Customer Review
Love this treadmill!
I am sooo glad I got this inexpensive manual treadmill instead of an expensive motorized one. I put it together in about half and hour. Its a little more of a workout than walking on a level surface (you're walking slightly uphill all the time) so be prepared to stretch your calf muscles after using it. I also like how light and portable it is. I can push it out of the way easily when I'm not using it (though folding it up IS a little harder than they claim it is). I can also shift it easily to watch t.v. while I'm working out, or shift it in another direction and look out my picture window instead (you can jog on it, too). It also takes up a lot less floor space than the huge motorized ones. The metal and rubber surface area that you walk on is less stressful to your joints than walking on concrete or asphalt-there's a little bit of 'give' to it. I didn't think I'd use the little computer console, but its kind of fun to see how fast you're walking and how many calories you've...

Excellent workout; quality product
The item arrived safely and was well packaged. All the parts were included and easy to unpack. It took me about 20 minutes to assemble by myself (a second person is definitely not required). I jumped on and was amazed at 1) how quiet the machine is; I can actually hear my music or the TV while working out, and 2) what a fabulous workout this provides; my legs were burning within minutes! Having to push the belt with my legs provides a much better workout than a non-manual treadmill, and I could immediately feel the difference in my hamstrings and glutes - my biggest trouble spots. I was even able to jog on it; it feels very sturdy. It did take a few minutes to get a good groove going because the belt was slightly jerky, but as soon as I did it was smooth sailing. As everyone else has said, you will need to hold onto the handrails while using to keep from flying across the room and crashing into the dining room table, but it really isn't a big deal for me and doesn't seem to...

Most treadmills are frightfully expensive, with bulky electric motors that power the treadmill while jacking up the price. No so the Phoenix Easy-Up manual treadmill, which asks the user to power the belt instead. The treadmill is outfitted with a heavy-duty weighted flywheel and a sturdy running belt that respond to your walking/jogging speed. The faster you run, the faster the belt spins, letting you reach whatever speed is comfortable. At the same time, the treadmill isn't completely low tech, as it offers a single-button electronics display that tracks your speed, distance, time, and calories (includes two AA batteries). And users with small homes or apartments will love the spring-loaded pull pin, which lets you fold up the treadmill, lock it in place, and store it in a closet or garage. The Easy-Up treadmill--measures 46.5 by 50 by 21.1 inches (W x H x D). It also carries a 90-day warranty on parts and a one-year warranty on the frame.

- Heavy duty weighted flywheel offers a smooth, quiet operation

About Treadmills
Walking is still considered one of the most beneficial cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels. As a fundamental form of aerobic training, walking has numerous physical benefits for the heart, lungs, and circulatory system, while also increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories. Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all weather conditions in the comfort and safety of your own home.
From beginners just starting an exercise regimen to advanced athletes looking to maintain their fitness level, anyone interested in getting and staying in shape can benefit greatly from regular use of a treadmill. Treadmills allow you to determine the pace, distance, and complexity of the workout based on your needs, all while watching television, talking on the telephone, or reading a magazine. Much easier on sensitive joints like the knees and hips, treadmill walking and running surfaces are typically long, padded platforms that allow ample room for a long stride and comfortable, low-impact walk or jog without the harsh contact of a concrete surface.
While many different types, styles, and price ranges of treadmills exist, many of them offer unique features like a fold-up design for easy storage, an electronic display monitor showing speed, distance, workout time, incline level, and burned calories, and EKG grip pulses to monitor the heart rate while exercising. Regardless of the simple to complex features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting beneficial cardiovascular results without a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.

This product was pretty much what I expected. It was not too difficult to assemble. However, it should come with some lubricant for the belt, it was a bit "jerky" at the beginning. After using some lubricant on the belt it was much smoother.
