Weslo Treadmill Review Are Weslo Treadmills a Good Buy For You
By: Vienna Miller

Considering a Weslo treadmill Weslo treadmills are some of the most popular budget treadmills on the market today. You can usually find them at a variety of places including department stores and online.



But are they a good buy for you Heres a brief overview of Weslo treadmills along with the strengths and weaknesses of the brand to help you make up your mind.



Weslo is owned and manufactured by ICON Health and Fitness one of the largest producers of treadmills in the world. They also own brands like Epic Image Healthrider Proform Nordic Track and Reebok.



Weslo offers both manual and motorized treadmills with a range of options like Heart Rate Monitors handweights iFit compatibility foldability adjustable inclines and more.



Strengths:



1) Affordable Weslo models are definitely affordable for the home gym on a budget. Starting from around $249 for a motorized treadmill and $99 for a manual treadmill you really cant find a cheaper treadmill than a Weslo.



Weslo has also introduced a few higher end models in the $700+ range that give you even more options than their budget treadmills like more workout programs better cushioning and stronger motors.



2) Manual Treadmills If youre looking for a manual treadmill youll probably consider a Weslo. Weslo offers some of the most popular manual treadmills for sale with adjustable inclines and large LCD displays.



3) Solid Brand Name In this uncertain economy some smaller fitness equipment manufacturers have already had to file for bankruptcy protection.



Since Weslo is a part of the largest fitness equipment manufacturer in North America you can be fairly certain that theyll be around for a while in case you need to service your treadmill.



Weaknesses:



1) Just as price can be a strength it can also be a weakness. You just

cant build a high quality treadmill for this price. Most Weslo models are basic treadmills with bare bones features. And theyre definitely not recommended for heavy use or running.



2) Most treadmills offer poor warranties of around 90 days which doesnt give you much protection on your investment.



3) In terms of walking space Weslo home treadmills have some of the smallest treadbelts on the market (for example the Weslo Cadence C32 is around 15 x 45). While this does give you a very compact treadmill in my opinion it isnt really safe. Especially if youre tall youll feel like youre falling off the treadmill.



4) Most Weslo models do not offer onetouch incline (where you push a button while walking and the incline automatically increases or decreases). You have to adjust the incline manually which can be a pain if youre used to doing intervals while working out.



Conclusion:



While Weslo makes some of the most economical treadmills on the market they are the most basic of basic treadmills with small walking space short warranties and barebones features.



Considering this these treadmills are probably not best for runners frequent walkers or taller users. If youre on a strict budget they may be sufficient for infrequent and very light walking. But dont expect them to last very long under heavy use.



If you can afford to spend a bit more there are other economy brands that give you more in terms of motor power belt size construction quality and warranty. But its really up to you and depends on your situation budget and size restrictions.
