Star Trac Treadmills - Popular With Health Clubs

Star Trac Treadmill Reviews

Star Trac treadmills are the creation of the inventors of the Lifecycle stationary bike brand. Since their first introduction of a commercial treadmill back in 1987, Star Trac has built a solid reputation as a supplier of fitness equipment. You can find Star Tracs as a value alternative in fitness clubs and they are becoming popular in home gyms as well.

Gadget Lovers Fall for Star Trac

One of the main ideas behind Star Trac treadmills is that electronics are the way of the fitness future. Star Trac wants users to focus on their progress when on the treadmill, rather than the actual treadmill itself. This company philosophy translates into a treadmill with not exactly top-of-the-line parts but an outstanding electronics package.

The electronics of Star Trac equipment is tremendous, offering everything from a digital scale that can monitor your progress and calorie burn accurately. The horsepower offered on their most expensive of these treadmills is awesome (5.0 HP!), but when you’re just working out at home, this seems a bit superfluous and like a waste of a motor.

Getting Replacement Parts is Not a Problem

Since we’re a little concerned about the parts quality of these treadmills, there’s no denying that Star Trac’s popularity with clubs is going to guarantee that you’ll be able to get parts and labor for years to come – and that’s reassuring considering the so-so parts used in many Star Trac models.

In our opinion, Star Trac treadmills are a bit too pricey for the average home fitness enthusiast. Sure, the electronics are fancy and the parts are covered by a decent warranty, but if vital components are lacking quality, why pay a premium price for a Star Trac? For your money, you can find many other treadmill brands that will cost you less, but give you the peace of mind of knowing you have bought a machine that will last past the warranty expiration date.
