Question: Anyone whos used bowflex treadclimber, is it worth the money, is it better than a regular treadmill/eliptical?


Question Description:
Im looking into purchasing a treadclimber, and I have read some reviews that said that it was too expensive for what it is worth, and that it only goes up to 4 mph, you aren't able to expand your legs as far, etc. For those who own one, please let me know if I should buy one, and is it really better than any other treadmill/eliptical out there, and if not, what would you recommend. Serious answers only please. Thanks!

Answer#1: I've used a treadclimber before, and I like it better than the elliptical, but not better than a treadmill. The good thing about the treadclimber is that it burns almost the same amount of calories as jogging. It is easier than both running and the elliptical. I think it is great for people who can't run and do not like the elliptical. If you haven't been on one, it feels like you are walking on sand dunes. Everyone that I know who has tried them, likes them. It is a matter of what you like versus what is better because ultimately if you don't like to do what is "best", then you won't do it which will not make you successful in achieving whatever goal you have set. I suggest you try one before you buy. Many large gyms have them, so check out your local gym, and good luck!
