not a good one. Great brand but Treadmills is their strong point. This is a tank but they do not even make this model or any like it anymore they where such a flop. Try it and if you love the feel great but i would look for a Octane, precor or Life fitness.
I sell home and commercial fitness equipment, so if you have questions on equipment PM me and I will help.

Alright thanks for the advice guys I think I will pass on this one then! I appreciate the help! Saw it used for 400 and thought I'd find out more. Saw some of their models were quite pricey.
