@ ashley – The treadclimbers work the legs, the buttocks, the abs and the back muscles. The treadles are the trick. The treadmill works only at 0% incline if you unify the treadles. The treadclimber is similar to when you climb the stairs: you go up and you move forward at the same time. The motor keeps the treadles belt moving while you exercise. The elliptical move is standard. The treadclimber mode is what makes this model interesting. We hope this info helps!

Im wondering what parts of the body this machine works. Obviously the legs yes, but what else? And how is it an eliptical, treadmill, and treadclimber in one?

@Alexa, there are several differences between workouts on a treadclimber and the incline trainer. I’ll mention just those which for me are the most important. On the Bowflex Treadclimber 5500 version you have ‘climbing’ exercises and treadmill exercises (but in the limit of 4mph). This means you workout at a slow pace. On the Incline Trainer you can do same exercises, but you can also run at high speed. Not to mention the price difference which is very large for the features each manufacturer sells. Read the comparison review( http://www.runreviews.com/bowflex-treadmills/mobia-vs-treadclimber-vs-incline-trainer/). You’ll find useful details there as well.

Wondering if the workout is any different between the treadclimber and the incline trainer. Especially with respect to the “core” training so emphasized by the treadclimber materials.

@Ryan – The comparison will be between Mobia and Treadclimber 5500 as for now it’s the only Bowflex machine we could test. These machines work the legs pretty hard. The secret is to choose the appropriate resistance cylinders intensity to match your body weight and training level.

when u do a comparison between the mobia and treadclimber can u tell us which treadclimber model most resemb les the mobia (the 3000? the 5000?) Do u know the main difference between the treadclimber 5000 and 5500? I heard the mobia has shorter treadles than the treadclimber… do these machines really work your leg muscles like a stair stepper does?
