An Epic Treadmill - For Smart People On The Run

The Epic Treadmill is produced for discount retailers, specifically Costco, but in a comparison with more expensive treadmills, models like the Epic t60 are impressive.

With above-average features for the home gym and general fitness training, it is often discounted at Costco for far less than $1000.

Icon Health and Fitness, Inc., which uses the Epic brand name on exclusive models of exercise equipment, is the largest manufacturer of treadmills worldwide for training, weight loss, and personal fitness and of other sports equipment for weight and fitness training.

As a full-featured economy treadmill, Epic deserves the attention of those who want their money to go as far as they do.

The Epic T60 For Bigger People At A Smaller Cost

The Epic t60 incorporates the best of Icon's designs for sports and exercise equipment.

With an array of useful features designed with the larger user in mind, the Epic t60 features a large running surface with adjustable cushioned platform and is capable of supporting weights of up to 350 pounds.

Equipped with a strong motor and power incline, the t60 is suitable for both light exercise and intense weight loss and fitness regimens, as well as for general sports training.

Additionally, feedback and readout displays keep track of time, distance, calories burned, speed, and pulse measured through the pulse sensor grips.

The Epic t60 offers preprogrammed and customizable workout programs and iFit.com, the interactive workout technology found on most Icon exercise equipment.

With the optional chest sensor, iFit will control the speed and incline of the treadmill in response to your heart rate, providing a workout designed by trainers and found online or on CD.

Your home stereo, computer, portable device, and VCR can all be connected to the Epic t60 to keep you entertained while training.

And, like many of Icon's treadmils, the Epic t60 folds away after use.

As with many Icon products, the warranty is a mixed bag. While the motor carries a 12-year warranty--real good, the parts and labor on everything else are covered for only 90-days, a concern voiced by TreadmillDoctor which does not sell treadmills but does rate the Epic t60 a 'winner' for Costco.
