this wide appeal that is important here, rather than any of the smaller details like the monitors or size, because it is difficult to make a machine like this that can please so many.

The Biosync cross trainer stays away from complex programming and fancy designs to remain basic in its function, immediately accessible and rewarding to all kinds of users and that is why it is recommended.
