Owner Reviews

Best treadmill I've ownedMarcus T. · 2024-02-14
★★★★☆

After years of cheap treadmills wearing out, the F80 feels like a different league. The deck is huge and the motor barely makes noise even at 10mph.

Great machine, tough to assembleDiane R. · 2023-11-02
★★★★☆

Runs beautifully and the incline feature is smooth, but assembly took my husband and me almost two hours. Worth it in the end.

Recommend for serious runnersCoach Aaron · 2024-01-20
★★★★☆

I train clients at home and this treadmill holds up to daily heavy use without issue. The cushioning really helps with joint recovery.

Solid but bulkyPriya S. · 2023-09-18
★★★★☆

Performance is excellent, but it's massive even folded up. Make sure you have the space before buying.
