Star Trac Treadmills

Star Trac is the market leader in commercial treadmills. The company, which introduced its first commercial treadmills in 1974, today has around 2 million users across 65 countries. Apart from treadmills, the company also boasts of the Star Trac spinning bicycle, the Star Trac Arc Trainer, Star Trac Stationary Bicycle, Star Trac Elliptical and the Star Trac Cross Trainer Ranges. Star Trac Ellipticals and Star Trac Johnny G Spinning Bikes are some products which have also gained a lot of popularity.

However, being the number one treadmill company, it has a wide variety of commercial treadmills. Since Star Trac treadmills come loaded with a large number of features, many fitness enthusiasts prefer them for their personal gyms as well. These treadmills are known for their reliability and durability. They are sturdy models requiring very low maintenance. Some of the most popular models are the TR4500, The Star Trac Pro, Pro S and the Star Trac Sport Treadmill. The TR4500 is considered to be the best Star Trac Treadmill in terms of both features and value. It comes equipped with a Quickstart function that lets the user immediately start the machine with gradual acceleration. A patented Impact Absorption System cushions impacts to the ankles, knees, hips and back. A Personal Trainer Studio lets personal trainers store their clients running programs. The machine is equipped with 10 preset programs and a large number of pre-programmed fitness training options. The treadmill also comes with a host of other features, like superior safety mechanisms, state of the art Sport Utility Display and a Dynamic Heart Rate Monitor.

Star Track treadmills come with variable warranties, based on the type and amount of usage. So, while a treadmill for commercial use is covered for only three years on parts, one bought for home use would be covered for three years for the same. However, with the quality that the company provides, your Star Trac treadmill should not require many repairs if used properly according to instructions. The only cons related with Star Trac Treadmills are that they are made only for commercial use, with just one model having been introduced for the home market. Apart from that, the prices are a bit high, but since they claim to be the best in the market, the price is kind of justified. Some Star Trac products including ellipticals and bikes are now being retailed by Costco.
