Looking for a treadmill that has guts and has a look that stands out from the rest? Look no further than the
Livestrong LS16.9T Treadmill. This is LiveStrong Fitness’s high-end model and also their biggest seller. A big reason is the unique and attractive design, since most treadmills look like they came from the same cookie cutter. If you go to some of the bigger named sporting good stores and look at their line-up, the LiveStrong Fitness LS16.9T definitely stands out. As we all know, looks are only skin deep, or in this case sheet metal and plastic shroud deep. What about the guts?
LiveStrong treadmills are a hybrid of Horizon and Vision Fitness — both built by Johnson Fitness. Just from talking to the company and trying these machines, the quality feels more like Vision Fitness quality in the engineering, which is a good thing. Johnson Fitness bought the licensing rights to the LiveStrong name. This is Lance Armstrong’s charitable foundation, which is devoted to fighting cancer. With each purchase of a LiveStrong treadmill there is a donation made to the foundation.
Some of the LiveStrong Fitness LS16.9T Treadmill Features:
- 3.25 Continuous Duty Motor — Adequate power for runners. This treadmill will run smoothly and effortlessly at higher speeds.
- 20″ x 60″ Tread belt —If you are taller, the adequate length to handle runners with long strides. You get some additional cushioning and notice a slight reduction of impact, thanks to the orthopedic belt.
- Speakers and iPod Input —Rather than the cheap ones you find in most treadmills, they use Pioneer speakers.
- LiveTrack Fitness Journal — The LiveStrong LS16.9T treadmill has software that tracks you progress, allowing you to refer to your progress, or lack of it, during the past day, week or month.
- Heavy Unit Weight – The LiveStrong Fitness LS16.9T weighs 264 lbs., the comparably priced PaceMaster Bronze only weighs 190 lbs. The extra weight of the LiveStrong Fitness LS16.9T contributes to the stability and gives it a very solid feel.
- Warranty — Buy with confidence! You get lifetime motor, 5-year parts and 2-year labor coverage. Which suggests the LiveStrong Fitness LS16.9T is built to last, otherwise the company would go broke covering repairs.
Overall, the LiveStrong LS16.9T treadmill has several things going for it. It has good looks and it runs quietly, has a powerful motor, an extra long treadbelt, decent shock absorption, software that tracks your progress and you can listen to music. In addition, there is the affiliation with the LiveStrong Foundation, so any treadmill that is bought, a donation is made. So while you are helping yourself to a better lifestyle, you are also helping someone else out.
