Conclusions
This is the first complex machine we’ve tested so far. Bodyguard included an advanced technology for each feature or function installed, and did a great job in the process. Maybe this is the road to success since the Bodyguard T240 treadmill is one of the best training machines we’ve used so far.
This treadmill comes with a powerful 2.75 CHP, that purrs like a pussycat when in use. The belt is long and wide enough, and we are more than happy with the cushioning system.
The warranty is the best we’ve seen so far. Lifetime warranty for motor and frame, 10 years for parts and 3 years for labor, this is a deal hard to say no to.
If you have the money, go for it.
