Schwinn Treadmills Review

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

Schwinn treadmills are popular for their decent drive systems but poor quality. They tried to reduce their production cost to rival imported treadmills. Due to this, the quality of their machines reduced.

Is it For You?

If you prefer Trimline treadmills, then you are also likely to like these machines. As both brands are manufactured by the same manufacturer there are few similarities. But you’ll get better value from the Trimline brand.

About Schwinn…
Schwinn, is produced by DF Hebb and owned by the Nautilus Health and Fitness Group. Nautilus is second largest seller of fitness equipment in the world after Icon.

Features
A Schwinn unit, has a decent power. For a recreational runner, Schwinn easily offers you intensity you require. But, for a serious runner, this is not the right brand. The drive motor offered by this brand is sufficient for you.

Price Range
Schwinn treadmills are in the very aggressive mid-priced range segment. Most of these machines cost as low as $1,400 to as high as $2,000.

Drawback
Recently, in an attempt to be more aggressive with their prices, Schwinn shifted few of its production abroad. But this led to inferior quality machines which is one of their major weakness as of now.
