Ironman Acclaim Treadmill - Review

The first thoughts when you see the Ironman Acclaim treadmill is that it's a quality machine. It looks robust and sturdy. And when you start using it you'll not be disappointed.

The Acclaim treadmill is a space saver machine. You are able to fold the top when not in use, to give more space in your house. It is a simple task to release the clips and allow the deck to fall down slowly when you wish to use it.

Although Ironman specialize in producing treadmills for use at home, they do not cut corners on quality. One of the items that treadmill users often complain about is the motor. This item is most likely to breakdown or require maintenance. When buying a machine you should ensure that it has a quality motor. The Ironman Acclaim treadmill comes equipped with a powerful 2.5 hp motor that has the reassurance of a lifetime guarantee.

Many people like to measure their progress using a heart rate monitor. This is easy to do with the Acclaim, which has an inbuilt unit. To use it you simply need to place both hands on the handgrips. Serious runners may find that this is a little inconvenient when running fast. In this case, you would need to invest in a heart rate monitor that has a chest strap.

The running deck is comfortable to use. This is thanks to its cushioning technology and generous 20"x56" running deck. This will allow walking, jogging and running at all speeds and will reduce the impact on the joints.

With 13 programs available for use there is plenty of flexibility for you to use it for weight loss, endurance training or preparing for a race. It is great for the home because different members of the family may prefer different program settings.

There are several little finishing touches that make it a joy to use. These include holders for your drinks and your iPod or MP3 player. There is also a large easy to read LCD display to monitor your workout.
