Carl Lewis Fitness Motx450 Treadmill

Advantages: Cheap.. and that's it!
Disadvantages: Everything Else

...My mum purchased the Carl Lewis MOT20 Running Machine over a year ago for our entire families use, and to be honest with it, I have been fairly disappointed. We bought it on eBay and paid £100 for it, and we thought we had a bargain. Initially, we were very pleased with our purchase, but unfortunately it has not lived up to our expectations. It is a very basic running machine, and looks quite old, dated and clumsy. It is fairly large and is a pain to move around and fit into small gaps.

Disadvantages: Loud. Bouncy. Footplates seem fragile.

...a bit of Googling I came across the Carl Lewis Glide Trainer and found that Amazon are selling it for £79.99 with free Supersaver p&p although I paid extra for next day delivery. If you pop along to the actual Carl Lewis website, you'll see the machine is being sold for £84.50. I then cashed £35 of survey reward vouchers and placed the order. Five previous purchasers had left small reviews, 2 of which were negative so I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. Assembly When I finally got the machine delivered by the courier company which could be a review in itself and proves that sometimes, shouting and being downright rude to people who lie does actually work - I found much to my relief that the machine is about 95% assembled. All I had to do was screw in each arm pole and screw on the front grip pole, clip... Read review
