Conclusions:
The Bowflex 3 Series is part of a folding treadmills line created by the same company. There are the 3 Series, the 5 Series and the 7 Series. As you might have realized from its name this model is the low end version.
The assembling process for this model is very straightforward because parts are labeled and assembly pictures are really self explanatory. This is a heavy machine and it’s almost impossible to be moved by a one person only. Make sure you have someone to help you when the treadmill is delivered.
This machine is part of a success series and you will see this as soon as you start using it. Even if the motor is not a very powerful one it will easily do the job. The machine is a solid one and in spite of not having the spark of a Bowflex 7 Series it will win your heart very fast.
Overall the Bowflex 3 Series treadmill is a highly recommended machine for those who have only $1000 to spend. If you are a heavy trainer/runner and still want a Bowflex, you can look for the 5 or 7 Series.
