Treadmills

I am about to purchase a treadmill and have been looking through reviews. So far I have my eye on models from Sole or Spirit, and Life Fitness.

Anyone have these brands? Thoughts or opinions about them? Or suggestions/recommendations for other brands?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks.

After doing some research, and figuring out what specs I wanted, I went with a Pro-Form XP 550. It's working great for us, and the grade of up to 10% was important. :)

Oh I'm looking too, we use to have one but it died and I never replaced it. I've decided to because both my daughter and I used it and... this winter I gained 10 lbs (I've already lost 4). I don't have any trouble maintaining my weight during good weather, I'm a fantastic walker but in our wet, cold winters I just don't have the get up and go to walk as much (not to mention its totally dark once i get out of work).

So I'd love to hear more feed back on this. I too want one that inclines - at the press of a button.

What's your budget? For a modest budget, the Nordic Track's are good. If you can afford it, Precor's are the best, or the Bowflex treadclimber. I have a Proform and it works OK and has the 10% incline, but it's REALLY loud which is a total pain, but they might not all be like that.

Mine's somewhat loud, but not too loud. I have a flat panel monitor mounted to the wall in front of it, hooked up to a gaming system (an old XBOX at the moment) with a speaker system and a converter, so I can play video games if I'm walking or watch DVDs if I'm running, and I've never had a problem hearing things, even at 7mph (which is my fastest sustained run). We did go in to the store and test them out, first, to listen to them. There were quieter ones, but they were more expensive than we were willing to pay, so it was a tradeoff.

Mostly, I highly recommend the gaming system setup if you expect to be doing any walking. ;)

Thanks everyone for the feedback.

I am looking to spend probably $1000+, it's a big purchase so I am doing a lot of research.

I found this site that has been helpful:

Open Original Shared Link

The reason Sole Fitness treadmills are in the lead for me so far is their warranties, which no other company seems to compare, I had a Nordic Track before that had maintenance issues and the company was a pain to deal with to get it fixed.

Spec wise many different companies have models that are similar.

In general, you need a solid (read: more expensive) treadmill if you will run on it and have it last a few years. The low end, cheaper ones burn out pretty quick, or develop issues.

That's what I am finding to be true with my research.

Thanks for your link, I'll check that out too.

I've been looking at the Bowflex tread climber, has anyone used one? What is the "action" like on it?

I haven't personally used it, but my best friend's husband is a trainer and he uses it all the time. He LOVES it!! It's always being used at the gym so it's difficult to get a turn!! If you want tot try it out, find a mainstream gym in your area that has one and see if you can get a day pass to try out their gym (but really just the machine ;)

I just saw the commercial for that on tv, looks like you would get a good workout with it.

I've checked around at the different stores in my area and there are actually a lot of good deals going around now on treadmills (and other large fitness equipment items), they are really hurting with the economy and the prices have been slashed by a several hundreds of dollars.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
