Reebok treadmills are manufactured by ICON Health and Fitness, one of the largest producers of exercise equipment in the world, who also manufacture brands like Nordic Track, Proform, and Healthrider.
So is the Reebok Vista a good buy for you? Here's a review to help you decide:
Treadmill Stats:
Price: $1299
Motor: 2.75 CHP
Speed: 0 -12 MPH
Incline: 0 -12%
Treadbelt: 20 x 60"
Folding: Yes
7-inch Interactive Flat-Screen TV and Built-In Speakers
Warranty: 20 years on motor, 1 Year Parts and Labor
Strengths:
7-inch Interactive Flat-Screen TV and Built-In Speakers - If you love watching tv while you work out, you'll really like the flat-screen TV. The TV comes cable-ready and you also get built-in speakers.
16 Built-In Workout Programs - You get:
- 10 Personal Trainer workouts which automatically adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill based on the workout goal
- 4 Heart Rate workouts help you stay in your target workout zone by automatically increasing and lowering the speed of the treadmill
- 2 Customizable workouts that you create and save yourself
Extra Long 60" Treadbelt - This is particularly handy for runners and taller people. You can pick up the pace without feeling like you're falling off the treadmill.
2 Blue Backlit Console Displays - These make it easy to read your workout stats. And because they are separate from the TV, you can watch TV while tracking your workout stats at the same time.
One-Touch Incline and Speed Buttons - Instead of scrolling up and down incline or speed options, you just press a button once and the treadmill adjusts to your preferred incline or speed setting. This may seem like a little thing, but it's still quite handy.
Weaknesses:
While the warranty is ok, we would have liked to see a bit more - especially at this price point.
For example, there are other brands that are now putting TVs into their treadmills like Nordic Track. And they come with longer warranties and a few more goodies in terms of cushioning and fitness tracking tools.
Overall Conclusion: Good Value For A TV Treadmill
Overall the Reebok Vista Treadmill offers good value for the money - especially if you want a built-in TV. You also get a decent powered 2.75 HP motor, an extra long 60" belt, one-touch incline and speed options, and an easy-to-read backlit console display. Plus it folds to save space.
While it would be nice to see a longer warranty (especially considering the TV), you can probably pick up extra coverage on checkout.
Also, as stated above, there are other brands like Nordic Track which also put TV's into their machines - many of which offer longer warranties and more fitness tools.
Where To Buy At A Discount:
You can buy the Reebok Vista from the ICON Closeout Store. You can also usually get free shipping and save on sales tax.
