PaceMaster Treadmills Review

Pacemaster treadmills are reputed in the fitness industry for producing high quality. Hence most of their machines get excellent ratings and glowing reviews from treadmill experts.

Are They suitable For You?

PaceMaster is a reliable brand if you want good quality, features and specs. But, if you are price conscious person, then this brand is not right for you. It is slightly costlier than your normal mid-priced model but rest assured, every additional penny spent is worth it for Pacemaster.

The manufacturing Company

The PaceMaster brand is held and produced by Aerobics Inc. This company was established by Bill Staub, one of the most powerful persons in manufacture of treadmills.

PaceMaster has been manufacturing treadmills for past 35 years. These machines use the principles of Dr. Kenneth Cooper on aerobic exercise giving you a very scientific assessment of the cardiovascular benefits for every workout. Currently, they use their 3 decades of fitness knowledge with the modern technology to give the best machines possible.

Unlike many producers, this company continues to manufacture all their models in the United States. They say that quality should not be compromised for cheaper price tags and due to this their models are on top of many “best buy treadmills” lists.

Price Range

The present PaceMaster treadmills fall in the higher mid-priced to lower premium-priced range segment. They lie between $1,700 and a high of $2,300. Actually, most of their new models are slightly cheaper than the prices we are used to. This is because they want to offer more value in their models to rival with brands produced abroad.

Warranty

One method to know if a product is of good quality is to look at the duration of its warranties. Pace Master offers a lifetime warranty for frame, 12 years for drive motor, 5 years for parts, and one year for labor. This proves that the company genuinely believes in their treadmills.

Drawback

One of the major drawbacks of this company is that their older models as well as few of their present economically-priced models have some stability problems. This is primarily because they use aluminum frames for their machines, making these treadmills lighter and thus unstable.

Recommendation

Their latest models are simply superb. The minor drawback (stability) from their older models has been taken care of in their premium models. PaceMaster treadmills are certainly recommended.
