Treadmill

"I have had this treadmill for about a month and absolutely love it. My husband, who is not mechanically inclined whatsoever, put it together quickly. It runs smoothly and quietly. The construction is very solid and the belt runs smoothly. Easy to read and understand instructions, as well. For the money, this was a fantastic purchase."

"I scheduled the delivery and the delivery guys brought it just inside my door for me. I live alone, but I managed to push the box to my bedroom and put it together by myself. It would have been easier to get out of the box with 2 people, but after some swearing, I did it. After that, it was a breeze to unfold the handles and attach the console. All the tools you need come with it. And, this treadmill is the most quiet one I've ever used! No problem watching TV while I work out. I highly recommend it, especially at this great price with free shipping! You can't beat it!"

"The best thing about this treadmill is that it is a highly professional piece of equipment. It looks like and has all the functions of all the high end treadmills that I have seen or used in the local gyms - but WITHOUT the high end cost. The console provides multiple functions so that each user can program a personal routine and save it. The routine can be based on sex/weight/and type of program and later shows calories burned, AND the program can be converted to Metric standards easily. There are multiple course options to choose from so that beginners, intermediate users, and athletes can use the machine and get a great workout from it. For serious folks wanting to improve their health or train for personal or athletic goals, this equipment comes with a heart monitor and instructions in the book for setting goals to reach 65%, 75%, or 85% heart rates.

Another favorite quality of this piece of equipment is that the walking deck can actually be folded upwards so that it is in a standing position instead of taking up floor space! That's right - it folds! Even though this is a heavy, professional weight and quality piece of equipment, the deck folds up into the arms/handlebars so that you can have the floor space for other uses."

"It is quiet and won't disturb other members of the household (unlike, say, a Nordic Track), and very important -- it's easier on your joints than running on a hard surface. This is important if you've been running awhile or if you're older starting out, but younger runners should be thinking ahead -- I know, I didn't think ahead at the time, either, just ran on the pavement, but your knees will thank you if you do. Of course, you should still use good running shoes and be sure they are sized properly. OT: your running shoes often should be 1/2 size bigger than your other shoes, to make sure that your weight lands on the cushioned part of the shoe, not the narrow part toward the toe. For lubricating the treadmill, you can use Liquid Wrench (comes in a spray can at a home improvement center or hardware store). It's very easy and low maintenance."

"I still can't believe I got free delivery on this treadmill. Thank you Amazon! We wanted to put the treadmill in an upstairs bedroom, so it took my husband and adult son a while to carry it up the stairs. But once it was up there, it was very easy to assemble. My husband and I both use it, and are delighted with its performance. We bought the mat and the lubricant with the treadmill, and would highly recommend that.

The only thing that is a little disappointing is that the grip heart rate monitor really doesn't work very well. I suppose the chest strap version would work better, but we would have had to buy the 860 model to get it. But we love how easily the display works. The fan is wonderful, and so necessary!"
