Why We Like It
The console of the Livestrong LS7.9T Treadmill is very user-friendly. It comes with its own fitness journal to help you keep track of your workout progress and goals. It supports mp3 connections too; just plug in your iPod and you can work out to music you like.
Despite being an entry level product, it comes with a 2 year warranty on its parts – something that most low-end machines do not have. Livestrong also offers to extend this warranty for another year (for $99 down from $199).
Let’s not forget the fact that a portion of the sales go to the Livestrong Cancer Foundation. You’ll be working out with a cause.
What We Don’t Like About It
It’s not as quiet as some machines are in the same price range; but this is attributed to its powerful motor. Many treadmills can be set to go at 15% incline leaving the Livestrong LS7.9T behind.
Recommendations
At $799, the Livestrong LS7.9T is still a good deal – considering its warranty. The LS7.9T was initially designed for walkers although with its 12mph speed cap, you can experience a full running workout with this baby. Definitely recommended for first time treadmill shoppers.
