    Justin’s Comments:

    This is a good treadmill and a steal right now at clearance pricing seen as low as $900. Get it fast though this model is on its way out. The display is big and easy to see, the treadmill is heavy and sturdy, it’s quiet, and can attain an impressive 12 MPH and 12% incline. The only drawback I saw is that the belt is 55″, where most high-end consumer treadmills and all club treadmills are 60″ - only an issue if you are of the taller sort.

    Reebok treadmills are produced by a company named Icon Health and Fitness, which merely pays Reebok for the rights to make treadmills using the Reebok name. Icon Health and Fitness also produces treadmills under the Nordictrack, Healthrider, Proform, Weslo, Image, and Weider names - among others.

    These are solid treadmills that are competitive in their ~$1000 class. All current models utilize the iFit system, which is basically a virtual personal trainer of sorts that allows you to purchase additional programs of different exercise routines.

    The differences in Reebok’s current lineup are largely the bells-and-whistles that come with it, any of them would be a decent choice for all but the most hardcore marathon runner. Features like an included 8-inch television or stereo speakers for music add considerably to the price-tag. Consumers would be advised to carefully consider whether these frills are worth the money.

    The Reebok line consists of four midrange treadmills from the $800-$2500 range. Here they are:
