HealthRider R60 Treadmills

The HealthRider R60 is a sleek-looking machine built with heavy gauge steel.  There are 10 built-in programs which the user can utilize for his or her regimen. There is a maximum weight capacity of 300 lbs which is on the heavier side, and helps to make sure that the equipment is sturdy.  A built-in fan helps you keep cool during the workouts. Additionally, there is a 2.0 hp motor. The FlexStep cushioning makes it smoother on your joints, which can help you exercise longer, more frequently, and more comfortably.  There is also a heart rate monitor, and it is also iFIT compatible. iFIT technology means the treadmill is compatible with CD’s and videos available from the internet that can control the speed of the treadmill.  The 20 by 60 inch surface area is one of the biggest among comparable products.  You might have a challenge in finding this product, several online retailers do not have this particular model in stock.  At a price point of nearly $1,500 this product is a higher end model. I would encourage you to keep looking at similar products to see if the R60 is truly right for you. 

   

Advantages:

  1. Relatively strong frame
  2. Nice sized area of 20 by 60 inches of running / walking surface

Disadvantages:

  1. Only 90 days parts and labor warranty?
  2. 2.0 hp motor is not the best of the bunch.  There are comparable models that have better motors.
