What We Say

Buying a remanufactured treadmill is one of the best-kept secrets on the treadmill market as the machine is literally disassembled and rebuilt, recalibrated, and new wear parts installed by a certified technician.

They are mechanically and electronically sound so that the machine performs as good as new. If you want a quiet, smooth treadmill with “club feel” from the world’s best-selling commercial treadmill maker, you will enjoy the Star Trac Pro 4500 treadmill.
