Health Rider r60 Review
The Health Rider r60 is a treadmill designed mainly for people who use a more moderate approach to their workouts. It is a good machine to use for fast walking or a medium jog. It may be a bit disappointing to an avid runner who is looking for power and speed. It has a nice running surface that is 60” x 20”. It can get up to a speed of 12 miles per hour. It has an incline of zero to 10 %.
One of the other features of the Health Rider r60 is SoftTrac cushioning that helps protect your knees and joints from injury. The treadmill has 10 different workout programs that you can choice from. There is a four-window LED BioLogic console. The Rider comes with a heart rate monitor and is iFit compatible.
iFit compatibility is an important feature of the treadmill so we will discuss it in more detail here. The iFit technology interactively controls your fitness equipment so that it automatically applies resistance and other features so that you get the appropriate workout for burning calories and keeping your body toned. Not only that, but the software provides you with a personal trainer who talks you through your whole workout. Motivational music is played to keep you going.
The Health Rider r60 folds up after you are finished using it into almost an upright position so that it takes up less space. It has a stylish design so that it will look good in just about any room of your home. You can purchase the treadmill for about $1499 which is about half the price of some of the high-end machines. If your needs can be met with a moderate workout machine though, why pay more?
Most of the people who purchased the Health Rider r60 said that they felt it was worth the money and it lived up to their expectations. Many people said they liked the personal trainer encouraging them on. For those who prefer not to listen to the personal trainer, you can simply push the manual button and set your own speed. This treadmill has a BioLogic Grip Pulse sensor so that you can check your pulse as you are working out.
In conclusion, the Health Rider r60 is a good deal. Its benefits include:
• Affordability
• Good for basic workout
• iFit technology automatically applies resistance
• SoftTrac Cushioning for knee and joint protection
It is a treadmill designed to f it the needs of the average person. It is not really a good fit for an avid runner. It caters more to a moderate workout. It is attractive and easy to store because it folds into an almost upright position when not in use. It is priced at about half the amount of some of the high-end power machines, so if you just want to keep the extra weight off and stay in good shape, this is a good treadmill to get.
It is durable and sturdy and should last for a long time. There is a 10 year warranty on the motor and a one year warranty on parts and labor. Based on all the reviews this machine is recommended.
