Proform 380 CS Treadmill

This is a cheaper model treadmill. However, although the purchaser wante dto save on the initial purchase price they were more than happy with the features that the Proform 380 CS treadmill provided.

For example you get a heart rate monitor built into the treadmill. The motor is powerful enough to power the runnning belt to 10mph which is more than enough for the reviewer. The running deck even raises to 10% on the incline which is great to increase your work rate. This impressed this treadmill reviwer. Another feature you get is inbuilt speakers so you can train to your favourite music after you click in your ipod. The final feature mentioned was that fold away deck, so it is easy to store.

I checked out the feature of the Proform 380 CS treadmill and noted that it comes with an extra padded running deck helping aborb the impact of your running and protect your legs. Nice. The warranty is 5 years for the frame and 3 months for parts and labor.

In this treadmill review Proform 380 CS Treadmill was give a full 10 stars.

2nd review of the Proform 380 CS Treadmill

This reviwer was looking for a treadmill that could accommodate heavy people and was impressed to find that it can handle people up to 250 pounds and it has a decent 2.25 horse power motor. Another feature that impressed this reviwer was the 6 preset workouts that you can choose from.

Lifespan Fitness 2000 HRC Treadmill

The Lifefitenss 2000 HRC treadmill reviewed many favorable reviews. The most popular features noted was that the running deck be set with a decline so you can run downhill, as well as uphill. You need to look far and wide to find a treadmill that offers that benefit.

The frame is reported to be very sturdy. A number of reviews stated that the motor cover at the front is not required as it is housed underneath, which they loved as they didn’t kick the housing at the front, especially when you are going slow and holding the bars meaning you are further forward than if you are running.

Although it is compact it is relatively heavy, but its design allows you to easily fold and unfold, which means you can get it out of the way easily.

Other features that reviewers commented on were the ease of changing the incline and speed settings. Overall the review comments about the Lifespan Fitness Treadmill were very positive and users seemed very happy with their purchase.

Schwinn 840 Treadmill

I found a number of reviews of the Schwinn 840 treadmill.

The first review of the schwinn 840 treadmill was very positive. They said that when the treadmill was delivered, even though it was relatively heavy, it was also fairly simple to assemble. All the tools you need are provided. Instructions were good. The console came in three sections, but was easy to put together.

The reviewer of the schwinn 840 treadmill said that it was very quite to use. They also felt very safe running on the treadmill because of the solid construction. Even though the frame was solid, they found it easy to fold up and move for storage. They were impressed with the safety key that will allow the treadmill to stop if you get into trouble. The only problem they found was that the heart rate monitor only worked if you hold the treadmill handle, which is the cheaper version of heart rate monitors. The more advanced heart rate monitors used by treadmill manufactures used a belt and watch set up.

Another reviewer of the schwinn 840 treadmill

Said they loved the fact that when it turns up, it is pretty much assembled. There are only a few parts such as the console and arms of the treadmill that need to be attached. They loved that they could program their own workout programs, like treadmills you see at a gym, but it doesnt have the price tag of those treadmills. The display console also provides so much information.

They also were very impressed with the way to schwinn 840 treadmill folds up for easy storage. They had nothing negative to say.

I came across many other reviews of the schwinn 840 treadmill. They were all relatively positive. They all believed that they got value for money.
