The ZR8 falls way short at just 5,166. This means that it will be too small for taller people who should consider something else. Incline

Power on the Reebok ZR8 and the LEDs on the console spring to life. Something we’ve noticed about Reebok is that the consoles on their treadmills all seem to have a different look and feel.You will also find 12 unique programmes, so that you can have more of a challenge than just running at the same pace.

It doesn’t have any incline options, and the speed range is fairly average, with a maximum speed of 6.2 miles per hour. Most treadmills have an incline feature and realistically you should get 12 – 15% incline for this price. The ZR8 meets these criteria, coming in at the lower end with 12%. Max User Weight The LCD display gives you up to date metrics on speed, distance, time and calories burned – all of the standard values you’d expect to see on good quality home treadmills. On top of that, it has 12 built-in running programs suited for a range of fitness levels, so whether you’re a beginner or an experienced runner, you can jump straight into a workout without any hassle. As an added little extra, theres a phone/tablet holder just above the display screen and control panel so you can watch videos whilst working out. We would suggest investing in a mat or similar to place underneath the treadmill, to further enhance the quality feel when in use. It seems to feel more comfortable when it’s placed on a smooth flat and slightly padded surface and helps further reduce any residual noise from the treadmill. CostLet’s start with the technical stuff. The unit itself is around 2 metres long, and the running belt is by no means small, coming in at 0.5 metres wide and 1.5 metres long. In addition to hard floor protection a treadmill mat will also prolong the life of the treadmill because it also prevents carpet dust from entering any of the mechanical components under the treadmill. It comes with a syringe that helps to keep the oil where you want it, and avoid applying too much at once. About 1-2 syringes is enough for regular maintenance. It’s not expensive, by any means, especially when you compare it with some of the higher level models, but what you get is excellent, with some really smart design choices built into it.
