True TX Elliptical Trainer
Price: $2,699
Bottom Line: The True Fitness TX is the lowest priced True Fitness elliptical trainer produced for residential use. Coming in at $2,699 this machine does offer some elements of True Fitness quality but left something to be desired.
Thoughts:The True Fitness TX was an attempt at breaking into the more affordable elliptical machine market for True Fitness. True Fitness has always been known for producing some of the highest quality fitness equipment at a high price, but this True Fitness TX is something very different. Offering a fixed 21" stride length, 8 preset workouts, and 25 resistance levels, the TX seems to offers a great value for the price. But, whenever we look at a piece of True Fitness equipment we expect the highest quality design. While the TX is built well and does offer a comfortable workout, we didn't find the True Fitness quality we were expecting. Not to say this machine is a bad option, but for the home user looking to spend over $2,500 on an elliptical machine, other manufactures such as Smooth Fitness or Precor have great options.
