Overview
The BowFlex Max Trainer M3 was the entry-level model in the Max Trainer line, marketed as "The Original Max." It combined the low-impact motion of an elliptical with the intensity of a stepper, and it was built around the 14-minute interval workout that the Max Trainer line is known for. Resistance and speed were controlled with a dial, and the M3 had a slim footprint intended to fit in most rooms of a home.
The Max Trainer M3 has been discontinued and is no longer sold by BowFlex. The current model in its place is the BowFlex Max Trainer M6. If you already own a Max Trainer M3, it is still supported — see the support section below.
Is the Max Trainer M3 still available?
No. The Max Trainer M3 is discontinued and cannot be ordered from bowflex.com. It was discontinued some time ago, so parts availability for the Max Trainer M3 is limited compared to current models.
If you are looking to buy a Max Trainer today, the BowFlex Max Trainer M6 is the current equivalent. Details are further down this page.
Common questions about the Max Trainer M3
Can I still buy a Max Trainer M3?
Not from BowFlex. The Max Trainer M3 is discontinued and is not sold on bowflex.com or through BowFlex sales. Units sometimes appear through third-party or secondhand sellers, but BowFlex cannot verify the condition or history of those machines, and they do not come with a BowFlex warranty.
Can I still get parts for a Max Trainer M3?
Some parts for the Max Trainer M3 may still be available, but availability is limited because the machine has been out of production for a while. Contact BowFlex product support with your serial number and they can tell you what is currently in stock for the Max Trainer M3.
Is my Max Trainer M3 still under warranty?
Most Max Trainer M3 units are past their original warranty period, since the machine is no longer in production. Coverage depends on when the unit was purchased and which warranty terms applied at the time. BowFlex product support can look this up from the serial number.
Does the Max Trainer M3 work with the JRNY app?
No. The Max Trainer M3 is not compatible with the JRNY platform. It has no Bluetooth connection to the JRNY app, and no app or subscription can be added to it. The workouts available on a Max Trainer M3 are the ones built into its console.
If app-guided workouts are what you are after, the Max Trainer M6 connects to JRNY on a phone or tablet over Bluetooth.
Where do I find the manual or assembly guide for the Max Trainer M3?
Owner's manuals and assembly guides for the Max Trainer M3 are available from BowFlex product support, who can also confirm which manual revision matches your serial number.
How is the Max Trainer M6 different from the Max Trainer M3?
The Max Trainer M6 keeps the same two-in-one elliptical and stepper motion and the same 14-minute interval workout, with several additions the Max Trainer M3 did not have: 16 resistance levels, a backlit LCD console, 4-grip handlebars, and Bluetooth connection to the JRNY app for personalized workouts.
