The Bodyguard T240 Treadmill is one of the most impressive machines we’ve tested so far. It features several advanced systems that can and will make your training sessions more pleasant.

The machine comes with a quiet & powerful 2.75 CHP motor and a 54 inches belt including also the BDS system.

The Bodyguard T240 Treadmill is definitely one of the top machines ever built. For only $2000 you get a strong and valuable machine that will keep up with any training program you have in your workout plan.

Conclusions

Until now, we haven’t tested a machine that has so many complex systems. It seems like Bodyguard included an advanced technology for each feature or function installed. Maybe this is the road to success since the Bodyguard T240 treadmill is one of the best training machines we’ve used so far.

This treadmill comes with a powerful 2.75 CHP motor which is one of the quietest devices we’ve tested so far. The belt is 54 inches long and we are very happy with the BDS cushioning system. We would like to have some extra inches in belt’s length but this is not a deal breaker.

The whole assemble features an Advanced Friction Detection System that measures the friction level between belt and deck in real time and prevents the motor from overheating. This system will extend your treadmill’s life with several years.

The console comes with 9 preset programs and what is very surprising is the presence of a Smart Reverse workout for backwards walking.

The treadmill is controlled via several buttons made from silicone. They pretend that these keys resist to over 5 million pushes. And we believe them……

The only minus we found for this treadmill is the absence of the Quick Speed and Incline keys. These are the buttons that allow you to set a certain value without pressing the up and down buttons.

Oh, almost forgot- the warranty is the best we’ve seen so far. Treadmill gives a lifetime warranty for motor and frame, 10 years for parts and 3 years for labor. This will be very hard to beat by other brands.

If you want to buy a machine under $2000 and you see this model just buy it and don’t look at the rest. It is impossible to make a bad choice with this unit.
