TurboFire Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product came the next day even though I did not pay for one-day shipping! Definitely beats ordering it through beachbody! The packaging for this product was great and very high quality! It includes 12 workouts on 10 DVD's, the 5-day inferno plan, fitness guide, lower body band, tape measure, nutrition guide, and 3 different workout schedules, one is the normal schedule, one is a "prep" schedule(in case you're not sure if you are ready for the normal workouts) and one is a "turbofire & chalean extreme hybrid" schedule. The only thing I would caution people on is that there is a lot of jumping and kicking, so they advise that if you have knee, back or neck problems, this may not be the right program for you.

LifeSpan Fitness TR 3000-HRC Treadmill Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"Great price with free delivery from Amazon. Shipping was fast from company called CEVA. Assembly was easy and we had no issues. It is almost fully assembled in the box and the tools are also provided which was nice. Within 45 minutes we were trying it out. The treadmill can be folded while in the box which allows you to break the end of the box and wheel the treadmill out of the box and into its location instead of having to lift it up and out as I first thought that I may have to do. Treadmill has excellent reviews on-line. My wife wanted an iPod connection but told her that it was just something else that could go wrong...the treadmill is in front of a TV and she can wear her iPod if she wants to listen to music. We have only had it for a couple of months but so far so good."

Finally, the treadmill's console offers a heart-rate-controlled (HRC) program for more efficient workouts. Once you set your target heart rate, the console automatically maintains the heart rate using the grip pulse or your own heart rate chest strap. The advanced console also allows you to track you speed, incline, distance, heart rate, and body mass calculation.

About Treadmills
Walking is still considered one of the most beneficial cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels. As a fundamental form of aerobic training, walking has numerous physical benefits for the heart, lungs, and circulatory system, while also increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories. Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all weather conditions in the comfort and safety of your own home.
From beginners just starting an exercise regimen to advanced athletes looking to maintain their fitness level, anyone interested in getting and staying in shape can benefit greatly from regular use of a treadmill. Treadmills allow you to determine the pace, distance, and complexity of the workout based on your needs, all while watching television, talking on the telephone, or reading a magazine. Much easier on sensitive joints like the knees and hips, treadmill walking and running surfaces are typically long, padded platforms that allow ample room for a long stride and comfortable, low-impact walk or jog without the harsh contact of a concrete surface.
While many different types, styles, and price ranges of treadmills exist, many of them offer unique features like a fold-up design for easy storage, an electronic display monitor showing speed, distance, workout time, incline level, and burned calories, and EKG grip pulses to monitor the heart rate while exercising. Regardless of the simple to complex features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting beneficial cardiovascular results without a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.

Stamina 35-1400 ATS Air Rower Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased my Stamina ATS Air Rowing Machine from Mercantila. When my stamina arrived, it was quite a workout just putting it together. I was rather disappointed, as I thought I'd be receiving better quality for 300.00. The components were obviously very cheap. Nonetheless, I was optimistically hoping to get a great workout on the machine.

I did get a great workout on the machine...for 3 weeks. Then one day I was using it, and the chain just exploded. The handle flew up in the air, and there were little pieces of metal all over the floor. Now, I'm not some Hercules or amazon. This was certainly not due to excessive force exerted on the machine. I'm just an out of shape 5' 5" woman. Mercantila was fabulous about it though. They paid to have it returned, and quickly refunded my money.

Supposing the "explosion" of my machine was a fluke, I still wouldn't recommend the Stamina ATS Air Rowing Machine. It was not very sturdy. After I'd been using it about 1.5 weeks, one of the bolts came off and hit the floor in the middle of a workout. When I tightened the bolt back on, it bent the metal. The machine has a pronounced "check" which bothered my shoulders (ironic, since I chose as air rower because it's supposed to be easier on a woman's shoulders than a piston rower) The seat was wobbly. The foot straps had to be tightened repeatedly throughout a workout. Oh, and the most ANNOYING part: every workout, within 5 minutes, one of the grips had slipped off the handle!!! And of course it would take 2-3 minutes to get it back on.

Bottom line: It's not a comfortable machine, and I think it could be downright dangerous for any kind of athlete. I'm a 5 foot 5 inch woman who's out of shape -- I can't imagine a muscular athlete using this thing without extreme irritation in the least, and possibly injury (due to the lack of sturdiness) at the most.

Tony Horton's 10 MINUTE TRAINER 5 Workouts SET - Includes Resistance Band and Other Extras Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received this last week and have completed all of the workouts.Some critism of two DVD's from another reviewing is noted and while it could have fit on one DVD, how can he charge so much for one, so he put it on two.Bad move, but he's making money.Speaking of which, the price is hefty, but WELL WORTH IT.Yes he stands around and talks, because HE IS YOUR PERSONAL TRAINER with this.Individual training sessions in a gym can cost up to $80/hour.He walks you through and explains the moves instead of doing them so you know you are doing them right.He's fit as can be and focuses his attention on you so you can get the same results.

The enclosed workout schedule offers a mix and match approach from one to three routines matched up daily over 4 weeks with one day off a week.10 min a day for min results, 2 routines (20 min) for improved results, and 3 routines (30 min) for max results.Bands are optional but included.My doors are old and so I use weights and or omit the bands.This system is perfect for me.I also have his p90x and love it as well, but sometimes don't have the time to do it.

You can increase or decrease intensity based on your needs and that's why I like it.For total or lower body, my strength, I push it.For upper body and abs, my weakness, I rest and use his modified moves that he shows you, and I can still feel it.YOU CAN GROW WITH THIS PROGRAM and that's why it's pretty cool.Busy, one 10 minute workout and you'll feel it.More time, then do two or three.

As usual for most every workout, the warm up and cool down are short, so I always do it twice or just keep going on my own.Also, his Yoga is a combo of simple yoga for stretching and can be done daily as it really improves flexibility.I can't believe I wrote this much about the program after one week, but it got me off my butt and working out again after I moved and have not worked out in about three months.A+ Tony...and THANKS!

Precor 9.33 Premium Series Treadmill Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I shopped for exercise equipment, the owner of the company where I bought it told me if he could only have one machine, he would choose a elliptical. I bought one and a couple of weeks later went back to get this treadmill. The treadmill gets much more use in my home, although the elliptical is great, and is probably much easier on the legs, knees, and feet. It also seems like it takes more effort than the treadmill and so it gets ignored a lot. For example, I often spend 100 minutes on my treadmill, but only 10-20 minutes on the elliptical.

I use a function that uses my heart rate to determine the incline and speed. Then I can turn my attention elsewhere. Recently I've been using the bicycle videos, Bike-o-Vison, which makes the exercise time just fly by! I've been doing one of the California Coast, which includes Big Sur, a favorite place of mine, so instead of biking through it, I'm on my treadmill. That's a great motivating system for me. I can't wait until tonorrow until I get to tour Washington D.C. (on my treadmill) and after that a tour of the rain forest or possibly Kauai. Treadmills are so flexible. They take you anywhere!:)

This is an excellent exercise option. I recommend it. You may not need all the options on this one. In fact, I ust use the HRC (heart rate) or the weight loss sessions. As I get stronger, I might want to do others, but those are flexible enough to do anything I should ever want to do, so a basic machine probably would have been enough.

LifeSpan Fitness TR 2000-HRC Treadmill Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I switched shifts so I cancelled my gym membership and decided to buy my own home gym...I did not have that much room in our spare room so I looked for a treadmill and bike that would take up little space. After reading reviews on Consumer Reports and Treadmill Dcotor I decided to buy the TR 2000-HRC treadmill. I love it! I can go uphill and downhill, it is super quiet and it gives me the same running surface size as the other treadmills I was looking at but does not have the hood in the front (which I always kicked at the gym!) and takes up more than a foot less space! I have been using it for about 2 months now 4 to 5 days per week and would recommend it not only for the small size but for the quality!

Smooth Fitness 5.65 Folding Treadmill Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received the 5.56 treadmill on 2/8/2010.I loved it until 3/18/2010 when sparks flew from under the deck. I immediately turned it off and unplugged it.I called Smooth Fitness immediately. They said USA Assembly would call me within 24-48 hours.They called the next day on 3/19/2010 to tell me that someone would call me with 24-48 hours.I never received that call or any other call from them regardless of any promises they make to call me back.It has now been 2 1/2 weeks and they are still searching for a service technician to work on it.

I am so disappointed.I am of average weight and used the treadmill for walking less than 30 times before it burned up -- not impressive! I purchased it based on the good reviews and the 2 year in-home warranty.The warranty doesn't mean a whole lot if you can't get someone to work on your machine.I couldn't in all fairness recommend this to anyone.

Also, be aware that if you live in a rural area the treadmill is "curbside" delivered by an 18-wheeler.The truck couldn't manage to get down our street.I was lucky that my husband was home and could use his trailer to meet the truck in a more accessible area.
