The Buzz

UPDATE: The Lifespan Pro 5 is no longer being produced by the company.  Compare all of the new models on sale now to find a similar machine.

This model is sold as a residential treadmill but it is rated for light commercial use (i.e., up to six hours per day). The Lifespan Pro5 has some impressive specs to offer: large 3" front rollers, a 1,000 lbs. max weight incline motor, 1" reversible deck, commercial-grade controller board, integrated cooling fan and cross ventilation in the motor housing to keep components cool under heavy stress.

In addition, its 3.0 hp AC motor provides more power and torque than a standard 3.0 hp DC motor found on most treadmills. Experts who have reviewed the Lifespan Pro5 are blown away by the quality of this machine as well as the beautiful design and quiet, comfortable ride.

Users are thrilled by owning this unit that feels like a treadmill they would find in a health club. Along with the great programming, the Lifespan Pro5 has a huge 22" x 62" belt and speed/incline controls right on the handrails.

Users also like the unique Intelli-Key™ Smart Lighting System. You no longer have to fumble and guess with programming: each console button flashes in blue in the proper sequence to help you start your desired workout program quickly and easily.
