How long will the LifeFitness T3 Track Connect last?

The LifeFitness T3 Track Connect has a sturdy design that weighs 243 lbs. and can hold users who weigh up to 350 lbs. This treadmill is backed by LifeFitness’s lifetime warranty on the frame and LifeSpring shock absorbers, 10 years on the motor, 5 years on parts, 3 years on the console, and 1 year on labor. The T3 is aerodynamically designed to fit in most spaces and its 6.5’ frame needs a dedicated workout area. Moderate users will exercise on this treadmill for many years with a proper care and maintenance schedule. Keep in mind there is no such thing as a maintenance-free machine.

Brief Overview

The LifeFitness T3 Track Connect is the upgraded T3 model that offers a wee bit of technology into the mix to increase user appeal with its ability to interface with fitness apps. For some exercise fanatics, not being able to track their heartrate in comparison to their performance through an app on their device is a make-or-break feature so this upgrade is a step in the right direction in terms of modernization in basic treadmill models.

Overall Quality

The LifeFitness T3 Track Connect offers a more interactive workout experience with the ability to partner with fitness apps using Bluetooth technology and the LFconnect app. There are 16 built in programs along with 12 custom workouts and the T3 Track Connect can hold 4 individualized user profiles. Users’ devices are held on eye level integrated tablet holders that conveniently do not cover performance information so you can alternate between the dual display for maximum viewing benefits.
The T3 Track Connect treadmill offers premium quality parts that are supported in their higher value by the warranties guaranteed by LifeFitness. An ample 20” x 60” running area allows those taller users to lengthen their strides while overly muscled users do not feel constricted and have room to freely swing their arms. The T3 Track Connect can handle bursts of speed up to 12 MPH with a 3.0 HP motor which is powerful enough for walking and jogging. Serious runners who are heavy users should look for a higher-powered motor that will support performance longevity. If climbing is your forte, the T3 Track Connect offers a 15% incline to intensify glute workouts while the patented FlexDeck absorption system takes the worry out of painful impacts on joints and knees.
