Reviews and Additional Info

Bowflex invests more resources in producing and selling treadclimbers than in treadmills manufacturing. Treadclimbers are designed for weight loss workouts and they combine two simultaneous moves: climbing stairs and walking. Some models support also a third mode (treadmills) by allowing users to connect the two treadles in one. In this mode, the treadmill can support only light jogging.

Bowflex treadclimbers have been on the market for years, since 2003. Over the years Nautilus, Inc. (the owner of this brand) has brought improvements to the features and components of all models. Our favorite model the Bowflex Treadclimber TC10 (2011 version).

A competitor for Bowflex Treadclimbers is the Nautilus Mobia Treadclimber. They have different designs, but in the end both the same manufacturer produces both, that is why key components are almost identical.

* Bowflex no longer produces the Bowflex 3, 5 and Series Treadmills, Bowflex TreadClimbers TC3000, TC5000, TC5500 and TC1000.
