I'm 50 pounds over weight. I interested in a treadclimber, but I don't know which one to get. It would be just for me, would the Tc5 be just as good.

Yes, it is a great machine. Only issue is set up...it's a little challenging. Hope that helps.

I've lost 56 lbs by using this machine. It is worth the money, if you have it, and if you have help assembling it. It does have wheels, but it is very heavy.I was walking on the street in the neighborhood and my feet were constantly hurting, along w/ my whole body. Since I've been using the machine, my pain is gone! You burn more calories than walking alone, plus it is low impact w/ settings for higher impact, if you want. You will need to oil the belts, but that is the only maintenance I've done.

This bike is definitely harder to carry, but to pedal? No. If you are feeling resistance, then just drop down to a lower gear. I use mine for commuting to work (hills both ways) and it doesn't feel harder to pedal than my old bike, which was about 25 pounds lighter. The motor is a lifesaver getting up those hills!

I use Orangtang wheels and thwy ride really smooth. Theres diffrent tupes of wheels depending on what you want them for. Overal they're fantastic long lasting wheels.

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.

I weighed 168 when I started and I didn't have any problems with it wobbling. However... It is very compact and I'm sure will feel more wobbly than a large gym quality machine. My husband is over 200 pound and he has tested it...but not really used it. He says it is worthless for him because it is not difficult and you cant get a wide range of motion. For me it works and I've lost 30 pounds watching calories and using this for 20 minutes to an hour several times a week. It feels like running in place but easier on my joints. The handle bar helps you get your balance...but is not really sturdy. The base does not wobble though. I weighed 168 when I started and I didn't have any problems with it wobbling. However...

I'm right around 275 lbs myself and we've had the treadmill for several months with no signs of failure. HOWEVER, if you walk on this treadmill at that weight you WILL notice that the motor struggles with EVERY footstep. Running/jogging you won't notice the issue as much but it's really annoying to have the belt jerk with every step when walking. The device also creaks a lot when I use it and just generally doesn't /feel/ safe even if it is; it's to the point that I avoid using it. Would highly recommend a stronger model for someone at the 260lb+ weight range. For reference, we have the device on a mat on top of carpet in our basement which may affect your experience.

I'm 185 and my legs are 33 inches. My only issue is occasionally lightly bumping the rear of the seat on the rail stops in full leg extensions. I'd predict that legs 32" and below would be perfect for full extension clearance and upper body movements. The rollers are a bit noisy but otherwise mine has been a very reliable outrigger rower allowing the additional upper body range of motion. I keep the resistance lower for primarily toning and stretching. For the price, it's very competitive. If you're pushing yourself hard, a more robust, expensive unit like Boris recommended may be the best option. I'm 185 and my legs are 33 inches.

It has given me an excellent workout. So far I've only used it on the lower resistance levels (1-3). After the first few days, every muscle in my legs got sore. The resistance goes up to 8, and I aspire to one day being fit enough to do most my workout at this level. You also 'get out of it what you put into it.' If you peddle faster, at higher resistance levels, you'll definitely get a good work out. Mine is very stable , but I only use it on carpet or a rug. However, I'm only 5'5" and 135 pounds, and ride for about a half hour everyday. If one weighed 200 lbs. or over, and wanted to ride much more than that, I'd invest in a heavier, more expensive bike.

I am about 160 lbs and I typically walk for about 4 to 5 hours a day. I haven't had any issues and the treadmill feels very sturdy. According to their website the max weight is 300 lbs. http://www.lifespanfitness.com/tr800-dt3-under-desk-treadmill

I am sorry, we do not sell the Bowflex TreadClimber TC10 through any retail stores currently so there would not be a location to try the product. We do offer a six week return period on our Bowflex TreadClimber TC10 machine. If for any reason you no longer want your order after it ships, you may call us to set up a return. You will be refunded your full purchase price, less any shipping and handling.

Absolutely. I think I'm in pretty good shape, and biking at a resistance level of 5 is burning my legs after about 10 minutes. This thing is really smooth. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I believe I read it's good for 240 lbs. I'm 220 and rides real nice. I would buy another one. Great design and quality.

If you are 6'5"... you are likely to be a heavier person. I am 5'9" and weighed 215 lbs when I started using mine. I destroyed the wheels in the seat rollers 4 times in the space of 8 months. This trac is nice and cost effective but my thinking is that it is for a person that is no heavier than maybe 185. At 6'5" you would also be restricted. The dimensions of the machine are probably not long enough for you spans.

The difference between the TC10 and the TC20 is more or less based on user preference. They both have the same three-in-one motion and are both low impact workouts, but keep in mind that the TC20 does offer more workout programs, tracking technology, and a heart rate monitor. Not only that, but the TC20 also offers a year longer warranty making it 3 years compared to the 2 years that comes with the TC10, as well as 4 inches longer treadle belts to accommodate for a longer stride. If you do not think you would utilize those additional features, then the TC10 would still guarantee you results if you use it at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes each time.

Katie, my tomasso road bike came with a 12-25 rear cassette which for most riders sort of standard. My problem with it is due to the amount of climbs in this area. I needed something easier on my knees as I'm pushing 50. I bought the 11-30 and it's much easier when I'm going uphill without pushing the red zone on my fitness pal. I probably would like the 11-32 but didn't want to have to change out on my rear derailer. So in summary the smaller gears are for in shape healthy young riders who can mash bigger gears. The 11-30 allowed me to gain more speed downhill and two gears extra on the steep parts which helps my knees and vox o2.

It depends entirely on the grade and your fitness level. I used to race bicycles for a living and I can hande short moderate grades on this bike. But I would not want this bike on a long steep climb. As always, your mileage may vary. If in doubt go for a bike with multiple gears. Going overgeard on a hill can put a lot of stress on your knees.
