The R 5.80 also offers support for 12 iFit workouts. Each iFit workout is designed by a certified personal trainer, with a variety of routines to help you lose weight, feel great, and improve your overall performance in just eight weeks. Once activated, the iFit workouts not only offer customized, goal-specific results, but also automatically control the speed and incline of your treadmill as you progress, helping you reach your fitness potential.

Best of all, the treadmill generates minimal impact on your joints thanks to its Durasoft adjustable cushion deck. The Durasoft surface helps absorb impact, putting less stress on your knees and ankles and producing a more enjoyable, safer exercise session.

The treadmill carries the following warranties: lifetime on the frame, 25 years on the motor, and one year on parts and 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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy Reebok, July 26, 2011

By 

Geremy Ferguson - See all my reviews

This review is from: Reebok R 5.80 Treadmill (Sports)

Update:
10/12/2011
A representative from Costco contacted us and after one month and much hassle, on the Costco rep's part with ICON Fitness, the treadmill was returned and refunded. Costco has great customer service but ICON, even in dealing with its partners, has awful customer service. Writing letters and not being willing to accept shoddy products and service worked in this case.

Update:
The new motor control did not work. From the first try after installment the treadmill did the same things. I tried calling the tech's number on 8/31 and 9/1. No reply. The letter that I had mailed to ICON I had also sent the letter to the Better Business Bureaus in Louisiana and Utah. The LA BBB was lacking in reading comprehension and thought the complaint was against Costco, though it clearly stated it was against ICON, and forwarded my letter to the BBB in Washington. On 9/1 I received a call from a person at Costco headquarters in Washington. I explained that the complaint was not against Costco at all. She said she'd call ICON right away and get them to deal with my treadmill. Shortly after we hung up a different person from ICON called me back. After going through the same diagnostic checks as before she said they'd send a new console panel out. Then she tersely told me that this was the last thing they would do for this treadmill. The new console panel arrived on 9/8 and was installed on 9/11. I used it on 9/12 and it still doesn't work properly. The treadmill sped up suddenly and then cycled through different speeds like 0.0, 0.3, etc. I am beyond frustrated at this point.

Update:
The part that the ICON tech sent out arrived on 8/15 and is now replaced in my treadmill today, 8/21. He has not called to check on it but I will test out how it works for a while. Hopefully this is the end of the problem.

Update: A week ago (7/28/2011)I wrote a letter and sent it out to ICON and others. Today (8/8/2011) I got a call from a tech at ICON who walked me through checking the panel and determined the part that may be needed, motor controller. He's sending out the part ASAP and will check back with me next week. He was very nice and knowledgeable. I really hope this part fixes the treadmill. Writing letters helps. Updates to come.

I have had my S9.80 Reebok folding treadmill for just 19 months. It was used for an average of 30 min, 3 days a week. I had it in the same spot in the living room from day one. When it was plugged in it was on a surge protector. I never sweat on or had any liquids near the console. Last week it started speeding up randomly while showing a speed of 0, then the buttons wouldn't work from time to time and just beeped. Today, after one week of that the console would come on but no longer respond. The manufacturer, after 4 unanswered emails and being on hold for 10 min on the phone, Icon Fitness would take no responsibility for a faulty product. They wanted me to pay $482 for a new console after already paying $700 just 19 months ago! A company should make a product that lasts and take responsibility for it, esp. when a customer has taken extremely good care of a product and it is no fault of the customer's.

1.0 out of 5 stars Reebok Equipment Customer Service, January 13, 2011

By 

John J - See all my reviews

This review is from: Reebok R 5.80 Treadmill (Sports)

I purchased a Reebok R 5.80 treadmill from Costco in 2008. After I received the treadmill within two week the console quit working. Reebok sent another console and was installed by a service Rep.. Due to medical reason, I did not use the treadmill much in 2008 and not at all until the middle of 2010. the treadmill does not have more then 200 hours on it and console quite working again. I called customer service and advised them of my problem, which they said there was nothing they could do because the treadmill was out of warranty and if I wanted a new console I would have pay $400.00. I will never recommend any Reebok product to anyone. Their customer service is less the friendly.
