You’ve been asking and it’s here: the Bowflex Treadmill 22. In our testing of the T22, we found this treadmill to be well-built and incredibly durable. It’s large in size, especially compared to other home models, however, it folds up to save a good amount of space. Just make sure that you decline the deck completely in order to fold it up to be more compact. The deck and motor are two separate pieces so I think this helps contribute to how high the deck can fold up.
The Bowflex Treadmill 22 weighs a whopping 336 lbs and can handle users up to 400 lbs, so it’s basically a tank, and feels like one when you’re on it. The motor is said to be 4.0 horsepower. It can definitely handle heavy use like race training and multi-user households. The speed increases to 12 mph and the deck inclines to 20% and declines to -5%. This is the highest-inclining folding treadmill that we’ve seen. It definitely provides a challenging workout.
The frame is made of steel. The uprights are unique because they make a triangular shape with the frame at the floor. Triangles are said to be the strongest shape so this was an effective design choice on Bowflex’s part. The 22” touch screen and entire console remain really steady and don’t wobble.
The T22 is also really quiet. The incline/decline function can barely be heard above the sound of the belt moving when the treadmill is adjusting the grade.
The deck is large at 22” wide by 60” long. This size is appropriate for most stride lengths and users of all heights. You should have plenty of room to walk, jog, hike, run, and sprint on the belt. The cushioning is firmer than we expected, however, it does provide shock absorption. It might not be best if you have joint issues though.
The 22” touch screen is enabled with JRNY which comes free for the first year. JRNY includes a variety of content such as trainer-led workouts, outdoor filmed videos, preprogrammed workouts, and streaming to apps like Netflix and Hulu. Plus, on the console, there is plenty of storage for water and your phone/tablet.
If you’re looking for a high-inclining treadmill that can handle a lot of use, we highly recommend the Bowflex Treadmill 22.

Had this treadmill for a week now and I'm delighted with the purchase (It's called the 56 in Europe/UK as screen size in cms!). Extremely well made and the entertainment and workout options are good quality and plentiful. The screen is fantastic. As an added bonus my wife has been doing some walking on it as she enjoys the 'around the world' section so this could be good for her. All in all first impressions are it's a fantastic piece of kit and the jrny subscription is reasonable.

[@sqd8r]

I really wanted to get this Bowflex, I have the M5 Max Trainer and their kettlebell. Sadly, the delivery to my 4 floor walkup was not available so I went Precor. Maybe in 10 yrs when I move. Still, love Bowflex products. This is a great review, really shows you the size, features and quality. I love the look and build.

[@lisabauman4677]

Which Precor did you go with and how are you liking it?

[@uclajd]

UGH, why not show how you can use the treadmill without the obnoxious subscription?!

[@rosariamejia]

Can you link your full JRNY review? Can't find it on your page.

[@marketingsuccess2637]

Excellent review! Question, can I stream KZbin?

[@jaibux]

Which streaming apps are currently available? In the demos it shows Netflix, Prime, Hulu, Disney+ and HBOMax, but the web site says that it includes only Netflix and Prime, is that fake advertising?

[@sandiejones7835]

Great review - however I must report that the after sales service once out of warranty in the UK is really very poor.

[@LehalSuni1984]

Thanks for letting us know. As expected in the UK

[@OmarMorales-ti9bb]

Does anyone have the problem where the incline does work/ does go back down? Plz help

[@mandyantrum9968]

Hello I can’t get touch screen to work on my bowflex

[@Will008]

I need this one!

[@dynero]

While using jrny explore the world, does the treadmill auto adjust to the terrain?

[@moefis]

Yes

[@Boliccov]

Pour 3700 & plus, j'espère que tu peux mettre tes propres vidéos, sinon c'est ennuyeux de voir l'écran avec seulement les choix et les abonnements. J'ai déjà mes propres vidéos. sinon, il faut faire un jailbreak ? afin d'avoir le plein control sur l'ecran !?

[@CoolIHandIMatt]

Do the programs and workouts automatically adjust the speed and incline?

[@Tryoutaccount]

Hey i also have this question. Did you by any chance figure this out via a different source?

[@slab3662]

What is actually available w/o JRNY?

[@uclajd]

Exactly, none of these reviewers ever spend ten seconds on non-subscription use, which makes me really suspect their objectivity.

[@jorgegiljuarez9875]

Mine is only for 2 months not a year membership. Do we know why ?

[@TreadmillReviewGuru]

Unfortunately right after we filmed this review they switched it from a year to only 2 months. We're sorry about that!

[@johnJohn-dz4ex]

Which treadmill would you say has the softest running area?

[@TreadmillReviewGuru]

NordicTrack treadmills tend to have the softest deck cushioning. The X32i and X22i are the softest, and the 2450, 1750, and 1250 are also soft to run on.

[@JasonMaehl]

@TreadmillReviews has the NordicTrack 2450 rated a 8.5/10 whereas the Bowflex Treadmill 22 rated a 9.3/10. Would you agree with these ratings? I would love to go with iFit over Jrny, but don't want to sacrifice quality on the treadmill itself.

[@bjeliful]

the T22 is workhorse in every way.... l don"t know about NT 2450 but seems to me that is more gentle construction consider the T22.

[@Defaced32]

I currently have the 2450 and on my 3rd one in 1.5 years. This 3rd one is going away too after having 3 issues that could have resulted in serious injury, including this last one where the treadmill would just shutoff for no reason. Imagine running at 8mph and the whole thing just stops, not good. iFit was awesome in hearing my concerns and what I wanted which was a full refund and to have them take the machine away. I am still in the process of this, but once completed I will be buying the BowFlex 22 like I should have 1.5 years ago. NordicTrack also uses ICON Fitness for it's support and that can be a negative experience sometimes. My experience with them was mostly decent, just very time consuming as you can spend a few hours on each call. Overall, I will never buy another NordicTrack machine again.

[@robertlegrand1212]

Nordictrack is a horrible product. I purchased an X32I, had to replace it because it would shutoff during workout. The second machine is doing the same, but Nordictrack customer support wants to replace the belt. They have already replaced every part. My treadmill is more nonfunctional than valuable.

[@bebeged]

do i have to have JRNY subscription in order to use hulu, netflix etc....?

[@TreadmillReviewGuru]

Unfortunately yes

[@bebeged]

Which treadmill that I can stream Netflix, Hulu etc... without the subscription? From watching your reviews, is Sole F85 the one?

[@TreadmillReviewGuru]

Sole F85, F80 or F89. It's also possible on Matrix treadmill with the updated console option.

[@bebeged]

Thank you for the reply

[@12Kyra121]

Does the treadmill workout jrny?

[@cheddar3219]

Yeah. Yearly subscription

[@homesteadgardenfarm]

Just want to clarify for anyone who misunderstood this like I did…you MUST have/continue a JRNY subscription to use the video apps such as Netflix, Disney+, etc. which is a huge bummer to me. We just got this and was excited to have that feature…only to find out we’ll have to continue paying for JRNY after our free trial to utilize those apps 😣

[@MH-bw9zt]

That's pretty ridiculous. Unfortunately their aren't any other treadmills with a 20% incline. Only thing is the nordictrack incline trainer but that thing has TERRIBLE reliability and customer service reviews.

[@eclecticgentleman]

The silver lining is JRNY is by far the cheapest fitness app and you can save even more if you pay annually

[@mrg651]

I just returned a Nordictrack 2950 and it was so badly calibrated in both speed and incline/ decline that even at its full decline of -3 it was physically shown with a spirit level to be uphill, tbh it was 6th NT machine, never had any problems before but has put me off the brand not helped by abysmal customer service at Fitness superstore and I’m seeing more and more poor reviews about NT machines

[@mrg651]

Great review it looks very similar to bowflex 56?

[@jorgegiljuarez9875]

That sucks. I’m in the same boat

[@MARS0l]

Nobody is answering how to us this without wifi 😭

[@LP-bt4jk]

Yes!

[@MARS0l]

@@LP-bt4jk but howwwwww lol

[@Lee-ry5ib]

You're giving fitness advice?

[@scotrugby4529]

She had a baby recently. If you look at older videos, she has lost quite a bit of weight. Cut her some slack.

[@Ryan40272]

So no KZbin?
