    Deck and Design:

           

                 

    • … sturdy deck
      An often underestimated component of an exercise treadmill is the deck. The design and quality of the material the deck is made from can radically alter the performance of the treadmill.
    •            

    • … 15 levels of deck incline
      The running deck can be adjusted to give 15 levels of incline. Most of the in-built workout programs incline the running deck so that you can simulate walking or running uphill. The user also has the facility to adjust the incline level using the buttons on the control console or by using the incline buttons on the handlebars.
    •            

    • … folding design
      If you are concerned that you haven’t enough room to store an exercise treadmill, this model addresses this problem with its folding design. This facility allows you to fold the treadmill into a near upright position after your workout, where it will then occupy a much smaller floor area.
