Taking a look at this Reebok 8700 ES treadmill I really like it. It is a fold up treadmill which can save you a little bit of space in your room or where ever you place your treadmill. This type of folding treadmill is easy to fold up unlike others which are bulky and heavy to raise.  The Reebok 8700 also has a nice audio system which is compatible with Ipod.  You can also view your workouts and or weight loss programs on this treadmill clearly on the display unlike some other treadmills.

More features of this Reebok brand top rated treadmill that make it a cut above some other treadmills for this price.

Warranty:

You get a lifetime warranty on the motor and 1 year parts and labor. This seems to be a great deal but be sure to always check out the finer details of the warranty to make sure their are no hidden fee’s etc.

Heart rate monitor:

This treadmill like many others has a heart rate monitor built into the grips.  However I find that the heart rate monitor on this treadmill is erratic and inaccurate. Sometimes treadmills just are not meant to do some things.

Display Panel:

I like the display panel on the 8700 ES. It’s clean and organized. Not cluttered and small. The lcd display is just about the correct size for almost anyone to clearly see their treadmill workout plans. The buttons and menus are a breeze on the display panel and you can easily select your workouts and speed of the treadmill quickly. It has 10 customizable treadmill workout plans and 4 learning plans that you can choose from as well as a quick treadmill speed control that allows you to select 1-10 easily.

Full Stride Cushioned running deck:

The running deck on this Reebok treadmill provides you with some really nice support that is not typical of a treadmill this price. The support of the belt and running deck takes the stress off of your joints and knees, unlike running on the street. Reebok really stepped it up on the running deck with their Full stride DMX cushion deck.

Ipod powered equlized audio system:

The audio that comes out of this treadmill is nice. Its a bit better than some other models that have sound systems. Reebok has been stepping up their game on the audio and visual aspects of their recent treadmills. Some even have tv’s on treadmills.

Intense workout plans:

This treadmill fitness equipment has some intense workouts built in it. You can run the Boston marathon or just a 1/2 of a Marathon. Some other treadmill workout plans  are 5k, and the 10k runs. These are some really intense workouts and are a great addition on this treadmill. You will definitely have motivation and always work hard on this treadmill because of the intense treadmill exercises. You can easily lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks if you work hard.

Fold up design:

The deisgn of this folding treadmill really make it stand apart from some of the typical treadmills at this price. It’s not bulky or heavy to lift while folding. Also you actually get quite a bit more space back when you do fold this treadmill up. Some other treadmills fold up but they are still in the way it seems like. This one tucks away nicely!

weight Capacity:

This treadmill has a weight capacity at 325 that is a bit more than others so I’m glad to see one treadmill company stepping it up on this. However they still need to provide a lower priced machine that allows a bit more weight.

Incline 12%

Speed 12 mph

The price of this treadmill at most online shops is $799 with a retail price of close to $1500.

I find that this Reebok 8700 ES treadmill is a great value for the price and all of the features. It is a top rated treadmill for the price and value in my opinion.
