Reebok Treadmills
I bet you think Reebok Treadmills are made by Reebok, right?
Well wrong, they are actually produced by Icon Fitness.
Reebok treadmills tend to be in the low to mid price range.
Reebok, as we might all know, makes shoes. They have been making shoes
since the late 1800s. It wasn’t until the 1950s
that they were actually marketing their products in America.
Those of us who grew up in the 80s or 90s all know first hand the
popularity of the Reebok Pump.
They started the revolution in the sneaker industry. That is
about the time that Reebok decided to enter the fitness and exercise
business.
Reebok isn’t famous for their treadmills. They are
still well known for their sports apparel. However this
hasn’t stopped them from putting their name on
treadmills. Reebok treadmills exist today in the fitness dept
of your favorite department stores.
Their treadmills are of a lower quality than you would
expect. Maybe it’s their focus on clothing and
shoes that’s compromising the quality of their treadmills.
Reebok treadmills are packed with different features. You can expect
all the cool features that are on some top treadmills to be on your
Reebok. They believe that the more features, the more enjoyable your
run is going to be.
Even though the above strong points are very strong, they have their
share of week points also. Reebok treadmills are not very
durable. Using it everyday will soon grow on it, and it will break down
before you anticipate. This is probably why they are in the low to mid
price range. ($750.00 to $1600.00) They have a below average
warranty.
Most of their models come with a lifetime on the frame. But
only one year on parts and labor. The biggest problem is the
motor, that warranty varies from one model to the next. They
should add a longer warranty period on parts and labor, this action
would render the warranty acceptable.
If you ever bought an Icon machine, you would know that is why they
have a short warranty period on the parts. Icon is known for
low quality parts on a feature packed machine. I guess the
belief here is that most people judge a book by its cover.
Even though Reebok Treadmills are not the best in quality, they make up
for that in features. Some people think that having all the best
features is what matters in fitness. When in reality, having
a machine that will last is the most important aspect when it comes to
treadmills.
Reebok Treadmills are considered low quality, mainly due to their sub
par construction. It is recommended that you get a smooth or
a sole treadmill for a mid-range price.
Their newest model is the 3500c. It’s affordable
and packed with better features than its predecessors. This
treadmill has a 2hp motor and can run at a speed of 12 miles per
hour. It also can check your heart rate. You get all this for
less than $1000.
