LifeSpan Treadmills Review

LifeSpan Treadmills are known for their numerous safety features, which makes sense considering that this company’s main target market are seniors above 55 years old.

But even if you’re not yet that old, I still believe that these machines would be perfect for most individuals.

Is This The Brand For You?

LifeSpan machines are not for intense athletes. Treadmills from other brands have bigger running spaces and stronger motors compared to those from LifeSpan. But what it lacks in these areas it makes up in its numerous safety features and better-than-average quality. So if safety is your primary concern when choosing a treadmill, then this is the best brand for you.

About LifeSpan Fitness

LifeSpan is a brand of PCE Health and Fitness. It was established in 2001 for value conscious consumers above 55 years old. And since its introduction the line has grown to include both a high value home series line and a Pro series line targeting high end home users and institutional customer.

Currently, the LifeSpan brand offers a wide selection of treadmills, exercise bikes, elliptical trainers, and rowers. It is now available through fitness retailers across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

LifeSpan fitness is also active in community events. They are sponsors of the International Council on Active Aging and members of Medical Fitness Association. They also donate to local high schools and provide funding to the American Diabetes Association and other non-profit organizations.

How Much Does It Cost?

LifeSpan models range from $900-$1,500 for their value (TR) series and $2,000-$3,500 for their premium (PRO) line. With a price range like this, I believe you can easily find one that suits your budget.

Weakness

The biggest weakness of these machines is their motor power. It is not as big and powerful compared to top brands in the same price range. But as I’ve said above, the target market of LifeSpan models are those above 55 years old so I can understand why they don’t include huge motors on their units.

Recommendation

If you are looking for a fitness machine with numerous safety features and decent power, then I highly recommend LifeSpan treadmills . But if intense workouts are what you’re after, then you’d be better off buying from another company. (see our best buy treadmills page)
