While the Bowflex 7-Series is certainly a high quality treadmill, there is a great deal of competition from other models in this price range, and the 7-Series doesn't quite come out on top. The treadmill features a high powered, heavy duty 3 hp motor that is backed by an impressive 10 year warranty. Another notable feature on this machine is the size of the running surface, measuring 20x60 inches. This is ideal for tall runners or those who really want to lengthen their strides for sprinting. The deck cushioning provides good if not outstanding support. More impressive is the range of workout programs. The 7-Series offers 2 heart rate control programs, 2 custom programs, and 11 other programmed workouts including a body mass index test. If you're someone who has trouble maintaining interest in a regular exercise routine, this treadmill will provide plenty of variation to your workouts. The Bowflex 7-Series is a heavy treadmill but is very stable during use and folds easily for convenient storage.
