Product Summary

The FreeMotion t8.9b Treadmill is a commercial-grade cardio machine that comes loaded with multiple training programs and military fitness tests. It also has iFIT capabilities, which allow you to access thousands of live and on-demand cardio classes from some of the best trainers in the world. One of iFIT’s capabilities is automatic trainer control, which allows your coach to set your treadmill’s speed and incline based on the workout.

The FreeMotion t8.9b Treadmill is one of the company’s more budget-friendly options, which is a relative term considering it costs around $6,000. You do get an incredibly durable motor that will support runners and walkers up to 400 pounds at a top speed of 12 miles per hour, but if you’re looking for a decked-out treadmill we’d suggest looking elsewhere. This one only comes with a basic LCD interface, so you’ll have to supply your own screen if you want to follow a virtual workout.
