Treadclimber

Pros: easy to use

Cons: none--so far

Review: I just received this item from UPS yesterday (1 ½ weeks early!). The company is financing the purchase at 0% and no payments for 1 whole year. Although the phone representative said it would take two people to put it together, I did it by myself in ...

Pros: Losing weight, feeling great

Cons: A little bit difficult to retain balance.

Review: I have had my TC 5000 for about a year now. It was very tough on me at first, on level one at 2.5 MPH my heart rate (HR) would go all the way past my training range within minutes. Now I have to put it on the highest level at the highest speed and even ...

Pros: Full Cardio Workout in Minutes - Easy to use !

Cons: I've had my TreadClimber for 3 months now - I love it - no cons.

Review: I am definitely not a fitness trainer but I would have to say that the Bowflex TreadClimber TC5000 provides the BEST workout possible for home use. I will agree that it is a bit expensive, but I haven't experienced a complete cardio and full-body ...

Pros: Good workout slow or fast, simple and accurate stats.

Cons: Not very sturdy, no pausing, looses stats after 1 hr.

Review: The TreadClimber gives me a good workout when going either slow or fast. Going fast is an obvious way to get the heart rate up, but going slow will cause the treads to go higher with every step. The display is decent and the included heart rate monitor ...

Pros: Great console, lots of features and functions, great workout.

Cons: Expensive, can't change the resistance while on the machine.

The Bottom Line: I cannot recommend spending $2199 for a machine that I have to get off of to change the resistance levels.

Review: The Bowflex TreadClimbers have so much potential. The TC 5000 provides a great workout and looks nice as well. However, looks can be deceiving. I have reviewed both the TC1000 and TC3000 models. Bowflex makes three models of TreadClimbers. I am now ...

Pros: Compact size. Great workout each time.

Cons: Questionable durability. Customer service needs to improve.

The Bottom Line: Great machine while it's working. But expect problems to develop eventually. Don't buy one if you can't take it apart and fix it when anything goes wrong.

Review: My husband and I bought the Bowflex Treadclimber TC 5000 in February 2006. We love this machine for some reasons, and don't like it for other reasons. I'll explain below. ASSEMBLY: We assembled this machine ourselves. The assembly instructions ...

Pros: Compact footprint, effective workout, low impact

Cons: Noisy, expensive, no workout programs, can't adjust resistance during workouts

The Bottom Line: I would not recommend the Treadclimber. Too expensive and too little features to warrant the cost.

Review: I've had the TC5000 for over a year and half. It does give an intense workout. I burn an average of 550-600 calories in a 30 minute workout. The treadal/elliptical motion is very low impact. I had to keep the machine set on the highest resistance ...
