How does a residential machine differ from a commercial machine?
Residential units are for home use only. They are designed to give your family years of trouble-free use. Retail units will often have a greater number of workout programs and user profiles than their commercial counterparts. Retail equipment has been optimized to work in the home setting and meet your family’s needs. Commercial units are used in gyms or higher-use facilities. They are typically larger and have been designed with premium materials and components for years of 8-plus hours of use per day. Commercial units may have a more streamlined offering of workout programs and user profiles compared to their in-home counterparts. TRUE Fitness may offer extended warranties for commercial cardio equipment when used in a retail environment.

REFUNDS & CANCELLATIONS

Can I cancel an order once it’s been placed?
An order can only be canceled if the product has not been processed and shipped. You may choose to return the product once received. Please see details on returning a product .
