TreadClimber TC1000 is one of the first products Bowflex released in the Treadclimbers Series. It has a few years on the market so you can imagine that it’s already obsolete equipment in comparison with its competition.

Since it was first launched on the market (4-5 years ago), the price decreased a lot. This is because meanwhile new versions have been released on the market (like TC3000, TC5000, Nautilus Mobia, TC5500).

Now you can buy it at $1,200 from Bowflex. But from our point of view it’s still a high price for what it offers.

Bowflex Treadclimber TC1000 Special Features

Display:

On the display you see the following exercise feedback, while you’re working out:

- Time (minutes:seconds)

- Distance Display (miles)

- Speed (miles per hour)

Workout Setting Cylinders:

All Bowflex Treadclimbers use Hydraulic Resistance Cylinders, with 12 levels of intensity.

The efficiency secret for each workout is to choose the firmness level that suits you, your weight, fitness level, belt speed and how deep you want to step.

These parameters are not listed in the console. You have to look for this info in the User Manual.
For example, at 143 pounds I weigh I chose Level 11 to workout, and 2 mph speed. But I have a 3 year running experience behind me.

Be aware of the ‘bottom out’ effect which happens when the treadles bump against the base because you use too much force.

The Cylinders are changed when you are off the treadmill. Move the knobs only clockwise to level 12 and counterclockwise to level 1.

Workouts:

You have no weight input setting, and no Workout Level on the console. The only control you have during workout is the Cylinders levels (read the previous feature).

Treadmill workout: lock the treadles and start working out. During exercise you can control only speed values.

Stair Stepper Workout: Don’t push Start button. Just climb. No info will be displayed during workout.

Treadclimber Workout: Push Start and control Speed level settings.

Other features:

- Safety Key Port
- Side Foot Support Platform
