The Bowflex Max Trainer M5 is an upgrade of the earlier M3 model, combining a stepping motion, resistance settings, and upper body muscle activation to burn more calories in a shorter time.

For the Max Trainer M5 they’ve taken this innovative design approach and created a cardio machine that’s unlike anything else on the market. That being said, many of the most efficient calorie burning functions have still been included, such as the near-vertical stepping motion, and movement of the upper body grips.

The Max Trainer M5 continues its run of unique design features with the console, which includes a number of significant upgrades over the earlier M3 model.

Firstly, the display screen is now backlit, which was one of the issues highlighted in our review of the M3. This helps to protect against glare from the sun as well as with highlighting all your most important workout feedback in low light conditions.

You might have noticed that the screen size is considerably smaller than on most ellipticals, particularly those from Sole Fitness who specialize in large display screens. However, the LCD display is still large enough to provide accurate feedback for a range of workout stats and equipment settings.

Because effective calorie burning featured so heavily in the design of the M5, this takes pride of place at the top of the console, and allows you to monitor several important calorie readings.

If you’re looking for the display shelf for your tablet, a state-of-the-art sound system, or MP3 connectivity, we’ll save you time and say that none of these are features on the Max Trainer M5.

Although the Max Trainer M5 specializes in providing high intensity interval training workouts, you’re also getting several programs that are based around ‘steady state’ cardio. This is where you maintain a specific workload throughout your training session, without the fluctuating intensity that’s associated with interval workouts.

Once the ‘MAX’ interval button is pushed on the console, the Burn Rate display will indicate a target level based on your user profile, which will also be highlighted by a series of LEDs. Essentially you’re basing your entire workout on your Burn Rate, where manual adjustments to the resistance are needed.

The M5 Fat Burn program offers slightly more variation, with more of a ‘Rolling Hills’ style profile, with a longer high intensity section to finish. This is much more reminiscent of outdoor running conditions, and you can still adjust the resistance level manually during any of the segments if needed.

As with the other standard programs on the M5, Calorie Goal is split into 16 segments, each of which is assigned a number as a percentage of your goal. Until you reach the target number of calories burned for each segment, the workout doesn’t progress to the next.

If you use the M5 on a regular basis, either as your sole source of fitness or part of a wider routine, you probably want to keep track of your progress in both the short and long term.

For the Max Trainer M5 the test is completely different, where you build up to a Target Burn Rate Range that keeps your heart rate at close to 75% of the calculated maximum. Once your reach this stage, the Burn Rate is maintained for 3 minutes, after which your score is displayed on screen.

This could be considered the most intense workout available on the M5, following a similar interval profile of ‘Active’ and ‘Rest’ phases as the standard MAX Interval program.

So what’s the difference? The standard MAX program displays a target Burn Rate using a combination of the dial and 5 LEDs, which act as an indicator for different personal fitness levels.

This isn’t exactly a workout program, but stepping onto the M5 in Manual Mode means you can define your own workout plan without following one of the preset training profiles.

Although the workout data can still be synced to your Bowflex Connect online training profile, this doesn’t include a breakdown of the burn rate and resistance level settings used during each segment. If Bowflex were to develop an upgrade to the console, this is certainly a feature we would like to see. Some way of selecting from your history of manual workouts, or the option to create a small number of custom programs.

If you’re on a strict budget, the $600 price difference between the M3 and M5 Max Trainers could be enough to influence your decision towards the entry level design. But does the M5 actually have enough high quality features to make it the better option in terms of value for money?

As you might expect for the lower priced machine, warranty coverage is half that of the M5, with parts and frame covered for just one year. When you compare this to other ellipticals at a similar price level, this is well below average, but doesn’t seem to be indicative of poor quality components, based on the high average review rating.

Whereas the M5 features a combination of steady state cardio and high intensity interval programs, the M3 is based almost entirely around Bowflex’s MAX Interval workout.

This means by choosing the M3 you’ll spend much more time at the console making manual adjustments to the incline and Burn Rate, as there will be fewer preset resistance profiles to follow.

You’re also missing out on the fitness test that comes as standard with the M5, which prompts you to workout at a certain level for a short amount of time. You’re then given a fitness score which can be used to monitor how quickly you’re achieving your fitness goals.

Unfortunately workout performance tracking seems to be missing entirely from the M3. There’s no Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity like there is with the later M5 model, which means there’s no way to connect your machine to the Max Trainer fitness app or Bowflex Connect service.

In terms of the footprint and weight capacity, the two machines are almost identical. However, the M5 also gives you twice the number of resistance levels (16), as well as a backlit display screen to make it easier to track workout stats in low light.

Although the M5 does have a built in fitness test that provides you with an overall fitness score, there’s no way of recording this or logging it against your user profile. This makes it difficult to use in comparisons over time unless you create and maintain your own training log.

What Bowflex set out to do was create an app that could connect to the M5 via Bluetooth and effortlessly sync all your important workout data, including time, watts, calories burned, and average heart rate.

But as well as syncing your workout data from the M5 console to the Max Trainer app, you can also sync to your MyFitnessPal profile, as well as the Google Fit app and Apple’s Health app. Based on the popularity of MyFitnessPal alone, this can be incredibly useful.

5. Not every smart device will pair with the Max Trainer M5, so it’s worth checking Bowflex’s list of compatible devices if this is a feature that’s important to you.

Overall we do really like the look of the app, and the way the dial on the screen uses a similar design as the Burn Rate display on the LCD screen of the console. Feedback is clear and easy to read, and the option to view workout details for specific dates is a quick way to set goals for your current session.

The option to sync data to other fitness apps and health profiles is also an attractive feature, and allows you to combine the workout results from the M5 with activities from a wider fitness routine. You can even transfer data to a Bowflex Connect profile for graphing your workout results in a weekly, monthly, or yearly comparison review.

But in recent years we’ve noticed a definite trend towards simplifying the steps involved, with more of the machine arriving pre-assembled and diagrams being used alongside clearly written instructions in the user manual.

However, even with improvements in the quality of user manual instructions and a reduction in the number of steps involved, it’s reassuring to know that a professional in-home assembly service is still an option.

For the Bowflex M5, this includes full assembly by a qualified technician, as well as calibration and testing to ensure everything is in working order. They will even remove any packaging, with a total cost of around $159.

When we reviewed some of NordicTrack’s ellipticals we noticed that they too offered a professional in-home assembly service, but across a limited region. Although we didn’t come across similar limitations with the M5, if this is a service you’re interested in, it could be worth contacting Bowflex to check if they cover your location.

The M5 features an almost vertical stride that’s more reminiscent of a center drive machine, but because of the way it’s been designed, at 143 lbs it’s one of the lightest we’ve reviewed.

This is helped by the quality of instructions in the user manual, which is something we’ve noticed from Bowflex ever since we first reviewed their PR series of home gyms.

That being said, the pre-assembled frame makes up the majority of the 143 lb weight, and is one of the reasons why the user manual recommends having a second person help with getting this into position. Because it’s quite bulky, this will also help when you have to lift it off the shipping plate and onto the stabilizer assembly.

At 143 lbs you might not want to attempt moving the Bowflex M5 far without assistance, but there are front-mounted transport wheels to make this a little easier.

There have been a number of negative comments in some of the M5 reviews that highlight the shortcomings of having such a short power cord. Of course there are always going to be ways around this, such as extension cable to extend the length of the AC Adapter cord, so for us it wasn’t a deal breaker.

Wherever you decide to position the M5, levellers have been fitted to the base to help compensate for any slightly uneven ground, improving stability and ensuring a safe workout experience.

If you’re unable to experience the M5 before you buy, one of the best ways to gauge the overall build quality, customer service, and effectiveness of the workout programs is to look at aggregated reviews.

Not only that, but it also provides a host of challenging workout programs that cater for a wide range of personal fitness levels and exercise preferences. Don"t feel like interval training today? Then you still have the steady state program, and the controls on the console are always within easy reach if you decide to take the Manual option.

Overall, we feel the Max Trainer M5 deserves its reputation for delivering short, intense, effective workouts, and the thousands of reviews on ecommerce sites seem to agree. If you"re looking for an elliptical trainer for close to $1500 but have a very limited amount of time to dedicate to fitness each day, we would certainly recommend the M5.

This is also featured on the M5 and it is not very practical, as the "Manual" settings refers to having to then go back into the "Menu" each time we want to select back and forth between the EVF and the touchscreen.

So, on the M5 I "have" to leave it in "Auto" and endure the over sensitive proximity sensor with the aggravated inconvenience of the touchscreen only tilting.
