The Lifespan TR2000 Treadmill is one of the most interesting units we tested so far. It has some features that will blow your mind but in the same time comes with a small minus on the core technical performances.

Conclusion for Lifespan TR 2000 treadmill review

We had high hopes before starting to test this machine. In most of the situation this treadmill had what a top unit needs to have and beyond. But unfortunately “most” doesn’t mean “all”.

This unit was very close to enter the top 3 treadmill for under $1500 class but it stopped at the gates. Let’s see why.

First of all the motor has only 2.5 CHP. It has enough power for walking or light jogging but it need a little more horse power to satisfy a runner. The same logic applies for the speed and elevation system. A walker/jogger will be satisfied with a top speed of 10 mph, a runner will want more.

Now the cool part: This machine has an incline of only 10 degrees which is a low value when you compare it with the top models. But do these to units have a decline system?

This feature blew our minds. We pushed those buttons like 10 times to make sure we are not dreaming. This unit really has a decline system and it works perfectly. We did some hill training (with up and downs) and we were completely satisfied.

If you read other reviews on this site you probably noticed that we are not big fans of the folding systems. It’s simply because in most of the cases the folding treadmill doesn’t save too much space. You end up have a big piece of metal that is not on the floor but near the wall. Well is not the case here.

Lifespan had an ingenious idea and mounted the motor under the frame. This move made the machine smaller and saved a lot of floor space. Every time you fold this treadmill you will win some space.

The preset workouts offer a large variety for your training sessions. There is a decline program, a My Zone Program (targets a specific heart zone) and two Custom User Programs.

There are no entertainment features like speakers or mp3 dock but the warranty is a good one and gives a lifetime guarantee for motor and 5 years for parts.

As a conclusion for Lifespan TR 2000 treadmill review: Unfortunetly this unit has some misses on core features. Because of that it cannot enter our top 3 for under $1500 treadmills. However this is a very good training machine for walkers and light joggers .It also comes with one of the most exotic features: the decline system.

Even if is not one of the top treadmill this machine is the best when is about saving space. We cannot award this unit for the overall performance but we can say: This is best space saver treadmill for under $1500.
