OMG ~ A NEW FABULOUS infomercial from Nautilus ~ the TREADCLIMBER ~ WOW...
Ok, so I was watching the new Bowflex infomercial outlining the machine and the new Bowflex Xtreme XLTU that I want, when afterward, a NEW infomercial came on and I am just dying to get in on this piece of fabulous looking equipment ~~ gym style / quality no less.
From the makers of Stairmaster, Nautilus and Bowflex ~~ comes the all new TREADCLIMBER ~~ Go here for a free video and to watch a video clip ~~ www.treadclimber.ca What a wonderful piece that acts just like a treadmill, stairmaster, and elliptical all in one. Top quality like at the gym, and you can adjust the treads to stay stationary and do a regular treadmill workout too. Totally electronic ~~ I can't believe how much I want this now......shhhhheeeesh. It's so darned expensive too, but looks SOOOOOOOO worth it. I was going to get a Bowflex Xtreme and a treadmill this fall, so I am leaning on this now instead. The Bowflex can wait till next year. Besides, I was on the Bowflex site and all their equipment has assembly manuals to download and it pretty much looks like you have to put the whole darned thing together yourself ~~ what a disappointment.... I eventually wanted the Xtreme too but the assembly part is really putting me off..... Maybe I'll just get the Treadclimber and worry about the Bowflex and deciding next year. I want equipment that is already assembled properly..... Check it out and post what you think...... Have you all seen the infomercial yet? Any opinions?

I would check the reviews for it. About 6 months ago I saw the commercial for the treadclimber and was interested, but someone posted about it at Cathe's website that it was not safe or something like that. I did a quick search and posted the link below.

You've just NOW seen the infomercial ? Its been running for about a year or so now. I don't think it looks all that great. Its just a cross between a step climber and a treadmill. I personally think it would be unsafe. Here's a site, though, that seems to have mostly good reviews. Somebody else there, though, had a bad experience on it in regards to safety. I LOVE this site for reviews. You may like it, it seems alot of people do. http://www.fitnessinfomercialreview....ad_climber.htm

Thanks everyone for your help ~~ I really appreciate it. I was just calling around for prices on stuff today to see what I should do. I may go with a really good treadmill, Bowflex Xtreme or Home Gym type, and either a recumbent bike or a RevMaster.....
Thanks MDBrunner too for all of your wonderful info. That was really good. You gave me a good idea too as I have been hearing about how great the RevMaster is....lol. That would be an option too with the other stuff. I called the local fitness store and spoke to the owner who suggested it wasn't worth the price tag. On my own, I have become leary enough so I'll pass for now as I can still get good work from the bike and treadmill plus all my vids, etc. I figure, with my local fitness stores, they have in city service and in town warranties so I would never have to deal with technical issues "out of province" which I would have had to do with the TC. And, for that price, I will end up with a solid home gym and treadmill ~ and just have to pay extra for my bike. It's just too much money to take a risk, when all the other equipment I will be getting will be purchased in town with certified technicians who will do all the set up and delivery and service if ever needed. I feel safer I think going with the lower risk option of the fitness store. Thanks everyone for helping me make the decisions on all this.....
