I decided to cancel my gym membership and create my own little home gym in a guest bedroom. Getting my cardio in by walking around the neighborhood is fine, but I needed something that took a little less effort for me to "get up and go" and wasn't so hard on the joints. I didn't want to invest a fortune in a fancy treadmill with all the bells and whistles, but rather I just needed something that allowed me to get my heart rate up.

This treadmill has totally surprised me! Two years later and it still functions perfectly! The motor still sounds as new as the day I assembled it, the tread still moves smoothly, and all the buttons and programs still work flawlessly.

Let me start by saying I don't normally write reviews, but in this case I am making an exception for a couple reasons. First, I must say I was very nervous about buying a product like this online without seeing it in person. But no issue here. After I took it out of the box I was pleasantly surprised. I am not a "handy" person at all, but the assembly was a cool. I was running on the treadmill in less than 30 minutes after receiving it. Both my wife and I use the treadmill daily and love it!! It is built solid, and the programs provide us with a different workout each time, helping to eliminate boredom. Perfect size because it is so compact.
