Endurance HealthRider T650i Treadmill Review

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

Endurance HealthRider T650i TreadmillThe HealthRider T650i treadmill has one of the largest running decks for price below $1,000. Its belt size is same as those of Healthrider’s costlier models.

Is This Treadmill Meant for You?
For a big guy who requires a big tread belt but want an economical treadmill, then this model is right for you.

Features
This treadmill has a big tread belt, which is 20” in width and 60” in length. This type of running surface will provide you with a comfortable workout.

It has a 2.0 CHP continuous duty motor that gives you speeds up to 12mph and inclination of up to 10%. Also, the One Touch™ Speed Control provides the ability to quickily alter the intensity of your run in midst of your workout.
The HealthRider T650i treadmill also comes with 10 in-built workouts to select from. It offers you lot of workout variety as each program challenges your body differently.

The screen is a 4-window BioLogic™ Console. It is sufficiently big to easily view the most important information as you excercise.  It also has EKG pulse grip sensor to know your heart rate. This is quite useful for people wanting to excercise in their  target heart rate zone.

Drawbacks
HealthRider is well known for the inferior quality of treadmills. If this model is one of them, don’t be surprised. It doesn’t have sufficient power to put up with its big tread belt. So this treadmill will have lots of problems in near future.

Recommendation:
Avoid the HealthRider T650i treadmill. Its tread belt is very big for its motor to cope up with. So you will have to spend money for repairing as the chances of damage are quite high.
