hi Big Mike! Thank you for this! When it is folded, can it go flat? not vertical?

[@bigguytreadmillreview]

It cannot go flat, only vertical. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for your honest and expert reviews; I appreciate your candor in pointing out weaknesses as well as strengths in the machine. I also enjoyed the bit of humor, which added to your authenticity. I know this is a respected brand, so I was surprised by how few recent reviews there are and am grateful for your helpful review!

[@bigguytreadmillreview]

Brands like Life Fitness are not typically sold online, they are sold in stores or direct. Because of this, most "review" sites will not touch Life Fitness because they can't make money off their reviews. (Review sites make referral commission fees when someone clicks on a web link). Life Fitness is very solid treadmill brand! Thanks for the nice words!!

Hey man was wondering your suggestions. I bought a Nordictrack T-series and it is the worst treadmill ever. Needed a new motor, circuit board and console and I've only had it since April. I seriously learned my lesson about treadmills (buy quality and spend the money once and never buy cheap). I did my research and it lead me to life fitness treadmills. What would you suggest for a 5'7 male 235lbs, I would be the only user, I walk at 2.5 - 3.3 at 6-10 incline, using it at home. I just want it to work and last and want to enjoy my treadmill. Any of your suggestions would be helpful. Thanks. Great channel. Very helpful to people like me.

Curious if you were you able to get your money back from NordicTrack? You really should be fine as long as you avoid the "department store / Internet only" brands like Nordic Track / Pro Form / Sunny etc... I know we give Sole a good rating but even their quality can be hit or miss. Your best bet is to buy quality (like you mentioned). Life Fitness is solid, 3G Cardio, True Fitness (which we have not yet reviewed), Landice. Kind of depends on how much you want to spend. Also, considering the fact that you have had a crappy experience already, you may want to try and find a local fitness dealer (Search Google for: Fitness Equipment Stores near me) and question them hard about their local support and service. If they employ their own service techs then I would suggest buying from them, if they outsource it then you may be better off buying online. Customer service is huge because as you found out, treadmills can and do sometimes have issues. Also, read the reviews on Amazon and that will tell you a lot about how the company treats their customers! Good luck

Hi from the UK Mike! I love your reviews. No guff or nonsense. Good man. I'm looking to get a LF treadmill. Get away from the subscription 'interactive' rubbish. Simple and straightforward. One BIG question. I really wanted the F3, but am concerned about the belt size, at 140cm (55 inches). Is this long enough to run on, at 6ft tall? It is smaller than most in the class. Big outlay so I really want to get it right. If a bigger belt would be a safer bet then I'll go for the T3 and suffer it not folding. Keep up the good work big fella...

[@bigguytreadmillreview]

UK in the house!! 55".... depends on your running style. If you have a consistent gate and don't run like a sloppy drunk, then 55" could be ok. If you run like me, then it would not be ok. Can you try a machine out in a local store that has a 55" in belt just for size comparison?

[@JakeHolder]

What do you recommend for that 4k range?

[@bigguytreadmillreview]

Depends. Home environment? How many users? How heavy is the heaviest? Walking or running? Any other details would be helpful. Thanks.

[@JakeHolder]

@@bigguytreadmillreview walk and run, two users…. Though I will be using it far far less than my wife. She probably runs 5 times a day. We ended up settling on one last night, and may be worth your time to review, as we love it so far! The LifeFitness Run CX, which is the T5 but no adjustable deck and comes standard with the Track Connect 2.0, and over 1k less in cost. Seems to fit the bill just right. We were initially looking at the F3 but after a quick call with the sales team at LF, we determined the CX would be the best way to go before hitting the club series.

[@sparky1967gmail]

Can you do a comparison of the best 500lb user weight treadmills please

[@bigguytreadmillreview]

That is a possibility. Which treadmills did you have in mind and maybe we can do those in our next reviews.

[@sparky1967gmail]

@@bigguytreadmillreview I know I can get a good second hand life fitness 95ti. I just wanted to know my options there are not many out there

[@kyk2655]

I’ve subscribed, I also would like to see a heavier user capacity treadmill. review i just don’t know of any under 10k

[@bigguytreadmillreview]

Be careful with buying these used. When a full blown commercial Life Fitness Treadmill shows up for sale used it typically means there is very little life left in the machine. Commercial facilities don't get rid of treadmills unless there is something wrong or the machine has no life left in it. People see a 10k treadmill being sold used for $1500 and it seems like a great deal, until a new motor is needed and it costs $2000. I had a friend buy a 100k used Porsche for 20k, bragging about it all the time until he needed a break job. Cost him 4k. He sold it very quickly after that LOL.
