Reebok Brand
Company
In 1890, Reebok’s ancestors created its first pair of shoes, which were known to have spikes in them. They were interested in creating a shoe that would make runner run faster. From that point on, this company went on to be one of the biggest sports retailer in the world.
Reebok only formed its name in 1959, and sold an American distribution license to sell its products in America.
The 80’s were dominated by the famous "pumps", which revolutionized footwear style and trends. Most of us who have lived through the 80’s and 90’s are aware of this popular shoe. Although this was the mark of a new style, it was at about the same time Reebok focused on fitness and exercise.
Reebok treadmill is not popular in the fitness community, they are still better known for athletic sponsorships, clothing apparel and trendy collection of shoes. However, Reebok treadmills exist in your fitness depot and this page will break it down.
Perhaps its focus on shoes and clothing are compromising their efforts to build better treadmills.
Pros
The first strong point of Reebok treadmills is the feature packed machines. You can expect bottle holders, magazine racks, iFit compatible among the standard power incline and quick speed features. Reebok treadmills include features to make your run more enjoyable.
Lastly, Reebok treadmills are affordable. They will range between low and mid range. ($749 – $1,599)
Cons
Reebok treadmills are known to have a lower then average resilience. With constant wear and tear, the machine will most likely breakdown before your would anticipate.
Its warranty is a little weak, most models have lifetime on frame, 1 year on parts and labor, and the motor varies from one model to the next. A longer duration in parts would render this warranty acceptable.
The lower warranty duration in parts is mainly due to its lower quality parts. This is one of Icon Fitness’ trademark; low quality parts included with a feature packed machine.
Summary
Reebok treadmills are not the best in quality. It’s nice when you have a treadmill with enough features to improve your workout, however the quality and overall value of the treadmill doesn’t seem to over deliver. Reebok treadmills are sub par machines, mainly due to its cheap component construction.
We suggest smooth or sole treadmill for mid range treadmills.
