The Bowflex Max Total 40 (100958) has been inspiring fitness enthusiasts in gyms and at home for years. The clever combination of stepper and elliptical trainer, the unique and virtually low-impact full-body motion, and the intense HIIT workouts make the Bowflex Max Trainer truly unique. The Bowflex Max Total 40 is the top model in the series and offers the most comprehensive package in terms of quality, effectiveness, connectivity, and training enjoyment.
Effective HIIT training at home on the Bowflex Max Trainer improves endurance, boosts performance, and is a real fat burner.
The Bowflex Max Total 40 combines the benefits of a stepper and an elliptical trainer. The key difference between the two lies in the movement pattern. On an elliptical trainer, the motion follows an elliptical path similar to walking or jogging. On a stepper, the movement resembles climbing stairs.
The moving handles of the elliptical engage the arms, shoulders, and upper back during training, whereas these muscle groups are largely inactive on a traditional stepper. Stepper workouts focus intensively on the leg and glute muscles.
The Bowflex Max Trainer 40 combines both advantages, turning your workout into an effective full-body HIIT session (High Intensity Interval Training).
The workout experience becomes multimedia and personalized thanks to the JRNY display with a 16-inch touchscreen.
One of the most important features of the JRNY display with Samsung touchscreen is Guided Coaching. The JRNY app supports users with professional workout videos and detailed training analysis, continually offering workouts tailored to the current fitness level. Professional coaches guide each session. The display is in English and cannot be set to other languages.
The JRNY app also enables virtual training with countless routes. With “Explore the World” access, you can discover a new route every day. Your performance controls the video speed. For entertainment, you can stream your favorite series or movies via Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, or Netflix. While streaming, your workout data remains visible on the screen.
The Bowflex Max Total 40 stands out not only because of its display and connected training options, but also due to improvements in its movement mechanics.
The moving handlebars offer six grip positions compared to other Max Trainer models. The additional inward-positioned handlebars provide even more upper-body training options. The inner grip particularly strengthens the arms and chest muscles, making upper-body workouts more effective and varied.
In addition to enhancing upper-body training, the leg movement has also been optimized. The dual-rail system ensures greater stability and smoother, more fluid motion, allowing for longer and more comfortable training sessions.
The Bowflex Max Total 40 is also a very compact fitness machine. It requires less than 1 m² of floor space (125.2 x 78.2 cm). Thanks to the built-in transport wheels, it can be easily moved into position for a workout and stored away afterward.
The maximum user weight is 136 kg.
