PLS–0500 Knee Raise/Ab Crunch
Brand: TRUE Fitness · Category: Plate Loaded
The TRUE PLS-0500 Knee Raise/Ab Crunch is a full-commercial plate-loaded dual-pivot abdominal machine from TRUE’s Palladium series, built for commercial gyms that want upper and lower abdominals trained in one loaded movement. A patent-pending dual-pivot design delivers an ab crunch and a knee raise at the same time to target the upper and lower abdominals, on a low-profile frame with two weight-storage posts. It occupies 99 × 191 cm of floor.

Plate loaded, 99 × 191 cm footprint
The TRUE PLS-0500 is the knee raise and ab crunch in TRUE Fitness’s Palladium plate-loaded line, built for dynamic core training. A patent-pending dual-pivot design produces simultaneous ab-crunch and knee-raise movements that target the upper and lower abdominals in one repetition, the low-profile frame makes entry and exit easy, and two weight-storage posts keep plates within reach.
Who is this machine for?
The PLS-0500 suits commercial gyms, strength and athletic facilities, university and corporate fitness centres and premium home gyms in India that want a core machine members can load progressively rather than a bodyweight station.
Muscles worked and key exercises
The crunch half of the movement targets the upper rectus abdominis and the knee-raise half the lower abdominals and hip flexors, with the obliques stabilising. Loading plates lets the resistance grow in small, measurable steps.
Build quality and adjustment
The dual pivots move the upper body and legs together, the frame is low profile for easy entry and exit, the plate horn takes standard Olympic plates and two storage posts hold spares, with an instruction placard showing start and end positions.
Like every Palladium machine, it is TRUE’s premium plate-loaded design: unilateral lever arms that converge or diverge along the natural arc of the joint, gas-assisted seat adjustment, built-in weight-storage posts, an instruction placard and a height-adjustment guide, finished in matte-black powder coat with custom frame colours and 18 upholstery options. Resistance comes from the Olympic plates the facility already owns. TRUE backs the frame and welds for 10 years with 5 years on bearings, bushings and pulleys.
Space and installation
The PLS-0500 measures 99 × 191 × 157 cm (39" × 75" × 62") (L × W × H). The PLS-0500 measures 99 × 191 × 157 cm (L × W × H). Allow about 0.6 m clear at the plate horn for loading and 0.6 m on the entry side. No power is needed. Luxe Fitness delivers, assembles and levels the machine; plates are chosen separately.
Care and maintenance
Wipe the upholstery and grips after each session and unload plates between users. Check the pivot bearings, gas cylinders, plate horns and lock-outs monthly and tighten frame bolts quarterly. Book a service visit if any pivot develops play or noise.

Frequently asked questions
How is the TRUE PLS-0500 different from a normal ab crunch machine?
Its dual pivots move the torso and the knees toward each other at once, so the upper and lower abdominals work in the same repetition; a conventional crunch machine moves the torso only.
Does the TRUE PLS-0500 come with plates?
No. It is plate loaded and takes standard Olympic plates, which Luxe Fitness can supply with the machine.
What warranty does the TRUE PLS-0500 have in India?
Luxe Fitness offers up to 5 years warranty on this machine, covering frame, major moving parts and upholstery on separate terms. Ask us for the warranty card for your exact model before purchase.
