I live in a downtown condo and wanted something compact to fit into my spare bedroom / office. I was looking at this unit which I bought and an Evolve treadmill. Both treadmill dimensions allow for under the bed storage or in my case under my futon which is what I was looking for. I also was looking for something that I could do some fairly consistent walking 3- 4 days at 20-30 minutes...I am not a jogger or runner (BTW I would not see this unit being ideal for real heavy running use). I was looking for a treadmill that I could use my iPod with which both units do. It came down to (2) factors for me why I picked the TR 200. The first is that my unit has incline which the other unit does not...I use the incline a lot to burn more calories and mix up my walks. What is really nice is since I change the incline often I use the buttons on the console that I can go to a specific incline. The second and not as important was that the motor size is a little bit bigger than the other compact units I looked at. The treadmill is 100% assembled in the box...I cut the back end of the box and rolled the treadmill out so I did not have to lift the treadmill out of the box. I am very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend this treadmill for those limited on space or for walkers.Product Description
Looking for a simple, portable walking treadmill? Turn to the LifeSpan TR200 Fold 'n' Stor folding treadmill, which collapses quickly and fits easily under a bed or stands up in a closet or behind a door.
The blue LCD console tracks your time, distance, calories, and more. The TR200--which comes fully assembled and is ready to use right out of the box--is outfitted with a blue LCD console that tracks your time, calories, distance, steps, heart rate, speed, and incline level. As a result, it's a breeze to track your workout progress with every routine by viewing the simultaneous readouts and exercise program profile.
The treadmill also includes such controls as an easy-to-use start button, up/down arrow keys, and quick-start speed and incline buttons. The speed and incline buttons are particularly handy, with options on each side of the console display that let you skip directly to 3, 4, 5, or 6 miles per hour or incline level 4, 6, 8, or 10. And to make your workouts more efficient, the console offers six exercise programs that help you vary your exercise routine--a critical factor for people trying to get in shape.
Other features include built-in speakers and a headphone port for plugging in your iPod or MP3 player and contact heart rate grips.
