After some head scratching I decided that the 'Reebok I RUN... Read review

.... It is not possible to audition them all in your home environment. The gym I attended was equipped with Life Fitness machines, I liked the style and feel. I was used to its graphical display and so I chose that brand. This review is my experience of the specific model. I have been unable to carry out comparative testing. The Life Fitness 4500HR Treadmill This model is amongst the upper range of treadmills and is a heavy weight piece of kit. Alhough this is an American company they do distribute a European model (which affects the read-outs on the display screen) and we bought it via the internet (www.r2bf.com). With mat it cost £ 1722.49. It was delivered from stock and set up by a technician in our garage.
