Epic Treadmill Reviews

Epic Treadmills still have a large following today since its products have been selling very well.  The  treadmills are decent enough as they are priced just right for a low to mid-range product. Icon has made it a policy to share the same components and features between its different brands thereby it keeps the cost low and affordable. You won't expect much in terms of value since they don't offer the same ruggedness and solid construction found in other treadmills like ProForm and Smooth for example.

Icon Health and Fitness manufactures the Epic brand for many retailers, the most recognized being, Costco.

Types of Epic Treadmills

  • EPIC TreadmillEpic 450MX Treadmill
  • Epic 600MX Treadmill
  • Epic 800MX Treadmill
  • Epic 425MX Treadmill

For a $1,000 treadmill, the specifications are quite good but in terms of value for money, Epic treadmill parts are of lower quality. Don't get me wrong, but Epic treadmills are very good options for those who are still trying to come into grips if treadmills are indeed for them and are undecided yet to invest on a more expensive machine.

There were assembly flaws in 2004 and early 2005 that buyers should take note. In these incidents, Icon sent this official statement to its Epic Treadmill buyers:

"Icon Health & Fitness., of Logan, Utah ("ICON) has issued a product recall notice for the Epic T60 Treadmill. During initial assembly the gas spring/shock can be damaged if the walking platform is folded up and goes beyond the vertical position. This action can cause the shock to contact the treadmill roller and be damaged and could propel parts out.

The parts of the shock could hit a bystander causing injury. ICON has received one report of a minor ankle laceration, one report of punctured foot and five reports of minor property damage."

Icon didn't place their reputation on the line and the matter was resolved promptly and all Epic owners were satisfied by the service they received from the company.

The motor range start at 2.25HP for the entry level 450MX model up to a decent 3.0 HP in the 425MX. We noticed that the motors strain in the spacious 55"x20" belts of the cheaper models. The decks are very responsive and the cushioning met my expectations across the product range.

Hard to beat

Epic Treadmills are a budget buy and for the price, this brand is hard to beat. The issues highlighted to build, construction, etc. are not that visible to the average consumer and for many customers out there, this brand is still a very good option and the models are well worth considering. Since its features are of high quality, I would even consider this machine if your budget does not exceed $1,000. Costco offers bigger discounts online that would attract first-time buyers and budget users.
