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.

good so far September 7, 2010 Maine3k2 This treadmill was easy to put together, works great for what it is meant to do. modes are easy to understand, i pulse reader just seems to not be to accurate but i have a heart rate monitor watch that i use for that anyway. The treadmill folds up to conserve space. the belt bed seems a bit short so if you are over 6ft with long legs this may not be for you. aside from that it is great.I will leave a review a few months from now to make sure that it is still working.
Good bargain August 30, 2010 A. Puranik (PA) I purchased this from Amazon warehouse - used like new...$ 350
Arrived 8 days later in MINT condition. Cant tell its used.
Thanks CEVA delivery guys for delivering the heavy package all the way into the basement
Assembly was a breeze.... 45-50 minutes start to end on my own
Have used it only for a few minutes after the assembly and oiling. looks sturdy. In my opinion it will be good for walking and light running. The surface area doesnt appear to be big enough for serious running with long strides...Might be an issue for taller folks (6ft+)
Overall good value for money. Specially happy that the assembly was relatively easy.
Great value August 29, 2010 B. Elliott (Atlanta, GA) We have been very impressed with this treadmill for the price. I was a little worried because one reviewer said that it didn't fit together well. After putting this treadmill together, I figure that they have tightened the bolts too early because things will not fit well if you tightened before the manual tells you to. However, if you follow the instructions, this goes together relatively easily and feels very sturdy. The other possibility and slightly odd thing that they might have been referring to is that the console (control center) sits up top with tension (which adds some stability), so you must somewhat force the metal posts to bend into place (with moderate effort) in order to get the console situated. It took about an hour to assemble by myself (except for putting the console on; having someone hold it in place while I pulled the posts apart for a snug fit).
We've used it about a dozen times since purchase and so far no complaints. The padding is nice and it has nice features for the price too. This was a good purchase.
Great Basic Treadmill August 21, 2010 Mark Austin This is a great basic treadmill with a simple control panel. I use the treadmill to do some walking while I'm on the computer, so I didn't want to waste money on a control panel with all sorts of unnecessary stuff like its own monitor and speakers. The treadmill has all the features I wanted and seems to be really well made. I've had it for about 3 weeks now and walk on it about an hour a day with no complaints.
For others who are looking for a treadmill that can go under their computer stands: I was easily also able to unscrew the control panel from the big plastic handlebar top-section and use the treadmill with no console masts (but this probably voids my warranty). You will still need the left console mast if you want to fold the treadmill up though, because that piece has the locking pin.
Great for budget. Ok for use. August 21, 2010 Jeremy from NC I've had the treadmill for about 2 months now. Here are a few of my pros and cons.
PROS:
No mechanical issues. (So far)
Budget friendly.
Display gives lots of information.
CONS:
Running Tread is very hard to get aligned. (First time only)
Easy to build up a charge while running and get shocked when touching the metal on the treadmill.
No Fan.
Had to drill a new hole in one of the pieces to make it fit. (It was a cosmetic piece anyways)
Kinda bulky. (Cannot move between rooms easily. I had to disassemble to move to another room.)
Overall, I am pretty happy with this treadmill. The biggest problem is building up a charge while running and getting shocked when touching heart rate monitor. (It really hurts!) If you are on a tighter budgets I'd say go for this one, but realize it is far from perfect. If you have more money get something else!
