In their words

“I am so glad that I found this company due to the excellent reviews. My first 3 mile Interval run was nice, and quiet except for my huffs and puffs. I also recieved excellent customer service with questions and concerns proptly met. Thank you Brant! Assem”

“Treadmill is less than 6 months old and it is already broken. The treadmill will not maintain speed when you step on it to work out. Now waiting for parts on backorder. As it stands, I have a very expensive paper weight. Lifespan product quality has taken a serious turn for the worse”
