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.
