Review

Spirit Z8 Treadmill - this is a space saver (folding) treadmill that has a 18 " x 50" running surface that is driven by a 2.0 HP continuous duty motor capable of driving the belt at speeds of up to 10 mph and inclines of up to 11 deg. of grade.

The Spirit Z8 has 5 pre-programmed workouts and two user defined programs. The user defined programs allow the user to customize elements of the program to their liking and then store the program so that it may be used on subsequent occassions.

The console has an LCD display that tracks all relevant workout data and there are "quickspeed" buttons on the console that enable the user to jump to one of a number of set speeds instead of adjusting the speed incremently. There are also buttons on the console that perform a similar function for the incline settings.

The side handles also have ergonomically positioned buttons that allow the speed and incline to be adjusted without having to lean forward to press the buttons on the console.

The Spirit Z8 is equipped with a heart rate monitoring function which is initiated by placing your hands on the sensors mounted in the handlebars that extend from the console.

Summary:

The Spirit Z8 is a space saver (folding) treadmill which means that it can be folded into a near upright position after use so that it then occupies less floor space. With a 18 " x 50" treadbelt powered by a 2.0 HP continuous duty motor it can sustain speeds of up to 10 mph and has an incline that is adjustable within the range of 0 - 11 deg.

There are five inbuilt preset workouts and three user defined workouts that may be customized by the user to his or her liking and then stored for use on subsequent occasions. A number of "Quickspeed" buttons on the console allow the user to "jump" to a specific speed or incline setting without having to make incremental adjustments.

Heart rate monitoring is taken care off by twin sensors on the handgrips.
