The Bowflex TreadClimber TC5000 comes with better electronics than the previous models, but according to reviews is still not quite up to scratch compared to similar machines by other fitness equipment manufacturers. Even so, if you are looking for a faster weight loss buddy than a treadmill, the Bowflex TreadClimber TC5000 may be just the home gym equipment for you.
Feedback Fun: With eight electronic functions that keep track of your every move, you can be sure that your fat-burning efforts on the Bowflex TreadClimber TC5000 will be rewarded in record time. Your heart rate is monitored, which means that you can see to it that you remain within your target training zone for maximum productivity.
The console displays data concerning your speed, time, distance, calories burned, and total steps. You even have access to a climb indicator, which adds to motivation.
Activity Account: Previously named the Nautilus TreadClimber, this machine is a treadmill, stair climber and elliptical trainer rolled into one. According to the manufacturer, this unique engineering speeds up your results to such an extent that you may be able to cut your workout time by half. In addition, it gives you a very safe, low-impact training routine, not likely to lead to injuries. A range of 12 intensity settings enable you to challenge yourself, while allowing for your individual level of fitness.
Speed Stats: According to reviews, the Bowflex TreadClimber TC5000 is one of the faster models, with a speed limit of 4.0 mph or 6.4 kph.
Heart Rate Happenings: The integrated wireless heart rate monitor helps you to make the most of your training time.
Warranty Run: The commercial-grade motor is covered for five years. The warranty on parts runs for three years. Electronics are covered for three years, and hydraulics for two.
The machine's console allows you to stock up on water bottles and magazines. As in the other models, the maximum user weight is 300 pounds.
The main concern seems to relate to the hydraulics and the basic complexity of the design. While experts such as Treadmill Doctor recommends the Icon NordicTrack Incline Trainer, the Bowflex TreadClimber TC5000 can give good service if handled with care.
