The Epic T60 Treadmill Rocks

The Epic T60 treadmill, an economical choice for both running and walking exercise, is available only to Costco members. This members-only discount warehouse retail specialist has locations all over the globe - 37 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, 65 warehouses in Canada, 16 in the U.K, 25 in Mexico, 5 each in Japan and Korea, and 4 in Taiwan.

Icon Health and Fitness Inc. is the manufacturer of the Epic T60 treadmill. Icon offers one of the most extensive arrays of treadmill and other sports and exercise products the world over, for both home exercise enthusiasts as well as dedicated competitive runners. Many of its sports products are produced exclusively for wholesalers or retailers, many of them members-only organizations.

The Epic T60 treadmill was created with a specific user in mind - someone heavy (up to 350 pounds), who is looking for equipment to be used in her or his home. The Epic T60 offers several informative feedback displays that include the number of calories burned as you run or walk, the time, the distance you run or walk, and your running speed. Your heart rate is constantly monitored through the means of the Epic T60 treadmill's pulse sensor for your chest, an optional device. Sensor grips to monitor your pulse rate are part of the standard T60 package as well.

There are several workout programs built into the Epic T60 treadmill, either preset or customizable. Best of all, it folds away easily - a nice feature for home exercise equipment.

One noteworthy concern about the Epic T60 treadmill is that while its motor is warranteed for 12 years, the warranty for parts and labor is a very short ninety days.

The Epic T60 treadmill generally retails for under $1000.
