Amazon.com Product Description

BodyCraft's top-of-the-line unit, the 1180 light commercial folding treadmill will keep you feeling fit even as the weather outside turns dismal. The 1180 is distinguished by a 3-horsepower, continuous-duty motor that delivers a smooth, challenging workout, along with a 58-by-20-inch running surface with eight kinetic energy dampers to cushion the knees and joints. Users also have their choice of 15 preset, three custom, and three heart-rate-controlled (HRC) programs, depending on their skill and preference levels. The HRC programs are particularly challenging, as the treadmill will continually change its resistance during your workout to keep you at your preferred heart rate. As an alternative, users can adjust the treadmill manually via the 23 quick key buttons, with a speed range of 0.5 to 12 miles per hour and a maximum incline of 12 percent.

Want feedback on your workout? Turn to the built-in console, with a five-window LED display and backlit LCD dot matrix window that tracks your speed, time, distance, incline, pulse, pace, elevation gained, and calories burned. Best of all, the treadmill folds into a compact footprint when your workout is done, making storage and transport easy. Other details include hand-grip sensors that read your heart rate, an optional chest strap, a built-in cooling fan that helps moderate your temperature, a two-ply (3.3 mm) running belt, a soft drop lowering system, a weight capacity of 400 pounds, and an audio input for connecting an MP3 player or iPod to the built-in speakers. The treadmill measures 35.5 by 61.5 by 78.25 inches (W x H x D) when open, weighs 271 pounds, and carries the following residential warranties: lifetime on the frame, 40 years on the motor, five years on the parts, and two years on labor.

About Treadmills
Walking is still considered one of the most beneficial cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels. As a fundamental form of aerobic training, walking has numerous physical benefits for the heart, lungs, and circulatory system, while also increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories. Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all weather conditions in the comfort and safety of your own home.

From beginners just starting an exercise regimen to advanced athletes looking to maintain their fitness level, anyone interested in getting and staying in shape can benefit greatly from regular use of a treadmill. Treadmills allow you to determine the pace, distance, and complexity of the workout based on your needs, all while watching television, talking on the telephone, or reading a magazine. Much easier on sensitive joints like the knees and hips, treadmill walking and running surfaces are typically long, padded platforms that allow ample room for a long stride and comfortable, low-impact walk or jog without the harsh contact of a concrete surface.

While many different types, styles, and price ranges of treadmills exist, many of them offer unique features like a fold-up design for easy storage, an electronic display monitor showing speed, distance, workout time, incline level, and burned calories, and EKG grip pulses to monitor the heart rate while exercising. Regardless of the simple to complex features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting beneficial cardiovascular results without a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.

This review is from: BodyCraft 1180 Light Commercial Folding Treadmill (Sports)

Came in 1 large box on two pallets. Unpackaging and assembly took about an hour. A couple of the bolts were loose.

Pros: Strong motor, durable belt gives lots of confidence it will work for a long time, easy to lube, folds up, has wheels for moving short distances. Three in my family have been using lightly for about 10 months. Fan works OK. (Haven't used speakers so no comment there).

Cons: Very heavy (to move to another room or fold up), Sticker on back warns to unplug immediately after use but gives no reason, heart monitor built into handle is too sporatic to be useful (manual actually says to get off belt to use it), included Polar chest strap heart monitor which worked GREAT, but was dead after 2 uses with no opening to replace batteries (replacement of whole strap is expensive), display just says "?" with no explanation in manual that heart monitor wasn't working, display very primitive (as an engineer I've designed better), automatically starts at 0.5mph should start at 2.5mph (paranoidedly slow), belt seems about 5 inches too narrow, if you go to end of belt you feel deck bending and hear odd squeek, bookrest bolts could hold up a house. Built-in programs only last 10 minutes. No way to switch from heart rate mode to manual without turning off and on again. When positioning yourself with respect to where the handles and display console are, your feet will almost clip the front motor plate.
