HealthRider Pro H500i Treadmills
At a cost of approximately $770, let’s see. The 1.75 continuous hp motor is sufficient – but there are less expensive models that have more horsepower, which is always smooth in every workout. The 19 x 50 treadbelt surface area is sufficient to do the job – there will be competing models at a similar price range that have larger surface area, if this is important for you. As you workout, you might find yourself close to the edge, especially if you’ve got an intensive routine. A cushion deck is designed to reduce shock absorbed by your joints. The 7 x 30 inch blue LCD screen provides important feedbacks such as calories burned, incline, speed, heart rate, distance, and time so you can easily keep track of your workout progress. The maximum user weight capacity is up to 300 lbs, which is pretty good (especially in this price range). This equipment should be sturdy enough for the vast majority of people. Additionally, there is a built-in fan which keeps you cool during workouts.
Advantages:
- Built-in fan keeps you cool during the workout.
- Heart rate monitor can be useful for those with special health conditions.
- Sturdy frame with a weight capacity of 300 pounds.
Disadvantages:
- The 1.75 continuous hp motor is not as powerful as competing models. There are cheaper models with better motors.
- Only 19 by 50 inch surface area. Again, check similar models if this criteria is important for you.
