Reebok Treadmill Reviews
Reebok treadmills do not share the same company that makes the famous footwear. These treadmills is quite famous maybe because it shares the same name with the shoe and sports apparel giant. Officially, the treadmills are branded as Reebok Fitness.
The company behind Reebok treadmills is Icon Health and Fitness, which is the same company that manufactures Image, ProForm, Nordic Track and Healthrider brand of treadmills.
Types of Reebok Treadmills

We checked the price range of these models and we were surprised that these sell within the $1,000 range, with the highest being around $1,400.
The newer models have spacious walking areas of 20"x60" which comes in handy for tall users and those with longer strides.
Reebok treadmills share other exciting features with its other Icon cousins. The higher-end models of this brand has built-in speakers, music ports and a built-in TV to keep you entertained.
Reebok treadmills are solid and a good bang for the buck. It has a very good set of features for a $1,000 machine. These machines provide a good balance and option for customers in search of a durable machine approacing the mid-range category.
Thanks to Icon, the Reebok line is an excellent compromise from the low-end machines and for the slight price difference you can have better features to go with it.
There are many older Reebok treadmills that sell with short 90-day warranties. The warranty is a very good indicator to gauge the quality of the product. This also means that you have to spend on repairs should something go wrong after the warranty expires.
Reebok treadmills parts and labor warranties though are marked for a year each, respectively. We're wondering about when will Icon be more confident with their low to mid-range treadmills by offering a longer warranty, we are sure there are many takers waiting for this to happen.
Overall, the Reebok treadmills are very good. Except for the notorious warranty, this machine deserves a closer look. Combining a sturdy built frame and spacious walking area plus a good set of features, the $1,000 price is good value. These machines have received some very good reviews, with the Reebok Vista 8500 getting an Editor's Choice award.
