LifeSpan Fitness TR100 Compact Treadmill

After WAY too much research for a treadmill that would best suit our lifestyle and what we hoped to accomplish, we decided to purchase the LifeSpan TR100 treadmill. We have been meaning to get back into a cardio regimen to support a healthier lifestyle and aimed to get something simple. We are not marathon runners, nor are we training for any type of athletic competition. We are starved for time and have become a little to sedentary, and we both came to the conclusion that we should keep up with a good walking routine for our health. We did not need all the bells and whistles that other treadmills come equipped with. This machine has everything we need and nothing we do not. It counts your calories burned and continuous heart rate throughout. Plus, the console uses a bright blue screen, which is very easy to read and the program display is VERY nice to see how far along you are in your program.

There is virtually no assembly required. All we had to do was take it out of the packaging and unfold it, simple as that. The unit is about 30 inches wide, and only 11 inches in height when folded up. We set it up in our bedroom, so there is no excuse for skipping a workout in the morning or the evening. It is so space friendly. We keep it set up unless we have company or other things going on, so we simply fold it up and place it under our bed. The unit is heavier than we both expected, but the wheel mounted frame makes it easy to slide and assemble. While this unit is very quiet, largely due to the fact that we just speed walk on it, the stability of the machine was the biggest surprise as the console does not shake like other treadmills we tested at Sears. We are very happy with our purchase and it is serving us well.

I bought this for my wife to use in our den area and wanted a treadmill that she could move out of the way when it is not being used. This was the MAJOR feature for us as my wife has a few kids that she watches during the day and we did not want the treadmill out for the kids to play around. It works out great for us as we have the bi-fold doors in the den where we have our washer and dryer and it is VERY easy to fold, move and then store.

CEVA was the company that delivered the treadmill. I was not home so they put the treadmill in the garage for my wife and I took the treadmill down on a hand truck when I got home. We have a split level so only have the flight down to the den area. if you are going up stairs or more than one flight you will need another person to help. Assembly was the best part...there was none as the treadmill is fully assembled inside the box. I cut the back of the box out and just wheeled the treadmill out of the box and plugged it in.

My wife loves the fact that she can walk at home now in the mornings, watch the Today Show and get here exercise in before the kids arrive. She is very happy which means i am very happy. So far it seems to be a very good value and met our needs of being able to store in the closet.

I used my new machine for the first time yesterday and was very happy with it. I had owned a very complex machine for 15 years and the simplicity of this one is a welcomed change.

It is easy to fold up and put away. I have not tried to get it under a bed. Not sure it is really going to fit but it''s easy to tuck into a corner.

I really like that all the important stats are right in front of me all the time. No buttons to move from calories to mileage to pulse...it''s all there in front of me as I walk. I even did a light run and it was great.

I bought this treadmill at Costco, actually, but wanted to review it here to warn others who might be intending to use it like I use mine. I use mine while working and walk 2 mph for 3 hours a day on it (in 1-hour increments with at least an hour in between). I had it about a month when it began to smoke. Turned out the drive belt melted and I had to have it serviced. At that point, I began to walk in only half-hour increments because I didn''t want it to overheat again. After a few days of that, I began smelling the burning smell AGAIN, and decided to walk in 15-minute increments. This is seriously cramping my work style, having to get up and walk then sit down for 15 minutes, then walk for 15, etc. At this point, I am wondering if I shouldn''t just use it at a normal 1-hour increment and if it burns out again, return it to Costco.

So be warned, if you want to use it for half an hour of walking, go for it. It''s a great treadmill for something like that. If you intend to do much more, I''d stear clear. (The serviceman told me he thought it wasn''t really sturdy enough to run on, not that I wanted to.)

I am enjoying my treadmill very much. I use it every day and have no excuses ,such as hot, cold or rainy weather to prevent me from exercising. I would like folding to be a bit easier since the machine is not as lite weighted as I believed it would be. Overall, an excellent purchase on my part.
