How long will the True CS400 last?

Built to stand the test of time, the True CS400 weighs a titanic 340 lbs. when fully assembled and holds up to 400 lbs. of sweaty workout weight. Engineered for commercial settings, the CS400 is designed for daily abuse by a range of fitness level users and will last for years upon years with proper care and maintenance. True covers the CS400 with a lifetime warranty on the frame, 5 years on parts, 3 years on the console, and 2 years on labor.

Brief Overview

The True CS400 is our 2022 3rd place Best Buy Winner for the $3,000 - $3,999 price range and has a welded steel frame designed to withstand 8 hours a day of use in a commercial setting. It is a mighty workout machine that comes with a few different console choices to better individualize purchasing options and is covered by a truly generous warranty by a reputable manufacturer.

Overall Quality

The True CS400 offers safe mounts and dismounts with longer handrails and built-in side steps. It has a smaller frame, allowing it to fit easily into close-fitting spaces though the massive weight discourages daily movement. The CS400 has superior stability and provides a natural movement with a trademark CoreDrive system unique to the True platform. There is a 21” stride which is optimal for a larger consumer base and a hybrid brake system for high level performance during training sessions. Handlebars contain sweat resistant coverings and work to enable total body workouts for the conscientious user. Console choices determine self-generating capacities, and a 10-foot cord is included for machines needing to plug in to work correctly. Technological capabilities are also determined by console choice and run the gambit from basic and easy to use, to a high tech 16” interactive touchscreen all the while keeping the CS400 in a somewhat affordable price range to entice consumers to purchase.
