The NuStep T5 Series

The NuStep T5 is an accessible recumbent cross trainer designed for Canadian rehabilitation, physiotherapy, senior wellness, and fitness settings. It combines low-impact, full-body motion with adaptable settings to support users across a wide range of mobility and strength levels.

The T5 features a low step-through design, a 360° swivel seat, and stride control, making it ideal for inclusive exercise, rehab protocols, or neurological training. Incorporated contact heart rate handles add an extra level of security for patients beginning an exercise program after cardiac issues.

Accessibility options can be added to ensure that every patient can use the system, regardless of ability. The Stability Essentials Bundle and Total Essentials Bundle increase patients' ability to use the system, even when limb strength or control is limited.

FAQ – NuStep T5

The T4r and T5 are similar, affordable systems that allow clinics and home users to add a NuStep at a great price! The T4 has similar features, but does not have at low step through design, the upgraded display or contact heart rate options. Perhaps most importantly, the T5 has a higher weight capacity and a more adjustable seat.

The T5 and T5XR share a similar frame so many of the mechanical features are the same, such as the low step through and adjustable seat position and arm lengths. The T5XR is an upgraded unit that includes Adjustable reclining setback, grip rotation, and a foot secure system. The T5XR offers more software exercise programs and is designed for busy clinics.

500 lb (227 kg) is supported, making it excellent for bariatric, rehab, and inclusive patient care.

No, the T5 systems is self generating and does not need to be plugged in. The only time that the T5 needs any outside power is if it hasn’t been used for a number of days. In that case, the included AC Adapter can be plugged into the T5, and quick pedalling will restart the system.
