Hello all,
I had a Trotter 540 treadmill and it has seen better days and was put to rest recently (it had been
thru alot of use and abuse, i got it free/broken and had it fixed 2 different times), so it is time
for me to go buy a new one, I went to fitness experience and from what I tried and tested out the
model I liked the most was the True 540 hrco (with the ortho belt).
One other important factor of this treadmill was its ability to hold upto 400 lbs because my hubby
is 390 and needs to get some of his extra weight off too doing some walking on it, I prefer to run
tho (I am 135lbs).
Two things I wanted to ask here, one is fitness experience a decent place to buy a treadmill from?
And are True treadmills half as good as they feel and look (warranty and wear wise).
My trotter did serve me well and cost wise it was free except its few repairs over the years from
its previous life at a gym where it was beat to death, I used the heck out of it myself for 3 years
too and now it will be retired as it needs another belt and the frame has cracked and been repaired
and the motor is going out too (altho again this trotter was great in its day)...
So I guess I am just hoping to get some input on this treadmill and or the company itself, can it be
had cheaper somewhere else? Or do true treadmills not hold up to the test of time or warranty?
The price for the 540 hrco was $4199 and also included a promotional free exercise bike (which my
husband really liked and we considered buying him one soon anyways).
Thanks for any input or suggestions on true or fitness experience.
