—————
The LifeSpan TR1000 Treadmill features a 2.0 CHP motor that may seem powerless, when in fact has more than enough energy to keep the whole assemble running like a charm. The machine comes also with a generous running area and a very good suspension system.
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 $1,000 and buy a folding treadmill then you should seriously consider this model.

Conclusions
This is definitely one of the best machines we’ve seen so far for its price. It features a motor strong enough to ensure 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. The suspension system ensures good joint protection.
We don’t like the lack of quick speed & incline buttons. Most manufacturers add these buttons on the sidebar and we like them.
If you have a $1,000 to buy a treadmill put this model on top of the list.
