Reviews and Additional Info

People know FreeMotion treadmills as home products and commercial products. Their catalog includes treadmills with advanced entertainment options (such as TV consoles, iPOD docks, sound system), different motors, different cushion systems, various preset workouts (including the iFIT LIVE compatibility). There are also options for beginners, or advanced athletes.

The light commercial and commercial ranges are quite expensive. Even if they are all extremely sturdy machines, we personally prefer the Life Fitness models for commercial treadmills.

FreeMotion offers strong warranty options for each of their series. For the commercial series, the warranty includes lifetime for motor and frame, 3 years for parts and 3 years for labor. The light commercial series warranty includes lifetime frame, 3 years for parts and motor and 3 years for labor. The home treadmills series comes with a lifetime warranty for motor and frame, 5 years for parts and 2 years for labor.

The FreeMotion Incliners (same as NordicTrack Incliners) have an exceptionally favourable reputation for those interested to lose weight. The challenge to workout at high incline makes the time spent on the incliner efficient. If you are not a big fan of running, this treadmill version is a viable option to consider.

Main Strengths

Warranty: The warranty value depends on the treadmill's series. The minimum you can receive is 2 years for labor and 5 for parts (for a $1200 home treadmill). This is a competitive offer, and it reflects the FreeMotion treadmills quality correctly.

iFIT LIVE: In 2011 Icon Fitness released an improved version of iFIT LIVE, with touch screen controls based on Google Android technology. This improved version can be found on some new FreeMotion treadmills (home products), and you can get it at a extremely reasonable price.

Weaknesses

High Price: If you are interested in buying a FreeMotion treadmill for home use and light jogging only, your options start with minimum $1,300 and can go up to $3,500. Light Commercial models (that can be used for more intensive running) have a start-up price of $3,000 and can go up to $5,500. For this price, there are better alternatives to consider.

Buying Tips

FreeMotion is one of the top brands Icon Fitness owns. Their products start with minimum $1,200 price and can go up to $8,400. Some machines are worth the investment, other not. You can find all the details in our reviews' conclusions.

If you are interested in a home gym treadmill, we warmly recommend considering any FreeMotion machine within $2,000 - $2,500 value. For commercial use, we would recommend choosing other brands that offer more features for the same price as FreeMotion.
