Reebok home treadmills are economy-priced to mid-priced machines produced by ICON Health and Fitness, the world’s second-largest maker of fitness equipment. ICON manufactures several additional treadmill brands such as NordicTrack, Epic, and ProForm. Since ICON’s various treadmill brands share many components, prospective buyers often compare sale prices and warranties for these brands before making a purchase.
Where Can I Buy This?
These treadmills can be purchased direct from the manufacturer at WorkoutWarehouse.comWhat We Like
Availability: Reebok treadmills are widely distributed, so it’s relatively easy to try a model before buying it. If service is needed, it should be relatively easy to find a repairperson who is familiar with Reebok machines.
Motors: Newer Reebok home treadmills feature commercial-grade motors. The 9500 ES, for instance, has a strong 3.5 HP motor.
Space-saving options: Some Reebok treadmills, such as the 9500 ES, can be easily folded to save space.
Special features: Reebok’s newest models include television screens and advanced sound systems.
Stability: Reebok home treadmills are remarkably sturdy. The treadmill models with higher frames can accommodate taller runners, and some of the machines can hold users who weigh up to 350 pounds.
Tracks: Reebok’s newer models have long 60” walking surfaces. Many have two-ply designs for durability and cushioning.
Warranties: Older Reebok treadmills have substandard warranties, but the brand’s latest offerings include confidence-instilling 20-year warranties on the motors. Also, customers can now purchase up to three-year warranties on other parts and labor.
Workout programs: Reebok treadmills feature up to 35 built-in workout programs to help keep exercise interesting. Some Reebok treadmills, such as the V 8.90, come with iFit card readers. Each iFit card provided eight weeks of dynamic personal training.
What We Don’t Like
Emphasis on extras: Some exercisers appreciate Reebok’s bonus features such as TV screens and great audio. Others would prefer that the company invested more in its tracks and other essential treadmill components.
Price: Some reviewers have suggested that customers choose Reebok treadmills because of the recognizable brand name and not because comparison shopping has shown Reebok to offer the best value. Comparable models by other brands, including other brands manufactured by ICON, might be available.
Older Reebok treadmills: Customers are advised against purchasing late-model Reebok treadmills. Many of these were sold with only 90-day warranties and are not necessarily sturdy enough to last for many years. These models are also not suited for serious runners.
Our Verdict
Reebok’s newest treadmills include some entertaining features such as TVs and iFit card readers with great workout programs. The pricier models are sold with high-grade motors and relatively good warranties. However, customers are advised to compare Reebok treadmills with other brands before making a purchase; more cost-effective alternatives might be available.
