Justin’s Lowdown:
This is a huge piece of shit. Even at $600 this is an unacceptable treadmill – it is poorly made, uses cheap parts, and report after report is coming out about poor reliability. This is just another example of a company that makes shit (Icon) making a product under a trusted and well known brand name and selling a boatload on name recognition alone. This is the worst part of it all to me – the blatant dishonesty. Average people at the store see REEBOK and think its a reputable brand. (More About Reebok Treadmills Here)
The specs all look fine, a fairly average treadmill with some gimmicky plastic arms that everyone who has used this thing hate. Testing of this treadmill showed it to be loud, wobbly, overly tedious to assemble, and breaks a lot. Oh, and every button you hit on the dashboard emits a loud and shrill sound – think buttons on a home security system console. It is just ear-piercing. There are decent treadmills in the $600 dollar range, this just isn’t one of them.

Price—
Lowest price we could find is currently at Costco for $599. This treadmill debuted at a $1199 MSRP and has steadily fallen since then, and rightfully so.
Commentary—
This is your standard mid-range, consumer treadmill. It lacks the power and belt size of higher end models. This would be a perfect fit for an average user, although anyone who plans (or has future aspirations) of long hard running should look for something with a more powerful motor and larger belt. Speaking of the belt, if you are tall you may want a longer one also – look for a model with 60”.
The Reebok brand is made by Icon Fitness. This is a treadmill that looks cooler than it really is. The warranty is impressive, but real stories from Icon owners seeking service can be scary (google is your friend).

Justin’s Commentary:
The big brother of the Reebok 8000 ES this is really the sweet spot in the latest Reebok line of treadmills. It has the motor power and belt size to really accommodate a more serious runner. You also jump to a lifetime warranty here versus a 10 year parts only on the 8000 ES. With a top speed of 12 MPH you can really haul some ass too. Will accommodate fat asses up to 325 pounds. Really nice sounding speakers for a treadmill, if a little gimmicky. I really like this model – look for good deals at Costco.

Justin’s Witty Commentary:
This is a pretty standard average treadmill for walking and light running. If you plan to do marathons look for something higher-end, son. High points include above average speakers for a treadmill and a really nice looking and informative display. The belt size is smaller than similar treadmills, so try it out first if you are really tall or really run your ass off. Oh and if you have an iPod this has a iPod dock that will keep your iPod charged and play your tunes, but I’m not sure I really like the idea of being tethered to having to use an iPod – for instance, I have a Zune (don’t laugh) – I would have preferred a simple audio universal input that I could use with any music device.
Reebok 8600 ES Treadmill
Summary:
The Reebok [Company Info] 8600 ES Treadmill features a high-resolution graphic display, IFIT training software, Coolbreeze workout fan and 14 programs to make training easier. The full stride DMX cushion deck provides superior comfort.
Specs:
Price:
You can find this as low as $900 at Costco and other retailers.
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 Treadmill’s – Brand Info
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:
Reebok 9500 ES Treadmill (MSRP $2500) (Review Pending)
Reebok VISTA Treadmill (MSRP $1300) (Review Pending)
Reebok 8400 C Treadmill (MSRP $1000) (Review Pending)
Reebok 8600 ES Treadmill (MSRP $900) [Review]
