Editor's review of Crosstrainer

• 3.0 stars

• "Crosstrainer"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: Crosstrainer 6

This feature-rich application helps you manage diet and exercise regimens, but suffers from some stability issues. Crosstrainer presents a jam-packed interface with a large calendar dominating most of the screen. The file menu and colorful icons across the top provide options to add workouts, nutrition logs, and personal information. Below the calendar are tabs with simple summaries of caloric intake and weight and training results. Tabs on the right include a detailed daily schedule and a log for daily entries. Separate windows are launched to create weightlifting routines, cardio workouts, and food logs. While these windows are busy too, they're fairly easy to use and come preset with routines, exercises, and a food database. Crosstrainer also offers other options such as a shopping list creator and a calculator. Unfortunately, in multiple tests, an option to set up a training plan consistently failed to work, and there were problems with adding food to the database. Crosstrainer has the potential to be a great personal trainer program for anyone, but its instability is cause for concern.

  "Crosstrainer is the best of all the fitness software I've tested"

  by bradyaero on July 31, 2008

  Pros: Very Powerful Interface, as much depth as you can handle, Crosstrainer is well rounded in all areas, strength, cardio, nutrition, wellness, training plans. I like the web features as well. Nice to sync to the web and have access to your data via the web.

  "One of the best I have used"

  by Iceshack on October 22, 2008

  Pros: I am not sure what is up with braindar. I have had excellent service with this program. It has so many resources to cover all your needs. I had to call with a problem and got one of the best responses I have from any tech support. Excellent!!!!

  Cons: Nothing so far.

  Summary: Has helped me get to where I wanted to go. I would tell anyone to not think twice. Worth every penny and more. Great Job and thank you.
