Q: QuestionHow much weight would you need to be able to lift in order to lift the treadmill into the folded position? Can one older person do it alone?

Asked 10 months ago by hellojoe.

• A:Answer Hi there! The BowFlex BXT8J Treadmill is designed with a soft drop folding mechanism, making it relatively easy to fold and unfold the deck. The weight of the deck itself is around 150 pounds (68 kg), so while the folding mechanism helps, it can still be a bit heavy for one person, especially if they're not used to lifting heavy objects. For safety reasons, it is recommended that two people handle the treadmill when folding or unfolding it, especially if you have any concerns about lifting it alone. If you're looking to do it solo, it’s a good idea to see if there's someone around to help, or use a technique where you brace yourself properly and use your legs to lift to avoid strain. Let us know if you have any other questions or need more info! BowFlex Team
