Orbit Competition (£699)
Best luxury buy!
For a full body, cardiovascular workout, break into a sweat with this elliptical crosstrainer. There are six pre-set programs, constant heart rate and effort control and a built-in fitness test. The Orbit's compact, fold-away design should appeal to both regular exercisers and dabblers, especially if previous home gym purchases have ended up as merely expensive clothes hangers.
