Sole TT8 Treadmill

Sole TT8 Treadmill Description
The Sole TT8 treadmill differs from other treadmills in one crucial area--the running deck is an impressive 22 inches wide (as compared to the standard 20 inches) by 60 inches long. This gives runners more space to work with, thereby increasing their safety and comfort level. At the same time, the TT8 doesn't skimp on power or functionality, with a robust 3.5-horsepower, continuous-duty motor that delivers speeds of up to 12 miles per hour and inclines of up to 15 percent. Add in the six-window LED display--which tracks your speed, incline, time, distance traveled, calories, pulse, and pace--and you have an ideal treadmill for the home fitness enthusiast.

The TT8 is outfitted with a host of additional user-friendly features, including six auto workout programs, four custom programs, and two heart-rate control programs for cardio or weight loss. When in heart-training mode, the treadmill automatically makes adjustments to the incline to keep you in your target heart-rate zone (the treadmill comes with a wireless chest strap with a 99.9 percent accuracy rating). And users with creaky joints will love the Cushion Flex treadmill deck, which is built to protect your knees from excessive pounding, with the ability to reduce impact up to 40 percent compared to running on asphalt. Other details include a double-woven two-ply running belt; armrest speed and incline controls; and armrest cooling fans. The TT8, which offers a user capacity of 400 pounds, carries the following warranties: lifetime on the frame; three years on the motor, deck, electronics, and wear items; and one year on labor.

Cory Everson Manual Treadmill Reviews

I am more then pleased with this treadmill. I have a very small apartment, but the treadmill folds up so I was able to find a spot for it easily. It was easy to assemble took about 45 minutes, but i did have a 3 year old running around wanting to play with the packing material, so it might be faster for other people. I was worried that the belt might be jerky or hard to move, i shouldn't have been its very smooth. You should note that it is at a permanent incline, you can't take your hands off the handles cause you'll fly off, but the incline provides an excellent workout. I work out in the morning and this treadmill is so quiet i can watch TV without having to turn it up really loud which is great cause my little boy is sleeping in the other room. The price is great to, i highly recommend.

Nautilus T514 Treadmill Reviews

Great Machine from a Company with Super Customer Service Nautilus T514 Treadmill

Once I got news the treadmill was on the way, I had to figure out where to put it. I've always wanted one, but my house is crammed with books, everywhere. I've converted my garage to a library, got bookcases galore in it. It's were I keep my fiction, over five thousand books, which take up half of my two car garage. In the other half I have my computer against one wall and a table and chairs between the wall and the bookcases. The room is comfy, comfy with lots of throw rugs and my grandad's paintings on the walls.

I haven't opened the garage door in years, got it unplugged, didn't even know if it still worked. But when the truck came, I plugged it in and up it went. I moved my table and chairs a little closer to the back wall, leaving plenty of room for the treadmill, but I was worried it might disrupt the feng shui of the room.

The big truck was too big to back into my driveway. It took up most of the street. My neighbors came out to look. I think they thought I was moving. The driver opened the back, lowered the gate and there it was, on a pallet, which was on a hand type forklift, and the box was broken! It was obvious there was going to be dammage. I was heartbroken.

The driver wheeled the treadmill into the garage, positioned it on top of a purple throw rug, then left. I waved to my neighbors who were more than curious, because I have never, ever opened that garage. Kevin, the guy from next door, came over and asked if I wanted help and I told him no, because I was going to write this review and I wanted to see if I could do everything myself.

He asked if he could watch. I told him and a few others, sure. Then I got a utility knife and cut away the package, because noway Jose could I lift it. The package away, I gave my utility knife to Kevin and he cut the cardboard packaging into manageable pieces which he put in my trash can.

The machine came in four parts, not counting the screws; the treadmill itself, the two side panels which hold up the center consol and the power cord. The side panels, both left and right, were broken. However, luckily for me, they were still able to do their job.

My brother Ken called Nautilus, because I hate doing that kind of stuff. He got through to a customer service rep named Courtney who went above and beyond in getting me sorted out and getting the parts on the way. And they didn't break 'em, the trucking company did. So I've gotta give a couple huge thumbs up to Nautilus. So Courtney, if you're reading this, Ken says, "Hey," and "Thanks from both of us."

Okay, was it easy to set up and get going. Yes and no. Had I started with a proper extension cord, then I woulda been in like Flynn, but I didn't. The power cord that came with the machine was a bit too short, so I took a thick extension cord I had around. The middle ground plug was broken off, but hey it still worked fine. Not. I couldn't get the machine to work. It would start for a second or so,then stop. For ten or fifteen minutes I felt like a clown in a circus show as my neighbors watched me getting more and more frustrated.

Then Kevin from next door says maybe I should try another cord and he goes and gets this hundred foot look orange cord. We tried it and presto bango the treadmill worked. This machine knew it wasn't grounded and it wasn't gonna run till it was.

So, I've been using the machine faithfully every day. It's a breeze to operate, tells me my heart rate and has all kinds of ways you can set it, but since it's just me on it, I just turn it on, set the speed and start walking. Well, I'm jogging now. I love, love, love this machine. I use it everyday, every single day. Thank you Nautilus for making such a wonderful thing.

Oh yes, I set the machine up all by myself, easy as can be. And I threw away my bad power cord. I guess they have that third prong on there for a reason. Oh and that feng shui business, the treadmill looks just gorgeous on top of that purple rug. It's just a friendly big machine, begging me to get on it and work out.

Body Rider Manual Treadmill Reviews

I bought this Body Rider Manual Treadmill since it was the best deal I found online. It was easy to assemble for the most part, the only problem was a faulty bolt, but when I contacted the company they sent a new one to me right away. It did take a little while to get used to the manual treadmill after using electric ones, but I found that it gives me a better workout. It has 3 incline levels so you can find the one that works best for you. It folds up very easily so I can push it back out of the way while not using it. A great treadmill for someone on a tight budget.

This Body Rider Manual Treadmill is an inexpensive alternative to a large electronic one. I needed something for moderate exercise indoors. It folds nicely and stands up to be unobtrusive when not in use. It operates smoothly enough, but I can see it is kind of cheaply made. A real exerciser would laugh at this unit. I personally, am satisfied with my purchase and will get much satisfaction from using it.

Sole F63 Treadmill

Sole F63 Treadmill Description
You will enjoy working out from the comfort of home with this Sole F63 treadmill. Intuitive features include speed and incline adjustments on the handrails, built-in cooling fans, and a convenient blue backlit LCD display that allows you to keep track of your progress. The built-in audio system lets you work out to your favorite music.

Newly designed for 2009 with updated features, the Sole F63 treadmill has earned a reputation as one of the best-quality treadmills in its price range thanks to its unbeatable combination of high-quality components and user-friendliness. The treadmill offers a strong 2.5-horsepower, continuous-duty motor, which delivers challenging speeds of up to 10 miles per hour and inclines of up to 15 percent. The vibrant blue LCD display, meanwhile, closely tracks your workout progress, with information on your speed, incline, time, distance traveled, calories, pulse, and pace.

Other details include a wireless heart rate chest strap, six preset workouts, including cardio training and fat burning; a large stop switch for safety; a low-profile running hood; speed and incline controls on the armrests; armrest cooling fans; and a 20-by-55-inch running surface. Perhaps most conveniently, however, the treadmill deck folds into a compact footprint and locks into place when not in use, thereby saving a ton of storage space. The F63 treadmill, which offers a user capacity of 325 pounds, carries the following warranties: 20 years on the motor, three years on the deck, lifetime on the frame, three years on the electronics/belt/rollers, and one year on the labor.

Sole F63 Treadmill Reviews

Solid Treadmill The Sole F63 is the best treadmill in it's price range. I know because I basically tested out every single one I could find in my price range. This machine by far is the best one. It was pretty heavy to bring inside, I'd recommend having a friend or two to help get it in the home. It was an easy set up though, some reviews I read said the machine was too big but the dimensions I found on the machine were accurate so I just measured in the room where it was going and it fit perfectly.
It's been about a month now and I haven't had any issues. I haven't been using all the programs as much as I thought mostly because I just like the cardio best. I'm too weak to use just the manual I wouldn't challenge myself enough if I did. I need that program to keep me consistent.
All in all I'm happy with this Sole F63 Treadmill.

Bowflex Series 3 Treadmill Great Treadmill!

I did a fair amount of looking before I bought this model and I am very happy with it. I became interested in Bowflex treadmills after Consumer Reports rated the Bowflex 7 series as one if its best folding models. Shopping on Amazon, I realized that Bowflex made 3 folding treadmills--the 3, the 5, and the 7 series. Online, these look very similar, with the 5 and 7 series having longer tracks and a bigger motors. Strangely, the best source of information on these was not the Bowflex website itself (it has *no* information on the 3 ,5 and 7 series treadmills--just those crazy tread climbers), but rather the specs from Amazon.

Consumer Reports indicated that the best way to buy a treadmill was to actually see how the machine felt. I agree. I managed to find a store that had a 7 series in stock. I was impressed. The 7 series was rock stable and has a very nice folding mechanism--it locks in the up position and drops down slowly when released (a great feature if you worry about your kids getting crushed by the track accidentally). Unfortunately, I could not find a dealer that carried the 3 series to try in person, but it seemed like it would be optimal and very cost effective.

I also tried several Nordic Track treadmills in person. These seemed to have very unappealing walking decks (sproingy!, in a bad way) and even on high hp power machines, the motor seemed to power the track very unevenly.

I decided to take a chance that the 3 series would be as sturdy as the 7 series I tried---I am very happy. Amazon shipped the thing super-saver in a relatively short period of time--very appealing! It was very straightforward to assemble once I got the thing in place--parts are labeled and the assembly pictures are really self explanatory. It is also a quiet machine and the deck is *very* sturdy even for a big guy like me (200+ lbs). One quibble--the grip heartrate monitor could work better--sometimes it does not give a reading after even 10 sec of holding. Also, be aware the deck will not lock in the up position unless you reset the incline to 0 degrees. The incline automatically resets to 0 every time the machine is powered on.

I use the machine primarily for walking, for this application it is great, the machine handles inclines and relatively fast walking speeds with no problem. I can't comment on how well this machine compares with others for running fast. For jogging it seems just fine.

A note on delivery and installation. This thing is *very* heavy (~275 lbs). The shipping company chosen by Amazon (Eagle) did a great job. I called them prior to delivery to schedule when they would drop it off--thats the good news.

The bad news, they would only bring it to the threshold (just inside the house). I asked if they would bring it upstairs for an extra fee and they said--"no way." Three calls to moving companies and an estimate of ~$250-300 to move it from my entry up a flight of stairs--this is not a two person job--the shipping box is enormous (80" x 35" x 16"). I solved this problem by recruiting my father-in-law (also a big guy). We turned the box on its side, opened it, and moved the main piece (track and motor together) by itself. Make sure not to cut the restraining strap, this keeps the frame and the track held in place making moving *much* easier. Even then, the main piece weighs about 200 lbs and was serious work getting around corners. Very glad at that point that I bought the shorter (56") track!

Overall, a great mo-chine--equal to much more expensive models! Glad I managed to avoid a hernia during installation.

Sole F85 Treadmill Reviews

ery, very good product. Only thing is, the "STOP" button broke and fell into the console after two (2) days. Fantastic customer service, though, sent us a new console in a couple of days, no hesitation at all. I am sure it was less expensive than attempting to have someone come out and replace the button, as the mounting housing was part of the interior of the console. All said, I would rate a 96 out of 100. Program choices, including two customized programs for User 1 and User 2 (in addition to other programs), plug in for sound, fan, capacity, speed, incline, and easy-to-understand instructions for use and assembly make this a superior choice. The assembly required is minimal and a 12-year-old could (did) follow the instructions. Worth every penny (and yes, it was a fair number of pennies).
