If you’re reading this review, it must be because you’re looking for an amazing running experience. You’ve come to the right place, as the Pacemaster Premiere EXT is really the treadmill you need for advanced workouts. You won’t have the entertainment and internet options, but if you’re a serious runner, you don’t really need them. We highly recommend this treadmill.

Pacemaster Premiere EXT is by far a great, high quality treadmill built for avid runners who are permanently looking to outrun themselves. The running surface is large and long enough to support heavier and taller users, so you won’t be limited in any way.

We were surprised by the sturdy and powerful motor. We thought it would rattle and shake and make annoying noise. But it didn’t. This motor can back up the most intense workouts available on the console, while remaining silent and still. It was quite impressive.

Then, there is the cushioning system that is as efficient as the motor. We really pushed ourselves on the Premiere EXT, and at the end of the workout, we felt no stress or pain or anything.

When it comes to workouts, this is the unit of any runner’s dreams. For weight loss, there are 4 workouts you can use to shed the extra pounds and tone your muscles. You also get 5 target heart rate workouts, and you know what that means: super intense cardio!

Of course, you get to enter weight and age, incline, speed and target heart rate.

As you figured it out by now, there are 3 customizable workouts that you can manage to match your exact requirements and, last but not least, 6 personal trainer workouts. So you see, you may not have the entertainment, but you do have the motivational support. This machine will keep you wired in a consistent fitness program.

We like Pacemaster because it has cool features that make workouts so dynamic and interesting, like the Virtual Reality Courses, Heart Rate Performance Review or Fitness Evaluator. It’s great having the opportunity to review your performance so that you have a clear idea on how you’re improving your workouts.

We can only conclude that Pacemaster Premiere EXT is one of the best treadmills on the market. It has the power, the support, functionality, motivational feedback and innovative features that will only keep you running. For $ 3000, Premiere EXT is an excellent purchase. You may also find it on sale, so make sure you have your eyes wide open.
