Keiser M5i Strider Elliptical With M Connect Display
Compact, Connected Cardio for Home Gyms and Fitness Facilities
FitnessZone Is an Authorized Dealer for Keiser Fitness Products Nationwide Since 2004!
The Keiser M5i Strider is a compact elliptical trainer that combines standing, full-body exercise with smooth magnetic resistance. Moving handlebars engage your upper body while your legs follow an elliptical stepping motion, making the M5i a versatile option for home cardio, fitness studios, and group elliptical training.
Smooth, Quiet Magnetic Resistance
Adjust workout intensity gradually with Keiser’s magnetic resistance system. The M5i provides smooth transitions between effort levels, making it easy to alternate steady-paced exercise with challenging intervals. Padded moving handlebars support coordinated upper- and lower-body movement, while stationary handles offer another grip option. Its self-tensioning Poly-V® belt drive supports quiet operation and reduced maintenance.
M Connect Display: Workout Data and Bluetooth Connectivity
The Keiser M Connect Display brings workout feedback and wireless connectivity together. View cadence, power output, calories, heart rate, elapsed time, distance, and gear while exercising. The display shows 24 gear levels, helping you identify and repeat resistance settings.
Built-in Bluetooth® connectivity allows the M5i to share workout data with compatible apps, phones, tablets, and select wearables. M Connect incorporates the connectivity previously provided by the separate M Series Converter, so an external converter is not required. App compatibility and available features vary by platform.
Compact Design for Flexible Workout Spaces
With an equipment footprint measuring 51 inches long by 23 inches wide, the Keiser M5i elliptical trainer offers a practical option where floor space matters. Transport wheels help with repositioning, while the media holder, water bottle holder, and accessory tray keep essentials within reach. Stretch pads provide a convenient surface for pre- and post-workout stretching.
Allow additional clearance around the machine for safe access and exercise. Keiser’s manual specifies 24 inches of free space on all sides.
