Lifestyler Treadmills
Tried and true treadmills from Sears
Lifestyler treadmills first came on the scene in the 1980s and were available exclusively at Sears department stores. They became popular, earning a reputation as a solid, reliable and affordable treadmill that was easy to operate, but they were discontinued in the 1990s. Despite this, this Sears treadmill has fans that still recommend it today. Finding a Sears Lifestyler treadmill is possible if you’re willing to keep a close watch on eBay.
Lifestyler Treadmill Features
The Lifestyler treadmill is designed to offer a smooth exercise experience by working with the natural motion of the body. Sizable width and rugged tread belts offer dependable operation and allow users to walk or run at their own pace while strengthening their cardiovascular system.
Each model has different sized motors. Since the motor takes the most strain and costs the most to repair or replace, it makes sense to pay more upfront for a larger motor. Even going from a 1.5 to a 2 horsepower motor can make a big difference. For those who find large motors to be too noisy, choose a model with a DC motor – it’s usually quieter than the AC version.
Arguably the best feature of the Lifestyler treadmills is their ease of use. An exercise routine could begin with a single push of the Quick Start feature button or by choosing a user ID, configured with a personal track profile. This is ideal for those who feel they shouldn’t have to spend 30 minutes figuring out how to start exercising on their new treadmill.
The Lifestyler 2800 treadmill model is built for home use. This model creates a lightweight and smooth running machine without compromising performance. When it was introduced to the market, it was one of the most economical treadmills available and also featured a folding treadmill design that made it easy to store just about anywhere.
This particular treadmill is especially quiet, with a shock-absorbing belt that also dampens noise during its operation. This allows those exercising to watch TV or listen to the radio without having to crank the volume. Other models previously offered by Sears include the Lifestyler Expanse 600 treadmill and the 850 expanse Lifestyler treadmill.
The Lifestyler treadmill is an old, reliable make which still provides the staple ingredient in many people’s exercise and workout regimens. If you happen to own one, some replacement parts are still available online.
