BodyCraft 1120 Folding Treadmill

Treadmill Product Description

A great walking treadmill at an economical price, the BodyCraft 1120 folding treadmill will keep you feeling fit even as the weather outside turns dismal. The 1120 is distinguished by a 1.75-horsepower, continuous-duty motor that delivers a smooth, challenging workout, along with a 52-by-18-inch running surface with eight kinetic energy dampers to cushion the knees and joints. Users also have their choice of eight preset workout programs and one specially designed body-fat program, depending on their skill and preference levels. As an alternative, users can adjust the treadmill manually via the quick keys, with a speed range of 0.5 to 10 miles per hour and a maximum incline of 10 percent.

Want feedback on your workout? Turn to the built-in console, with a five-window LED display that tracks your speed, time, distance, incline, pulse, and calories burned. Best of all, the treadmill folds into a compact footprint when your workout is done, making storage and transport easy. Other details include hand-grip sensors that read your heart rate, a one-ply (1.8 mm) running belt, and a weight capacity of 275 pounds.

About Treadmills
Walking is still considered one of the most beneficial cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels. As a fundamental form of aerobic training, walking has numerous physical benefits for the heart, lungs, and circulatory system, while also increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories. Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all weather conditions in the comfort and safety of your own home.

From beginners just starting an exercise regimen to advanced athletes looking to maintain their fitness level, anyone interested in getting and staying in shape can benefit greatly from regular use of a treadmill. Treadmills allow you to determine the pace, distance, and complexity of the workout based on your needs, all while watching television, talking on the telephone, or reading a magazine. Much easier on sensitive joints like the knees and hips, treadmill walking and running surfaces are typically long, padded platforms that allow ample room for a long stride and comfortable, low-impact walk or jog without the harsh contact of a concrete surface.

While many different types, styles, and price ranges of treadmills exist, many of them offer unique features like a fold-up design for easy storage, an electronic display monitor showing speed, distance, workout time, incline level, and burned calories, and EKG grip pulses to monitor the heart rate while exercising. Regardless of the simple to complex features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting beneficial cardiovascular results without a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.

Review Date: December 14, 2007
Reviewer: Hunter,
This review is for the BodyCraft TR1120 being sold by [...] Amazon.com.

I had budgetary restraints and needed to stay below [...] but didn't want a disposable treadmill. After reading online at different exercises equipment review sites, I felt comfortable with giving the TR1120 a try. I liked that it has a good warranty, which you can find in an Internet search. I was a little concerned that nobody had reviewed this unit at Amazon, even though some have purchased it here. I took a 50/50 chance and hit the order button.

The unit shipped free and came about 10 days after I ordered it. Home Gym Central responded right away any time I emailed them about shipping questions. The treadmill came by Estes Express lines. The driver helped me bring it in the house. It was a breeze to set up. It comes all together except for a couple screws needed to hold the console up. In less than 15 minutes, I had it out of the box and was running on it. So far we have no complaints. It is very sturdy. We love the speed and incline controls on the hand grip.

Thought it might be helpful if someone took the time to review this treadmill.
Great purchase, easy to set up

Awesome! I have a Mastiff puppy who needed walking. She now will jump on the treadmill and look at me to turn it on. I use it too. For the price range, it is smooth, well padded, noise level is reasonable so I can hear the TV while walking. All in all, this is one of my best value purchases.
Best treadmill we have ever owned!

Reviewer: J. Lewis, Rancho Cucamonga, CA USA
Ordered this treadmill on line from Amazon (no sales tax & no shipping), site unseen. It arrived 10 days later by a trucking company. We were able to put it together in 20 minutes and were walking. It is used by three adults and we walk/run 7-10 miles a day total. It is very stable when walking/running, smooth walking platform, low noise so we can easily hear the stereo when walking/running. This treadmill does not come with all the extras like fan, ipod docking, or TV (which usually break and cost too much to fix). We are very happy and thank the Treadmill Sensei for making it easy for us to choose a treadmill for our needs!
Shipping Nightmare
 
Review Date: October 7, 2008
Reviewer: Dissatisfied in Dallas, Dallas, TX
I bought this treadmill after doing much research and reading the positive review posted on amazon for the Home Gym Central/Estes order and delivery process. The result: possibly one of the worst purchasing experiences of my life that involved twelve hours of waiting at home and multiple calls to Home Gym Central and Estes.

HomeGym Central did not respond to my email and was rude when I called to ask if Estes would be calling me to schedule delivery v. leaving it on the porch. I had to call four times and leave a message just to get someone on the phone.

Then came the Estes shipping nightmare. After a day spent panicked that a $1000 item was left on my front porch, I got a call from Estes to schedule a delivery. They said the smallest time window they could give was 8-5 so I had to take an entire day off work. Later, I learned they were supposed to give me either an 8-12 or 12-5 time window.

HomeGym gave Estes the incorrect street name for my address so the driver went to the wrong house. I'm lucky that person didn't keep my delivery! The confirmation email I received from Amazon had my correct address and other items from the same order arrived with no problem. Instead of telling the driver to call me for the right address, the Estes dispatch told its driver to make his other deliveries. He was only a few streets away and my phone number was on the delivery slip. It took me three phone calls and two supervisors to sort out what happened. It also took some persuading to get my order delivered so that I would not have to skip another day of work.

Order this great treadmill from a different company. I wouldn't choose Home Gym Central if I could do it over again.
Very sturdy, great machine!

Reviewer: A. Manley, Fort Collins, CO United States
I have run around 25 miles and my wife has run around 50 on this treadmill now. It is very sturdy, even at higher speeds, and has great cushioning. There are none of the fancy frills to the display that some others have, no MP3 player or speakers, but the machine feels better than any others we've tried.

My only negative so far is that the programs do not allow you to change the base speed settings. So if it's an "interval" program, you're stuck with the pre-assigned speed values for each interval, which are very slow (4 MPH or slower for most). You have to manually change them each time it goes to the next interval.
