NordicTrack T 7.5 S Treadmill – Great Entry-Level Machine!

May 6, 2020 Robert

Overall, the NordicTrack T 7.5 S Treadmill is a great entry-level machine for those who are looking to stay at home, get fit, and not have to bring in outside personal training help. The frame of the T 7.5 S is light enough to handle easily while still being sturdy enough for multiple users to enjoy the treadmill daily.  The maximum weight capacity for the T 7.5 S is 300 lbs.

The T 7.5 S comes equipped with a DurX Commercial Plus 3.0 CHP motor capable of reaching top speeds of 12 MPH. This motor runs relatively quiet, allowing you to workout without disturbing family members or neighbors. The available incline range on the T 7.5 S is 0% to 12%, which is enough range to ramp up your calorie burn.

You can become immersed in your treadmill workouts when you use the 7” high-definition touchscreen. It is responsive to the touch, even when your hands are sweaty, and lets you easily navigate through the workout programs and your exercise data.

Choose from 50 different workout programs on the T 7.5 S, allowing you to enjoy variety when you exercise. The programs come organized so you can select them based on your fitness level, which allows you room to improve. Along with the comprehensive workout programs, you will receive a year of access to iFit Coach when you buy the T 7.5 S.

Is the Reebok Jet 300 Treadmill equipped for your needs?

March 31, 2020 Robert

The Reebok Jet 300 treadmill comes equipped with a 2.5 hp motor, 20″ x 59″ (51 cm x 150 cm) oversized running area, 15 levels of electronic incline, and 27 different workouts. With a motor and deck, this size the Jet 300 is suitable for most runners regardless of the height, and with a max user weight of 308 lbs (140 kg), it will cater to most family environments.

Cushioning is provided by way of the Jet Airpods seen on the other Jet series machines, and, true to form, the running experience is a good one. Not too hard to jolt and shock the bones but not too soft and bouncy, meaning that you get a soft landing and a good launch at the same time.

The console features a bright blue LED display. The use of LEDs makes it easy to see the screen more or less, regardless of ambient light conditions. The feedback is for time, speed, distance, pulse/calories, and incline is all nicely separated, each set having its window, which makes for rapid and easy reading of the stats while you’re running.

There are 27 different workout modes with plenty of preset workouts, as well as the ability to design and program your personalized workouts. Inputting your workouts isn’t too tricky, but if you can’t be bothered with all that, you can press start to run in manual mode and adjust the settings in real-time during your run.

Sunny ASUNA 7700 Treadmill – heavy-duty manual treadmill!

March 19, 2020 Robert

The Sunny ASUNA 7700 Treadmill from Sunny Health & Fitness is the best manual Treadmill for running and other more intense workouts. HIIT and Tabata enthusiasts love it. At 167 lbs., with transport wheels and a soft-drop system, this unit is portable and compact—with a fold-up length of 27.5 inches. Surprisingly, it has a very high user weight capacity of 440 lbs.

The ASUNA 7700 has two heavy-duty magnetic flywheels at the front that give a smooth ride with eight different resistance levels—you can control the resistance by little gear shift that is easy to reach, at the user’s right side. Also, the incline is adjustable in 1-degree gradients from 10 to 14 degrees.

Even as it has no console, it does have a rubber gripping surface to hold an iPad/tablet—many users might prefer this. Furthermore, the handrails— made of sweat resistant, grip-able material—are extensive to allow eight different holding positions.

With the ASUNA 7700, you can walk/run forward, backward, and sideways—you can even do a series of squats on it. You can do sled-push/drive movements. You can also do climbing exercises—with the hands-on floor, pushing with legs, or hands walking on the Treadmill, with feet on the floor.

XTERRA TRX3500 Folding Treadmill – excellent features!

March 8, 2020 Robert

The XTERRA TRX3500 Folding Treadmill is a good option for shoppers with smaller treadmill budgets. It meets performance standards set for higher-priced treadmills. I also like how the TRX3500 supports two user-profiles and delivers a variety of customizable exercise programs.

Key features include a two-ply 60” x 20” workout surface; a 3.0 HP drive motor; power incline to 12 percent; 30 preset workout programs; and a heart rate controlled workout program that works with a wireless chest strap (not included). Additionally, the console can store two user-profiles and lets each user store two custom-designed treadmill workouts.

Workout data is shown on a 6.5” LCD with blue backlighting for easy reading. An animated racetrack graphic illustrates your progress, and the window displays multiple data points at once. For comparison, many other low-priced treadmills have smaller readouts and require scanning to show different data fields.

You can pair an Apple or Android mobile device via Bluetooth with the TRX3500 Treadmill, and the fitness machine will automatically export your calorie burn, distance covered, heart rate, and other treadmill exercise statistics. The free XTERRA Fitness app is also compatible with Fitbit wearables and other fitness mobile apps.

ProForm Performance 800i Treadmill – a good beginner model!

February 18, 2020 Robert

Are you looking for a beginner treadmill? The ProForm Performance 800i is a great option to consider. The ProForm Smart Performance 800i is an excellent treadmill for walking and jogging. For the more serious runner, it will not be challenging enough with the motor power of just 2.75 CHP.

The incline of 10 % is the usual standard range and actually on the low end, but the -2% decline rounds it out to tone and strengthens additional muscles.  Also, the 800i running deck itself is a decent size. The length is similar to the standard used in commercial gyms, which means it will fit most everyone’s stride.

The 800i has an almost endless supply of workout sessions at your disposal via the 50 that comes built-in along with the iFit app. There are enough programs to motivate and keep you active on the treadmill, pushing you to new levels.

The 14-inch full-color capacitive touch display may not seem like a big deal these days with 22” screens coming out. But this is a good size that is large enough to read and follow your stats and instructors. The EKG Grip Pulse Sensor allows you to monitor your heart rate without having to break your stride or concentration.
