True Fitness was founded in 1981 and is known in the fitness world as a marketer of equipment for commercial and high-end home fitness consumers. Among the products offered by the company are treadmills, elliptical trainers and exercise bikes. As of January 2011, True Fitness directly sells 10 models of exercise bikes, which come in upright and recumbent forms.
Construction
True exercise bikes are built with heavy-duty steel frames and precision robotic welding. All of the bike models feature an adjustable seat and pedals so you are able to fit the bike to your body type for better exercise. The heavy weight of the steel frame and the wide base arms ensure maximum stability on the bikes, even in upright models.
Workout Features
The heart of True exercise bikes are the electronic display consoles. Residential models, including the ES 9.0 and the PS50, are six to 10 programmed workouts, as well as the ability to manually control the workout resistance level. True's commercial-grade bikes have more than 20 workout programs and advanced workout features such as wireless heart rate monitoring and CSAFE communications capability, which allows them to be linked together in a health club for competitive exercising.
Comfort Features
To make your workout more enjoyable, all True exercise bikes are equipped with highly adjustable seats to fit your body ergonomics, and some even feature gel seats for extra cushioning. Residential models have basic features, including a water bottle holder and reading rack, while the most expensive bikes have 15-inch touch screen monitors that can be synced with your iPod for music or video entertainment while you exercise.
Price And Warranty
As of January 2011, the price for residential True Fitness exercise bikes, including the PS50, is around $1,899. This includes a lifetime warranty on the frame of the bike and 10 years for replacement parts. At the opposite end of the price spectrum, the CS800 is available in a recumbent or upright form for around $3,000, and features the same lifetime frame warranty with three years on all parts and labor.
