Ironman Treadmills Blast the Competition

Ironman treadmills are known to be of excellent value especially when you can get them on sale, and sales are quite common. Numerous features and great designs are also things you would expect from the Ironman brand.

This brand is offering treadmills that belong in the low to mid-priced range category. Interestingly, it is their cheaper models that are really catching people's attention, as they are esthetically appealing and well built machines. Most models range from as low as $800 to as high as $1,500. So if you're looking for an affordable quality treadmill, then this brand's economical fleet can give you a few to choose from.

Ironman is a brand owned and manufactured by Keys Fitness, a company located in Garland, Texas. Keys Fitness started producing treadmills in 1997, but has been in the fitness industry for some time. All their manufacturing jobs are done in the United States, but in order to stay competitive most of their component parts originated overseas. As a result, some of their previous machines have had some, not too many reported, quality issues.

Consistently, users and experts rate these treadmills as sturdy and steady in their movement. The surface isn't too thick, which can cause wear down to the motor. This is where so many other similar models fail, as thicker running surface needs more power with each revolution and that can cause motors to burn out before you've even reached your fitness goal.

Some of the models include Ironman 150t (built for average to light workout), Ironman Inspire (excellent value for the money), and Ironman Triad (equipped with shock assist mechanism).

Keys Fitness offers the classic 10 year motor warranty in all Ironman units (including he low-priced ones). The warranty on the frame is 2 years for parts and 1 year for labor. A warranty such as this will certainly help you get the most for your money.

The biggest and most talked about weakness of these machines is their finish quality. Because many of the parts have come from different sources, the finished product can look a bit disjointed. If you are hoping for a state of the art treadmill appearance, make sure you actually saw the product before you purchased it.

If you can get the Ironman Treadmill on sale go for it, especially when it comes to the lower-price models. The cheaper models are usually an excellent bargain when sold at a discounted price.
