Bowflex TreadClimber 5500 - Decision to Buy in Progress by: Emmanuel (Bowie, MD)
Folks,
These reviews and evaluations are very serious, pathetic and of great concern. I doff my hat for all your frustration - anyone whose excitement has been killed by dysfunctional systems will very much understand what you guys and gals have gone through with these fitness machines.
Due to accident and therapuetic sessions I am undergoing, I am expediting my decision to acquire one of these machines - especially the TC5500 such that at the end of my therapy sessions, I will continue on my healing process with the exercise machine. But with what I have read here, I am confused as to what to buy. Please, your honest advice and equipment suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Even without reading these reviews, I had already developed some uncomfortability with the choice of machine - the Bowflex machines, because, in my region or elsewhere, I cannot see the Bowflex products in stores and gyms to test-exercise before buying it. Testing equipment of such astronomical cost before buying it is critical as a purchasing determinant factor.
