How long will the Xterra TRX2500 last?
The Xterra TRX2500 is a high-performing folding home treadmill that comes with surprising specs and features for the suggested price. It has a 207 lb. welded steel frame that can hold up to 300 lbs. of weight and comes with a generous lifetime warranty on the frame and motor. Light to moderate use with scheduled maintenance should get a user a couple of years out of this treadmill despite the 1-year warranty on the deck, parts, and labor. Really baby it and you might get more life from it.
Brief Overview
The Xterra TRX2500 is a decent treadmill for walking at lower intensities and is the base offering in the Xterra Performance Series. The TRX2500 is a great at home starting treadmill that grants enough room to be comfortable if you are on the shorter side and supports users from beginning to moderate walkers. This treadmill compares nicely to others in the $800 and below category even though for a few hundred dollars more you have access to higher powered motors, higher inclines, and better technology offerings.
Overall Quality
Treadmills are a great way to get in shape, and the Xterra TRX2500 is a solid mid-level home treadmill. A 2.25 HP motor powers the belt up to 10 mph, and its 18 mm thick running deck designed with Xtrasoft cushioning gives you a comfortable powerwalk during your exercise routine.
The TRX2500 comes with a 2-ply belt and a 1.6 mm thickness for durability and long life, which is standard in this price range. A 20" x 55" running surface means you can enjoy taking semi-longer strides while you powerwalk to your next fitness goal. Control the TRX2500 through the handlebars so you never have to stop short on your workout while conveniently having your pulse rate checked mid-workout
The console comes with a 5.5" blue backlit LCD screen that displays your time, distance, speed, pace, and calories burned. This treadmill also offers 10 levels of incline to help you build up lower-body muscles and basically has everything you need to stay healthy at home. Other typical features include a cooling fan, accessory tray, and a cup holder
