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.

Total Costumer Reviews:(8)
I purchased this treadmill since I had canceled my gym membership and it was too cold to walk much outdoors. I really do love it. I travel extensively and I use a lot of hotel treadmills and ones at gyms and this is just as good as any of them. Very stable and no slippage of the belt (yet.) I also purchased the mat (on wood floors) and the spray for the belt at the same time. My only complaint is the heart monitor. I don’t think it is accurate. I know enough about using them at other locations to know just about what my heart rate usually is and it is MUCH lower on this readout. Since I seldom use that it is a small thing.
This weighs a bunch so be ready for help moving it to the room you need it in.
SO FAR, been using it religiously…hope that continues. Will post an update if I have any problems.

I was looking for treadmill that has plenty of horse power and has a large enough running area for around a thousand dollars and so I took a chance on this lesser known or sold Schwinn brand gym equipment. If I am not mistaken this is very close in specs to the Bowflex Series 7 Treadmill”same company/maker”, at the time was two hundred more than the 860. I thought I would go to Local sports store “after the fact”. Compared to the six or seven treadmills they sell. There was no comparison to their most expensive treadmill. I have been using it 2-3 times every day for 4 weeks all I can say is, it’s quiet, strong and very smooth walking or running. You may want to purchase LifeSpan Fitness 100% Silicone Treadmill Belt Lubricant. I did noticed the belt was not well lubricated when it arrived or it had dried and dissipated. My buddy who works as a trainer at our local rec-center thought it was a great for a home machine as well.
I would have given it five stars except “Its not perfect”
The only thing that bothers me is the programming a course to run, seems very redundant to customize and limited every time you want to run. I would have been willing to pay extra for the ability to save this info to a memory or a flash drive like some higher end models.
As for the rear belt guard that others are leaving off due to (noise) rubbing of the belt. It is poorly designed but does work fine if installed properly. It is adjustable so it doesn’t touch the belt.
You may need help moving this thing, its heavy (250 pounds plus). My treadmill was delivered about one week after ordered without issues. The delivery guy took it off the truck and with a palette jack moved it from the truck to inside the garage. I made the mistake of cutting the straps around the box thinking maybe I could move it in pieces. That made it impossible to move by myself because it’s folded, partially assembled and couldn’t be disassembled without getting into the wiring harness etc. If I had left the box alone I think I could have man handled it up the stares and in the house with out bothering my neighbors.

Needless to say, anytime you spend $1100 on anything it isn’t a snap decision. Me and my wife have one child and a baby on the way. So I deliberated long and hard before making this purchase.
I’ve tried to go cheap on the treadmills. A $200 Walmart special lasted about a month before the warranty ran out and they were no long to send out replacement parts. So this time no chances were to be taken. There was a few objectives in mind before this purchase 1) Warranty – I knew that using the treadmill was a long term proposition and I needed something that was going to last more than a couple of months. I’m trying to lose 40lbs not 5lbs. 2) Sturdy construction – Anything that is going to last a long time with somebody jumping on it everyday some times twice a day, flimsy just wasn’t going to cut it. This thing ways 250lbs out of the box. 3) Heart rate monitor – I’m not a believer in making running into some kind of chore where you track your heart rate down to the second and make sure your at your target heart rate. But this machine has a very nice one and that’s a plus. 4) Nice Logo – Schwinn has a nice logo(I’m kidding).
The review.
I takes longer to get out of the box than assemble. Total time 20min for both. Super quiet – my wife can’t here this machine on upstairs when I’m in the basement(we live in a single story ranch. Very sturdy construction.
Beautiful multi color display and fan. Creates a nice little breeze.
Only a single Con – It was missing a single bolt that holds the frame together. Customer service shipped it out in short order.
I love this Mill!!!

This treadmill is really easy to put together, I did it all buy myself, I only suggest you put it together in the spot you want it. Is very easy to use and is not noisy. I get a good workout on this treadmill more so then power walking. I highly suggest from a beginners point of view.

This treadmill exceeds expectations. Only using it now for about a month, but it was quite easy to assemble and get going. Seems to be well worth the money and I am quite happy with purchase. Now all I need is the motivation to get up to 3-5 miles per day which may be a while off, but it will be easy on this fine machine. It seems to be as good a quality as the ones I used at the local gym.
