Spirit XT9 Treadmill Review

This model features a powerful 3.0 HP continuous motor that makes the Spirit XT9 treadmill smooth, reliable, and quiet operation. The innovative, electronic console includes 10 built-in workout programs to help keep you motivated during your workout.

Driving the tread belt is a powerful 3.0 HP continuous duty motor (usually only found in more expensive treadmills) which allows speeds of 0.5-10 mph.

The tread belt runs over oversized rollers that take on more of the motor’s workload so that it runs cooler. Their large size also creates a decreased belt tension that will work to extend the life of the machine’s bearings. The 2.5″ diameter rollers are the largest in their class.

The built-in programs include 5 preset programs, one manual program, and 2 customizable programs, one manual program, and two heart rate control programs to keep you motivated. Each of theses program has a specific key for convenient access.

The generous control panel monitors the essential fitness statistics and presents them in an easy to read LCD display. Dual fans integrated into the console will work to keep you cool.

Mounted in the hand rails are contact sensors to measure heart rate together with controls for speed and incline located directly on the handrails.

The Spirit XT9 is a folding treadmill that folds up and out of the way when you’re fitness workout is done. It has four transport wheels for better ease of movement.
