Horizon Fitness T90 Treadmill Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Was so looking forward to getting this, was not disappointed with purchase, only drawback was took a long time to put together, and please follow directions not to tighten all the screws until all parts are assembled.Learned the hard way, tighted screws and then proceeded to opposite side and holes did not line up, had to loosen opposite side.Also one of the bolts was too big for the hole, thought of using drill to widen, but then would have lost the threading , so i took apart other side and switched screws, so happened one hole was larger on one side than the other so that worked !!! Wonderfully long , for those w' long stride, well built , easy to read monitors, great position of handles. Very Happy with this treadmill, did use heavy foam pads on carpet, very low noise, Great Deal, inexpensive for what u get, old treadmill was bulky and not long enough for my stride/ running or walking my toes w/ hit the front , I would highly recommend the T90 !

About Treadmills
Walking is still considered one of the most beneficial cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels. As a fundamental form of aerobic training, walking has numerous physical benefits for the heart, lungs, and circulatory system, while also increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories. Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all weather conditions in the comfort and safety of your own home.
From beginners just starting an exercise regimen to advanced athletes looking to maintain their fitness level, anyone interested in getting and staying in shape can benefit greatly from regular use of a treadmill. Treadmills allow you to determine the pace, distance, and complexity of the workout based on your needs, all while watching television, talking on the telephone, or reading a magazine. Much easier on sensitive joints like the knees and hips, treadmill walking and running surfaces are typically long, padded platforms that allow ample room for a long stride and comfortable, low-impact walk or jog without the harsh contact of a concrete surface.
Many treadmills offer unique features like a fold-up design for easy storage, an electronic display monitor showing speed, distance, workout time, incline level, and burned calories, and EKG grip pulses to monitor the heart rate while exercising. Regardless of the features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting cardiovascular benefits without requiring a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.

My husband and I are really enjoying our Horizon Fitness T93 Treadmill. He uses it for jogging, and I use it to walk hills. It was quick and easy to put together (only took an hour). The MP3 adapter is awesome. The incline transition is so quick and quiet that you can barely tell its moving (until your heart rate increases)! The adjustable cushioning of the belt is nice also. This is a very solid machine. We are very happy with our purchase.

Masai Fitness Power Elliptical Trainer Review


MasaiFitnessPowerEllipticalTrainer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For a not mechanically inclined person, putting this elliptical together was a painful and frustrating 4+ hours. I was missing a few random washers, etc. but nothing crucial to putting it together. The assembly video on the Masai website was extremely helpful, but don't let the under 10 minute construction fool you into thinking it's a piece of cake.

The elliptical does provide a great workout and the many different programs allow you to really vary your workouts and levels of resistance. This is an option that is missing in many of the cheaper, lower end ellipticals. Operating the computer is also confusing at first, and the manual that was sent to me was for their bike, which did not help my confusion. I was able to get the correct manual off their website.

I was impressed with the quiet operation. I can workout and watch TV at a normal volume. There are a few creaks here and there, likely caused by a missing washer or two. The stride is smooth. At 5'4, the machine actually fits me better than the ones at the gym.

Unfortunately, after a month the resistance belt on the inside randomly fell off during use. I ripped open the base to try to fix it, but there was no way to get it to go back on with the proper resistance. While I'm sure the warranty would have covered such a problem, I ended up opting to return it.

Product Description:
The Masai Fitness Power Elliptical Trainer brings high-end, health club features to a sturdy, smooth-striding elliptical trainer. An intuitive and easy-to-use on-board exercise computer features 20 programs that automatically control the intensity of the workout using either preset settings, or the built-in heart rate sensors. Users can also use the manual setting in order to adjust resistance at the touch of a button.
A 13 lb. flywheel and smooth, nearly silent magnetic power resistance provide a fluid cycling motion, and this bike has been designed with ergonomics in mind. The Power Disc Crank provides a narrow foot position, providing a comfortable stride. Large anti-slip foot pedals give a bidirectional stride length of 15-inches, and central stationary handles feature heart rate sensors and are adjustable to fit different postures. The extra long, curved moving arm handles provide multiple locations to grip depending on your size and desired workout. Constructed of high quality components, the unit is backed by a limited one year warranty.
Additional Features:

Built-in wheels allow for easier positioning of the unit
Ergonomic foot and hand positions
Programs include preset, user defined, heart rate, watt control, and body fat

Weslo Cadence C44 Treadmill Review


WesloCadenceC44Treadmill
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've had my C44 about 2 weeks now, and while I'm happy with it, I think I wish I'd waited until I could afford a better model.I've just started a weight loss journey, and I thought a treadmill would be a good investment given Alaskan winters.

Things I like about my C44:

It folds, thus taking up a small footprint of floor space when not in use.Rough estimate without measuring, you'll need a spot about 3' by 3' to store it when you aren't using it.The lock that holds it closed is sort of hard to release, which I think is a huge plus, as I babysit a toddler.

Quick-stop key (probably standard on all treadmills)....it clips to your belt or waistband, and then inserts the other end into the treadmill.The treadmill won't turn on without it, making it handy to take with me when I leave the house, so I have no worries about my children playing on it.

It seems sturdy.I'm not lightweight, in fact, when I bought it, i was just a few pounds under the 250lb weight limit, and it doesn't strain under my weight when I use it.I have personally used it to speeds of 3.5mph.My husband, about 200lbs, and athletic, runs at speeds up to 7mph and it, and it doesn't strain then, either.

Incline:it has MANUAL inclines of 3%, 6% and 9%.

What I don't like:

I use a Polar F6 heart rate monitor while I walk.I start walking on the treadmill (which starts the clock on the C44), and then I start my F6 monitoring.When my workout is over, my F6 ALWAYS has more time logged than the treadmill does.I've tested my F6 against stopwatches, and it appears to be dead on, so apparently the timer on the treadmill doesn't keep good time, which frustrates me, and makes me wonder if it's tracking the mileage correctly.

The thumb sensor for heart rate monitoring:it's horrible, no two ways about it.It jumps all over the place, within a span of about 2 seconds, it will measure my heart rate at 83, 144, and 199.From what I understand, all sensor type heart rate monitors are fairly poor, but I've also read that they can at least give you a close estimation of your heart rate.This sensor aboslutely CANNOT do that.If you buy a C44, definitely invest in a chest-strap heart rate monitor for accurate monitoring, don't rely on the treadmill's sensor.

The incline:Being totally new to exercise (ie, I've never purposely exercised in my life!), I thought it was great that the C44 had 3 levels of incline, and that would be perfect for a beginner like myself.Well, walking on a treadmill is not the most exciting thing I've ever done, and I've found some awesome treadmill workouts online, to vary things up a bit, but unfortunately, they all require incline use, and the C44's incline feature leaves much to be desire in that aspect.In order to adjust the C44's incline, you must turn off the treadmill, fold it up, and then manually adjust the leg height.Most treadmill workouts do sequencessuch as 2 minutes at 0%, 1 minute at 3%, 4 minutes at 0%, 2 minutes at 3%, etc.By the time you get off, adjust the incline, and get back on, you've lost your heart rate and just about the time you get it back to the targe4t zone, you've got to hop off and adjust again.

So, my advice on the C44.....if you can possibly afford a better treadmill, then save your money a little longer and get something better.If this is absolutely the best treadmill you can afford, get it.it DOES work well, and is certainly better than nothing.Even though it has it's flaws, the C44 HAS given me the motivation to get off my rump and get moving.

New Swedish Mil. Mora Knife Review


NewSwedishMil.MoraKnife
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The first thing one notices about this knife as it slips out of the sheath is the integrity of the blade. Sharpened at the factory to a razor edge, it holds this edge a long time before the first sharpening has to occur. This has been what has always impressed me most about Swedish steel, its edge holding ability. I have several Mora knives I use for wood carving and there really is no equal to these knives.

Whether you're cutting rope, chopping up vegetables, or any other task around camp, this knife is a tremendous tool. I've used mine for fleshing off the fat on a deerskin; shaving sticks for kindling; cutting through hard plastic items, etc etc. This might be the only tool you really need when you're out there in the woods by yourself.

The contoured grip handle fits the hand well, the drop point design is functional and pleasing to the eye.

Most highly recommended.

FobusRugerMarkIIandMarkIIIHolsterwithDoubleMagPouch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First off, I would give the holster alone 5 stars. The only reason I gave this 4 stars was because the mag pouch really doesn't hold the Ruger 22 clips all that well. Both holster and pouch are extremely high quality construction. The holster holds my Mark II Government 6 7/8" Bull Barrel superbly, firmly locking it in place. Pulling the Mark II out of the holster (over the pinch style locking mechanism) was a little stiff at first, but has worked to a perfect lock. Highest marks on the holster. The pouch is constructed well too, but it doesn't seem to accept the mags very well. I'd use it for walking and hiking, but if you're getting in and out of vehicles or riding an off road vehicle, I think you'd prefer pockets or a covered mag holder.

Weslo Pursuit 350 Upright Bike Review


WesloPursuit350UprightBike
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For one thing I fail to see how someone could rate one of any upright if they've only had it for a week-unless there was a drastic complaint. The real question and the one that the buyer needs to know is :How will this bike hold up after a couple of months of near everyday use. And I've found that these lower priced ones just don't cut the mustard,before you now it the resistance is gone due to belt stretching and heat(metal fatigue). Before you know it you're just "spinning and not reaping"that is any real benefits.True,you can on your own, take the covers off and tighten the rubber belt according to the manual,BUT,once the belt is stretched,you're already into the "law of diminishing return".In other word you'll be retightening often so after the first "fix",for your own good leave the covers off.
So for the money,would you be better off joining a health club and wearing out their machines which they have a service contract on anyway.With the price of gas and the poor selection of TV programs at the local gym this is definitely a consideration.(Not to mention some of the "critters" at the club(myself being most guilty), but there is always someone at least a person can have somebasic communication with). Should you buy a service contract?(More bucks maybe better to invest in a comercial grade from the start)?These new type macines are whisper quiet so you can actually watch your favorite movie or tv show without continually asking,What did they say"?.By the way the heart rate monitors are rarely if ever correct on the lower end machines,the monitor will show you as either in deep REMor so high you're about to have a heart attack.However if you're pinched for cash it would be great until you can save up for a better recumbent bike or a person would do fine with only 2 or 3 days per week use.But when that belt starts slipping(notice I didn't say "if"!),I hope you don't spill your sports drink all over your outfit.By the way you buy it and once it's out the door it's yours so don't expect any customer relations type follow up,not for 119.00 and maybe not for an upright considerably more.
I'm speaking from experience,and I also know of another heavy user type person who is on their third Weslo in 2 years due a cash flow problem.In short a quick fix in placating an "excercise demon"but eventually you'll wish you had the cash for a better machine!But for an occasional user this machine would do just fine.Also watch out for the price on this machine it goes from 179.00 to 119.00 and I've seen it far lower on floor demo models.It's also been restamped and relabeled for marketing but the same basic machine hasn't changed(except in price) for 2 years at least and possibly longer.

About Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

**ATTENTION. --MUST READ!-- DO NOT BUY! DO NOT BUY! DO NOT BUY!**

In July '10, I purchased an EPIC View 550 Treadmill. Within 3 weeks the product demonstrated slipping and gripping problems with the tread. Followed instructions to fix found in manual- no success.I called EPIC and was holding for over an hour!!It took an additional two weeks, 3 repair visits, 2 new parts (one was back-ordered...hhmmm?) and what felt like hundreds of individual calls to EPIC's customer service department before I THOUGHT it was operational again.Within 20 minutes of my workout, the same problem of gripping and slipping began. VERY VERY UNSAFE when running at a good pace I might add.I called EPIC again, put in the service request and asked to have a supervisor call me. I'm thinking I have a lemon and I need reassurances.I was told the supervisor would call me the same day, as well as the repair company.IT TOOK A WEEK TO HEAR FROM A SUPERVISOR AND 4-5 DAYS TO HEAR FROM THE REPAIR COMPANY. The supervisor refused to give full name for my records, citing security reasons.

BUYER BEWARE "CUSTOMER CARE" IS OF ZERO CONCERN TO EPIC AND ICON FITNESS.I don't know if its laziness, unprofessionalism, or sear incompetency, but pray you don't have to deal with these people.
It is September '10, and I still have a $1,400, 500 pound paper weight in the basement, STILL UNDER THE MANUFACTURE'S WARRANTY!!

I bought this holster for my Taurus PT-140 with the idea that it would serve as a concealment holster - as advertised.You can do MUCH better.

Positives: low cost; decent fit for my pistol.

Negatives: this is a low-end holster, and you can tell.I can't see anyone being able to use it as a genuine concealment holster as it's bulkier than you'd think.This is an inside-the-pants holster which I wasn't looking for, but the photo and product description didn't make that clear.The interior of the holster is rough and started to put wear marks on my gun after fewer than five holsterings.

My search for a decent concealment holster continues.

Bowflex Series 3 Treadmill Review


BowflexSeries3Treadmill
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I did a fair amount of looking before I bought this model and I am very happy with it.I became interested in Bowflex treadmills after Consumer Reports rated the Bowflex 7 series as one if its best folding models.Shopping on Amazon, I realized that Bowflex made 3 folding treadmills--the 3, the 5, and the 7 series.Online, these look very similar, with the 5 and 7 series having longer tracks and a bigger motors.Strangely, the best source of information on these was not the Bowflex website itself (it has *no* information on the 3 ,5 and 7 series treadmills--just those crazy tread climbers), but rather the specs from Amazon.

Consumer Reports indicated that the best way to buy a treadmill was to actually see how the machine felt. I agree. I managed to find a store that had a 7 series in stock.I was impressed.The 7 series was rock stable and has a very nice folding mechanism--it locks in the up position and drops down slowly when released (a great feature if you worry about your kids getting crushed by the track accidentally).Unfortunately, I could not find a dealer that carried the 3 series to try in person, but it seemed like it would be optimal and very cost effective.

I also tried several Nordic Track treadmills in person. These seemed to have very unappealing walking decks (sproingy!, in a bad way) and even on high hp power machines, the motor seemed to power the track very unevenly.

I decided to take a chance that the 3 series would be as sturdy as the 7 series I tried---I am very happy.Amazon shipped the thing super-saver in a relatively short period of time--very appealing! It was very straightforward to assemble once I got the thing in place--parts are labeled and the assembly pictures are really self explanatory.It is also a quiet machine and the deck is *very* sturdy even for a big guy like me (200+ lbs).One quibble--the grip heartrate monitor could work better--sometimes it does not give a reading after even 10 sec of holding.Also, be aware the deck will not lock in the up position unless you reset the incline to 0 degrees.The incline automatically resets to 0 every time the machine is powered on.

I use the machine primarily for walking, for this application it is great, the machine handles inclines and relatively fast walking speeds with no problem. I can't comment on how well this machine compares with others for running fast.For jogging it seems just fine.

A note on delivery and installation.This thing is *very* heavy (~275 lbs).The shipping company chosen by Amazon (Eagle) did a great job.I called them prior to delivery to schedule when they would drop it off--thats the good news.

The bad news, they would only bring it to the threshold (just inside the house).I asked if they would bring it upstairs for an extra fee and they said--"no way."Three calls to moving companies and an estimate of ~$250-300 to move it from my entry up a flight of stairs--this is not a two person job--the shipping box is enormous (80" x 35" x 16").I solved this problem by recruiting my father-in-law (also a big guy).We turned the box on its side, opened it, and moved the main piece (track and motor together) by itself. Make sure not to cut the restraining strap, this keeps the frame and the track held in place making moving *much* easier. Even then, the main piece weighs about 200 lbs and was serious work getting around corners.Very glad at that point that I bought the shorter (56") track!

Overall, a great mo-chine--equal to much more expensive models! Glad I managed to avoid a hernia during installation.

I got these for my boys for Christmas! Watching them go is so much fun! This is one of their favorite things now. It's easy to put together. Only has about 45 minutes ride time but my boys don't seem to be bothered by that at all. KEEP DADS AND UNCLES OFF OF IT THOUGH!!!! The weight limit is legit. One broke under the weight of my brother-in-law (about 180 lbs). So we bought another one.

Precor 956 w/HR Treadmill - Remanufactured Review


Precor956w/HRTreadmill-Remanufactured
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased my Precor 9.21i over 8 years ago and have used it almost daily since then.It appears this model is an updated version of that machine, so it should give you some idea of what to expect.There have been no maintenance problems; once a year, my husband takes the front cover off and vacuums it out.Conversely, my son-in-law purchased a True treadmill two years ago and has had to have repeated repairs.

I looked at all the treadmills out there before purchasing this one.I found its ergonomics to be superior to others - I'm 5'2" tall and some of the models had handrails that were very uncomfortable for my size.

I use my treadmill on the manual setting and like the fact that if I'm interrupted it doesn't go into a sleep mode and lose my time/distance.I generally walk at 3.4 mph and a 15% incline - having reduced my speed from 4 mph and a bit lower incline due to aging feet.One of the factors that weighed into my decision was the fact that Precor allows a greater incline than some others.

If you are going to spend the money on a good treadmill, I definitely recommend the Precor models.

About Treadmills
Walking is still considered one of the most beneficial cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels. As a fundamental form of aerobic training, walking has numerous physical benefits for the heart, lungs, and circulatory system, while also increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories. Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all weather conditions in the comfort and safety of your own home.
From beginners just starting an exercise regimen to advanced athletes looking to maintain their fitness level, anyone interested in getting and staying in shape can benefit greatly from regular use of a treadmill. Treadmills allow you to determine the pace, distance, and complexity of the workout based on your needs, all while watching television, talking on the telephone, or reading a magazine. Much easier on sensitive joints like the knees and hips, treadmill walking and running surfaces are typically long, padded platforms that allow ample room for a long stride and comfortable, low-impact walk or jog without the harsh contact of a concrete surface.
While many different types, styles, and price ranges of treadmills exist, many of them offer unique features like a fold-up design for easy storage, an electronic display monitor showing speed, distance, workout time, incline level, and burned calories, and EKG grip pulses to monitor the heart rate while exercising. Regardless of the simple to complex features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting beneficial cardiovascular results without a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.

ProForm 450 UR Upright Exercise Bike Review


ProForm450URUprightExerciseBike
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
So you know where I'm coming from I'll tell you up front I am a male in the baby boomer generation.In the summer time I enjoy riding my bike around the neighborhood at least a couple times a week.My bike is in the genre called a comfort bike, and I'm comfortable with about 10 miles per ride, though my goal is to get back up to the 16 or more that I used to do before I took a couple year hiatus.I also bought my wife a bike for neighborhood rides this year, but she has not ridden for quite a while and so has a long way to go to get up to even get to be able to do a 10 miler.

We bought the Pro-Form 450 UR so we could stay on it through the cold snowy winter months and be ready for next spring.We bought it from someone who had owned it for a while but never even broke the seal on the box.Our bike was built in December 2006, and assembled and used for the first time in November 2008.

As of this writing, we've only had it for a few days, and only put a few miles on it.I'm sure you know that one of the features of this bike is that it has games on it.For me the games are a good diversion even though they are very rudimentary.I played the "Tetris" style game and the "Destroyer" game years ago, but even then I was playing them in color, where as this display is an extremely low resolution monochrome.I don't know how the younger generation would be attracted to these games when they are used to what they have now.Maybe they'd stick to the blackjack and Texas hold-em card games.The obvious point of the games, and as I said above, it worked for me, is to keep your mind off the exercise routine.Of course you could always watch TV or a movie.The machine is very quiet and I found I do not have to increase the TV volume at all to hear well.

The other features seem to be fairly comprehensive, though I have not owned another exercise bike, so I have nothing to compare it to.It uses the SMR (Silent Magnetic Resistance), which I like much better than cranking some dial to cause friction, and it seems to work very well with 16 resistance levels.By the time you get to level 16 you are climbing one heck of a hill, at least for a baby boomer.It has 10 built in programs which I have not tried, only looked at. There appears to be a good variety keeping in mind that I have no comparison. The readouts are large and easily readable for speed distance, time and heart rate.I'm having to assume they are fairly accurate, I have no way of checking.

The bike is very solid.Heavy, strong metal is used, and it gives you a feeling of stability.The seat post and glide are very substantial.The seat is large and soft, though I have thought of wearing my padded biker shorts anyway with my bony [...].It's even quite a good looking machine in case you have it where others might see it.Speaking of the seat, it can be adjusted a great distance in height and some in horizontal.My wife is about 5'8" and she has to set it almost to the bottom setting, so I wonder about a short person.Maybe by bringing the seat forward they would be okay.On the other hand, I think a person of 6' 6" or even taller could use it comfortably with the maximum height.

All in all I would say it is a good investment.However, there is one major flaw that you should know about before you make a purchase.If you want to use an exercise program on the machine you cannot also play a game while you go through it.The instant you start a program or switch to a game or vice versa you start fresh.Even if you go from one game to another, or you've been in manual mode and you decide to play a game, you start all over.All the time info, miles, calories burned, starts from scratch.So, if you do want to keep track of any of that information you better not make any changes once you've started.Or, if you want to switch around, then just forget the calorie, or distance count and look at a clock or set a manual timer.

Product Description:
ProForm knows that many people find exercise boring, and just want to get through their workouts as fast as possible. That's why the company released the 450 UR upright exercise bike, which comes equipped with a GameFit interactive video game system. GameFit video games not only keep you entertained throughout your workout, but they also get easier based on how hard you exercise, helping you get the most of your workout time. The interactive games include such favorites as Blackjack, Texas Hold'Em, Dropping Pounds, and Calorie Destroyer.


The bike includes a GameFit interactive video game system. Of course, sometimes you just want to enjoy a traditional workout, in which case you can turn to the 10 certified personal trainer workouts to help you slim down and tone up. The personal trainer workouts automatically adjust the bike's resistance levels to help you focus on aerobic, weight loss, or performance goals. Other features include a smooth magnetic resistance system, a digital resistance control, a dual-grip heart rate monitor built into the handgrips, and an adjustable cushion seat.
About Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.
