Reebok RT1000 Treadmill

One of the biggest stumbling blocks when it comes to training at home using personal fitness equipment is the lack of instruction and advice from the professionals. The same holds true with treadmills. If you want to get the best possible results, you would have to consult the specialists. Reebok just made it a whole lot easier for home users of their treadmills to get professional advice by simply using the Reebok RT1000 treadmill.

The RT1000 treadmill comes with the basic set of features you’d normally look for in a treadmill. It measures in at 123 x 87 x 171 cm. While some may think that the RT1000 is quite bulky, you have to understand that it comes with the FlipDeck system. The FlipDeck folding system allows you to fold the treadmill to almost half its height. This lets you store the treadmill under the bed or into any closet. To go from folded position to ready to use, all you need is to push a single button.

The RT1000 comes with a motor that can provide a speed range of up to 10 miles per hour or 16 km/h. 16 km/h might not be enough for serious runners and athletes but more than enough for those looking for a casual jog or run. One of the biggest flaws of the RT1000 is the small running area. While some treadmill brands go up to 60 x 20 inches, the RT1000 only has 55 x 18 inches of running deck space. While runners with a small build might not notice the difference, taller runners might feel a bit cramped. If you want to simulate running up a hill, you can adjust the inclination of the RT1000 machine. It can go from 0% incline, which is flat, up to 10% power incline. For safety, Reebok included in the RT1000 an emergency stop facility which can easily be triggered if needed. To take note of your progress, a 4 CLD window display shows your speed, the time, distance traveled, as well as calories burned.

What makes the RT1000 stand out among other treadmills is its integration with iFit.com. iFIT.com can be operated through 3 different sources: via CD, a video cassette, and even the Internet. It can easily control the speed and incline of your treadmill based on the program that you want. It is just like having your personal trainer in a commercial gym. If you can stand the small running space and would like to have the benefit of an instructor in the comfort of your own home, then the RT1000 might just be the treadmill you are looking for.
