Amazon.com Product Description
Whether you're just starting to get in shape or are a seasoned athlete, Bowflex's Treadclimber TC5000 Cardio Machine is an ultimate home fitness machine that offers an array of electronics and features to push your workout to the next level. Similar in function to a treadmill, this low-impact machine is engineered to burn fat without pounding your joints. It has unique dual treadles (rather than a single belt area surface) that rise up to cushion each step. This design eliminates the jarring impact of hard, flat surfaces and reduces the joint and muscle strain that can be part of other workout machines.

It has twelve intensity settings to tailor your workout specifically to your fitness and comfort level while six electronic functions allow you to track your speed, time, distance, calories burned, calories per minute, and total steps taken during your workout. Five LCD readout windows allow you to see all vital workout stats easily. Large footboards alongside the tread belts make starting or stopping exercise safe and easy. The speed of the TC5000 adjusts from 0.7 to 4.0 miles per hour for a casual stroll to serious power walking. A wireless chest strap is included to monitor your heart rate while working out.

The TC5000 features an LCD screen display to track your speed, distance, total steps, time, calories per minute, total calories, climb indicator, and heart rate.

Customer Reviews

Be Cautious
This is the consumer version of the Nautilus Treadclimber. It's smaller than the Nautilus machine but otherwise very similar.

24 Hour Fitness gyms bought a bunch of these a few years back and introduced them with great fanfare.

The good news - excellent workout. Far better than treadmills or ellipticals in my experience.

The bad news - they were all recalled after most wore out.

Nautilus introduced a new improved version. Again - excellent workout. Sadly, again, most wore out.

Hopefully someday Nautilus/Bowflex will solve all the problems and release a version 3 that lasts. Till then, given the "no labor" and the short hydraulic warranty I'd be very cautious about purchasing one.

The equipment seems to be well built, however, instructions are poor (at best). For example: Instructions for calibration indicate if power goes off, machine should be recalibrated. Must it be recalibrated every time machine is disconnected from power? Must it be recalibrated every time machine turned off at the Power Switch?

took about 3 hours to put together, needed a second person to help with a couple of steps but came together nicely and works very well so far.
