Editor's Verdict:

Weight loss software packages tend to vary in which aspects of health improvement they emphasize as well as in factors such as quality and value for money. Crosstrainer, for example, focuses on getting fit through exercise, sports and working out as much as it does on dieting. Essentially, Crosstraining is a bit like crossdressing but with more Lycra.

So, whilst dieters who want to lose weight whilst avoiding any physical exercise will find some of Crosstrainer’s facilities quite handy, to enjoy the full benefits you have to be willing to venture further from your chair than the kitchen and even - gasp – go outside. Crosstrainer can help in this respect too, though, as helping to motivate you to get outside and get physical is one of its specialties. It makes setting realistic goals and seeing the improvement on your charts when they are achieved simple and yet very empowering.

One benefit of focusing on fitness as well as just weight loss is that Crosstrainer helps you ensure you’re eating a balanced diet, meeting your calorie requirements and maintaining a healthy body as opposed to just starving yourself and losing muscle rather than fat. Being thin is presented as just one aspect of overall fitness rather than an end that justifies using any means necessary.

The package is designed to be fairly easy for new users to pick up. It's design is modular so you can get to most of the related features from one page without having to click through endless links and menus. If you’re stuck, the built in help facility is fine, if not terribly intuitive or flexible, although online help is also available and there is even a (searchable) forum for Crosstrainer users, so chances are that, whatever your problem is, someone will have encountered it before and posted the solution.

The exercise features are quite comprehensive. These range from a database allowing you to log different exercise types, intensities and durations, to a huge range of different workouts, including specific techniques to complement almost any sport, or even golf. You can even use them to build your own workout schedule and share it with other Crosstrainer users online. Food-related features are in no way lacking, either. The database of foods is large and easy to use, and the package provides recipes to suit almost any dietary requirement.

A lot of Dieting software packages limit you to only one or two user profiles, meaning you have to buy a more expensive version if you want to track the health of your whole family, train with a group of buddies or are a personal trainer keeping track of your clients. Crosstrainer is particularly flexible in this respect. There are packages to suit most different types and numbers of users, so it's important to make sure you download the right one. Cross trainer can also cope with large scale corporate wellness programs and is even used by sections of the armed forces and several fire departments to monitor large scale training programs. Its flexibility in this respect is hard to beat.

The least pricey option allows just one user to enjoy the benefits of Crosstrainer for for up to three months. Whilst very limited, this is amongst the very cheapest options available for any package we’ve reviewed, but simply plumping for this may be a false economy as most meaningful weight loss programs will tend to last longer than three months. If you realistically expect to use Crosstrainer for longer than three months, or for more than one person, it’s probably worth considering buying the CD version, which has no expiry date. The website is very good at clearly telling you how much you will have to pay for X number of users to have it for Y number of months, but ultimately it would have been nice to have had just one or two broader options to choose from or maybe a reasonably priced all-inclusive package rather than all the itemized penny-pinching. Fortunately there is a free trail option available, making it easier to get a feel for the software and decide which version will best suit you before you pay any money.

Crosstrainer balances the exercise and dieting aspects of fitness really well and is a great choice if you’re interested in tracking the progress of more than a few dieters. Bear in mind that it will not appeal to those who prefer to avoid sports and exercise in general, and that value for money varies depending on how well you choose your package.
