I've heard it's not that good when using on a treadmill because you don't control the speed,the treadmill does.There4 gameplay isn't as good.True?ue

Well actually, you control the speed of the treadmill. Some games are affected by your activity, Other games don't really get affected by your activity and go their own speed. There is a motion sensor, so if a game increases with your motion activity and the treadmill is running a program that goes faster or slower, yes, the treadmill controls the game.

Sorry for the delay in reply. I don't think this is a piece of junk. I think for really tall people and hardcore atheletes, this is not what they are looking for. I think really great treadmills cost a LOT, but this is NOT the piece of squeaky, flimsy stuff I hear it is. What I ESPECIALLY like about it, is that to get anything this good, sturdy, quiet, durable, good company- you'd have to pay a lot more- at least twice as much. I think this is one of the better values. If you do want to USE a treadmill, and need one that is quiet and lasts long (Weslo is a good company that seems, even when there are shipping or boxing errors, to stand by their product) - this is really worthwhile. I can see how tall people and athletes would want or even need a bigger bang, regardless of price. This is a no-frills model- but it's great. I'm really glad I didn't go spend less, and get unmotorized or a different one, or spend twice as much. I have no complaints so far and now I've had it a bit of time at least and regular use. It's a really good one for regular but casual use and entry level. Beat the cheaper ones for quite and ease and durability, beats the pricier ones, in that it works well and lasts reasonably and is easy to go from box, to treadmilling, even for sissy weaklings like me. It's not "outstanding, perfect" but I think it's much better than hit or miss. (Plus Amazon has buyer protections if you get a lemon. EVERY mfg of everything, there is always one lemon for every few hundred great ones.) Not perfect, each one every time always, but it's far enough better than luck of draw that it's worth the recommendation.

yes. for god's sakes hold on. We lost grandmother when she torqued up the treadmill to 6 miles an hour. off the back she went flying through the wall board, between the wall studs and splatted against the brick siding. I was on the treadmill at 4 miles an hour Thursday and it recorded all steps effortlessly. Sara used the elliptical with success also. I have to see about biking, I used the recumbent and it did not register.

It is good for me and I use it only when outside weather doesn't allow me to walk my 3-mile circuit. I find you can exert yourself more or less as you choose; there are times when I wish this did have more resistance. It sounds as though you are a seasoned fast walker or runner. If so, the Supreme with more resistance would probably be better for you. I didn't know there was one or I may have gotten that instead.

Go to horizon's website and you'll have the pictures. I can tell you that it's not compact and it is heavy. I like because I am a big guy and this treadmill feels a lot like the Gym's treadmill. It doesn't shake or move around as I am exercising. If you are planning on moving the treadmill back and forth for storage, I'd recommend to look for another brand. If you something solid that will mainly stay in one place, look no further.

I do inside runners on treadmill using my 920XT without foot pod and works quite good (I don't know what black magic garmin did to make it works). Maybe something with new HR3 and my previous run behaviour/style on GPS recorded tracks.

With treadmills is best to use the lubricant that the treadmill company requires. It will save you the cost of a new treadmill in the future. I speak from experience.

I only tried it once many years ago and it was boring. You can hardly notice it change. But try it and see. Any form of movement will effect it, but it was built for machine movement I believe. Not reading the prior posts I answered the request. My model is quite old and if it has a pedestrian mode, I don't know it. Will check further, but being unable to walk any great distance, do not need the feature. Will try and find the booklet and update it in my mind.

I use the sensor with an app on my iPhone. My experience, yes the sensor and everything, still works on a treadmill...as long as I have my phone (with the app) on me, as well. Either in an armband, or waist clip. As long as I do that, and with the sensor in my shoe...it still works. The app even asks me, when I start a new run, if I'm running indoors or outdoors. Hope that helps answer your question.

There are direct up and down arrows for both speed and incline. Unlike cheaper treadmills they respond instantly on the display and are fast to change. Treadmill responds intentionally more slowly to protect motor and electronics for long life. It's a nice interface.

I'm 17, I used it. used a full scoop and did some heavy cleans, felt a tiny bit dizzy/ heart rate increased dramatically. Light treadmill is ok, I do 5 min of rowing before workouts sometimes and feels great. I wouldn't recommend heavy sprinting immediately (taking into account the 30min absorption period) after taking it though.

I found that the transmitter belt from my Sole treadmill did work although the rate didn't change very frequently. It seemed more of a snapshot rather than continuous monitoring. The lack of info on the heart rate monitor function is rather appalling.

Somewhat. The treadmill does have some 'play or give' and is not as firm as walking on the ground. years ago i had a simple treadmill model that i think was more cushy than this but this machine is made to work long days whereas the other one i had was a $250 machine and clearly not the quality this machine is.

It DOES work on treadmills. The elliptical I can't say for sure as there are so many styles/types. It doesn't work on the elliptical I use so I just track my time (rather than steps) when I am on it.

I would say it's excellent in that regard. The deck has a slight flexibility with your foot fall, and I find it very comfortable to run on for extended periods. Over the years we have had several treadmills, and we agree this LifeSpan TR 1200i is the best we have ever owned. I can't see any downside to this equipment. However, you should know that the on-off toggle switch is located at floor level on the front of the treadmill necessitating a stretch to turn it on and off. Not a problem for me...still, the switch could have been located on the 'dashboard' for ease of use. This is an excellent treadmill. 5 star recommendation here.

I get more of a workout on this treadmill than an electric one. You use your own body. I run outside also and the treadmill is still harder because of the incline. I can walk, jog, and run on the treadmill. It is the best investment I have made. It is small compact and will kick your butt and make you sweat as you get back into shape. If you need an app to help you train. I recommend C25K.

Oh, I never did the Cycling game. But I thought this is really fun, especially if you're trying to lose weight, etc. I have COPD and have to walk every day--this is a lot more fun than the treadmill. Hope that helps!
