I agree with those who have said that the calorie burn can't be as high as using an incline trainer, especially when you do it at higher speeds. There's a youtube video out there that compares it side by side with the nordictrack x9i: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b57cSveWYU8 I have used one of my relative's treadclimbers…

I would check out http://www.treadmillreviewguru.com or http://www.treadmilldoctor.com. At least to get a feel for the different brands, then you can decide what you want from there! Woodway is an awesome brand but they are extremely expensive. More than I would ever be willing to spend! My treadmill is a Nordictrack and I…

I would definitely avoid buying a cheap walmart treadmill... Like other users have said, try borrowing a treadmill, going to a gym, or going to a school or the mall to walk around inside. Use the time that you spent with your alternate activity to save up for a nicer model. There are some decent NordicTrack treadmills…

I have an older model NordicTrack that isn't in production anymore, but I have really enjoyed it over the past few years. I hear that their customer service is not very good, however, I haven't ever needed to use customer service because my machine has always worked well for me! After 2 years of workouts, our treadmill is…

Yeah, I totally agree with Mokey! Getting the closeout models is the smartest move, because you still get a brand new treadmill with the warranty, but you don't have to pay anywhere near full price. NordicTrack has one of their incline trainers (the 7Xi) on closeout right now, and if I didn't already have my treadmill, I…

Is this the treadmill you are looking at? > http://www.nordictrackcoupon.com/nordictrack-treadmills/nordictrack-commercial-1750-treadmill-coupon/ It's only $1,400 and you can use the coupon on that site to get an additional $60 off... So at just over $1,300 I would choose having a nice home treadmill over a gym membership.…

I tend to agree with most of the others, as you go to the gym more often, you will learn which specific pieces of equipment are your favorite. At my old gym, half of the bikes and treadmills faced out a window, and half didn't. I loved looking out the window while I worked out, so I would stick to those machines every time…

Camiann beat me to it! I was also going to mention that you definitely shouldn't base your decision for one or the other on the calories burned. Though the calories counters are usually off in some way on all machines, ellipticals are practically known for always overestimating your calories burned by a quite a bit! That…

You are welcome! I hope that others who actually own a treadclimber are able to leave reviews for you as well, as I know a lot of people really like them! I just decided that it wasn't for me. I believe that the model I used was the TC10 (the mid priced option), but the TC20 would probably be better, because the tread…

I have used a treadclimber and I wasn't a huge fan of it. I don't own the machine, I just tried it at a relative's house, but after walking on it for about 15 minutes I was convinced that I wouldn't really like to get my workout on a treadclimber every day. I think mostly just because it was really awkward to use. Perhaps…
