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.

Great Machine, Great Company
Got this treadmill through a sporting goods store. Drove 200 miles round trip. When I opened the crate, the motor hood and grill was cracked. No problem I thought, so I assembled it. Fired up the motor and it lasted only six minutes before it crapped out. My heart sanked. There was no way I was going to packed this monster up and haul it another two hundred miles. This was the perfect time to test the warrenty, which by the way was one of the reasons I bought this treadmill. I called the next day, and was not on hold. The gentleman spoke good english, and I was impressed with his technical knowledge. This guy did not read from a script or guide. Bottom line he knew the treadmill inside and out. He gave me some procedures to try, they did'nt work. He prompty ordered me all the parts and the machine was up and running. Sole backs up their warrenty and products. The technical dept was 5 star. The warrenty is one of the best in the industry. Now lets review the machine.
The machine is a monster and very stable. Word of caution. Loading this treadmill is no joke. You will need 2 able bodies to get this in your house. If you have haul this monster up some stairs, then I pity you. Assembly takes about 30 minutes. Assembly instructions are good. The treadmill has a good starting smooth movement. Then gradually start to speed up to your desired speed. The heart rate chest strap is great. You can program the machine (age, weight, and max beats) and the machine will keep your in that zone by using a combonation of incline and speed adjustments. The heart rate hand grips are not fast nor accurate. This is a great machine. I do look forward to working out. My only complaint was the instruction booklet. It does'nt do the treadmill justice. There are alot of buttons on this machine, so alot of trial and error on learning the programs and features. Also it uses heavyduty rubber control buttons, not the membrane buttons that crack. This is one tank of an treadmill. I LOVE IT. JB
Amazing Treadmill
This treadmill is worth every dime. The programing is easy and there are plenty of options for your workout. Having tried several other home treadmills, I can honestly write that this one feels much more smooth and sturdy. It feels similar to one that you would use in a gym. I have no complaints at all.
