LifeSpan Fitness TR200 Fold-N-Stor Compact Treadmill Review
I just received my LifeSpan TR200 treadmill last night and I have to say that I am extremely impressed with it! I actually ordered mine directly from the manufacturer. They not only gave me free shipping and no tax, but knocked the price down to 9!!! It was very easy placing an order with them and I found their sales rep (Tommy) to be very competent. He told me that the treadmill would leave the warehouse that same day and I would probably receive it the following Wednesday. He was right! I was very happy that the shipping company (R&L) called to confirm the delivery date and they held firm to it (and I live in a very rural area -- the closest hub is 2.5 hours away). Previously, I had a horrible experience with purchasing a Horizon T101 treadmill. The shipping company (ABF) canceled about 4 times before finally delivering the treadmill and it arrived heavily damaged. Anyway, I received my LifeSpan treadmill in absolute pristine condition. PCE Fitness did a great job of adequately packing the treadmill with plenty of styrofoam. There wasn't a scratch, ding, dent, or any broken pieces!
My initial impression of the treadmill is nothing short of spectacular. I'm amazed at how quiet it runs. Prior to purchasing the treadmill, I was really concerned about the belt not being wide enough. However, I got on it and didn't have any problems with the belt width whatsoever (I'm 5'7, 145 lbs). My boyfriend even got on it and was able to manage just fine -- and he's 6'2, 200 lbs! The machine feels sturdy and I'm able to easily jog on it.
On the negative side, the incline does not go very high and the speakers are not remarkable. They don't have much bass and tend to crack and pop at the highest level. But the audio input feature is really cool and my iPod sounds great through it. Also, the console shakes a little bit when I walk or jog, but it's not a big deal and you can tighten the blue caps on the bottom as tight as possible to minimize the shaking.
Overall, I'm really impressed with the quality of the treadmill. It not only looks like it's a quality product, but it operates like a quality product -- smooth, quiet, and durable. At first, I was a little skeptical of this treadmill because when I initially came across it online, I thought it looked a little chintzy. I've learned to not be fooled by its simple appearance. Now, I think of it as a completely unique design like nothing else out there. If you live in a small space or just want something that doesn't weigh a ton, get this treadmill. It's stable enough to be a solid contender but not so heavy as to break your back when moving it around. Believe me, it's plenty big; but it's not so overwhelming that it's going to take up as much space as a 200-300 lbs treadmill. You'll love it!
I'll append my review after I've used the treadmill for awhile, and if any problems should develop. But I have a good feeling about this one -- I think it's a keeper!!!
Thanks to all the reviewers who posted comments on this treadmill. Your input was all I had to go on because I purchased this treadmill sight unseen. Thanks for helping me make this decision!!!
