AFG Sport 5.9 AT Review
The AFG Sport 5.9 AT Treadmill is a cut above the 5.5 AT, offering better performance for both serious runners and tech-savvy users alike. Even with its advanced features, it’s still relatively inexpensive, easy to use, and perfect for home workouts.
This treadmill features a full 60” running deck, a large 3.0 CHP motor, and Bluetooth connectivity – all deluxe features that most fitness buffs want in a quality treadmill. The running surface provides excellent cushioning with its 2-ply belt, giving you some extra pep in your step. And, as with all AFG exercise equipment, it offers an excellent lifetime warranty on the frame and motor.
If you’re looking to mix things up, the AFG Sport 5.9 AT includes 43 workout options and levels. And if you really want to take your training up a notch, you’ll love the 12 degrees of power incline and the strong motor that reaches speeds of up to 12 mph. Plus, you get a wireless chest strap to monitor your heart rate and built-in speakers to amp up your adrenaline.
To save floor space, this home treadmill folds quickly and easily with its hassle-free EZ fold assist lift system. However, phone a few friends when you first bring this treadmill home – assembly is complicated.
For buyers on a budget who don’t want to skimp on features or performance, the AFG Sport 5.9 AT is a well-rounded machine that offers a decent price to value ratio.
