Golds Gym - Icon Fitness Brand
Company
Gold’s Gym is another manufacturer who gave Icon Fitness a license to produce its treadmills. Similar to Epic, Golds Gym equipment are better than Icon Fitness’ long list of brands.
As you may or may not know, Golds Gym is known for manufacturing Home gym equipment. They are not known for its cardio machines. Similar to Reebok, they gave the rights to Icon to manufacture its treadmill, while they can focus on their specialty.
They have put this brand in Sam’s Club so we would expect that this brand will get more attention from the buying public.
Pros
Like all Icon Fitness brands, Golds Gym treadmills have lots of features. Built in fans, accessory rack and pulse grip sensors are examples of features that are included in the VX5000 treadmill.
The Golds Gym treadmill has a good motor warranty. 12 Year warranty is fairly strong for a treadmill under $1,000.
The VX500 has a good walking/running area and powered by a strong motor.
Cons
Unfortunately, Icon Fitness manufactured Gold’s Gym treadmills with the same quality as its other brands. They are lower quality treadmills with low resilience.
Its warranty on parts is short because the parts themselves are cheaper. Like all Icon brands, we would recommend the extended warranty. (Extended warranty prices are: 1 year $89, 2 years for $119 and 3 years for $139).
Summary
The Golds Gym treadmill is a good treadmill under $1,000. If you like this brand and interested in purchasing the VX5000, then we suggest you opt for the extended warranty.
If you want an Icon Fitness treadmill, then we would suggest either the Epic T60 or the VX 5000 treadmills.
