I got my Healthrider second hand when my brother-in-law and sister just wanted to get themselves a new machine. It was like a brand new machine to me as I had never had a treadmill as nice as this one. I love the way I can raise the incline, adjust the speed with the push of a button and keep up with my minutes or miles. I like the way it reads out with flashing lights how fast you are walking, how many portions of a mile you have gone, how many miles you have walked and how many minutes you have been walking. But best of all, it is not so loud that you can't hear the radio or watch television as you walk like some machine are. I love to watch tv as I walk because it helps to pass the time faster. Yet it does have the tray support where you can place a book and read a book as well depending on how fast you plan to walk while reading. There are also cup holders at each side to keep your water handy, but I also keep a set of light weights in one of the cup holders to use when I want to have a little weight bearing exercise. The walking platform can be picked up and locked upright with the console where the entire unit is only about 1 1/2 feet wide against the wall.

I am a walker and sometimes the weather outside is a bit too chilly for walking so the fold up treadmill is a wonderful purchase.  It is a gym style treadmill with the capability of folding it up to store in corner.  It has 6 programmed workout features and you can log onto ifit.com and they can do a personal workout program. It's speed features and incline features are very visible on the face and also keeps track of distance and calories burned, time left and time spent.  The treadmill itself is extremely heavy duty and well built and has a great shock system so that its very easy to run on.  It also has an added feature with the on/off plug that you hook to your shirt in case of an accident and once it is pulled it will automatically shut off.  I've looked up prices on other treadmills and their features and this one is a great purchase for a very small price considering that some treadmills are in the thousands.  This one is under 1,000 and it very user friendly and fun.
