Anyone use a max trainer I just ordered one and I'm hoping it really works.

    Hi... We just got one the beginning of March. First off for me it was tough starting. I wasn't very active so getting back into it was tough. But once I continually used it I love it. Don't own a treadmill so this also works like one if you do a steady pace or manually without a program. A lot of programs to choose from. Connects to MFP too. You have 30 days. If you don't like it you can send it back. I took 2 pics. Hope it works y1h6rd320qp4.jpg

    We have the Max5. It was brutal at first. I only made it through about 2-3 mins. Now, I can make it a full 15 mins. I still have to slow down at times, but I can make it! We got ours first of February. Makes me motivated to be able to get on it and feel the progress because I am not as out of breath or I don't have to slow down as much as the previous time I used it.

    Thanks, that's the same one I ordered. How long did it take you to receive it? It it loud?

    Not loud at all. Takes about 45 days to receive it.

    Not loud, but the ding ding digg it does upon completion a workout is a little loud. Not sure if that can be turned off. Haven't looked that much in to it. We received it in about 3 business days.

    I've been using my M5 since March 7 and I love it. I have already lost 16 lbs. At first I could only get half way through it. After a few rimes, I made it the entire workout at the lowest setting without stopping. I took it very easy and only burned about 87 calories. Now after almost 4 weeks using it 5-6 times a week I am doing the entire thing at a level 9 resistance and 1 bump elevated calorie burn. My last workout I burned 151 calories and I burn more every day.I feel great and so much stronger. Money well spent in my opinion.

    M5 here. It was also brutal at first for me. Could only do 1-3 minutes at a time then had to walk around and cool down, then go back to it. It's a serious workout. I even gave up on it for a few months in favor of walking but ended up going back to it and trying to stay on it longer. I love it now, and wouldn't do without one. I do 30 minutes in the morning for a 500+ calorie burn at level 16 on the thing. It doesn't get any better!

    I have the M5. And I love it. It has some bonuses over the m3 so if you can throw in an extra 600 I recommend getting it. I started off just doing 15 minute max trainer intervals. I used a resistance of 12 and did 20 seconds on and 1:40 off. Now I am doing 30 seconds on and 1:20 off at level 16 resistance for 14 minutes, three times in a row! It was tough getting here but so worth it. I burn a lot of calories because of the HIIT training and it doesn't hurt my knees. I highly recommend!

    I've had the M5 for several months now. Gave up after a few tries. Got back on it this week and could only go 3 mins and I had to stop several times. I have been very inactive and this machine is quite the work out. I am looking forward to getting in the full 15 - 30 min workout.
