About Treadmills
Walking is still considered one of the most beneficial cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels. As a fundamental form of aerobic training, walking has numerous physical benefits for the heart, lungs, and circulatory system, while also increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories. Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all weather conditions in the comfort and safety of your own home.

From beginners just starting an exercise regimen to advanced athletes looking to maintain their fitness level, anyone interested in getting and staying in shape can benefit greatly from regular use of a treadmill. Treadmills allow you to determine the pace, distance, and complexity of the workout based on your needs, all while watching television, talking on the telephone, or reading a magazine. Much easier on sensitive joints like the knees and hips, treadmill walking and running surfaces are typically long, padded platforms that allow ample room for a long stride and comfortable, low-impact walk or jog without the harsh contact of a concrete surface.

Many treadmills offer unique features like a fold-up design for easy storage, an electronic display monitor showing speed, distance, workout time, incline level, and burned calories, and EKG grip pulses to monitor the heart rate while exercising. Regardless of the features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting cardiovascular benefits without requiring a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.

5 out of 5 stars Good product and VERY good service   July 27, 2010
Utopia (California)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

You get what you pay for... For the price of 399, I really think this is a very good deal, plus I saved the shipping and handling and California's 9.75% taxes (totally more than 100 dollars). For the product itself, I would give 4 stars, very easy to operate, very sturdy, doesn't make a lot of noise. And AMAZON's excellent service earned extra 1 star...

I originally ordered this 8 days ago. Upon receiving the first one, I noticed a problem with one side of extension tube (out of shape), which caused the wheel unable to fit into the tube. So I called AMAZON right after I noticed it, and told the customer representative what happened, they immediately ordered replacement to me. I received the replacement this afternoon, and the driver picked up the old one at the same time with NO extra charge at all.

It took me (female, without any help, 5'4" tall) less than 45 minutes to put it together. All necessary tools came within the package. Instruction is very easy to follow. The only minor problem that I encountered with was the heaviness of the treadmill itself. However, once you have Deck Lock Latch installed, you can use it to help you lift the running belt, so you can screw the bolts underneath. It's really not hard to assemble this treadmill.

Overall, I am very happy with this purchase so far, and I hope the treadmill can last at least two to three years...



5 out of 5 stars A good deal   July 12, 2010

All the parts came with it and were well labeled. It was easy to put together. I'm 59 yo and really fat, so if it was easy for me, I'm pretty sure anyone can do it. I was looking for a used one for a long time, but finally decided to buy new and think I got a lot for the money with this treadmill. My pulse reading jumps all over, so I don't think it is accurate, but it's not that important to me. I like the pre-programmed settings, and I like to set my own. Everything is simple, and that's the way I like it.


3 out of 5 stars Good value but questionable quality   July 12, 2010
adrian coates
the assembly instructions should be outside the box,not inside,I opened the box inside my garage,found the instructions which tell you to open the box inthe location where it is to be assembled which was upstairs;first thing I noticed was the plastic motor housing was cracked,it didn't really bother me but my partner was furious and wanted me to return it.Assembly wasn't difficult but it was hard to align some of the bolt holes.biggest disappointment was the incline setting didn't function howver on removing the motor cover I found a wire connction hadn't been made which was easily rectifed and now it works fine
I am finding it avery useful product.



4 out of 5 stars Hire a handyman   July 12, 2010

This proves to be an outstanding machine, ONCE you assemble it. I took one look at the directions,and along with the significant weight of the product and parts, decided to call a VERY mechanically inclined handyman. Aside from the plastic housing of my machine being damaged in transit, all pieces were intact, but my handyman said this was NOT a job for your average Joe- it took him one hour to fully assemble and get us up and running.
But like I said, now that we're set up, I am very happy with this machine and its qualities.
Not sure I would ever purchase a piece of equipment like this on the internet again(no rec ourse for the damaged housing-send it back??? and really not a simple" do-it your-selfer" assembly.)



5 out of 5 stars Great deal for the price   July 9, 2010

This treadmill was easy to assemble and has all of the features (except a built in fan) that I want. It is quiet and simple to operate.
