Pleased with the Bowflex Series 7 May 31, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
We purchased the Bowflex Series 7 Treadmill to help us with our exercise routines. We did lots of research, and this one rated very highly. We have not been disapointed with our purchase. Between my wife and I, we use it to run about 5 miles a day, and have lots of great things to say. It is solid and doesn't move around. The motor is very strong, and doesn't even flinch when I use it (at 205 lbs). The instant speed and incline buttons are great! The width and length of the belt are fantastic, and even at 6'4", have never felt like I was running off the end of the belt.
The down sides (which are minor, but worth noting) include the following: If you change your program in the middle, there is no way to back out without turning off the machine. If you are tall, you can't see the display that shows where you are on the digital "track". The pre-programmed speeds may not be for everyone. For instance, in program 4 (Fat Burn), the "jog" speed is 4 MPH, which is too slow for a run, but too fast for a comfortable walk. The "run" speed is 5, which could probably be a little faster. The fan is a good thought, but underwhelms you. The machine is big and heavy - so, unless you are really comfortable "hefting" things around, you might want to pay to have the machine delivered to its final location.
Delivery occured in about 7 days. They called the day before to arrange a delivery time, and actually showed up at that time.
All things considered, I would rate the machine and our purchase experience an "A".
Don't Buy this treadmill May 28, 2008 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
I replaced my old treadmill with the series 7, what a mistake. The customer service is non-responsive to your needs. The machine is in my den collecting dust and I am now using my old treadmill. If you want a treadmill buy one from a local dealer that will service and support the treadmill. Save yourself a major headache, STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY

Yo'
Rocky wish he had this tread mill!
Maybe he could have worked out some of that bad acting out of his system.
Library quiet, smooth as a bambina's thigh.
Run like an Italian Stallion on this trainer.
Bowflex Series 7 service delivery (or lack thereof) May 23, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I like the treadmill but it is not as user friendly as implied in some of the reviews. To make any change you have to get out of the program and restart. It is also hard to read the settings scrolling across the front. It can freeze if you try changing speeds or heights too quickly. However, the most disappointing element of buying the treadmill was the delivery. Nowhere did it say that it was "curb side delivery". And this is exactly what the shipper meant. I had to find someone to get it from the curb to my town house and to bring it up the stairs to my house. By the time I paid for the extra service I could have gone with a treadmill in a store and had it delivered and assembled for me. Lesson learned... beware of what you order when the equipment is heavy or large or not shipped directly from Amazon. Amazon also needs to update its shipping site to clarify different delivery options (if any are available). When I contacted Amazon I received the following answer: "The shipper will bring the package to your address, and take it off the truck, but it will be your responsibility to bring the item inside." I was told if I cancelled the order at that point I would have to pay a shipping and restocking fee.
Absolutely love it!! May 10, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have tried many treadmills in my life and by far this is the best so far!
It has the feel of a professional one just like the ones you'd expect to find at big house gyms.
I'm a bigger guy (6 foot 5 inches) and I feel very comfortable running, walking, or just jogging on this machine.
It is a very heavy machine, so as recommended by a lot of people, you need at least two to three people to help move it. Put it together where you decide to keep it for a long time! Unless you are just moving it around the room it does have wheels which help ease the process some.
Overall, I am loving my Bowflex Treadmill and would highly recommended it!!
