Bowflex Treadmill 10 - Black

The T 10 is an excellent treadmill that is well built and very quiet. There are limitations built into the Android operating system to encourage buyers to subscribe to JRNY. To fully utilize the operating system you need to subscribe to JRNY ($19.99 monthly or $149 yearly plus tax). JRNY provides 50 scenic programs some with trainers and 4 apps. The apps are Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu and Disney+. Unlike Roku there is no ability to add additional apps like You Tube or HBO Max, Discovery + etc. The treadmill includes a manual app for use when NOT subscribing to JRNY. I use the manual app set the speed and incline and select one of 3 scenic apps. With the volume turned off on the T 10 monitor I watch concert videos on a 52" Sony TV with surround sound system. I highly recommend this treadmill as well as purchasing the $249 delivery, assemble and haul away service from Best Buy.

I really like this treadmill. It’s very sturdy and well built. I’m a big guy and I use this mostly for walking. I’m not a super huge fan of the JRNY monthly subscription, but I’m pretty cheap and I don’t want to spend the extra money. The good news is you can use this in manual mode. There are also a very small amount(not many at all) of programs that they provide without having a subscription. I think what really won me over was the customer service. I had an issue with the speakers crackling and I chatted with a rep and they said they would send me out a new part. Well I had separate question that I emailed them about, this was a user error problem, and they emailed me back and the rep mentioned that he saw they were sending me a replacement part and that they had the wrong one marked down. He fixed it for me and I received the right part. Very helpful.

Only used it twice, but have been super impressed. Super sturdy. Had to return a proform 9000 to get this one, and I have no regrets. Wide running board, easy to set up and easy to use. Had a guest setting that enables you to enjoy few workouts without registration. I registered my account and got even more workout programs. Not sure how the JNRN membership works though, not sure if registering my account automatically activates the JNRN membership. The Bluetooth heart rate monitor works pretty well too. So far, this is the best treadmill I ever owned (had three previously). Let’s hope it’s stays that way.

Love it! I’ve had this treadmill for three weeks now and it’s been great! However, it did an automatic update yesterday and now the timing of videos are off and it doesn’t change settings as quickly as I’d like. I have to keep pressing the button. I’m hoping it works itself out or I’ll be calling. Other than that, it’s a sturdy, fun way to work out.

I am giving this a poor review, not because Bowflex made a bad treadmill, but because the acceleration switch on the right arm does not work. I am in the Process of trying to contact Best Buy, to have the switch replaced but I am getting the run around. The Treadmill itself is great! there are other buttons for acceleration so ive been running. It has a wide belt which is good for a bow legged fella like me, its solid! like a Gym treadmill and I like that. the digital screen can be frustrating to navigate which you have to do if you plan on working out. how about a simple quick start! instead of having to scroll through multiple screens to get to a manual run. the rest of the treadmill makes up for this small inconvenience.I would in fact recommend this treadmill to anyone. It remains to be seen if I would ever recommend buying it from Best Buy.

Little too bulky I wish the front was a little more sleek to create a less bulky feel

I was looking for a treadmill with more "commercial" like specs and narrowed it down between the Bowflex models and a few others online / other retailers. I was after something with a 22" x 60" belt, at least a 2 ply belt, a 3.5CHP motor, better rollers, and generally solid build quality. Initially ordered the Bowflex 7 as it is listed with a 22" x 60" belt, and it was even delivered to my house. Then, someone in the Q&A section for that treadmill answered a question I posted and confirmed that it's 20" x 60" and not 22" wide. I had BB exchange the 7 for the 10. As part of this whole fiasco, BB offered the free installation & assembly service. I must say the 2 guys that put the 10 together were absolutely wonderful and did a great job. Now, onto the 10 itself. I've been able to get a few runs in on it, probably about 20-25 miles thus far. Overall, build quality is extremely good. There's no wobble, shake, weird noises, it's just a very solid unit, which you would expect at this price point. When selecting new speeds, it does ramp up / down quickly and without much fuss. There's plenty of room on the console area for your phone, TV remote, whatever. There is some give to the running deck, but not spongy or too springy. I normally wear running shoes that are considered performance neutral, so a little less padding, and it's fine. Yeah, you're not on concrete, but you're not on the trampoline either. You have the ability to adjust speed / incline / decline in a couple of areas. Running on it is very smooth and with the bigger belt, you don't have to worry about being too far back or if you stray a little to the left or right and falling off. To me, it's similar to running on the full-blown commercial treadmills at the gym. Strong, powerful and smooth. Now, it's not all a bed of roses with this thing. I haven't touched upon the screen. It seems if you want a better quality treadmill nowadays, they all come with the ever larger screens and then some type of pay by month fitness app. Well, I really didn't want either one. Have the treadmill set up in front of a TV and just stream as I plug along. There's a bunch of workouts you could do or JRNY workouts you could subscribe to, but I really don't mess with them. Just put it in manual and do my own thing. The screen is vibrant and responsive to touch for the most part. I just wish I could get this build quality with a basic 7" screen that showed pace, miles, total time and, really, that's about it. I feel these screens probably add anywhere between $300 - $600 to the cost of these things, but that's the price you have to pay for something sturdier it seems like. A few other nitpicks would be the screen is at a 90* angle and can be a little tough to line your eyes up on. Could use about a 15* slant to back to face the runner's eyes better. The pre-set speeds are a little funky. They go 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12. Would be nice to have a preset speed for every number going up to 12, but minor gripe and easy workaround. Same thing can be said with the incline / decline pre-sets. The miles run is only in tenths and not hundredths. I knew this going in and can see why people call it out. You do have to be careful if you're running along and get too far to the front. Your foot will come into contact with the front base of the treadmill. It's raised a bit. I already have a few foot scuffs there in the front. You get used to it though and start to remember to hang back a little. Really, that's about it for nitpicks. Would probably rate this about a 4.5 out of 5.

The good: Very sturdy construction. It feels like it will take a beating for a long time. The bad: Buyer beware!! I've had this for 2 months and it's not been a good experience. 1. Not only is the software clunky and unrefined, you are expected to pay a subscription in order to stream content you are already paying a subscription for. In other words, for you to watch Netflix, you MUST pay the subscription that allows the treadmill's application to stream it and overlay some simple workout stats. Absolute rubbish! 2. You can't just jump on and 'go'. You need to step through even the manual workout menus to get started. Overly complex, in my opinion. 3. The volume of streaming content is low even at the max volume adjustments, while the treadmill's announcements and notifications are deafening. This isn't a speaker issue, it's a software issue. 4. Hardware malfunctions keep on coming! The incline buttons, both the number buttons and the adjustment switch aren't working. The treadmill will incline when a workout program calls for it, but I have lost all ability to adjust the incline manually. 5. The fan won't turn off!! Instead, it does this strange pulsating where it spins to life every other second. The fan will run constant when pressing through the different levels, but it just never turns off! 6. The manual speed adjustments take around 10 seconds to register and the treadmill to adjust! This is a current development as it worked fine up until recently. But now, when I hit 7 to start my run - it takes a LONG time for the software recognize I hit the number and start speeding up. 7. And finally - customer service is terrible. I don't know if it's a language barrier, but every thing I've submitted has been responded with what appears to be a canned response and closed without asking any more details. I know this is a long review and maybe my experience is the exception. But, I hope it helps someone.
