What reviewers say
Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?
Reviewers praise
- Exceptionally sturdy steel frame with triangulated uprights makes the console rock-solid with no screen wobble
- Twenty percent incline and negative five percent decline—highest range of any folding treadmill
- Large twenty-two inch wide by sixty inch long deck provides ample space for runners of any height or stride
Reviewers push back
- Weighs three hundred thirty-six pounds and requires permanent placement—difficult to move even with transport wheels
- Deck cushioning is firm underfoot and may not suit users with joint issues
- Journey subscription service required to access streaming apps like Netflix and Hulu on the touchscreen
Reviewers agree the Bowflex Treadmill 22 is a solidly built, heavy-duty machine with exceptional incline range and a large running surface, though its size, weight, and firm cushioning limit its appeal.
One reviewer expected softer cushioning based on experience with other brands, while others made no complaint about firmness
