Livestrong Fitness model LS16.9 T Treadmill is a very high end model treadmill from this seller. Its unique design makes it eye catching, and the treadmill also has a very contemporary feel. When placed side by side with traditional treadmills, the LS16.9 definitely stands out. However, it is not only the look of this machine that makes it one of Livestrong’s top sellers. This treadmill is extremely durable as well.

The LS16.9T treadmill was designed as a hybrid of two popular models by Johnson Fitness. It is a hybrid of both the Horizon and Vision model treadmill. The look of the treadmill is modeled after the Horizon, however, the durability and the quality of engineering is definitely modeled after Vision. This is great, since Vision Fitness is known all over the world for its high quality machines.

This treadmill was built with a continuous duty motor, which means that it has the power to run effortlessly at higher speeds. This 3.35 motor is a very attractive feature for runners. Heavy use of this machine is expected, as it is built exactly for that. When the machine runs, it runs very quietly. This is the case at extremely high speeds, which is a testament to the durability and strength of the motor. Another benefit is that the weight limit on the machine is 400lbs, which is quite high.

This machine is also equipped with a 20” x 60” tread belt. This gives walkers and runners adequate length to handle very long strides. This is also a great feature for tall individuals. The tread belt is an orthopedic design, which means that there is quite a bit of additional cushioning. This cushioning helps to reduce the impact.

This model has both speakers and an iPod output device as well. Pioneer brand speakers are used and the quality of the speakers is very high. There are volume controls equipped with the speaker. These controls are built into the treadmill console. The console also has a tracking feature, which allows users to track their progress. This feature gives the ability to track progress over the past days, weeks, and months.

The LS16.9T has a lifetime motor warranty as well. There is a 2-year labor coverage warranty, which is definitely adequate, and a 5-year parts and service warranty. These warranties prove that this machine was definitely built to last. With this treadmill, you have the strength, longevity and durability that you would get with a Vision model treadmill at a much lower cost.

Overall, the LiveStrong LS16.9T treadmill is a very powerful machine with a lot of great features. It is a great looking machine, has a powerful motor, uses an extended tread belt with cushioning for joint support, has great shock absorption, and has progress tracking software as well as entertainment features. If you are looking for a machine that is solid, has a great reputation as well as an attractive design, the Livestrong LS16.9T is definitely worth your consideration.
