Because I have a small house I need to keep my weight bench and weights on the back patio under an awning. I had been looking for a mat that was not only strong enough to handle the vibrations but also one that wouldn't deteriorate with the occasional rain. I purchased both the 2x3 and 4x6 mats and they have worked out nicely. The mat absorbs the vibrations and the small raised surface on the bottom side allows rain water to go under the mat. All in all it works pretty well.

I was very pleased to find this and it is working ok. It saved me alot of money also. It was easy to install and came with instructions. The only negative is that it is shorter than the original tension strap, so I cannot adjust the tension as much as I need to.

This product is a great way to refurbish your treadmill. It was easy to install and it's holding up great. I used over a new deck surface liner that I also purchased from Treadmill Doctor too.
Works like new...I highly recommend this great buy.

Shortly after our new LifeFitness T7 treadmill was installed, it shut down in the middle of a session. The local service rep was very helpful, and replaced the circuit board which controls the machine. We also soon noticed rust corroding the rollers, and were surprised at the lack of engineering thought and choice of material for parts which could be expected to have to stand up to sweat and salt. After several years, the machine quit again without warning. The service rep has been called, and while we expect he will solve the problem, if we were to revisit the original decision to purchase a high-end treadmill, I expect we would be happier with a Landis. It is a great convenience to have a treadmill to be able keep up with exercise, but as to Life Fitness - Caveat Emptor.

purchased this to put under treadmill and weight set (works great), and the kids loved it, and wanted it in their rooms, so I ordered several different colors, and let them mix/match to their liking. After placing 3 or 4 tiles (they interlock easily and securely), realized that the strong plastic smell was a problem. I left them in the garage with the windows open for a week or so, and the aroma went away mostly (may want to wait until open window weather arrives). We have used them on top of concrete, veneer "wood" flooring (where they are great sound insulators), and in one room on top of some gruesome shag carpet, where they work very well, and have some extra spring, but we do have the occasional shag fiber pop up through the seams. The are tough to sweep, but vacuum up easily with the beater bar turned off (or they get scratched)-would have been 5 stars but for the initial smell.

I use my Nodic Track Pro a lot and was bummed when the drive roller went bad. I ordered a replacement and it was easy to install and I was quickly back on track. (The other drive roller went soon after and I did the same thing for it.)

I actually own the lower version the 980 and love it. I have had it for two years now and it still works great. This machine is sturdy, quiet, and easy to move out of the room. I am 5'3" and I can tilt it and move it to another room. You can't adjust the pedals to go higher or lower, but can adjust the intensity of the pedaling. Great workout in conjunction with other excercise. High recommendation.

Excellent product and service. Although this item arrived a bit later than expected due to shipping area/schedule, it did arrive in good condition. The first big excercise that I had with this machine involved moving it to my basement. Even after removing the covers and foot pedals, it was still a heavy task as the frame was built like a tank. After assembly, the unit was smooth. Even my sister commented that she liked this unit better than the one that she uses in the gym. The only issue that I had was that it was missing the heart rate chest monitor. I called Bodysolid about this. Not only did I quickly get someone on the phone, but they quickly shipped out the monitor which I received in about 3 days. As mentioned, overall great service and one well built machine.

This equipment is three pieces rolled into one. I use it as a tread mill, stair climber, and tread climber depending on my workout needs for the day. It is easy to use, easy to move, easy to change the settings, and easy to read the display. If used as directed, the equipment produces results in as little as six weeks. For the money, this is a great bargain.

The Amazon price for the Endurance B2U Exercise Bike, with free shipping, was the best I could find anywhere. The bike arrived on the day expected and was in excellent condition (Very well packaged in box). Unfortunately, that is where the good news ends.

The assembly instructions were about the worst I have ever seen. Most of the instructions were small-scall images. There were very few written instructions and what ones there were were written by people who have never spoken English. They made no sense at all. I had a terrible time figuring out how to connect the magnetic resistance knob to the cable. Finally, at the bottom of the box was a second set of instructions that actually showed how to do this.

The bike has a heavy duty feel to it, or at least heavy as it weighs well over 100 lbs. The seat height is adjustable and the seat itself is quite comfortable. The bike is extremely quiet even when peddled at high speeds. About the only sound I hear with the bike is my heavy breathing and my 51-year old knees popping. Its easy to listen to television while exercising without turning the volume up above normal levels.

The absolute worst part of the bike is the "friendly console" that is very cheaply designed for such an expensive bike. The calorie counter does not adjust to the resistance level so, the bright guy that I am, I think I will always set the resistance at Level 1 since Level 15 doesn't burn any more calories per hour. Another annoyance is that there seems to be very little difference between resistance levels 1 through 8 and you have to get up to level 11 to 15 for it to be challenging. I have to say that the heart rate monitor seems to be accurate.

If I had known what I was getting for my money I would never have bought the silly thing. However, now that I have it put together I'll probably use it the rest of my life as it does provide a way to get good exercise without leaving the house.

Unless you think you can troubleshoot and support this machine yourself think twice before buying this product. Not sure if is a good machine, I never got to find out. I purchased and TC3000 and my nightmare began. It was delivered in 3- 70lb boxes...after several hours of assembly it wouldn't work. I called the tech support number in their ridiculous assembly manual (the salesperson said they would help you with any questions you might have anytime). Long story short, I had that 200 lb, $2000.00 paperweight in my living room for a week. Total tally came to 18 phone calls, 4.5 hours on hold, 2 emails and 5 messages left before I ever got to talk to someone. Customer service and tech support are non-existent. Bowflex/Nautilus is happy to take your money but obviously can't be bothered to take your calls or stand behind their product. I'll never do business with them again.

Item is well made, pre-lubed, and comes with tube of lube for future use. Precor wanted >$400. This item @$150. Treadmill Dr. is great, especially Karen Pruitt. I went through a lot of headaches to get my treadmill up and running, Karen worked with me and got me what I needed. I could have avoided it if I knew better. I will share what I learned: 1. Do not count on Amazon to get you the right size belt just because your exact model is found. Measure exactly the size of your old belt (width x length) and be sure this is what you're ordering. 2. If possible, mark exactly where rollers are before you remove them. 3. If you need a new deck, and you do if you have flipped it before or if the wax like coating is worn off or 'grooved' off, a mylar kit may be your much less costly solution. Again, product seems excellent & Treadmill Dr. is a must have # if you own treadmills etc.
