The Bowflex treadmill deal took our breath away: today, you can pick up this great treadmill deal for just $2,499, down from $3,599. Take home one of the best treadmills today for 31% less than retail price.
After all, this is a treadmill packed with impressive features so while the Bowflex running machine still requires a significant outlay, we’d say it’s more of an investment. Here you’re getting a 22in touchscreen on which you can stream your favorite shows through Hulu, Netflix and others – something you can’t do on the Peloton Tread.
You can also make use of a max speed of 12mph (approximately a five-minute mile pace) making it easily fast enough for runners of most levels. To absorb some of the impact of each stride, the treadmill incorporates Comfort Tech deck cushioning although it still provides a stable platform for higher speed sessions. The belt is spacious, and a SoftDrop folding system means you can lift the deck up to save floor space when not in use.
