LiveStrong Treadmill Review

LiveStrong treadmills are manufactured by Johnston Health Technology and are endorsed by professional biker Lance Armstrong. A percentage of profits are donated to LiveStrong’s Lance Armstrong Foundation in order to help cancer survivors and to support cancer-related legislation.

What We Like

Price: Pricing its treadmills between about $800 and $1700, LiveStrong offers exercise machines to fit most budgets.

Console: LiveStrong consoles are simple but sleek. A backlit LCD display helps make exercise stats easy to read. Some LiveStrong models also include controls on the handrails for easier mid-stride adjustments to speed and incline. Exercisers also appreciate built-in cup holders and a reading rack.

Fitness Journal and exercise programs: With LiveStrong’s Fitness Journal system and ten or more built-in exercise programs, an exerciser can compare results with his or her personal best and with five previous workouts.

Audio: LiveStrong treadmills come with speakers and an audio port that’s compatible with iPods and other MP3 players.

Motors: With 2.25 and higher HP, LiveStrong motors can stand up to frequent use.

Warranty: LiveStrong treadmills include lifetime motor warranties, at least two-year warranties for other parts, and a year of labor.

What We Don’t Like

Short history: LiveStrong treadmills have only been on the market since 2009. As such, one can only guess whether the machines will endure over the long run.

Our Verdict

LiveStrong treadmills get consistently strong reviews for their sleek and user-friendly consoles, the Fitness Journal system, and generous warranties. However, it may be too early to determine whether LiveStrong machines will endure over many years of use. Some users might prefer doing business with a longer-established company.
