Keys Treadmill
Keys treadmills provide excellent motor warranties and great features. Moreover most of them are mid-priced treadmills making them affordable to most people.
Are They For You?
This brand is good for those who want a mid-priced treadmill fitted with an excellent motor warranty that is 10 years. This is quite good as most of these machines fall in the mid price range.
The Company Making the Treadmills
Keys Fitness, is a company based in Garland, Texas, and manufactures and owns Keys treadmills. They have just started manufacturing treadmills in 1997, but have operated in the fitness industry for some time now. They sell dumbbells and other strength training items.
All their manufacturing jobs are done in the U.S. but in order to stay competitive, they import most of their component parts overseas. As a result, some of their machines have some quality issues.
Currently, Keys Fitness has at least 6 treadmill brands and each of them fulfills different needs and budgets. These brands are Alliance, Encore, and Ironman among others. It also manufacturs Smooth fitnesss(but are not owners), a company selling treadmills on the internet.
Price Range
The prices of these machines start from as low as $1,000 to as high as $2,300. This price, includes a 10 year motor warranty and a lifetime warranty on frames.
Drawback…
The major drawback of Keys Fitness brands is their fit and finish quality. Otherwise they are good treadmills to possess.
Recommendation
Though this brand is popular for inferior fit and finish quality, latest models are seeing little improvements. If this goes on, you can surely buy the product, but as of now not worth it.
