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.
