Reebok Fitness treadmills are manufactured by ICON Health and Fitness, one of the largest producers of exercise equipment in the world.
They also manufacture brands like Nordic Track, Proform, Image, Epic and Healthrider.
Reebok offers a number of economy to mid-priced treadmills starting around $799. These treadmills also get a boost because many people like the Reebok name.
Reebok home treadmills used to be more popular however the brand hasn't really kept up with other ICON brands like Nordic Track or Proform over the past few years.
In fact, it's not uncommon to see a 'new' Reebok model that looks very much like an older Nordic Track model.
Strengths:
#1) Large walking areas - Many of the newer Reebok models have large treadbelt walking areas - up to 60" long. This is handy for taller users or those who want to pick up the pace. The belt widths are also mostly 20" wide which helps give you a more spacious area when walking.
#2) Decent Treadmill "Extras" - Like other ICON brands you can find several of the higher end Reeboks with built-in TV's, built in speakers, music ports, plenty of workout programs, workout fans and more.
While these things aren't necessary, they can still get you excited about using your treadmill and getting in shape.
#3) Fairly Positive Reviews - These treadmills do get fairly positive reviews from consumers. The average user rating (as of this writing) was about 4 out of 5 stars.
In the few positive reviews we have come across, the most popular feature of Reebok treadmills are the sturdy feel and the larger walking areas.
Weaknesses:
Many of the older Reebok models come with shorter warranties (i.e. 90 days). This lack of warranty protection tells you what kind of quality you're buying. It also means you could be out a lot of money to fix the treadmill if something goes wrong after 90 days.
Also, as stated above many Reebok models are similar to older Nordic Track models - at the same or higher prices. So we'd probably spring for a newer Nordic Track model - which usually gives you more value for the money as models tend to improve every year.
Conclusion:
Reebok home treadmills are manufactured by ICON - the largest fitness equipment manufacturer in the world. Reebok units aren't as popular as some of the other ICON brands but you can still find them kicking around in department stores or online.
They do offer some interesting goodies like speakers, music ports, plenty of workout programs, workout fans and more.
Personally however, we would not choose a Reebok over a Nordic track or a Sole which have longer warranties, stronger construction and higher expert ratings.
Where To Buy At A Discount:
You can often get Free Shipping as well which can save you about $150.
