I was a bit apprehensive about buying this treadmill upon reading the reviews that it was difficult to put together. It was not easy and you definitely need two people to put this thing together. But, the instructions were well laid out, simple to understand. The only downside was that several of the screws I needed were missing in the box. I just went to Home Depot and got what I needed. The Gold Gym treadmill is a dream! I had an old Weslo that had served me well. But, it was woefully outdated. This new Gold Gym treadmill has an output for an Ipod or MP3 player, a fan that generates more breeze than I expected. The operation is very quiet. That surprised me since my old treadmill was so noisy. It has a very attractive blue screen where you can see how fast you are going, distance, different workout programs you can choose from or just go manually. Overall, a well built treadmill that will provide years of great service if properly cared for. I am very pleased with it thus far after a month of operation.
Just a few months ago I found myself looking at this very page, skimming through all of the reviews. I have to say that I am honestly very pleased with this treadmill. After wanting one for several years, my husband and I decided on this one. A bit more expensive than the cheaper brands, but still cost-efficient for us. And with quite a few of the bells and whistles that some of the higher-end treadmills have too. Well worth the money. Things I love about this treadmill are: *Ability to plug in your mp3 player - - although you do not have a volume control on the actual treadmill, the volume is controlled by your mp3 player. Turn up the volume on your mp3 unit, and you're set. If it's still too low, if you have iTunes, right-click on the individual song that is too soft, and check the volume there. More times than not, the volume is set to low--jack it up to 100% more, and that should do it. I've ran myself ragged on this treadmill and still have been able to hear the music just fine. *Built-In Fan: It may not look like it will help much, but trust me when I say that both my husband and I were pleasantly surprised with this feature. It really does help quite a bit with helping cool down as you're working out, especially since there is both a Low setting and a High setting. *Being able to set my weight on the treadmill so that I can see how many calories I've burned. This is helpful considering my husband and I both use this, knowing that we each burn calories at different rates. *Quick Speed changes: Being able to simply press a particular numbered button to go that speed in an instant is nice. If you choose to go gradually, you can also use the arrow buttons to change the speed in 0.1 increments. Sometimes that gets to be a little time-consuming, so the ability to use the numbers for the speed is very helpful. (The incline also works in this same manner) *Easy to Read Display: The display has a wealth of information including time elapsed, speed, burned calories, and distance. The distance is shown in two ways. At all times, you are also shown what looks to be a quarter-mile racetrack, and it shows you where you would be if you'd be on one. **I have used this treadmill about 2-4 times per week every week for the past 3+ months. I work out on it mostly by racewalking, but with bursts of running lasting 1-2 minutes in length in between. The longest time period I've used it was for 1 hour and 40 minutes, and it ran great. My husband usually runs on it, and has had no problems. The only thing that was a slight bummer was that once you hit 99 minutes and 59 seconds, the treadmill shuts off because the display will not reflect 100 minutes. But I haven't worked out for longer for quite some time, so it's not a huge deal. ***Overall, I am recommending this treadmill to everyone I know who wants to purchase one.
This is a wonderful treadmill. You can't beat it for the price. I love it! It looks nice and the fan is a bonus, too. You can't go wrong! Even my husband has been using it a little:)
I am LOVING! this treadmill. I've been using it almost every day. This is my first "home" equipment and the convenience is well worth it. Especially being a mom to a toddler. The features are AMAZING and what you get for the money!!! Wow, this is actually nicer than the Rec Center's equipment that I used.
I like the feel of the treadmill. The belt is very well cushioned to give a smooth walk/run. The fan is not very powerful but a nice feature to have. Assemble was time consuming but the instructions were easy to follow. All in all a good buy for the buck.
Although the box was in bad shape, the treadmill was in good shape. Except for a couple screws, all parts were there. The user's manual, which also includes the assembly instructions was fair to understand. The treadmill works great.
The treadmill was easy to put together, it took me about 3 hours. I've only used it for 2 weeks now so it's too soon to tell if there will be any problems. When I jog/run it squeeks but I'm not too concerned about that. The fan is useless, you can barely feel the air! I love the workout selections and the incline. I like that it has speakers for music. Seems like a pretty sturdy treadmill and worth the price I paid. Make sure you read the manual and get the correct adapter to plug it in. It was difficult to find one with all the specifications they said to get but I think they want you to buy the "gold's gym" brand. I bought one similar at my local hardware store. I would recommend this treadmill.
This is a very good treadmill, so far. It took about an hour to assemble with normal household tools. The only thing I have found that I disliked is the panel is not lit. My treadmill is in a corner of the basement without good lighting and the panel is hard to see, the display is vibrate and bright, but the rest of the panel is difficult to read. With the installation of a small light or floor lamp this will not be a problem. Also the speakers for the mp3 are not very loud, but this could be the fault of my mp3 player.
This treadmill was great for a few weeks. Now it will only operate at one speed, the slowest, and none of the controls will work, save for the fan. I e-mailed customer service. A very considerate rep e-mailed me back, wanted to know where it was stored. I naively sent back a lot of info, in the hopes that this would lead to a diagnoses of the problem. In no way was I asking for warranty service, but among the things I honestly mentioned was the fact that it was used in a garage, one in which the temperature routinely in the winter is about 15 or so degrees warmer than the outside. The next e-mail I received informed me that I had voided the warranty, since the treadmill was used in a garage, that the treadmill was to be used in a temperature-contolled environment. Yes, I had failed to read this in the manual, and no, on the Walmart site it is not mentioned that there are limitations on where the treadmill can be used. I now am faced with an additional expense of getting the treadmill fixed. I doubt I would have bought a treadmill if I had known that it couldn't be used in our garage, as I didn't want to take up space in a bedroom. I'll get over it, but I'm not pleased.
I was so eager to get my new treadmill home and assembled so I can work out at home and lose all of my baby weight while my husband is deployed. The assembly went fine, my husband and I were able to put it together in about an hour. While tightning the walking belt is where we ran into trouble. The directions state to contunue tightening the belt 1/4 of a turn until it is properly tightened. We could not get the belt to run smoothly while I was walking on it. So my husband kept turning the rear roller adjustment bolts like the directions said and the right side sheared off!!! The rear roller bracket broke! Of course it's the weekend and the customer service line is closed until Monday. I'm crushed because my husband leaves this next weekend and I'm stuck with an assembled, non-working $500 treadmill. I should have went to a place that refurbishes actual gym equipment.
