Bowflex Treadclimber 5000 Stair Stepper (Refurbished)

Rating

The Bowflex Treadclimber is a very easy product to use. It is much easier to walk on than a regular treadmill and I love that it gives you the option of a stairstepper. When looking at it online, I did not realize that you could use it three ways: just as a treadmill, just as a stairstep, or a combination of both. I have a busy life style, but the ease of this machine has kept me on my excercise schedule. I have just a few vanity pounds to lose - the scale hasn't budged, but the pants are fitting better, I don't feel as stressed, and I definitely have an increase in energy. I would recommend this machine to anyone of any age. My 15 year old is using it to help strengthen her legs for dance. She likes it a lot.

The treadclimber definitely gives a great workout--after a couple of monthes of use I have the settings pretty well maxed,but it is giving me a very rigorous workout. I have graduated to doing "interval training" in the second half of my workout, running my heart rate from 120 bps to 140 bps just by changing the speed. Upon arrival I set it up by myself (just one difficult lift), and ended up doing some fine tuning (alignment, tracking adjustment, lubrication) as I went along. One squeak annoyed me 'till I finally found the center hinge bracket at the very rear (underneath) and lubed it. The thing runs great now, and I have lost about 20 pounds since I Started using it. Great machine!--Fair Price!

We are extremely happy with this purchase. Looks brand new, delivered quickly (although we received the delivery notice that the product had shipped two days after we received the product....). Purchased this based on reviews on the site which were extremely helpful. Great price and would highly recommend it.

This machine is very easy to use. I have it in front of my t.v. and it is not too loud. The hydraulics were not working when I first assembled it but Overstock sent out new ones and gave me a credit b/c it took a while to get them. They have excellent customer service. The left tread had to be adjusted as it was rubbing on the side. The right treadle also had to be taken off and put back on as it was rubbing on the side. Once these adjustments were made, the machine works well. The two waterbottle holders are very nice as I put the tv remote in one. Took about 4 hours to assemble.

Good product for price. No problems so far. I think it is a great home gym machine. People who buy home gym machines should realize that these products will not feel like a commerical gym machine. If you want a commercial gym machine you will have to fork over a lot more money!!!
