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.
While many different types, styles, and price ranges of treadmills exist, many of them 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 simple to complex features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting beneficial cardiovascular results without a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.
The product itself is absolutely wonderful!!! I love having a treadmill in my own home. My husband loves it and we use it everyday. Since we live in Jersey, this keeps us from using the excuse, “it’s too cold outside to go to the gym!” It’s actually quite quiet and has all the basic functions my husband and I were looking for. Great product.
Problems- I was refused inside delivery when I was told otherwise the day before. Also the treadmill is missing one major component, one of the two bolts which are to hold the handlebars upright. (I am still waiting for parts) I have contacted customer service twice and still no replacement or even some kind of acknowledgement. Called and stood on the line for over 30 minutes without any answer. Product is great but be aware you will have to transport this item yourself into the house and pray you have all the parts.

Rating: 5 / 5
The box did arrive damaged, but everything appeared to be okay inside. It is fairly heavy yet easy to move on a level surface, but I’m not sure how getting it up stairs would work. The top of the console comes in three sections, there’s one bag of tools, one bag for the cord, and then the rest of the unit. I was able to move the unit from my garage to my living room myself without too much problem, but I’m over 6′ with enough muscle to do it, most people will need help moving it and all the directions call for two people to set it up. All the tools are included and it took only about 15 minutes to tighten a couple of bolts and unscrew a few screws, put on the console, and replace the screws. Fairly simple.
Just a test run today to see how quiet it is which I was concerned about, but it is very quiet, even more so than I’d hoped. So far it appears to be very solid and I hope to get a lot of use out of it. The instructions do say to use some silicon lubricant prior to use and after every 50 hours or 3 months, which I didn’t know about.
