It's Not The Same As Running In Place... By loveonce1 on - Updated Oct 15, 2011

So i got this treadmill by default. I had a friend that was throwing it away because they had lost the key that allows it to power on. I brought it to my house and wondered what I was going to do. At the time I was waitressing at a BBQ place. It was in a strip mall that also included "Play it again Sports." One day when they cam infor food I asked them if they had a key I could purchase and I gave them the brand and the model. They told me to wait it out and they could give me one when someone dropped off a broken one. The next day I had it in my hands.

Once I got it set up in my spare room I ran on it like crazy. I loved it. It works perfectly and I like that it has over 7 different programs to choose from. It has a digital display for distance and time. Also how many calories that you burn and how fast you are going. It has the heart rate monitor on the handles, but I am not sure that it's all that accurate.

The only negative thing I can say about this treadmill is that it doesn't store away very easy. The hinges broke that hold it up in a locked position and it's very heavy when you want to roll it into a corner.

All around it's a great machine and I like it alot. I can't complain since I got it for free, but I think that it runs about $500 or more for a brand new one.

Gotta love a freebie! I have a treadmill that has garnered the unfortunate name of the dreadmill, lol, but they are nice to have. If I could only just get motivated now!!

Free is a very good price! Personally, I hate treadmills, but my sister in law loved hers, and worked out extensively on it every day!

Yay for free! And how great that you got the key for it so fast! I'd put up with the storage issue (if I had the room) for a great piece of equipment!

A lot of these are bulky, for sure. Things we do for fitness.

I also have the 740cs and run three times a week on it. I've had it for over 5 years and have had only minor problems with it, like plastic cracking. great buy for the money.
