LiveStrong Treadmills

LiveStrong Fitness Brand

LiveStrong Foundation decided to be the image of LiveStrong Fitness in order to endorse their fight against cancer by promoting a healthy life. That is why we now have on the market LiveStrong Fitness Treadmills, Eliptycals and Cycles.

The initial LiveStrong treadmills were launched on the market at the end of 2009, and since then they have had a tremendous success. The image behind these treadmills has influenced people's perception. Many love Lance Armstrong, who represents the LiveStrong brand. That is why they trust it.

Our Reviews

Additional Information

Lance Armstrong's image is not the only factor that determines users to buy their treadmills. The machines they sell come with outstanding features.

The only doubt they prompt is when you find out they are built/designed by Johnson Health Tech, known as the corporation that builds also Horizon, Vision, Matrix and Johnson treadmills.

Yet, the LiveStrong treadmills have a little more than you would expect, even though they are built by Johnson. The quality of the components is the same, but you have a better warranty, and this is the most important point worth mentioning.

In 2011, we selected two of their machines to be in our Best Buy Treadmills top: the LiveStrong Treadmill LS10.0T and the LS13.0T model. In 2012, we've selected 3 LiveStrong Treadmills for our Best Buy top. Our selection was made after considering all the features these treadmills have to offer. LiveStrong machines perform extraordinary compared with other brands in the same price range.

Actually, the LS13.0T may be considered the best LiveStrong Fitness Treadmill, if we compare price/features/warranty for all treadmills they sell. The 2012 models (LSPRO2 and LSPRO1) follow this model's reputation closely.

What do we especially like at the LiveStrong Treadmill in general?

The feature we have appreciated since the beginning is that they have the 'User Profile' functionality included with most of their treadmills. This option allows us to insert our weight and age before starting a workout, which is needed when calculating calories burned with accuracy. This is above what most known brands offer in the $500-$1500 price range.

Another strong feature launched with the latest models is the LiveTrack Interactive. This is a free USB program that allows the user to transfer workouts for free from the main website. Through the same USB system, you can also export workout results to add them to your free account for reports and data comparison. We believe this is a great asset as most treadmill users need a professional trainer's assistance to guide them through the most important exercises, and that is exactly what you receive (all free).

You must also know that LiveStrong are built for home use, not gym use. You can run on it and train even for a marathon, but you can't stress it as it is not built for intensive usage.

From our experience, LiveStrong has very good treadmills. It may be because they are new and they must have a reliable product in order to be noted in such a crowded market. Or perhaps the Lance Armstrong foundation wouldn't approve to represent this brand if it didn't match their reputation.

No matter what the truth may be, we appreciate their models (from design and functionality point of view).
