LifeSpan treadmills are quite popular these days, as they offer a lot of value for the money. The Utah based company has gained a reputation for making high quality, feature-packed cardio equipment at very affordable prices.
There is something for every user and every fitness level, and you'll find safety features and technology that their competitors don't offer.
Several of their treadmills have received industry awards over the years, and they continue to improve their machines with regular updates and enhancements.
Let's take a look at what they have to offer....
LifeSpan Treadmill Reviews - Current Lineup
There are currently five treadmills to choose from, ranging in price from about $899 all the way up to $1,699. So price wise, they line up with their main competitors: NordicTrack, Sole, ProForm and Horizon.
TR1200i
The TR1200i is their most popular treadmill, and a perennial award winner. It's definitely an entry level machine, but has a lot to offer.
You get compact folding design, a 20" x 56" belt, a 2.5 HP motor, 15 levels of incline, grip and wireless heart rate, great cushioning, a 300 lb. max user weight capacity and 21 built in workout programs so you never get bored.
TR2000e
The TR2000e gives you everything the TR1200i has, with better cushioning, an enhanced display with Bluetooth workout tracking capability and a stronger warranty, among other minor upgrades.
TR3000i
The TR3000i is another step up the ladder, with a slightly more powerful 2.75 HP motor and a bump up to a 400 lb. max user weight.
TR4000i
Built for more serious users, the TR4000i has a roomier running deck at 20" x 60", higher speeds up to 12 mph and a stronger 3.25 CHP motor.
TR5500i
The top of the line LifeSpan treadmill is as good as it gets, with a 4.0 CHP motor, a huge 22" x 60" deck, over 40 built in workout programs as well as incline, decline and top speeds of 13.5 mph.
So as you can see, as you move up in the LifeSpan lineup you get more powerful, more durable machines with larger running surfaces and more powerful motors.

Why You Should Consider LifeSpan Treadmills
There's a lot to like when it comes to LifeSpan treadmills. They are built well and ergonomically designed, putting you in a natural, comfortable position and minimizing impact on your knees and joints.
Here are just a few of the great features...
Easy Folding Capability
All of the company's residential treadmills, from the TR1200i up to the TR5500i, feature EZ folding technology so you can raise and lower the machine in a matter of seconds. This is great for those with limited space, and there are transport wheels to make storage easier.
Great Cushioning
Even the base model has high-end cushioning, with quality compression shock absorbers to minimize impact on your knees, joints and back significantly. This helps you stay on longer and recover faster from intense workouts.
Tons of Workouts
All of the LifeSpan treadmills come with at least 21 built in workout programs, including sports training, weight loss, heart rate and healthy living, so you can change things up from one day to the next, challenging yourself to reach new heights.
Advanced Heart Rate Monitoring
It's rare to find wireless heart rate monitoring on an entry level treadmill, but all of the LifeSpan treadmills have this capability. Wireless monitoring is more accurate than grip, which is helpful especially during heart rate training programs.
Strong Warranties
One telltale sign of quality is a strong warranty, and LifeSpan stands behind all of their treadmills with lifetime coverage on frames and motors, at least 3 years on all parts and at least 1 year of labor.
That's really hard to find these days, and really gives you peace of mind.
LifeSpan Treadmill Buying Tips
1. LifeSpan offers special sale pricing directly on the company website, so that's a good place to start if you are considering one of their treadmills. You can also compare models there very easily, something you can't do on other sites that sell their cardio machines.
2. Look for free shipping, payment plans and money back guarantees. They usually have all of those features when you buy direct.
3. Our Run Reviews favorite model is the TR4000i, so if you have the budget for it that would be the one we'd go with. It's an advanced machine with a larger running area, a more powerful motor and higher speeds than the other treadmills.
