Bowflex 7 Series Treadmill

The Bowflex Series 7 Treadmill is the top end of the Bowflex treadmill lineup which also features the Bowflex Series 3 Treadmill and the Bowflex Series 5 Treadmill.

Now we're getting into the big leagues with Bowflex. The Series 7 treadmill is the only treadmill from Bowflex that I would buy for my own home gym.

That's not to disparage the 3 Series and 5 Series too much, it's just the 7 Series is a much better all around treadmill that I can't make a case for either of the others (the Treadclimber included).

For starters Bowflex packed a powerful 3.0 hp motor into the 7 series that will handle about anything you can throw at it. The larger motor makes for a smooth ride, and allows even larger users to run comfortably without worry about putting too much strain on the machine.

The added bonus with the larger motor is an increase of top end speed with the series 7, which tops out at a FAST 11 mph.

Key features of the Bowflex Series 3 Treadmill:

15 programs, including 2 HRC, 2 user-defined and a BMI test
Large 20" x 60" live running area
3-speed fan cools you during exercise
Quick Incline and Quick Speed keys
Fold-up treadmill uses SoftDrop decline technology
Grip and telemetric heart rate monitors
Strike Zone deck suspension

There are a few other advantages to choosing the Bowflex 7 Series over the Series 3 and Series 5 treadmills that are deal makers.

The first is the telemetric heart rate control that will adjust the treadmill speed automatically to your heart rate, and the second is a user weight rating of 300 pounds and the third is the large commercial style 2.5" rollers that are built to last.

If the higher price tag of the Series 7 is a turn off, take a look at my best treadmill section of the website to get a recommendation that will fit your budget.

Bowflex hit the mark with the 7 Series treadmill. If you're looking for a treadmill in this price range, the Bowflex 7 Series should definitely be on your list for consideration.
