Image 17.0 R Treadmill Review

This sturdy, and well built treadmill is driven by a 1.5 CHP Velocity Motor. The Image 17.0R has a 18” x 52” belt and comes with 6 personal trainer workout programs. AirSoft impact reducing cushioning supports the the running surface, whilst a Dual-Grip precision response heart rate monitor is used to check your pulse.

At the heart of the treadmill is a 1.5 CHP motor which is both smooth and very quite. It has plenty of power for walking, jogging, and running. If you plan on running, you shouldn’t consider anything less than this model.

The deck of the treadmill also has AirSoft impact reducing cushioning reduces impact on your joints to ensure that you feel good both during and after your exercise session.

The model comes with with lots of different electronics, made to make your workout easier, safer, and more enjoyable.

The console has an easy-to-read ClearView Backlit Display (good for darker rooms).

The display tells you how many calories you have burned, the distance you have run, the speed you are at, and lots more.

The “MyStep” step counter keeps track of each step you take, while the RaceTrack progress monitor shows you visually where you’re at in your workout. I feel this is a very handy visual reference.

This model also comes with a number of built in performance programs. The six built-in personal trainer workouts each offer fitness routines to get you in shape and make your workout more interesting.

Another important feature is the Dual-Grip Precision Response Heart Rate Monitor. This takes your pulse using both of your thumbs and displays it right between your thumbs. Using two thumbs is far more accurate than devices that use only one.

To make sure that you do not get too hot and sticky during your fitness workout the twin CoolAire fans blow cooling air over you to keep you comfortable every step of the way.
