Healthrider Treadmill Reviews

Fitness giant, Icon is behind the Healthrider treadmills. Other brands retailed by Icon are Image, Weslo, Reebok, ProForm, among others. Healthrider treadmills are packed with excellent features but we are surprised that with Icon's strong R&D, they failed to back it with a more dependable warranty.

Healthrider's strong point is that it has some of the best innovations for treadmills. Healthrider treadmills are a product of Icon Fitness' continued efforts in R&D and to provide the best products in an otherwise packed market. Among the best innovative features found in these machines are iFit workouts designed by a Certified Personal Trainer, the Soft Track tread belt supported by the BioFlex cushioning system and the 7x10 Matrix Display.

All Healthrider have the best sized tread belts at 20"x60". We are impressed with the deck size and cushioning that it took workout comfort to another level. Take note that these sizes are becoming rarer in the market these days. The BioFlex system will cushion those sensitive knees and joints from injury.

Types of Healthrider treadmills:

  • Healthrider T650i
  • Healthrider T850i
  • Healthrider R60
  • Healthrider R65

Healthrider TreadmillHealthrider treadmills models run from $800 to $1600.

We have pinpointed the warranty features as a downside to this otherwise fantastic product. Like most of their other brands, Icon only provides a 90-day warranty. Though they are affordable, buyers can purchase warranty upgrades of $89 for one year; $119 for two years and $149 for three years. These are good options for those who like to own a Healthrider, but a risk that they should be ready to face if these features won't last. Users will take note that other brands offer better warranty and overall value for the same price range.

With all Healthrider treadmills running at 2.0 to 2.5HP, we feel that these machines are underpowered if your consider that they are equipped with thickly padded belts. The motors will face the risk of a burnout too quickly.

Overall, we noticed that Healthrider treadmills are not of the best quality. Icon has put features over quality and durability. The construction is not solid mainly because of many plastic parts. Moreover, their poor warranty is a reflection of its durability.

Other than this area, Healthrider is still a good machine. Users will just be ready to invest in maintenance costs soon. We recommend that the Healthrider treadmills are only good for walking and light jogging. Serious runners should look to other brands for more extensive workouts.

Healthrider H120T Treadmill Review

Giving me my 60″ by 20″ belt is definitely a good start towards making sure this machine is a hit. Unfortunately it is a commonly held consensus that a big belt means a machine needs a powerful motor to support the longer belt, obviously HealthRider and Icon don’t subscribe to this believe as they seem [...]

Healthrider R60 Treadmill Review

The HealthRider R60 treadmill is a machine which is not short on standard features: fans, speakers, heart monitor; nor is it short on the non-standard: ifit system and over-sized walking surface. A mid level machine which is thought to match its price tag by most in the field, the r60 delivers a number of feature [...]

Healthrider H140 Club Series Treadmill Review

As far as quality is concerned, the higher end Icon models have gotten better, over the last few years. We have seen the $2000 models receive upgrades in polymers used, some added metal coverage and the use of better motors. The lack of warranty is still a nagging factor and unfortunately a big detractor of [...]

Healthrider Pro H500i Treadmill Review

As a rule, a machine that starts out with a 1.75 CHP motor does not have much chance of being a serious treadmill, but since a larger percentage of treadmill users do nothing but walk on there treadmill that may not be a huge disadvantage for the Healthrider Pro H500i treadmill. The inclusion of cross [...]

Healthrider H90t Treadmill Review

HealthRider, a division of Icon Fitness, offers a numver of machines which are very similar to other machines offered by icon. One one of the vast differences is the sense of style which HealthRider brings to each of their machines which other Icon brands simply don’t. Price is also a major consideration that can make [...]

Healthrider Pro H750i Treadmill Review

Designed to be cross trainer, the Healthrider Pro H750i treadmill includes hand wieghts and have audible trainer direction programs which intergrate the use of the included hand wieghts. As far as novelty is concerned, the HealthRider Pro H750i earns points. These “points”, however, do not make up for the fact that at $1000 this machine [...]
