Conclusion for Lifespan TR 1000 treadmill review

This is definitely one of the best machines we’ve seen so far for under $1000 category. The Lifespan TR 1000 features a 2.0 CHP motor that offers the much needed power. Yes it says that has only 2.0 CHP but this motor act like a 3.0 one.

The running space is also a generous one. You get a belt that has 20 inches wide and 56 inches long. For $1000 is the best you can get. The suspension system (aka cushioning system – Lifespan loves to reinvent the wheel) is formed by eight Variable Density Elastomers that will offer a good joint protection.

The console has a decent design, nothing ugly or too fancy and it features a My Zone Heart Rate Control program and a Body Mass Analysis. Also, there are 6 incline and 5 speed programs. The training information is showed on a nice large blue backlit display.

What we didn’t like is the lack of quick speed & incline buttons. Most of the producers put those buttons on the side bar. If the treadmill has a top speed of 10 mph you have 10 quick speed control buttons. One for the 1 mph speed, another one for the 2 mph speed and so on.

These controls are very appreciated by all users but in our case Lifespan put only 4 such controls. Not a deal breaker but definitely something they can improve..

This machine is one of the best in the budget class. The core parts may be the best on the market but the whole assemble has a good value.

As a conclusion for the Lifespan TR 1000 treadmill review: If you have a $1000 to buy a treadmill put this model on top of the list. The TR 1000 is not the most charming machine but your money will be well spent.
