True Treadmills Reviewed

True is one of the top manufacturers of home and commerical fitness equipment, and True treadmills have been continually recognized by fitness experts to be smooth, stable, durable and whisper-quiet. To understand why True treadmills repeatedly surpass industry standards, you only have to look at their design and quality. Made in the US, they are built to stand up to a lifetime of use.

Although True treadmills are categorized in the higher price bracket (their home treadmills are priced between $2000 to just over $5000), they represent value for money if you consider the precision engineering, rock solid steel construction, intuitive design, stringent testing procedures, as well as the ergonomics of the machine, which all add up to deliver a superior workout experience. You may find that some dealers offer discounts now and again, so it's worth shopping around.
