Bowflex TreadClimber Review

What You Should Know

Relatively new to the exercise equipment market, the Bowflex TreadClimber is a hybrid of the stairclimber, elliptical trainer and the treadmill. The Bowflex TreadClimber website touts that their equipment can reduce your exercise time with a super-efficient, low-impact workout and that the various intensity levels allow exercise enthusiasts to tailor their workouts for their own specific needs or goals. These machines allow you to monitor every aspect of your workout including speed, time, distance, calories burned, calories-per-minute and total steps.

The Bowflex TreadClimber is offered in four different models. Their bestseller, the Bowflex TC5000, is compact and designed to fit in any room and is priced at $2498. The TC3000 is also compact but comes with fewer electronic features and is priced just under $2100. The TC1000 is Bowflex’s most affordable model. This model includes three electronic features and is currently reduced to $1498 on their website. The top of the line Bowflex TreadClimber is the TC6000 which has all the “bells and whistles” and the $3499 price point reflects the upgrades.
