INTRO After the sudden death of my 7 year old Pro-form treadmill it was time to start looking for something to replace it with but being somewhat out of pocket (probably due to credit crunch/petrol prices) my budget was under £400. I must say I didn't think that I'd be able to get much treadmill for my money.
FINDING A TREADMILL I started my searching on the Internet with a firm called fitness-superstore http://www.fitness-superstore.co.uk, which has a great range of low priced treadmills and I soon became zapped by the latest designs and specifications of the new range of treadmill on the market. As I set my budget at under £400 this helped me to narrow my searching and leave me with 3 possible treadmills that met my needs, the makes were Pro-form, Weslo, Reebok. After some head scratching I decided that the 'Reebok I RUN treadmill' was the best value for money at £299 (reduced from £599) and this lead me to do a thorough Internet search using Kelkoo and some other compare price sites. Argos (www.argos.co.uk) came up trumps for the 'Reebok I RUN treadmill' offering 6 months buy now pay later interest free with the same great price of £299. I must say the service from Argos has been exceptional from the ordering on the phone to the speedy 3 day delivery of the treadmill. 'REEBOK I RUN TREADMILL' My first impressions on the Reebok I RUN treadmill was WOW, looked great and streamlined (already assembled and ready to go). It didn't take me long before I was running and working up a sweat on my new fantastic Reebok treadmill. The blue display console on the Reebok treadmill is nicely positioned and simple to read the speed/distance/time from. The 'Reebok I RUN treadmill' is well built and for the price I paid offers true value in every way. Also I like to point out that the treadmill folds up very well and can be stored flat or upright.
Reebok offer 2 years parts and labour and 10 years on their motor for piece of mind.

SUMMARY I'm extremely happy with my new 'Reebok I RUN treadmill', it has all the basic features that I need for my casual workout such as distance/time/speed/calories also the feel and look of the treadmill is superb. For the price I paid for the Reebok I RUN treadmill' (£299) I believe that's truly outstanding value and I would have no hesitation in recommending this fabulous treadmill. May I point out that I'm not a fitness fanatic but I do like to keep in shape, well try to LOL and I know there's plenty of bigger/better treadmills out there but the compact 'Reebok I RUN treadmill' does the job and does it extremely well. As I mentioned earlier Argos (www.argos.co.uk) offered the best deal for the 'Reebok I RUN treadmill' with interest free buy now pay 6 months later but it's still worth doing a search.on the Internet for the best deals around like Kelkoo (www.kelkoo.co.uk) to compare prices. 9/10

Bit beyond our price but the pics are handy to see the true space needed to accomodate it. The computer screen seems very basic though. For a £500 machine I would expect a little man running on a gradient.
