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.

Nice variety of programs and very quiet running. You have to get use to the beeping very minute on the free run program. Also the programs where you set the speed takes a little getting use to. Overall a great treadmill or the money. I would reccomen it

Excellent quality of fitness equipment. The treadmill met my expectations of having an equipment that suit my needs for indoor exercise. You don’t go wrong by ordering through Amazon since you get the equipment at one of the lowest price compare to others. Free shipping as well, other companies charge you over $135.00.

The product itself is absolutely wonderful!!! I love having a treadmill in my own home. My husband loves it and we use it everyday. Since we live in Jersey, this keeps us from using the excuse, “it’s too cold outside to go to the gym!” It’s actually quite quiet and has all the basic functions my husband and I were looking for. Great product.
Problems- I was refused inside delivery when I was told otherwise the day before. Also the treadmill is missing one major component, one of the two bolts which are to hold the handlebars upright. (I am still waiting for parts) I have contacted customer service twice and still no replacement or even some kind of acknowledgement. Called and stood on the line for over 30 minutes without any answer. Product is great but be aware you will have to transport this item yourself into the house and pray you have all the parts.
Item 5 stars
Delivery- delayed.. 1 star
customer service- 1 star

I think that the reviews so far have been quite accurate. The treadmill is very quiet, and it runs smoothly. The display is easy to read, and the fan is actually quite effective. I also love the fact that a User can save as accumulating data the miles and calories burned.
There are few negatives to note. 1. The treadmill is quite heavy to move (particularly upstairs). Because the treadmill is nearly completely assembled when it arrives in its box, you cannot easily break it down into lighter parts. Therefore, my husband and I had to carry up steep stairs a 235 lb. rather unwieldy box with the treadmill in it. (It was easier to carry it in its box then taking it out and carrying it.) If you are not strong, and you need to move the treadmill up or down stairs, get some help.
2. I do not love the fact that in order to save data, you must run one of the set courses. Yes, you can change speed, and incline, but it can be a bit of a process if all you want to do is run at a constant speed. (According to the manual, you cannot save your data if all you are doing is pushing “quick start” while not having first pushed “profile” and chosen a user and course.)
However, even with these two issues, I am very glad I got this treadmill. I think the price is right for what you get!

This Schwinn/Nautilus treadmill comes with many programs and features that make it suitable for people with a variety of fitness goals and needs. It has a nice surface to jog on that reduces stress on your joints and it can be set using built-in programs or with user-defined settings for speed/intensity and length of workout. The treadmill can fold up to save space when it’s not being used, though like any treadmill it’s heavy and not easy to move around. This treadmill is somewhat pricey (Amazon does offer it currently at about 50% below retail list price, which brings it in range of affordability for more buyers), but for good quality and having a workout that is safe and best suited to your fitness program it’s worth spending more to get what really meets your needs. Schwinn has done a great job with this model, and assuming this treadmill stays durable and has a long life I would have to say it’s an excellent option for anyone looking to own a treadmill that will support their fitness pursuits.
