 Good workout, finding parts could be a drawback May 18, 2010
I have a first generation Treadclimber. I'm talking truly first generation because I bought it when treadclimber was owned by "Weider" as opposed to "Bowflex". I have really been happy with the machine as it has survived several moves and wear and tear. It does produce some odd noises now in its age and I would, also, hope that finding affordable replacement parts was a little easier. I need to replace the pistons on it, but all the places I have searched are pretty expensive. It seems a little ridiculous that these parts would cost so much. The cheapest I have found them was for $[...]
If anyone has had any luck with finding cheap replacement parts or this product, I would be interested to hear what tip you might have.

 Still waiting to see if this was worth it Aug 07, 2009
Ordered this refurbished machine on 7/19/09. It was delivered on 7/29/09. It was missing the main bolts that attach the treadle to the base and the motor mount screw. Called Amazon and was transferred to Bowflew. I spoke to rep there who was going to register the treadclimber and send me the missing hardware on 7/30/09. On 8/5/09 called Bowflex again to make sure the order was processed. It wasn't. Stayed on the phone about an hour trying to get hardware ordered. I should now receive it in a few days so it will be about 2 weeks since receiving it before I even know if this machine works. While playing around with it, it seems the weight input on the console would not increase over 136 lbs. No one at Bowflex could answer why, but told me to wait and see what happens when it is together and properly calibrated. I am not very confident about everything working okay. Refurbished was a good savings but if the problems don't get fixed soon, it won't have been worth it. It is very heavy and expensive to have to pay shipping on something that doesn't work and I don't think it is fair that I have to pay for it, considering it was missing major hardware and the console may be broken. I will stick it our for now and hope for the best, instead of putting out money for shipping for nothing. I think this could be a good machine for me, if and when it gets fixed. Not impressed with Amazon with this transaction either...

 Great value Jul 17, 2009
I got this as a refurbished model and saved a bundle of money. I use it all the time and I'm glad I bought it. There were some broken pieces in the box. I guess I got lucky and these were non-crucial plastic housing parts and not anything mechanical.
