Just What I Needed 
2008-10-05
Rats, now it's $20 cheaper than what I paid. Anyway, I hate exercise, and I know I'll never get my money's worth out of a gym membership. I needed something I could use whenever I felt like it, and this is it. Easy to assemble. Yes, the belt was a little stubborn, and drove me crazy for a couple of days (if your floors are uneven like mine, make sure you put this going up or down hill), but it's OK now. Get the spray silicone at the same time, save yourself running around trying to get it later. A little goes a long way. The belt is a bit noisy, but it's not outrageous...but I hope you don't live over anyone. The mere act of walking on it is kind of noisy, but any treadmill would be like that. I personally think it's a great value; I was never ever going to spend $600 for a motorized treadmill. The digital monitor is absolutely useless, it doesn't work the way the directions say it should. All in all, it works for me.
nice company. subpar product.

the first treadmill that arrived was really beaten up (dented frame, smashed electrics, scratches), so i returned it. the second had a defective (wobbly) front roller which emmitted a deafening sound. i called the company and they were very nice and sent me a replacement. it was, unfortunately, for another machine as it was too big for my model and would never fit in the frame. i tried to get the old roller back on and the directions said it might be difficult, but negleted to say it was IMPOSSIBLE. so, elected to pack it up and send it back. this all took a over month, numerous calls and repacking two 60 lb. treadmills. think twice before ordering this one . . .
Great for the price... 2008-08-10
At first I was worried about this treadmill because it is so inexpensive and I read all the cons re the belt wandering etc. But in the end, the belt does wander a bit but seems to have found it's place and I use this every day and it's been great! With my crazy schedule I cannot always exercise so this nicely fills in those gaps and rainy (or soon snowy) days. Size was crucial as I do not have enough room for a big machine so this is perfect for those with storage issues and I've already decided once I wear this one out I'll get another.
Great Product

I just got this treadmill and I love it. I researched motorized treadmills quite a bit. I wanted a really quality treadmill. I have had a cheaper treadmill before and I realize that for a really good motorized model you need to spend over $1,000 for one that will last. I decided to wait a while to buy once since I didn't have that much money just lying around. Then I happened to find out about manual treadmills, so I did some research on them. I remembered using one years ago in the gym of an apartment complex I lived in. I found out that manual treadmills actually give you a much better workout than a motorized one because you are powering it yourself and you are walking or running on a slight incline. Manual treadmills are much better for toning your legs, butt and hips than a motorized treadmill. I read all of the reviews of various models and finally decided on this one. I got it and put it together very quickly. I walked on it for a few minutes, like the instructions suggest, and found it needed to be slightly adjusted. After I got it adjusted so the belt wouldn't move from side to side I did an actual workout on it. Recently I have been doing the same walking/running workout outside in my neighborhood and also on my brother's motorized treadmill. Doing my usual workout on this treadmill worked me out harder than the other two methods. I really like the monitor that tracks the time, speed, distance and calories and it seems very accurate, other than the calories. Figuring out how many calories you are burning depends on how much you weigh and how much muscle tone you have, so I would not count on the calorie counter for being very accurate. I like the fact that when it's folded up it takes up very little room. It does take a little getting used to compared to walking on the ground or on a motorized treadmill, but once you figure it out it is a great workout. I would highly recommend this treadmill.
Don't waste your time if you're serious about getting in shape. 2008-06-20
First of all, I'd like to thank Amazon for such a good (though a little confusing at first) return policy. I didn't have have to pay return shipping for the 60 pound package, which was nice.
The Good: Sturdy construction. The only real gripe in this area is the tool included to adjust the belt tension strips and ruins after a few turns. I though it was the adjusting screws at first, but it was actually the head of the hex key that stripped.
The Bad: After 30 seconds on the machine, I could tell that I either needed to stop immediately or have back pains for the rest of my life. I don't have a bad back, at least not yet. The problem was the machine wasn't adjustable to my height. On this treadmill, you MUST hold on to the handrails unless you want to fall off. Because I had to hunch over to feel like I wasn't going to lose grip and fly off, I could feel muscles in my back start to tense. And it wasn't a good "oh yeah, feel the burn" kind of tense. Nay, it was the "oh crap I should have listened when they said to lift with my legs" kinds of tense. I'm fairly tall (6'2"), so if you were a tad shorter it might not affect you too much. I'd be careful, though.
I'd recommend a powered treadmill because the design of this machine requires you to keep running so you don't fall as the belt slips under your feet. That's what it feels like to me, anyway. If you're on a tight budget, I'd recommend either mapping out a nice route on Google Earth for a daily jaunt through your neighborhood. Or for those who just REALLY don't want to get out of the house, try looking into an elliptical machine. They start just a little more expensive but I think they're a smarter design. They're basically exercise bikes that you stand up for.

Very Happy with this Treadmill 2008-04-26
I bought this treadmill because I don't have room for a massive, professional size treadmill nor did I want to spend hundreds of dollars. Because of the price I was expecting a very pared down version - just the basics - and that's what you get. It's not difficult to put together and it feels very sturdy. It folds up like a dream (very compactly) and is light enough to move around if you need to. The manual treadmill action takes a little getting used to and you just have to assume that it will take a few tries to get the belt to settle correctly without drifting, but once adjusted properly it seems to stay put. You can really only walk on this treadmill - it's not really designed for running as you have to hold on to keep it going. But this is good. The manual action requires a little more effort (not tons but a little) through the legs and hips and since you have to hold on to keep your body from moving backward (the treadmill is at a slant for the manual action) your arms get a light workout too. After only a few sessions I started noticing real firming in my legs, hips, rear and arms.
My only real complaint is this treadmill is pretty loud. I'm going to try some silicone spray to see if that quiets it down a little. As it is I have to crank up the TV super loud to be able to hear it while I'm working out.
But all and all, the price and quality of this product make it an excellent value. I'm very happy.
Simply simple 2008-04-15
Had a little trouble getting the darn thing, was sent the first time without the hardware, but as usual Amazon handled the whole problem with no problems had the bad one picked up the new one delivered. It calls for two people to put it together but I did it by myself....and I'm a 60+ female. Works very well. I'm very pleased with it, for the money you can't beat it.
Wonderful for the price! 2008-03-11
I've had this treadmill for about 3-4 months now, and wow. It's great, easy to store and move and works well. I use it while watching TV in my bedroom. I've already lost 20lbs! If you don't feel like going to the gym that day, use this manual treadmill instead! It's a great price and a great product. I'm 24 and female and put the treadmill together on my own in about 30 minutes. Very nice product! Highly recommended!
Works great! 2008-02-24
Fast Delivery. Easy set up. Works really well. I thought it'd be a lot quieter then it is, but it's definitely quieter then any of the motored ones.
