How long will the LifeFitness T5 Go Console last?
The LifeFitness T5 Go Console treadmill weighs in at a decent 341 lbs. and can hold users who weigh up to 400 lbs. The T5 comes with a lifetime warranty on the frame and LifeSpring shock absorbers, 10 years on the motor, 7 years on parts, 3 years on the console, and 1 year on labor. Moderate users who take care of their investments will get many years of exercise from this quality machine. Remember maintenance free is not always quite so easy and the simple act of unplugging after use will extend the longevity of your machine.
Brief Overview
The LifeFitness T5 Go Console treadmill, while lacking in technology, has several premium attributes to offer a budding fitness enthusiast who is devoted to simply the basics and has not a modicum of interest in connecting to a fitness app during exercise regimens. It is uncomplicated and easy to use, inviting consumers to simply step on and go with a minimum of exertion to get the ball rolling and start an amazing fitness journey on a treadmill that is built to last.
Overall Quality
The LifeFitness T5 Go Console treadmill is the base offering of the T5 series and lacks the ability to connect to the infamous LFconnect app for interactive workout fun. It does come with 12 built-in workouts that are intuitive to previous workouts and can help fine tune present day workouts to optimize exercise plans to the fullest. The T5 Go Console also can hold 2 individual user profiles to further implement individualized training. It comes with a pleasing blue LCD screen that offers a variety of performance information that is easy to read.
A worthwhile investment, the LifeFitness T5 Go Console treadmill has quality attributes that are appealing to all levels of fitness fans. The FlexDeck shock absorption system has been upgraded to allow users 3 levels of firmness to mimic running on pavement, grass, or a running track. A 3.0 motor with energy conscious features provides seamless speeds of up to 12 MPH which is more than enough for the occasional sprinter and will keep a walker and jogger on their toes. The T5 offers elevation up to 15% which in turn, allows users to maximize their glute workouts as they continuously work upwards in 0.5% increments. A larger 22” x 60” running surface keeps larger users more comfortable as there are no constrictions within its roomy capacity.
