Bowflex M5

The Bowflex Max Trainers were introduced as the brand’s new combination cardio machine after the TreadClimbers were discontinued. Max Trainers combine the benefits of an elliptical and stepper machine and are designed for high-intensity interval training. Bowflex claims you burn 2.5 times more calories on a Max Trainer than a traditional elliptical in the same amount of time.  The Bowflex Max Trainer M5 was discontinued and replaced with the M6, so we haven’t personally worked out on the machine. We have used and reviewed other Max Trainers like the M6 and M9, however. We’ll use that experience combined with online specs and reviews of the M5 to help you determine if you should try to find a M5 for your home gym.  We Know Cardio We love our barbells but that doesn’t mean we skip our cardio. We’ve tested numerous cardio machines, from bikes and ellipticals to treadmills and rowers. Our team of CrossFit Level 1 trainers, nutritionists, athletes, and home gym owners knows our stuff. We’ll share our knowledge of fitness equipment to help you decide if the Max Trainer M5 deserves a place in your home gym. including the Sync workout results with phone or iPad via max trainer app and belt strap for heart monitor No below $700
