this Bowflex Treadmill Review

This Bowflex treadmill review covers the Bowflex 3, 5 and 7 series treadmills. Price range for these machines is about $1000-1500. This puts the treadmills in the mid price range category. The 3 series machine is best suited for walking and occasional jogging. The 5 and 7 series treadmills have a stronger motor and are more suited for jogging and running.



The treadmills are sleek and attractive. They fold up to save space. Built in wheels help move the machines around.

1. Check the space you have available. A folding treadmill can save about 6 square feet.
2. Consider how often you will use the machine. If you will be a heavy user and run than a mid range treadmill like the Bowflex treadmills would be better suited.
3. Review the features offered. Pre programmed workouts make the exercise less boring.
4. A heart rate monitor, easy to read displays and handles are convenient.
5. If you run than a belt that is 17-18 inches wide and 50 inches long would be better.
6. Warranty should be at least 3 years for the motor and 1 year for labor.
