Life Fitness t3i Treadmill

Life Fitness has been known for their club quality exercise equipment for years, so when they launched their consumer line of equipment that includes the Life Fitness t3i Treadmill, I was a bit disappointed in their initial offering.

The Life Fitness t3i is a good all around machine that does many things competently.

It delivers decent speed, has an average motor, and some semblance of deck cushioning, but not what you'd expect from this name brand.

On the plus side, they did do a number of things right with this treadmill as I'll get into below...

Life Fitness t3i Treadmill Specs and Features:

  • Lifepulse Digital Heart Rate Monitoring with DSP (Digital Signal Processing)
  • Polar Telemetry - wireless chest strap included
  • 12 different workouts
  • Deluxe 16-character LED message center
  • Up to 10 MPH
  • Flex Deck Shock Absorption

Two of the features that make the t3i appealing from a workout convenience standpoint are the 12 included workouts that are well thought out and cover a broad spectrum of goals, and are easy to track on the t3i's 16 character LED display console.

Then there's the Polar telemetry heart rate monitoring that's built into the machine and helps the treadmill regulate speed and power, giving you a hassle free workout.

The Life Fitness t3i is a good overall treadmill, but when compared to some newer models that cost less, you should keep looking in this price range...
