Yowza Fitness is a leading direct-to-consumer manufacturer of treadmills and other home fitness equipment. Unlike most other equipment distributors, Florida-based Yowza designs its products and owns its manufacturing plants. This helps the company to control quality and avoid passing middleman markups to the consumer. With Yowza Fitness, customers can spend 45%-60% less than they would on comparable treadmills.
The company’s treadmill lineup for 2010 includes four models: Biscayne, Keewadin, Smyrna, and Juno. The Biscayne and Keewadin models are folding treadmills.
Where Can I Buy This?
All Yowza Treadmills can be purchased direct from the manufacturer at YowzaFitness.com
What We Like
Motors: Yowza treadmills have powerful motors. The Juno’s motor is 2.5 HP, which is adequate for joggers. The brand’s other three treadmills for 2010 – Biscayne, Keewadin, and Smyrna — have 3.0 CHP motors.
Consoles: Customers appreciate Yowza treadmills’ ergonomically designed consoles. Special features include quick start buttons, single-touch resistance adjustment, and quick speed and incline control buttons. You’ll also find cup holders, hi-fidelity speakers, iPod docks, and multi-speed fans. Heart rate monitors are also standard.
Tracks: Yowza tracks are up to 60” long to accommodate taller runners, and their multi-ply designs have greater durability than other companies’ single-ply offerings. High quality crowned rollers also help to extend track life. Variable cushioning provides a firm push-off surface and a softer landing area.
Decks: With reversibility and triple lamination, Yowza decks are designed for a lifetime of virtually maintenance-free use.
Warranties: Yowza’s excellent treadmill warranty package includes: a lifetime guarantee on the motor and frame; 5 years on electronics; 5 years on the belt, deck, and rollers; and a generous 2 years of in-home labor.
What We Don’t Like
It’s not easy to find fault with Yowza brand treadmills. The Juno’s 55” track is too short for some runners. Also, some users might require equipment with more than Yowza treadmills’ 350 pound capacity.
Our Verdict
Yowza Fitness offers an impressive line of attractive, user-friendly, and rugged machines. Savings on factory-direct treadmills are icing on the cake! Each of Yowza’s four treadmill models for 2010 can be expected to provide many years of trouble-free use.
