Yes

The sidebars are longer then appear in the picture. I would say they go about 1/2 down the track. They would be able to catch you if you lost your balance.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out! The Bowflex BXT8J Treadmill features side rails that are designed for added stability and support. The length of the side rails is approximately 18 inches on each side, providing enough room for you to hold onto them comfortably without feeling cramped.

The side bars are positioned to offer safety and balance without being too close, so you shouldn’t feel like they’ll catch you if you lose your balance. However, it's always a good idea to familiarize yourself with the treadmill and start with slower speeds until you're comfortable using it.

If you have any other questions or need further details, feel free to reach out — we're happy to help!

Best regards,
The Bowflex Team
