Why you'll love it: The LifeSpan TR3000i uses an extensive shock absorption system to take some pressure off your joints while running.
Some people dislike working out on a treadmill because of the pressure it places on their joints. The LifeSpan TR3000i attempts to alleviate some of this pressure by using a shock absorption system in the treadmill’s deck.
It has a 20 x 56-inch running surface, 15 incline levels, and a 6-inch LCD screen that shows your time, calories, distance, steps, heart rate, speed, and incline.The eight shock absorber elements in the deck ensure that it's very stable and comfortable to run on.
Beyond its shock absorbing capabilities, the TR3000i has a number of fun features to give you variety in your workouts, according to Top Fitness Magazine. Meanwhile, Fit Rated likes the tech-friendly features of the LifeSpan TR3000i Folding Treadmill, which include a tablet holder, a USB charging port, and compatibility with iPods.
The Best Fitness Equipment says this treadmill’s steel frame makes it sturdy. Plus, the company offers a lifetime frame and motor warranty, 5-year parts warranty, and one year of labor, so you know you're covered for a while.
One Amazon buyer likes that you can fold the treadmill up to save space, as well as the fact that the TR3000i runs quietly.
However, several Amazon reviewers say the build quality and longevity of this treadmill is questionable. That's to be expected at this price point, though.
Pros: Good price for a mid-range treadmill, unit folds up to save storage space, extensive shock absorption system, good feature set versus other models in this price range
Cons: Not really designed for high-end workouts, build quality of treadmill is questionable
