I went from a Burton Motion as my starter board and quickly found myself outriding it. I upgraded to a Chorus at the start of my second season and found it doing wonders for me. The board is not too stiff, responsive, and will take you wherever you have the balls to go. Mississauga truck repair company

After a few weeks I noticed my hips and knees started to hurt. On my doctor's recommendation I returned it. They were nice enough to give me my money back.

This treadmill is a decent unit made for walkers. It shakes a little too much and is very noisey (very hard to hear the TV or listen to music). The first batch of motors have been problematic. The cushioning on this unit is an absolute joke. The more abs rings that you put in, the less it bounces. BOUNCES!!! this is an absolute no no. As a runner I would not want any bounce, only shock dissipation. There is no unit of measure for the rings ; ie. each ring represents 10% less bounce. Stick to a Bodyguard with Sorbothane shock dissipation system. Moreover, a much more reliable warranty and overall treadmill with 5 yrs motor, 3 years parts and an impressive 3 years labour warranty.

Life fitness makes good club treadmills but their home units are not what they are known for.

Bodyguard Magellan. A little more money, a lot more treadmill.

I recently purchased a Life Fitness T3i treadmill, and I am very happy with it. I did alot of research on the net and at treadmill stores prior to purchasing this unit, and for the money, I think the T3i is the best in it's class. The T5i has a 4 inch longer track (58 inches) and a slightly larger motor, 2.7 instead of the 2.3 continuous duty HP on the T3i.The programs and electronics far exceed what you get on treadmills costing much more. The flexing deck has a great feel to it, and if a firmer feel is wanted, additional shock absorbers can be added. I tried the Bodyguard line of treadmills, but they have a very hard feel, and the console is plastic and looks cheap. The Pacemaster, which was just a little cheaper, doesn't even come close to the over all feel of the T3i. When I get on the T3i I feel like running. I can run full out at 8 or 9 miles/hr, without wondering if the treadmill can take it. Very solid feel, even at elevated heights. I used Life Fitness treadmills at gyms in the past, and the T3i has the same feel of the commercial models. It isn't as quiet as the TRUE 500 HRC, but no waxing is required, as is required with the TRUE. TRUE uses a cotton back belt which is quiet, but the deck needs regular waxing. The Life Fitness belt has a nylon backing, which lasts longer and doesn't require any waxing of the deck. You don't see many reviews of the T3i, (as it is a new model) but I think when Runner's World gets around to doing another review of the top treadmills, the T3i (or T5i) will be at the top for overall value and performance. The customer service also appears to be quite responsive. I emailed TRUE with some questions and it took almost a month to get a response (is that customer service??) I would hate to have been waiting that long to get a replacement part. If you are in the market for a higher end quality treadmill, do yourself a favour and have a look at the new Life Fitness treadmills.
