|
Good motor and longer belt |
For treadmills in the $700-$1000 price range, a 2.5HP motor and 56" belt length is above average. However, the motor may be forced to work harder due to the belt combination. A 2.5HP motor is sufficient to power a 19"x 55" belt. The TR1200i has a 20" x 56" running belt. |
|
More programs than the Pro series |
Although cheaper by around $1500 than the Pro series, the TR1200i comes with more programs. Manufacturers should come up with more programs like these especially when production cost of programs aren't that expensive nowadays. |
|
Good parts warranty |
Very few treadmills less than $1000 give a 3-year parts warranty so this is one strength of the TR1200i. It also has a lifetime warranty on both frame and motor plus I year on labor. |
|
Comes with LifeSpan Fitness Club membership |
Each time you work out on the TR1200i, this comprehensive online health management program automatically saves your exercise results on your LifeSpan USB storage device and lets you upload the data to your personalized online account. |
|
Supports MP3 players |
Treadmill has a built-in sound system but when you're running at 11MPH, you might want to use earphones instead as we can't be sure of the quality of this add-on feature. |
|
Nice console design and handlebar controls |
Received bonus marks for its interesting console design and handlebar controls. |

|
Light treadmill |
Weighing only 204lbs, it may nt be sturdy enough to accommodate users up to 300 lbs. |
|
No noise reduction feature |
Not having or not mentioning any noise reduction feature counts as a weakness. |
|
No fans |
Although not a big deal for some users, most treadmills feature a cooling fan. |
