LifeSpan TR2250-HRC Treadmills
The TR2250-HRC is a more sophisticated and heavier version of its cousin, the TR 500. It has similar functions as the TR 500, including six pre-set programs for the belt incline, six for the belt speed, and two which you can customize for your own exercise routines. It also has a program which allows the machine to intuitively change its settings based on your target heart rate, which the machine monitors through a chest strap and/or through contact heart rate sensors built into the handlebars. However, in addition, the TR2250-HC comes with body mass analysis function that displays your basal metabolic rate and body fat percentage. The treadmill has a solid metal build.
Advantages:
- Even more highly intuitive than the TR 500. It not only helps you monitor your heart rate, but it also helps you monitor your metabolic rate and body fat percentage. However, these readings are not as accurate as equipment built for medical purposes, and should only be taken as guides and not as actual readings.
- Solid build. The treadmill can support users who weigh as much as 300 lbs.
Disadvantages:
- Power consumption is even higher than the TR-500 at 2 HP. If you exercise often, your power bills are going to get more expensive.
- At an estimated retail price of $1,600, this unit is expensive, probably too expensive considering that it has relatively similar features to the much cheaper TR-500.
