A Quick Look at the Image 15.0 R Treadmill

The Image 15.0 R treadmill is manufactured by Icon Health and Fitness, the largest manufacturer of products for the home fitness market. Icon Health and Fitness products, sold under a number of different brand names, are available virtually everywhere, from department stores and mass merchandisers to the internet and discount retailers.

The Image 15.0 R treadmill has a number of features that will be important to buyers of entry level treadmills. The Image 15.0 treadmill is very much an entry level choice with a sale price of $499 (when buying direct from www.WorkoutWarehouse.com). This treadmill is not built to last so expect repairs if you will be using it on a regular basis.

One of the most interesting features of the Image 15.0 R treadmill is the MyTracks steps counter, which keeps track of each step you take. This system can provide a great way for the beginning walker or jogger to keep track of his or her progress.

In addition, the deck of the Image 15.0 treadmill can be raised or lowered for a more or less intense workout, and the speed is adjustable as well. Impact on the knees and joints is reduced through the use of the Precision Response impact absorbing system, which provides a safer workout compared to walking or running on concrete or asphalt.

Those fitness enthusiasts who are short of space will appreciate the fact that the Image 15.0 R treadmill can be folded and put away for easy storage.

The Image 15.0 R treadmill features an adjustable speed ranging from 0 to 10 miles per hour, coupled with an incline that can be adjusted from 1.5% to 10% for a more intense workout. The Image 15.0 treadmill is powered by a 2.5 horsepower motor, and it features a 17” x 50” deck surface and a user weight capacity of 275 pounds.

Users will appreciate the built-in fan that is included in the Image 15.0 R treadmill and the EKG heart rate monitor that helps you track your fitness level. The Image 15.0 R treadmill is backed by a three year warranty on the motor.

The bottom line is that the Image 15.0 treadmill is an acceptable choice for the entry-level market, but those looking for a more dependable and more feature rich treadmill may want to consider the Sole F63 or the Smooth 5.25. While they are higher priced treadmills, they provide a much better value and a superior workout than the Image 15.0 R treadmill.
