Product Description
Most treadmills are frightfully expensive, with bulky electric motors that power the treadmill while jacking up the price. No so the Denise Austin Easy-Up manual treadmill, which asks the user to power the belt instead. The treadmill is outfitted with a heavy-duty weighted flywheel and a sturdy running belt that respond to your walking/jogging speed. The faster you run, the faster the belt spins, letting you reach whatever speed is comfortable. At the same time, the treadmill isn't completely low tech, as it offers a single-button electronics display that tracks your speed, distance, time, and calories (includes two AA batteries). And users with small homes or apartments will love the spring-loaded pull pin, which lets you fold up the treadmill, lock it in place, and store it in a closet or garage. The Easy-Up treadmill--which is endorsed by Denise Austin, one of America's premier fitness authorities--comes with a water bottle and a Denise Austin indoor walking video and measures 46.5 by 50 by 21.1 inches (W x H x D). It also carries a 90-day warranty on parts and a one-year warranty on the frame.

Customer Reviews

►Extremely unstable. Hard to walk on the belt. Additionally, I get static shocks from holding on to the metal bars on the sides therefore I need to grip the rubber part on top but that makes walking even more unstable. It is not a "smooth quiet operation" as the ad states. I will return the item. I wish I had not thrown away the box. I know I will never use it now. It is a waste of time and money.

►This product was pretty much what I expected. It was not too difficult to assemble. However, it should come with some lubricant for the belt, it was a bit "jerky" at the beginning. After using some lubricant on the belt it was much smoother.
