Keiser | M3i Total Body Trainer

Keiser M3i Total Body Trainer

The Keiser M3i Total Body Trainer is a dual-action stationary bike with movable upper-body arms, built on the M3i platform and fitted with the M Connect Display. Arms and pedals drive the same magnetic resistance system. Riders can work upper and lower body together, work them independently, or isolate either one. It stands 54 in. high, 29 in. wide and 49 in. deep. At 112 lb of frame, it is the tallest and heaviest machine Keiser builds on the M3 platform. The frame takes riders from 4 ft 10 in. to 6 ft 10 in., and Keiser builds it in Fresno, California.

Two mechanical facts decide how this bike rides and both are easier to know now than after delivery. The upper-body arms cannot be locked in a fixed position, so there is no legs-only setting with a static bar to hold on to. The crank arms are linked, which makes it a fixed-gear machine with no freewheel, so the pedals keep turning for as long as the wheel is turning. Gear 88 is the emergency brake and it is how you bring the drive to a stop in a hurry.

Resistance is magnetic and changes in infinite increments across Gears 1 to 24, and the drive is a single self-tensioning Poly-V belt. The M Connect Display puts cadence, power, Kcals, heart rate, ride time, odometer, trip distance and gear on one screen, runs on two AA batteries and sends data to the Keiser M Series App over Bluetooth. The seat adjusts four ways and is wider and more cushioned than the saddle on a standard M3i, which matters on a bike you ride with your hands as well as your feet. Maximum user weight is 300 lb, and the machine is built to ISO 20957-1 Usage Class S for studio and commercial use at Accuracy Class A.

How it works

On the Total Body Trainer the arms are permanently joined to the drive, so every turn of the cranks moves the handles. The arms have no locked position, the crank arms are linked to each other, and one magnetic brake answers to both ends of the machine.

The Upper-Body Arms Cannot Be Locked

The Total Body Trainer works upper and lower body at once, works them independently, or isolates either one on its own. Ride it with your arms and your legs together and both ends push the same wheel. Ride the legs on their own and the arms travel along with the cranks. Ride the arms on their own and your feet sit on the pedals while your hands drive the wheel. What it will not do is park the arms, because they have no fixed position and no lock. Whenever your feet turn the cranks the arms travel with them, so a legs-only effort is ridden with your hands resting on moving handles instead of a static bar. Plan for that before the machine arrives, because it changes what a legs-only interval feels like against an ordinary indoor cycle.

No locked position

Linked Crank Arms Mean There Is No Freewheel

The crank arms are linked, which makes this a fixed-gear machine. There is no freewheel and no coasting, so as long as the wheel is turning the pedals are turning with it, and you slow the bike by resisting through the pedals or by reaching for Gear 88. A rider coming off a freewheeling exercise bike notices it inside the first minute. Resistance itself is magnetic and changes in infinite increments through Gears 1 to 24, so the step between two efforts can be as small as you want to make it.

Gears 1 to 24

The M Connect Screen Holds Eight Readouts

The M Connect Display is the black-and-white numeric console Keiser fits to the M3i, the M5i Strider and this machine, and it shows cadence, power, Kcals, heart rate, ride time, odometer, trip distance and gear together on one screen. It runs on two AA batteries, so the bike needs no outlet and can stand anywhere there is floor for it. Bluetooth carries the numbers to the Keiser M Series App on a phone or tablet, and to the M Series Group App when a coach is running a room full of machines. Twenty-four gears are numbered on the screen, so the setting a rider is working at is a number they can call out and come back to. The watts beside that gear number are one figure for the whole machine, because the arms and the pedals are both working against the same brake.

Two AA batteries

A Wider Seat That Adjusts Four Ways

The seat moves in four directions, up and down and fore and aft, and it is wider and more cushioned than the saddle fitted to a standard M3i. That follows from the way the bike is ridden, because a rider whose hands are working the arms sits more upright than one bent over a fixed handlebar, and the seat carries more of the load. Four-way adjustment is the same arrangement Keiser fits across the M3 family, and on this machine it has to hold a rider who is pulling on the arms as well as turning the pedals. Between the seat and a height range of 4 ft 10 in. to 6 ft 10 in., one machine covers most of a household and most of a squad. Handing it from one rider to the next is mostly a matter of that seat: note the height and the setback each rider settles on, and the changeover afterwards is two adjustments long.

Ownership

Key features

The Total Body Trainer is the tallest and heaviest machine Keiser builds on the M3 platform, at 54 in. high and 112 lb. Its seat is wide upholstery, which puts the Keiser Gel Seat Cover, written for narrow saddles, outside the parts that fit this machine.

The Frame Stops at 300 lb

Maximum user weight is 300 lb, and the frame fits a rider from 4 ft 10 in. to 6 ft 10 in.

A Machine Fifty-Four Inches Tall

54 in. high, 29 in. wide, 49 in. deep and 112 lb, so a standard doorway and an 8 ft ceiling both clear it.

Cover Runs Three Years All Inclusive

M Series Cardio cover runs three years all inclusive, with labor and the wearable parts outside it and ninety days of their own.

A Seat Wider Than the M3i Saddle

Four-way adjustment, up and down and fore and aft, on a seat more cushioned than the one on a standard M3i.

The Pedals Never Stop Turning

Linked crank arms make this a fixed-gear machine with no freewheel, and Gear 88 brings the drive to a stop.

Batteries Sit Behind the Display

The M Connect Display takes two AA alkaline batteries, so the machine needs no power outlet anywhere near it.

Built to the Studio Usage Class

ISO 20957-1 Usage Class S for studio and commercial use, at Accuracy Class A on the power readings.

Keiser Builds It in Fresno

The M3i Total Body Trainer is made in the USA, in Fresno, California.

How it compares

The M3i Indoor Bike, this Total Body Trainer and the M5i Strider Elliptical Machine share the M Connect Display and the same 24 gears. They differ in body position and in what the hands do while the legs work.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

No. The upper-body arms cannot be locked in a fixed position, so there is no legs-only mode with a static bar to hold. Whenever the cranks turn, the arms travel with them. A legs-only effort is ridden with your hands riding along on moving handles, and an arms-only effort is ridden with your feet still on the pedals. It is the single biggest difference between this machine and a dual-action bike with lockable handles.

No. The crank arms are linked and the machine is fixed gear. There is no freewheel, so the pedals keep turning for as long as the wheel is turning and you cannot coast. Slowing down is done through the pedals and the gear selector, and Gear 88 is the emergency brake when you want the drive stopped quickly. Riders used to a freewheeling exercise bike notice this in the first minute of the first session.

300 lb. Rider height runs from 4 ft 10 in. to 6 ft 10 in. over the same frame. The machine's own weight is a separate figure at 112 lb, and the floor carries that before anyone gets on.

4 ft 10 in. to 6 ft 10 in., which is 58 to 82 in. The seat does the fitting work, adjusting in four directions, up and down and fore and aft. It is also wider and more cushioned than the saddle on a standard M3i Indoor Bike, which suits a rider sitting more upright to work the arms.

54 in. high, 29 in. wide and 49 in. deep, at 112 lb. That makes it taller, wider and heavier than every other bike Keiser builds on the M3 platform, and the extra width is the upper-body arm assembly. Check the doorway on the way in and leave clearance overhead, because the arms swing above the frame line while you ride.

Yes. Bluetooth on the M Connect Display reaches the Keiser M Series App for a rider training alone and the M Series Group App for a coach watching a room of machines in real time. Everything on the screen travels with it, arms and legs read as one effort: cadence, power, Kcals, heart rate, ride time, odometer, trip distance and gear.

No, they share one setting. The upper-body arms and the pedals drive one magnetic resistance system, so a single gear between 1 and 24 sets the load at both ends and there is no second dial for the arms. Push and pull on the handles while your legs turn and what you feel is one load, reported as one power figure on the M Connect Display. The eight readouts on the screen are therefore the same eight whether you are riding with your arms, your legs or both, and Gear 88 stops the arms and the cranks together. Changing gear changes it at both ends at once, so an interval that is hard on the legs is hard on the arms in the same measure.

24, numbered 1 to 24 on the M Connect Display, with Gear 88 held above the range as the emergency brake. Resistance is magnetic and moves in infinite increments, so the gear number is a reference point a coach can call while the resistance itself moves continuously. The M3i Indoor Bike carries the same 24 gears on the same display.

The M3i Indoor Bike is a seated indoor cycle with a fixed handlebar. The Total Body Trainer adds movable upper-body arms on the same drive, a wider and more cushioned seat, and a bigger frame at 54 in. high and 29 in. wide against the M3i's 49 in. and 26 in. Both carry the M Connect Display, the same 24 gears, magnetic resistance and a self-tensioning Poly-V belt. The Total Body Trainer takes a rider of up to 300 lb, at heights from 4 ft 10 in. to 6 ft 10 in.

No. Power for the display comes from two AA alkaline batteries, and the magnetic brake it reports on takes none at all, so nothing about a 112 lb dual-action machine depends on where the sockets are. Site it for the 54 in. of height and the arm swing instead.

Three years, all inclusive, with labor and wearable parts sitting outside that cover and the wearable parts carrying ninety days of their own. One M Series cardio warranty covers a gym, a team facility and a spare room alike. A machine exported out of the US is outside the cover unless it was bought through a Keiser distributor or dealer in the country it is installed in.

Yes. It is built to ISO 20957-1 Usage Class S, the studio and commercial class, at Accuracy Class A for the power readings on the display. Keiser builds it in Fresno, California, and the warranty on M Series cardio equipment draws no line between commercial and residential use.
