Reebok entered the home fitness market back in 1998 and are now a trusted brand in the treadmill market. The Reebok i-run treadmill is part of the i-series range from Reebok, basically the lower end, casual fitness end of the market.

One of the key features of the i-run treadmill is that it should be thoroughly space saving when not in use and to be honest it does this really well. The i-run truly folds up. When folded, the machine I have at home sits approximately 30 centimetres from the wall. So you can truly push it into a corner in the room if necessary.

There appears to be a fascination with getting things in multi-colour variations and the i-run doesn't disappoint as it is availble in white, black, pink, red, orange and blue. I have the blue at home. Setup literally took five minutes. The hardest part was dragging the treadmill from the box.

Reebok i-run treadmill features
So what features does the i-run running machine have. First off, it has a 1.75HP motor. This is fairly standard for a treadmill in this price bracket and I wouldn't recommend getting a smaller motor. It is recommended ...
... that the maximum user weight is 100kg (220llb), this is usually dictated more by the motor than the frame of the machine.

The on-board computer is really large, well-lit and has sufficient programmes. You can set it to run for a certain time, run until you've burnt off calories, or until you've reached a certain distance. You can obviously set the speed that you want to run at also. On the handle there is also a heart rate monitor so you can check your pulse whilst exercising.

On the negative side, I'd say that the running mat would be a little small at 40 x 120cm for people with larger feet. I've read other reviews that have complained that the motor is overly noisy, but personally I didn't notice this to be a problem.

Reebok i-run treadmill in conclusion
This treadmill is a great little machine for the casual user that hasn't got a great deal of space albeit it's still heavy to move. It has a decent warranty of two years and all the features you'd expect for a running machine of this cost.
