LIVESTRONG Fitness Treadmills - Factory Direct The Buzz
The Livestrong T1X treadmill has a 2-ply commercial grade belt and a 20" x 60" running area on a maintenance-free Ultimate™ hard-wax reversible 1" deck that will last up to 25,000 miles. The AC drive system is powered by a Matrix 3.0 hp AC Dynamic Response motor and controller that continuously monitors the user’s foot falls and adjusts automatically to ensure a perfect stride at all speeds. This treadmill requires a NEMA outlet that should be installed by a licensed electrician.
Other features include a low 7.5" deck step-up height, a 700-lb elevation motor that lifts the deck up to 15%, a 350-lb maximum user weight capacity, on-the-fly program changes, and contact HR sensors on the handrails as well as telemetric HR receiver capability. What We SayAt $5,195, the Livestrong T1X is the company’s top-of-the-line model for use in a private home or light commercial (office or corporate) gym setting. Despite having a powerful AC motor and advanced deck configuration, the console is simplistic and very limited, not what you would hope for in a machine that costs this much. Since there are no customer reviews on the Livestrong T1X treadmill yet, you will have to take it on faith that this is a durable machine, although the 5-year drive motor warranty and 3-year parts warranty are short compared to what other companies offer. If you are going to spend $5K on a home treadmill, get a proven model such as a LifeFitness Club Series, Cybex, or Precor commercial treadmill.
