We R Sports is known for producing quality cardiovascular equipment at an affordable price. You may miss out on some advanced features, such as an advanced monitor, but if you have the motivation and willpower, you can lose weight, gain muscle and boost your cardiovascular health with this machine.
This model is an elliptical cross trainer and an exercise bike in one.
You’ll have the opportunity to enjoy a full body workout with movable handlebars and pedals that are anti-skid while using the elliptical function, or you can sit down and pedal to focus more on your lower body.
The seat is adjustable, so even taller users that have long legs will be able to maintain a natural stride while on this We R Sports machine.
A great bargain-priced piece of equipment, this model has some great features and specs that you need to know about.

We R Sports 2-IN-1 Review
Assembly
We R Sports is one of the better companies that offers an affordable elliptical cross trainer. The one main complaint that users have is that the instructions for assembly are not well written. You’ll spend a lot of time trying to decipher the instructions, and if you make a mistake, it can cause difficulty going back to reach the next step.
The assembly process should take one to two hours, but this will vary depending on your skill level.
Once assembled, the machine is sturdy and is made from tubular steel.
Speaking of durability and design quality, this unit is very well made for the price.
Design and Build Quality
Design and build quality are going to be one of your major concerns with any elliptical cross trainer. You’re spending good money on these products, so it is important to ensure that you get the best workout possible in your budget range.
There are a lot of features that will enhance your workout.
First, there is a dual directional design that allows you to pedal forward and backwards to focus on different muscle groups.
- Pedal forward to focus on your quads
- Pedal backward to involve the hamstrings
There is variable resistance that will allow you to increase the intensity of your workout, and there are fan blades that will make it a little bit harder to move the handlebars as your speed increases.
Speaking of handlebars, you can stand up and use the elliptical function with the handlebars for an upper and lower body workout. You can also sit down and use this model as a fitness bike.
The seat is fully adjustable to allow you to maintain a natural position when sitting and maintain full range of motion.
It is important that you are able to find a position that allows for ergonomic pedaling to reduce strain on the knees and hips.
We R Sports has chosen to use tubular steel to ensure that each machine is durable. This machine only weighs 27 kg, so there is a chance that it will wobble when in use. The wobbling is not bad due to the wide design, but it is something that you should be aware of.
Many of these home machines are not as heavy as their commercial counterparts, so they do tend to wobble.
But one feature that I really do like is that there are transport wheels. You can tilt the machine forward and move it to position in your home that works for you.
Resistance
Resistance allows you to increase the intensity of your workout. The resistance knob allows you to change positions with a twist of your wrist, and you will be able to build muscle faster at higher resistance levels.
Resistance is moderate difficulty, so you will be able to feel the intensity increase even if you are at an intermediate fitness level.
The resistance knob is very easy to access, and it uses variable resistance for accuracy.
Display
The monitoring system is not advanced, but it does include the features that you need to know about your workout. There are four main features available, including:
- Time
- Speed
- Distance
- Calories
You can adjust between all of the display settings with a touch of the mode button. The display is operated by battery, so you’ll need to have an extra set of batteries available to use it. There is no option to plug this into the mains.
Price
Low-priced, the We R Sports 2-in-1 can be purchased for around £279. This is a low-cost model that lacks some of the advanced features that come with the top models.
But this is perfect for a beginner who wants to be able to workout at home.
Warranty
We R Sports backs their product with a 12-month warranty that will allow you to have full protection from a defect or fault in the product. But the warranty does require that you operate your elliptical up to the manufacturer specifications. If you’re using this machine in a way that is abnormal, the warranty may be invalid.
Pros
- Excellent value for the price
- Long-term usage, with some users using it over three years
- Four function computer board
- 2-in-1 machine acting as a bike and elliptical
- Variable resistance to increase difficulty level
Cons
- Instructions are lacking, making it difficult to assemble
The assembly process is tricky. A lot of people complain about the instructions that are available, so you’ll want to take a little additional time to put this elliptical cross trainer together.
Conclusion
The W R Sports 2-in-1 elliptical cross trainer isn’t the best model on the market, but it is one of the best products at this price point. The unit is perfect for someone just starting out on their fitness journey or someone who wants to lose weight from the comfort of their own home.
Lightweight and durable, once assembled you’ll be well on your way to meeting your fitness goals.
We R Sports also offer a higher tier model called the Deluxe 2-In-1. It varied in size and display console, but these are minor improvements that wouldn’t have a noticeable impact on workout results or user experience.
If you found the 2-in-1 relevant for your needs, you skip on the Deluxe variant and save a little money for accessories. If you’d like to keep looking, here’s a toplist of my recommended cross-trainers. I also reviewed steppers, compact ellipticals, and stair climbers for similar workouts.
