LifeSpan Fitness TR100 Compact Treadmill

LifeSpan Fitness TR100 Compact Treadmill

Apartment living can be difficult for people who need their daily aerobic workout.  If you have very little room to set up your workout area, there are many compact treadmills on the market.  The LifeSpan Fitness TR100 Compact Treadmill is one of those products with some great features, specifically it comes as a fully assembled and ready to use and can be easily folded down to an 11 inch thin component for easy storage under a bed, in a closet or behind a door.  Coupled with a large easy to use console display, motivating readouts and quick speed buttons, the LifeSpan Fitness TR100 Compact Treadmill is a great product for students or people starting out on their own for the first time.

While the LifeSpan Fitness TR100 Compact Treadmill has a smaller workout area than most big name treadmills, with a belt size of 17" x 48", it still packs a considerable punch from its 1.5 HP continuous duty motor.  Most other comparable treadmills which sacrifice power for storage convenience can't compare to the TR100's .5 to 8.0 MPH speed settings, and certainly they don't offer built in heart rate sensors conveniently placed on the no slip hand grips.

The intuitive and easy to read LCD console, allows you to monitor simultaneous readouts and exercise profiles showing your progress for Time, Calories, Distance, Heart Rate, and Speed.  Five speed profile settings can be easily adjusted with cursor keys and quick start speed buttons, allowing for more control over your workout and progress reports.  An added bonus in this compact treadmill is the addition of a built in entertainment system, and while it's not as complex as other models out there, it still offers speakers and a headphone plugin for your workout listening pleasure.

If you're looking for a compact, easily storable treadmill with some great features, LifeSpan fitness makes a few models worth checking out.  In a previous post we took a look at the LifeSpan Fitness TR100 Compact, which is for all intents and purposes, the same model as the TR200.  However, LifeSpan has incorporated some new features into the LifeSpan Fitness TR200 Compact that make it worth your while to check out.

JOY!  The LifeSpan Fitness TR200 Compact Fold-N-Stor

Just like the TR100, the LifeSpan Fitness TR200 Compact Treadmill comes ready to use - right out of the box.  It has the same technical features as the TR100, including a 17" x 48" belt size, 1.5 HP motor, and adjustable speed settings up to 6.0 mph.  It also inclines to 10 different level settings and is a tad larger when folded at 11" thin.  Again, the small size and easy fold feature makes it a great treadmill for anyone living in a condo or  apartment, even for office use.

Where this unit really shines, however, is in its console features.  With a large blue LCD display which gives you up to the minute information on Time, Calories, Distance, Heart Rate (via the built in heart rate monitors in the hand grips) - the console itself allows you to not only adjust the three preset speed programs, but also to adjust three incline programs without having to fumble around with the frame.  You can manipulate your inclination settings directly from the user console, which is perhaps my favourite feature of this unit.  Also standard on the TR202 are built in speakers and headphone jack.
