True Fitness M50 Treadmill

The 7″ Single Window LCD offers feedback on speed, incline, elapsed time, distance, heart rate and calories.

The console features additional keys such as Quick speed and Quick incline keys, Start key, Incline and Speed keys and Enter key.

The TRUE M50 treadmill comes with contact heart rate monitoring and wireless heart rate monitoring with Polar strap compatibility.

9 preset workouts are available on the M50, including weight loss, performance, speed, hill and HRC Cruise Control.

To select a built-in workout, press Preset workouts until the desired workout appears. Press Enter, adjust weight, time, max speed, level and press Start. To use the custom programs, press Custom Workouts until Custom Workouts is displayed. Press Enter. Adjust time, speed, incline and press Enter.

There are also 2 Heart Rate Control workouts available, which you must use according to instructions: put on the compatible chest strap, adjust weight, target heart rate, time, max speed, max incline and press Start. There is a warm-up period at the beginning of the workout and a cool-down interval at the end.

During your workout, you can set your current heart rate as your target heart rate by pressing the HRC control key. That way you can stay in your ideal zone.

It is recommended to clean the unit before and after each workout with mild soap, water and a damp cloth. Lubrication under the treadbelt is recommended once a year.

The True M50 also features a reading rack, dual bottle holders, oversized accessory tray and transport wheels.

Ask any runner about the M50 and you’ll be impressed by all the positive comments you’ll hear. It makes sense, as the M50 is really a great choice. It’s on the expensive side…but you get what you pay for with this one.

As previously mentioned, serious runners and joggers will be thrilled by this unit. TRUE made sure of that and designed a user-friendly treadmill that keeps runners safe and comfortable on the belt with the orthopedic belt, the effective cushioning system and the powerful and sturdy motor. This is always a killer combo and M50 has it.

One of the key features of the M50 is the compact footprint which it shares with the M30 treadmill, that really maximizes the space. Add the modern aesthetics and there you go, no need to hide it behind closed doors.

TRUE Fitness is really trying to keep customers happy, so they invest a lot of sweat into it. Due to the low step-up height, getting on the treadmill is a piece of cake, no matter what condition you are in.

But there’s more to it than can be seen with the naked eye. The aluminum straddle covers and curved pedestals not contribute to the upgraded look of the treadmill but also provide a bonus of reliability.

Of course, the console is equally sleek and smooth. But it’s more than simple aesthetics. The minimalistic feel of the console comes in quite handy during tough workouts. Feedback information is easy to read and follow and navigation tools are user-friendly. Of course, having such a cool kit at your disposal, you want to use it to its maximum.

The built-in workouts offer a good chance to do that. The 7 built-in programs provide an intense and consistent workout. Seven is not a ton, but if you want to create your own programs, you can. Those who are really into cardio, like us, will highly enjoy the two intensive HRC workouts. Not an easy thing to do, but definitely very satisfactory.

The reading rack is cute, although a runner can’t really split between cardio and the latest novel.

It goes without saying that the warranty package is flawless, as it is on all TRUE treadmills.

The TRUE team really focused on making M50 an impressive cardio unit. The Heart Rate Control monitoring and workouts are definitely worth your while, if you’re an enthusiast. Not only will you benefit from hands-free heart rate reading (although you have to purchase the chest strap separately) there is also the Heart Rate Cruise Control option that you can use to set your current heart rate as your target heart rate. Take our word for it, this feature is a buzz among cardio enthusiasts.

We have none so far. It is expensive, but you’re getting a high-end machine which always comes with a price to match. Also, if you’re very tall or heavy, you might want to opt for one of the other models such as one of the PS or ES Series. They have longer belts and higher max weight capacities.

All in all, the TRUE M50 treadmill is a unit that we warmly recommend to walkers, joggers and runners who want to take a step further in their training. It’s built to last, minimizes stress on your joints and offers enough workouts to keep you satisfied.

Again, as we mentioned, if you’re on the taller or heavier side, check out the other treadmills in the TRUE lineup for more generous belt sizes and weight limits.
