Bodyguard Treadmills – High Quality, Durable Treadmills

Bodyguard treadmills are designed and manufactured by Bodyguard Fitness. The company has only been manufacturing treadmills since 1995 but they have quickly earned a reputation for building high-quality treadmills.

The manufacturing philosophy behind Bodyguard treadmills is to make a good treadmill and price it according to its level of quality rather than set a price point and try to build a treadmill accordingly. This focus on quality over price, provides benefits to the consumer in the long run, and it is one of the things that sets them apart from their lower-priced competition.

Bodyguard Fitness have quickly built a reputation for durability and quality manufacturing, and a prominent health and fitness trade magazine recently awarded Bodyguard treadmills as the best available.

There are many models of Bodyguard treadmills on the market, and the features and benefits of each model are similar. All of them include such things as interactive heart rate monitoring and a number of preset exercise programs.

The Bodyguard treadmills come equipped with a powerful motor which provides enough power for an intense running workout, as well as plenty of power for a comfortable walking or jogging program.

The heart rate monitoring system included with the Bodyguard treadmills is very intuitive and easy to use, as are the user programmable and preset programmed workouts. In addition, they come equipped with one of the best warranties in the business. They have a lifetime warranty on the frame and motor, an outstanding 10 year warranty on parts and a 3 year warranty on labor. These are some of the best warranties you'll find for a home treadmill.

One of the features that make Bodyguard treadmills so unique is the special decking surface. They come equipped with Sorb-a-deck technology, which uses Sorbothane® to control shocks and absorb bounce back, as well as preventing the running deck from rebounding beneath you as you run. The unique surface also uses an unusual flex pattern on the running deck for a smoother workout.

The intuitive and user friendly display of the Bodyguard treadmills feature a raised silicon keypad for fast and easy operations, and new users can easily bypass entering their height, weight and other information for an instant workout.

The motors on the Bodyguard treadmills are among the best in the industry, and they feature powerful continuous duty motors for smooth and reliable operation. The speed is adjustable up to 12 mph and the incline can be adjusted up to a 15% grade.

The running surface of the Bodyguard treadmills is a bit bigger than some of the competing brands. The surface of the running belt measures 22” x 63”, and it includes a strong and slip resistant running surface.

Bodyguard treadmills are equipped with an electronic stride control that allows the treadmill to control the speed of the motor, keeping it at the speed selected regardless of body weight or changing incline level.
