Lifespan TR 1000 Treadmill Review
The LifeSpan TR1000 Treadmill
The console is not very advanced but it works out in the end. It has a large blue backlit display where 11 preset workouts and one custom program are listed as training options. The system comes also with Weight Management and Heart Health features.
The Lifespan TR 1000 treadmill is definitely a top machine for the budget class. If you are looking to spend less than $1000 and buy a folding treadmill then you should seriously consider this model.

Conclusions For Lifespan TR 1000 Treadmill Review
This is definitely one of the best machines we’ve seen so far for the under $1000 category. The Lifespan TR 1000 features a 2.0 CHP motor that ensures the required power for a standard workout. Even if they say that it has only 2.0 CHP, this motor acts like a 3.0 one.
The running space is generous, supported by a belt 20 inches wide and 56 inches long. For $1000 this is the best you can get. The suspension system (aka cushioning system – Lifespan loves to reinvent the wheel) is formed of eight Variable Density Elastomers that ensure good joint protection.
The console has a decent design, nothing ugly or too fancy and it includes a My Zone Heart Rate Control program and a Body Mass Analysis function. There are also 6 incline and 5 speed programs. Training information is listed on a nice large blue backlit display.
What we don’t like is the lack of quick speed & incline buttons. Most manufacturers add these buttons on the side bar. If the treadmill has a top speed of 10 mph you have 10 quick speed control buttons. One for the 1 mph speed, another one for the 2 mph speed and so on.
These controls are very appreciated by all users but in our case Lifespan put only 4 such controls. Not a deal breaker but definitely something they can improve..
This machine is one of the best in the budget class. The core parts may be the best on the market but the whole assemble has a good value.
As a conclusion for the Lifespan TR 1000 treadmill review: If you have a $1000 to buy a treadmill put this model on top of the list. The TR 1000 is not the most charming machine but your money will be well spent.
