Product Description |
| Whether you're just starting to get in shape or are a seasoned athlete, Bowflex's Treadclimber TC5000 Cardio Machine is an ultimate home fitness machine that offers an array of electronics and features to push your workout to the next level. Similar in function to a treadmill, this low-impact machine is engineered to burn fat without pounding your joints. It has unique dual treadles (rather than a single belt area surface) that rise up to cushion each step. This design eliminates the jarring impact of hard, flat surfaces and reduces the joint and muscle strain that can be part of other workout machines. It has twelve intensity settings to tailor your workout specifically to your fitness and comfort level while six electronic functions allow you to track your speed, time, distance, calories burned, calories per minute, and total steps taken during your workout. Five LCD readout windows allow you to see all vital workout stats easily. Large footboards alongside the tread belts make starting or stopping exercise safe and easy. The speed of the TC5000 adjusts from 0.7 to 4.0 miles per hour for a casual stroll to serious power walking. A wireless chest strap is included to monitor your heart rate while working out.  | | The TC5000 features an LCD screen display to track your speed, distance, total steps, time, calories per minute, total calories, climb indicator, and heart rate. |

 Sweat machine |
| Review Date: March 19, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Kenneth E. Earnest, Columbia, SC |
We bought this because the Dr told my wife she needed to lose 50 pounds to ensure her diabetes could be controlled. We went with the TC5000 because it has the heart monitor display built in, and we wanted to ensure we did not over do it.
The machine arrived as scheduled; assembly took about 2 hours (1 bolt missing, but I had a one that fit so was no problem). Instructions are not that clear, but if you use the pictures and think a bit before you tighten something anyone should be able to assemble this (does take two people for a couple of steps).
We watched the DVD and read the operating manual before we ever got on it; neither of us are in too fit so the first week we just went about 20 minutes in treadmill mode every other day. We have continued the every other day routine to ensure our bodies have a day of recovery. 2nd week I started with a 3 minutes of treadmill, 18 minutes of tread climber, and finishing with 3 minutes of tread mill. Wife increased her treadmill time to 25 minutes. Week 3 I am doing 3 minutes of the tread mill, 24 minutes of the tread climber, and 3 minutes of tread mill. Wife is doing 3 minutes of tread mill 15 minutes of tread climber, and 3 minutes of tread mill.
We are both very aware of the importance of keeping our heart rate in the target zone (not too low and not too high) while excercising, the speed control and the heart rate display makes this very easy to do.
Each of us has lost several inches and has experienced modest weight loss, 5 pounds for me, and 7 pounds for her in 3 weeks. Both of us feel much better and so far we each look forward to our exercise day. We have put the Tread climber right in the middle of the living room so we can watch TV, or have a conversation with each other as a routine part of our exercise. This was a very conscious decision our part to ensure it did not become out of sight, out of mind.
I would recommend this to anyone who is serious about increasing their fitness and/or losing weight.

| I purchased a Bowflex TC5000 from Amazon, as it was the best price, saving me several hundred dollars from bowflex's price. After I received the product and called Boxflex to register it, I was told the warranty wouldn't apply as I didn't buy it through Bowflex. I called Amazon and they straightened it out by advocating on my behalf, now it is under the same warranty as if purchased from Boxflex. Thanks Amazon for smoothing out the bumps for my treadclimber purchase. |

| I purchased the treadclimber because of knee problems and had to stop running on my treadmill. I really like it and wish I had gotten it a long time ago. I didn't know until we put it together that you can use it in treadclimber mode or as a treadmill or as a stairstepper. My only complaint is the directions to assemble are about the worst of anything I've ever bought. And other than being over priced, I am happy with it. |
great deal

| Reviewer: R. Lomonaco, ROYAL PALM BEACH FL |
| THIS WAS SO EASY TO PUT TOGETHER AND START USING. I LOVE IT. SMALLER THAN A REGULAR TREADMILL VERY QUIET. THE ONLY DRAW BACK IS YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR FEET IN A STRAIGHT WALK. THE TREADS ARE NOT FULL SIZE THEY MATCH THE TWO LEVELS. SOMETIIMES I HIT THE SIDES IF I AM GOING TO FAST OR NOT PAYING ATTENTION |
Excellent Workout

| I can not afford to own a bowflex nor do I have room for one in my apartment. However, my local gym does carry the treadclimber thru Nautilus and I have to say that I am extremely impressed with the workout that I get. I actually go out of my way to go to the gym just to use this piece of equipment because of the results I get. It gets you in your heart rate zone so quickly yet it doesn't feel like you are working hard at all.. This machine was not meant for running but taking long strides - you could easily loose 5lbs a week with this machine. It toned my thighs, my back and my stomach and it was so easy to use, I highly recommend using this machine. It's definitely a smarter approach to working out - you get better results in less time as you incorporate all the major muscles at once. Tremendous calorie burning - the results speak for themselves and I can't say enough about this piece of equipment, it doesnt hurt my joints at all and in no time at all i had burned way more calories than i would have on an eliptical, treadmill or stair stepper... Very happy with the results I am seeing in such a short amount of time, I am also on a low calorie diet so I'm trying to do it right all around. |
