The LifeSpan TR1200i folding treadmill is durable, reliable, and loaded with valuable features, helping you walk, jog, or run with confidence in the comfort of your own home. The treadmill's pleasing design includes safe and convenient handlebar controls, which let you control your speed and incline without ever removing your hands from the handlebars. As a result, you can run or walk without fear of losing your concentration or balance while adjusting your pace. The TR1200i is also built for comfort and power, with a 2.5-horsepower motor, 2.5-inch front rollers, a spacious 20-by-56-inch running surface, and a biomechanically sound deck suspension system that supports people up to 300 pounds. And to help you track your workout progress, the treadmill automatically saves your exercise data. Once the info is saved, you can upload it to your personal online LifeSpan Fitness Club account, giving you access to exercise programs and detailed reports of your exercise and health results.
 The multicolored LCD console tracks your time, distance, calories, and more. |
In addition to the preset programs, the treadmill offers two My Zone heart rate control programs and two custom programs. The My Zone Constant program keeps your heart rate at a constant level--thereby using your heart rate as a fitness tool--while the My Zone Interval program lets you enter your own minimum and maximum hear rate. As you exercise, the treadmill speed and incline will automatically adjust to keep your heart rate at the preferred level. By contrast, the custom programs are fully adaptable to your favored workout formula. That's because you're in charge of setting the speed and incline level for each of the 20 program segments, and then saving them for future use.
As a bonus, when you purchase a LifeSpan TR1200i treadmill, you automatically receive a membership to the LifeSpan Fitness Club. This comprehensive online health management program, powered by the Interactive Health Partner, lets you select exercise programs, track and manage your fitness and health results, and receive motivating support as you work toward achieving your goals. The LifeSpan Fitness Club is easy to use: each time you work out on the TR1200i, the treadmill automatically saves your exercise results on your LifeSpan . Because the device is personalized with your age, gender, and weight, not only do you bypass setup screens, you also receive accurate calorie calculations based on your data. Every 20 seconds during your workout, the console will then record your heart rate, minutes, miles, steps, and calories. You'll then have access to a full set of detailed reports and fun facts that you can analyze or share with friends, family, fitness coaches, or physicians.
Other details include a set of built-in, high-quality speakers and a iPod/headphone jack, making it easy to listen to music as you walk or run; an Intelli-Step step-counting feature that works like a pedometer; 15 incline levels.
 The treadmill includes a folding frame with an automatic EZ Drop system. |

The first two times I tried to use this treadmill it ran smoothly and quietly. The third time it squeaked and creeked like crazy. Because I don't live in an urban area. it took a month to get service for this and to get someome to come and see what the problem was. Service was great but 3-4 days later it was doing the same thing. The company gave me instructions to give to my husband to do what the service men did. He took the hood/shield off the motor parts and there were cracks and broken parts in that hood and it is made out of very cheap plastic. He reinforced it with washers and screws and some super bonding glue and then it was running quietly again for this past week. It sounds like the creaking is coming back and I am pretty sure I am going to have to ask for an entre new hood. I really like this treadmill for its features but this has been an ongoing struggle. Additionally, on the initial assembly, the screw holes on the handle bars did not match up well and the holes had to be bored out more. Thank goodness I have a spouse with all the tools and knowhow.
I love the Lifespanfitness program and how it tracks all of my sessions and I also love that this treadmill counts steps, somthing I have always done and I think the milage feature is not quite accurate for me. The speakers are worthless so I either just use headphones with my ipod or I have a little speaker system near my treadmill that my ipod plugs into.
The company people I dealt with were very good and it is easy to get a real live person. Took over a month though to get a service representive to my small town in western south dakota. If you live in a rural area you might want to think twice about ordering this treamill.
The company should replace the hood material with somthing more durable than cheap plasic that breaks and cracks easily. The treadmill under that seems solid and durable. Many nice features on the console like the buttons to immediately go to 3, 4, 5, 6 miles an hour without having to do all that scrolling. Ditto for bottons to pop to different inclines. Than handle bar buttons for increasing speed and incline can be a little sensitive and I often hit them when I don't mean to and then the speed and incline changes erratically, but it can be changed back pretty easily. Those buttons can be a nice feature when using the reading rack without having to move the reading material. Really nice deep cup holders to hold all kinds of things.
This treadmill would get a 5 from me if service hadn't been so hard to get, if assembly went a little smoother and screw holes lined up right, and especially if the hool was not of such cheap construction.

I recently purchased the 1200i model treadmill from Lifespan fitness and I have used this treadmill for about two weeks now. I am very pleased with the treadmill. I particularly enjoy the layout of the treadmill. It has a perfect size console, depicting the information very clearly. It is almost overwhelming that some treadmills have humungous dashboards in front of you when you are running. The LCD screen is very clear and easy to read. I especially enjoy the incline adjustment right on the handles. It doesn't disturb the flow of the workout. The belt and motor are very quiet. The console and handlebars are stable even when I am running. My last treadmill made a belt slapping sound and the console shook like crazy when I ran. The technology on this machine is also very unique. This unit has a program that records steps, like a pedometer which is motivating rather than just staring at the time slowly shave away! Also, you receive another perk when purchasing this unit: a free LifeSpan fitness club membership. I have only begun to use this capability, so I do not know if it's beneficial or not. But, the concept is to record your workouts electronically and manage fitness goals. The treadmill allows for the capability to listen to music while you workout. Surprisingly, the sound quality is very clear, even with the belt running. I look forward to many years of usage with this machine and it comes with my full recommendation.

(NOTE: LifeSpan upgraded my order to the TR 3000i. The TR 3000i is identical in appearance and function to the 1200i, but has a longer warranty, an upgraded motor, and a slightly thicker deck, all of which give it a higher rated weight capacity.)
I ordered the LifeSpan based exclusively on the positive Amazon reviews. It was a few hundred dollars more than another model I was considering, but for something this big, this heavy, and this expensive that I will hopefully use for a few decades, I figured the few hundred dollars would be worth the investment. I tried to find local fitness equipment resellers where I could look at treadmills, but it was very difficult to find any, and they were far away, making a trip inconvenient. Ordering on Amazon was just a few clicks.
After placing my order, LifeSpan called me to tell me that they were out of stock of the 1200i, but would upgrade me to the 3000i at no charge. The 3000i is identical physically, it apparently just has an upgraded motor and warranty. I said "Sure!"
A day later, I received a call from the custom delivery company to schedule the delivery time. The next day, they arrived an hour early (8am).
It took two very large delivery guys to bring the large box into the house. The box was in good condition and nothing was damaged inside.
I was able to push the box through my house and into my office by myself, and unbox and fully assemble the treadmill nearly all by myself (my wife helped with a few steps). A second person will be helpful, but with patience, a single strong person can do it.
I took my time on the assembly, and in about an hour I had it all done. It powered right up and worked perfectly out of the box. The platform and belt are fully assembled, so there is no need to mess with adjustments or difficult assembly.
The treadmill is well designed and is physically very stable and solid. Excellent construction.
Since I will be using this in my home office and wanted to use it while on telephone calls, I was concerned about how quiet it would be. The treadmill motor itself is very, very quiet. What actually makes the most noise are my footsteps hitting the belt/deck, and the resulting noise from the friction on the belt. But it is quiet enough that unless I tell people that I am on a treadmill and they listen for the background noise, they would never know.
The console display is bright and relatively easy to read. It displays speed, incline, steps, calories, elapsed time, pulse, and probably a few other things I can't remember. From what I can tell, I can't change the values displayed. For instance, I would like to have it sometimes display the clock / current time of day instead of the elapse time--or have it cycle back and forth every X seconds. From what I can tell, the clock only displays when the treadmill is stopped and the session is ended. (although admittedly I haven't scoured the manual or tried very hard to look).
I personally only use two buttons on the console: Start and Stop. I don't use any of the predefined routines and presets and programs. I just want to start and stop. The buttons on the handlebars are great, allowing me to easily adjust speed and incline without having to reach up to the console.
There are two large cup/bottle holders on each side of the console that are very deep. They completely swallow the typical small 16oz water bottle, so on one side I put something in the bottom to raise my drink up higher.
The only very minor complaint I have is with the fit of the plastic pieces on the 'arms'. The edges where the top and bottom pieces join aren't flush, so there's a sharp plastic edge along the seams of both sides of both arms. This is totally trivial, but it's the only minor flaw I've found with the treadmill so far. I will probably shave the edge down with a razor blade so that it is smoother.
The most surprising feature for me was the USB port and the Fitness Club 'membership'. I didn't think I would care about it or use it, but it's a really great feature to see exactly how much time, how many steps, how many calories, and average pulse all displayed online in a daily and weekly exercise journal. It serves as a great reminder of how much you've 'accomplished' on the treadmill.
And since I have mine in my home office, I wanted to work while walking. It turns out that my laptop fits perfectly on the console. I bought the Logitech Portable Lapdesk N315 from Amazon.com, which rests on top of the handlebar and console, perfectly level and in a good enough position to let me type, use a mouse, and see the laptop display.
Logitech Portable Lapdesk N315
I've also mounted a 32" LCD TV in front of the treadmill, allowing me to send my my laptop display to the TV and do work on a really large screen.
Like most everyone else, I had reservations buying a big, expensive treadmill online without seeing or trying it first. But like other purchasers, I'm very happy with my purchase.
I have zero regrets about choosing LifeSpan, about the price, or about having purchased a treadmill. It has been fantastic, and has completely changed how I work at home and exercise.
I now spend 1-2 hours a day on the treadmill while working, which is more exercise than I would normally get in an entire week. It has been a fantastic investment, and I only wish that I had bought one sooner.
Jan 2012 Update: The treadmill is still working great, zero issues. One caveat to consider. I am having the carpet replaced in my house, and I realized that the assembled treadmill is too large to move out through my office door. In order to remove it, it has to be disassembled. Just pay attention to how it is assembled, and make sure to keep the included tools, and the disassembly can be done in under 15 minutes. The key is to fold down the bars so they are parallel with the deck, just like it was in the shipping box. You can then tilt it up on one side and slide it out of the room. It is much easier to move collapsed like this than to try and move it fully assembled. I don't know where I put the original tools, but luckily I had a set of metric hex wrenches--other than that, you need a phillips screwdriver and a crescent wrench.
