    This treadmill is a beast. Much bigger and well-built than I anticipated. It definitely feels like it will last a long time. The suspension helps to cushion my knees when I run. Overall wonderful product.

    My BXT6's incline motor failed after less than a year and so I replaced it with this. Just getting back into running so I don't need anything fancy, but this has plenty of preset programs, doesn't need a membership to use and overall has about everything I need. Pairing with the HR strap was in and out, so I abandoned trying to use it. It seemed to pair a little better with my Polar HR than the one provided but even that wouldn't stay connected. Would recommend for the price point.

    Pretty good treadmill. Well worth with the high price. I enjoy it a lot. If you have assembly service in your area with this pay the extra and save your self the agony of putting it together cause it will be difficult. Other than that I am glad I bought it.

    For our level of exercise; meets all of our expectations; very easy to operated. great treadmill and very quiet. We really like it compared to the Pro-Form and Soul 80 the we've had in the past. More importantly, for the price, it's hard to beat.

    The treadmill is great as a piece of equipment. Was actually a lot more sturdy than i was expecting (given the entry level price point) but it works really well and helps me get across my steps in when its too cold outside. My one conplaint is you have to pay for a jrny memvership to have any kind of tracking with their mobile app. I purposely bought this machine because it didn't have the proprietary display that (from what i have read online) barely works without a paid subscription. Come on Bowflex, not all of us want to be chained to a monthly subscription. Thats the whole point of buying home exercise equipment....to ditch the monthly gym fee.

    I bought this machine from best buy and let me tell you it was a headache to even have it delivered. Once i ordered it they were clming to “install” the machine keep in mind i didnt even receive it yet. Then when i called and yelled at them they delivered the machine at their own convenience and i had to wait to have it installed about a week later. Keep in mind from the time i bought it to whenit was delivered and i stalled was well over a month. Then when i strated to use it, it started to skip on the belt. I called tech suporot and they had me do a factory reset and recalibration. Needless to day that didnt work. Tney sent a tech out and he replaced the speed sensor cable. It worked fine for one cycle and then started to skip again. I called them again and now they ordered a control board and some other parts all or some to be swapped out to get the machine to work. Ive had this thing in my house for less than 2 months and to have to call bowflex 3 times in that time frame is a big big BIG NO NO for me. The next time i call it will be to thr BBB and i will post to social media. As i think its unacceptable to pay almost 2K for a machine to have it perform like this. Absolutely ridiculous.

    I've only had it for a few weeks so I can't speak to how well it will hold up. I purchased this because I already had some Bowflex equipment and have a JRNY subscription. I am 267lbs and am mostly using it for incline walking not jogging/running.

    Great treadmill. Better than the last one I own. It doesn't make me use the built in program when you just want to run or walk. The BXT8J is a sturdy treadmill and should last a long time.

    I’ve only had it for a couple of weeks, but it’s worked well so far. Has the incline, speed and weight limit that I was looking for and it is very sturdy, but these things make for a heavier machine. It is not too difficult to figure out the assembly on your own, but its weight does make it very hard for only one person to do it. I required 2 other family members to put it in place and give me a hand assembling, so if have the budget, I would suggested to pay for assembly.
