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.

Customer Reviews

OK, not great. Updated January 2006.
This treadmill is pretty much as advertised. Made by Keyes, like many other treadmill brands. Built in fan is nice, and it's not too noisy when running. Not too hard to assemble, has a nice display of a track with lights to show where you would be. 4 numerical displays cycle between time and lap number, calories, etc., so you can't always see what your times is. In particular, you can't see within 4 seconds what your mile time is, since it shows you that you finished the lap, hiding the time display for some seconds. The "shock assist" is so weak that it's almost worthless. If you let go during the unfolding process it will come crashing down, so don't let go despite the shock assist!

Other features: extra speed and incline controls near the hand grips so you don't have to let go if you don't want to; one-touch controls on the front panel allow you to go directly to, for example, 5 degree inclination or 8 mph, with one push.

My delivery was missing the chest strap heart monitor. I called customer service and they were very nice, and said they would send one out. I haven't been able to get the pulse grips to work yet either; he suggested cleaning them. The service person also admitted that the shock assist was hardly anything, and not upgradeable. I pointed out that the recommended NAPA 8300 lubricant was very hard to find, so he said any dry silicone would be OK.

The chest arrived but still did not function. I called again, and, to make a long story short, I took a digital photo and emailed it to customer service, who determined that I needed an entire new motherboard with daughterboards--the two daughterboards controlling the handgrips and chest strap were just missing! The new motherboard was Fedex'd to me but the Chritmas holidays made the delivery take longer than expected. Eventually this new motherboard arrived, and I installed it, and now everything works fine (except the poor shock assist, which still bugs me. On this point customer service was not helpful, only apologetic).

In the end, I still conclude that this treadmill is "OK, not great". My unit certainly seems like evidence of quality control problems. But hours spent with customer service did pay off.

Problematic Treadmill- Horrible Customer Service
After reviewing this treadmill in Consumer Reports- we decided to purchase this- and it arrived on March 1st. This treadmill has been making 'squeeking' noises since the very start when it is on any incline higher than 1.5. I have contacted Customer Service- my husband (who is very mechanical) worked on it for over two hours with no resolution and now I am waiting for them to have a "service tech" call me- who is now two days past the date they told me I could expect a call. If this squeek was not an issue, I would be very happy with the treadmill. It runs well and is easy to use- and I would rate it highly. However, as it is defective and no-one at Ironman seems to care to resolve the issue, it is very frusterating.

This has been a nightmare.
The treadmill worked great for about five months and then the motor started smoking. Customer service sent me a replacement motor and within 2 days it started smoking again. I called three weeks ago and they said they were sending a service technician...they never came. I called again. They said it was a glitch and that they would put in another repair order and I would hear from the repair man within three days...I never heard back and they never came. I called for a third time, once again they said there was a glitch in the work order. They said they called the repair man and he would call me that same day to set up a time for service...the call never came. I am going to call back on Monday but I bet the same thing will happen. I will never buy another Keys Fitness product again. The treadmill isn't well built and the customer service is a disaster. Please do yourself a favor and buy another treadmill.
