How long will the True CS900 Elliptical last?
The True CS900 Elliptical is rated for commercial use and weighs a titanic 375 lbs. when fully assembled. It can hold up to a maximum of 400 lbs. of workout capacity and is best suited for moderate to heavy use. True covers the CS900 with a generous lifetime warranty on the frame, but then goes to a rather low 3 years for parts & the console. The 3 year labor warranty is a nice bonus.

The True CS900 Elliptical is a workhorse of a machine that allows users to individualize their purchasing options with the choice of 5 different consoles and is covered by a generous frame warranty by a reputable parent company with excellent customer service. It is chock-full of commendable qualities and is built from heavy steel with an excellent upright design that will easily fit into any workout space.
Overall Quality
The True CS900 Elliptical has longer handrails and built-in aluminum side steps for safely mounting and dismounting on the superior frame design which offers stability and the unique True trademark CoreDrive system that provides a natural movement during exercise sessions.

Moisture resistant grips adorn the moving handlebars that assist with upper body toning.
