Healthtrainer - Keys Fitness Brand
Company
HealthTrainer is a branch of Keys Fitness. This brand produce exercise machine alongside Keys, Alliance, Discovery and Ironman. One thing that can be said is these groups of brands are better than the Icon Fitness line.
Keys Fitness is a US based (Garland, Texas) manufacturer and distributor of many fitness equipment including the ever so popular treadmill.
Keys started out in the business world by producing weights and strength training products. Since 1997, they joined the treadmill industry and started offering consumers their large selection of treadmills. Being fairly new to the market, Keys started off at a slow pace but has been showing a considerable improvement since their debut.
Pros
If space is a concern, it might be worth looking at Healthtrainer treadmills. Most models are foldable; which can save you space. These machines aren’t heavy so you won’t blow out your back while attempting to fold it.
Healthtrainer treadmills have good motor backed up with a good warranty. For its price range, it’s good to know that the motor won’t be causing you any nightmares. However it’s the rest of the treadmill that should be a concern. This leads to the next sections…
Cons
The warranty on parts is definitely below average. Perhaps this is because the part quality and resilience is below par. The assembly is hard to keep in the United States and we could see a shift to China or Taiwan in the short future.
Like most brand out there, Healthtrainer treadmills are average machines. They don’t have anything that stands out. Usually an average treadmill can have a better value if the warranty is longer. Unfortunately Health Trainer comes up short for that too.
Summary
Healthtrainer treadmills range in the low-mid end price category. Since Keys is one of the stronger companies in specialty fitness, Healthtrainer should remain in the market for years to come. For a treadmill in the $1,500 range, look at the Smooth treadmill. You won’t be disappointed.
