Folding Treadmill

I am a professional runner in the past, half marathon, marathon, and also at any distance shorter. I have never stopped running and have been in good shape all my life. I only run on the street every day for 8 miles. But now in New York it is constantly snowing, and it is very slippery, dirty and dangerous to cross the streets at times. I had to buy this treadmill to be able to run and not be affected by the weather. Great professional track !! Very solid, durable, stylish, large, more than enough for a full, quality run. Many programs, enough speeds and inclines. I have been choosing a treadmill on Amazon for a long time, and chose the XTERRA Fitness TR300 Folding Treadmill. I am very glad that I bought it, after a long search. Delivered very quickly, assembly is very simple, my husband and son assembled it in 30 minutes. Works perfectly, quietly, smoothly. A very high quality product, for a normal, not overcharged price. I definitely recommend it for anyone who wants to run or walk any day and time, and not depend on weather conditions.

First, definitely get someone to help while assembling, you'll need an extra hand to hold parts in place while you bolt them together. Second, use your own allen wrench and 13mm wrench. The ones that come with it are pretty cheesy. Assembly only took me and my wife about an hour. Pretty simple and straightforward. The cables all have different plug types so you cannot connect anything incorrectly. Once assembled the calibration test ran fine. As for use, it's quiet, quiet enough that I can watch TV while using it. The belt is comfortable to walk on, changing from one to another speed is nice and smooth. The display is easy to read and controls are very nicely laid out. Folding up is easy as well, just lift up on the back end of the unit and it easily raises and locks into place. Taking it down is even easier, release the catch and it lowers itself. This is the first treadmill I've ever owned and I think we'll get great use out of it. Being in Houston, going outside for a walk is pretty miserable most of the year so it will be nice to walk inside.

Are you looking for a decent treadmill that you don't want to bankrupt you? This one just may be it. My wife and I were looking for a decent treadmill to help prepare for some future marathons during the summer months and when we can't run outside due to having small children at home. This was a god send. I thoroughly researched buying a treadmill before pulling the trigger and this one checked most of the boxes which was surprising under $1000. I'll make a list of what I was looking for. Longer/wider belt for running. - This belt is 20" x 60" - Plenty of room to run even for tall runners. Strong motor that won't break the bank. - The motor on this treadmill is 3 CHP which under $1000 is nothing short of amazing. Extra cushioned deck - This deck has a few bumpers that help with shock absorption. This helps for both your floors and for your news and for women runners the chest region. My wife absolutely needed it because she is breastfeeding right now. Quiet - It certainly isn't silent but it hasn't woken the baby yet. Incline - According to the manufacturer it can go to 0-15%, this is someone disputed, but for our purposes its great. Speed - Up to 12 MPH which goes back to the 2 CHP motor. When I was researching buying a treadmill, many buying guides advised not spending below $1500 on a treadmill because it would lack quality, a strong motor, long enough belt, etc. However, this treadmill was below $1000 and not only did it check the boxes, but it has passed with flying colors. A shout out to the manufacturers support team too - On arrival the safety key was broken, they shipped one out to us right away, no questions asked. Now this review isn't all good. It was a pain in the butt to put together and weights almost 300 pounds. I would recommend paying extra to have them delivery it to room of choice and if you aren't handy then I would pay for assembly. All in all though, this is a great treadmill for the money and I would recommend it for anyone looking for purchase a treadmill on a budget.

Love the machine! Great value! My machine came with a shredded drive belt. We assembled it ourselves, but it was apparent someone had returned the unit because of the drive belt (there was oil on the hand holds, the plastic jacket over the drive belt was torn from its securing screws, and as soon as we started the machine, there was a flopping noise). We resolved the drive belt replacement with a simple phone call, however, it was very disappointing to receive such a large object with an avoidable issue. As for the treadmill, it is sturdy, versatile, well priced, moveable, and sized right. Despite our issues with the drive belt, we were able to use the machine safely while awaiting repair. I’ve never written a review before, but have had such a good experience with the machine, I wanted to share that with other buyers. FYI - it has taken an entire month to resolve the shredded drive belt.
