Rank #10 in Best Cross Trainers 2026: 10 Ranked, and the £35 Badge Test
JLL Smart Upright Cross Trainer with SunnyFit App
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The JLL Smart Upright Cross Trainer is the number 10 entry in this guide. It is a £189.99 upright elliptical with dual-action handlebars, a 28 cm stride, eight levels of magnetic resistance and a 5 kg flywheel, and the listing says it pairs by Bluetooth with the SunnyFit app, with no subscription required.
It earns its place for the opposite reason to most of what this guide is about. The description calls the stride 28cm; the spec table's Maximum Stride Length reads 28 Centimetres. The two agree, on a machine listed at 100 cm deep and 67 cm wide. The number that does not settle down in this listing is the rating count: the headline is 4.2 out of 5 from 317 ratings, while the five bars in the breakdown supplied with it add up to 100 — 60 five-star, 20 four-star and 16 across one to three stars. The listing also gives a maximum user weight of 220 pounds, which is about 99.8 kg. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as it was given to us, not from a test of our own.
