Bowflex Treadmill 10 – Review

Bowflex has a reputation of creating fitness equipment that is of high quality and delivers good value and it has provided the same when it comes to treadmills. The Bowflex Treadmill 10 is one of the solid choices available in the market, as this cardio machine provides you with sturdy construction, top-notch technology and some useful add-ons. It comes with a number of cool features that are now in-demand when it comes to cardio machines.

The Workout Experience

After you have placed the Bowflex Treadmill 10 in the location of your choice, you should plug it in. While it is possible to fold this treadmill to reduce its footprint when you are not using it, this does not mean that the treadmill folds flat. Even when folded, it is not easy to move the treadmill. But, a large footprint means that it offers a bigger running deck, which is 60 inches long and 22 inches wide. The speed cap is 12 miles per hour, but the motor power has not been disclosed by Bowflex.

It also offers both incline and decline training options. The stability of the deck is also impressive and you do not have to worry about any shaking. The Bowflex Treadmill 10 weighs about 300 pounds and has a weight capacity of 400 pounds. It has very user-friendly controls and the pulse grips attached to the handles allow you to measure your heart rate. There are easy-to-access buttons that can also be found on the handles, which enable you to change the speed and incline with just a tap.

There are jump buttons for incline and speed that you can find on the display if you want to increase quickly.

Footprint and Portability

Bear in mind that the Bowflex Treadmill 10 is huge and takes up a sizable amount of space. But, the 85 x 39.6 x 65.3 measurements also make the machine quite stable. As it weighs above 320 pounds, it is extremely heavy and does not fold flat. The wheels used for moving this machine are also very small and it is not very portable. Nonetheless, you are unlikely to have any complaints about its longevity and durability.

Technology

There is a 10-inch touchscreen included on the Bowlfex Treadmill 10 and it has a nice picture quality, even if the size may be a bit small. You can use a ton of streaming apps on it, such as Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Prime and HBO Max. But, you need a JRNY subscription, which is the interactive programming service that Bowflex offers with its machines. While it is cheaper than iFIT, it is not as good, as the classes are average. The touchscreen also comes with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities.

Pros

• Soft-drop folding system
• Incline and decline options
• A large deck and comfortably cushioned belt
• Intuitive controls

Cons

• Extremely heavy
• Difficult to assemble

The Verdict

As long as you are not tight on space, the Bowflex Treadmill 10 is an excellent mid-range option, which can offer you stability and freedom to run.
