Livestrong LS9.9T

Features

Conclusions

The fact that is a new brand, this is a good feature. They try to offer competitive features in a good price range so they can convince you to buy it and recommend to your friends to do the same. Plus, the company who manufactures Livestrong treadmills and is behind the brand’s marketing strategy has been in this market for over 35 years. Their technology is already tested. Now they are trying to expand and win new segments under a new look, brand and strategy.

Livestrong LS9.9T has some small minuses though. Most important we noticed is that the cushion system is pre-installed (3 firmness levels added). So, for example, if you prefer a firmer running surface because you weigh more or you want to run faster, you have to run in the back of the belt. Don’t do so, because you won’t make it safe and sound. The idea is that an adjustable cushion system is more practical and useful to use.

The treadmill comes with the innovative LIVETRACK journal, but it still doesn’t allow entering your personal info like weight and age. These details are very helpful to calculate an approximate number of calories burned which would be more useful in your diet.

But the other preset workouts are very nice and challenging. You can’t get bored easily and this is a great detail.

We also used the console to test our iPod and it works pretty well. The sound of the motor is low and the sound from the speakers is clear enough to feel comfortable when using this feature, even at high speed.

The next comment is not necessarily a Livestrong weakness or a strong point, just a real fact: the treadmill is heavy. It’s so heavy that you can’t move it around easily. But for the price paid this is a normal behavior.

Also, make sure you assemble the treadmill where you use it because it’s very hard to move.

In conclusion, Livestrong LS9.9T is an offer which you can’t overlook. It is powerful enough to keep up with 5k, 10 k or speed intervals very well and we strongly recommend it for this type of exercises.

As we said at the beginning, this treadmill is not capable to keep up with long time training. For this intensity level, you need a more powerful machine.
