Golds Gym 450 Treadmill Review

The Golds Gym 450 treadmill provides excellent value for a treadmill below $300.

But don’t expect this machine to be very durable. Although it provides great value it is still an entry level treadmill and entry level treadmills doesn't last very long.

Is It Right for You?

Gold's Gym Trainer machine is perfect for people who are looking for a budget treadmill. However, if you’re a runner, I don’t think this machine is for you.

It is made from cheap parts so I doubt that it can handle the pressure of running. If you really want a treadmill built for runners, please visit our best buy treadmills page and choose a machine in the $1,500 or above price range.

What the Golds Gym 450 offers?

One of the key selling points of this machine is its 6 pre-programmed workouts. These personal trainer workouts automatically adjust the speed and incline of your exercise depending on your goals. Or you can just input your weight, number of calories you want to burn and how long you want to workout and then press go and you’ll get a workout that fits to your objective.

The G Force 2.5 HP motor gives just enough power for walking or some very light jogging. It comes with Quickspeed technology that allows you to jump from 0-10mph with a push of a button. A power incline feature is also included so you can increase your intensity by doing uphill exercises.

The 18” x 50” tread belt is pretty basic. Most budget treadmills you’ll find usually offer this much running area. Its belt also uses StepTech impact reducing cushioning. It lessen joint pains normally associated with running on concrete surface.

The blue tinted LCD display shows your speed, time, distance, calories, and pulse while the 5” x 7” workout matix displays your exercises graphically. These features allow you to keep track of your progress during workouts.

Other features include a CoolAir workout fan which keeps you cool and comfortable especially during those long and grueling workouts, and the dual-grip BodyPulse heart rate monitor that reads your pulse which is perfect for people who does heart rate exercises.

Weakness

Just like other budget treadmills, biggest weakness of this machine is its quality and warranty. It comes with poor quality which is to be expected with all entry-level treadmills which is also the reason why its manufacturer only backs up this machine’s motor for 5 years and its parts for 90 days.

I would recommend the Golds Gym 450 treadmill but only to those looking for a starter treadmill. If you are a serious runner, this unit is not for you. I suggest you use our best buy treadmills page to find a treadmill that fits you need.

Where to Buy?

If you plan on buying a Golds Gym 450, I suggest you buy from Walmart.com. They offer the lowest price on the net. You can get it for just $299.00. 

As an alternative, just in case Walmart doesn't have this on stock(usually due to high demands), the Golds Gym 480 is an excellent substitute.
