Major Selling Points
The Livestrong LS8.0T treadmill has a 2.5 HP continuous-duty motor that is
backed with a lifetime warranty. Other features include a 20" x 55" walking
area, speed range of 0-12 mph, an incline range of 0-12%, contact heart rate
grips on the front handlebars, an iPod/MP3 player pocket, speakers, headphone
jack, console fan, transport wheels, a reading rack, and water bottle holder.
This 187-lb treadmill has a maximum user weight of about 300 pounds.
The patented MaxComfort™ deck cushioning system is adjustable so you can
set the two cushioning sliders to a harder or softer setting. You can move the
slider forward for a firmer deck and simulating the feel of running on a street,
or put it back to the rear of the deck to make it less firm, allowing for more
flex and impact absorption with each step. LIVESTRONG Treadmills - Factory Direct
The
Livestrong LS8.0T has attractive LED display windows with large readouts for
time (time remaining or time elapsed), distance, calories, heart rate, and
incline. There are nine training Programs that include manual plus two each for
Weight Loss, Power Walk, Walk/Run, and Incline.

Reviews on the Livestrong LS8.0T treadmill are above average for a model that is
relatively new on the market, having debuted in 2009. Its long-term durability
is untested as of yet, but its overall quality, comfort, and power rate well
with reviewers. Features like the built-in fan, iPod plug-in and
speakers, and lifetime motor warranty are pluses for this unit, as is the free
LIVETRACK Interactive™ website use. (In comparison, iFit Live, available on
Proform, NordicTrack, and FreeMotion treadmills, requires additional membership
costs.)
This treadmill is backed by a 2-year warranty on electronics and parts, and 1
year for labor.
An Excellent Low Cost Machine
Delivery of an LS8.0T includes placing the box just inside the threshold of your
home or garage, which is a nice upgrade from the usual curbside-only delivery.
The Livestrong treadmill is easy to assemble in about 30 minutes. Though
it is designed primarily for walkers, it is engineered well enough that you can
do some light jogging. In addition to being very affordable, Livestrong will
donate a portion of the purchase price to the Lance Armstrong Foundation for the
fight against cancer. At $799 with Free Shipping, the Livestrong LS8.0T
treadmill rates a Best Buy in the up to $800 price range.
