Workout in the comfort of your own home with the Schwinn 810 Treadmill!  Designed for the home gym, the Schwinn 810 Treadmill is suitable for people of all fitness levels – walk, jog or run on the treadmill’s generous sized running deck (20” wide x 55” long) and workout at your own pace with a speed range between 0 to 10 mph.

The electric-powered Schwinn 810 Treadmill utilizes a 2.6 CHP motor and 2” crowned rollers to ensure smooth operation of the running belt and the deck features a SoftTrak cushioning system (3 cell) to help absorb the impact of your run, i.e. it’s easier on your ankles and joints than running on a harder surface!

The Schwinn 810 Treadmill offers plenty of features to keep your workouts varied and progressively challenging including 0-10 mph speed range, 0-10 % motorized-adjustable incline range, and 16 built-in workout programs (3 training, 3 weight control, 3 quick goal, 3 interval, 2 heart health, 1 manual, 1 custom program).

The Schwinn 810 Treadmill allows for 2 user profiles, i.e. 2 different people in your household can keep track of their individual workout stats on the treadmill’s console.  The console itself is intuitive to use and features a blue backlit LCD screen for easy viewing of your workout stats.  Stats displayed include time, distance, speed, heart-rate, calories, incline level, lap and pace.  Your heart-rate is measured when you place your hands on the integrated pulse grip sensors.

In addition to the 16 built-in programs, the Schwinn 810 Treadmill also offers the option to sync your treadmill via Bluetooth to the Explore the World App, available on your mobile phone/tablet, for additional workouts, exciting global trails, online fitness tracking and more.  You can move at your own pace with the App as it auto adjusts to your speed.  You get 3 FREE courses with the Explore the World App but then a subscription is required to unlock more.  With new scenic destinations being regularly added, the Explore the World App breathes new life into your workouts and is great if you’re the sort of person who gets bored easily! 

It’s great to find that the Schwinn 810 also incorporates other high-end features not typically found on a treadmill at this low price point, including:  a sound system with Acoustic chamber stereo speakers, MP3 input, USB charging port, media shelf, 3-speed cooling fan, dual water bottle holders, and a Soft Drop folding deck.

The Schwinn 810’s Soft Drop folding deck system allows for safe and easy folding upwards and lowering down of the deck to help save space when not in use and this treadmill also features integrated transport wheels for easy relocating if needed.

Sturdily and durably built, the Schwinn 810 Treadmill allows for a maximum user weight capacity of up to  273 lbs (124 kg).  The treadmill itself weighs around 154 lbs (70 kg) and measures around 69” x 35.6” x 56.7”.

Bowflex LateralX L5 versus L3 Machine, Comparison Review

The Bowflex LateralX L5 and L3 Machines are full-body low-impact cardio machines that burn an average of 39% MORE calories than a self-paced elliptical trainer, delivering exceptional fitness results without the jarring impact of traditional exercise.

The unique action of the Bowflex LateralX L5 and L3 Machines allows you to move in 3 directions to activate/tone muscles and burn calories:  glide from side-to-side while pushing/pulling or standing/squatting.

Ergonomically designed, both the Bowflex LateralX L5 and L3 Machines feature Performance Suspension Pedals for user comfort.  The LateralX L5 has the advantage of an adjustable lateral range compared to the L3’s fixed lateral range.

Both of the Bowflex LateralX machines feature both moving and static handlebars but if you look at the pictures, you’ll see that there’s a difference in the design of the handlebars, with the L5 featuring 4-position dynamic handgrips compared to the L3’s 2-position dynamic handgrips

The LateralX L5’s handlebars feature multi-grip positions for different workout options.  Both the L5 and L3’s static handlebars feature integrated pulse grip heart-rate sensors (the L5 also comes with a heart-rate strap which the L3 doesn’t have) and quick-adjust buttons for changing the resistance levels of the machine.  The LateralX L5’s static handlebars also have quick-adjust buttons to adjust the lateral stride which the L3 does not have.

Both the Bowflex LateralX L5 and L3 Machines come with an easy-to-use console with Bluetooth 4.0 compatibility and both consoles feature a 7.5” blue backlit LCD screen for easy viewing of workout programs and stats.

Being the premium machine over the L3, the LateralX L5’s console allows for more user profiles (4 compared to 2), more programs (10 compared to 7) and more resistance levels (10 compared to 8).

Both the Bowflex LateralX L5 and L3 Machines feature the flagship X-Mode 16 minute interval program.  Other programs include Total Body, Stand Squat, Dual Direction, Fat Burn, Calorie Goal and a Manual option.  The L5 has additional programs such as Lateral, Thigh Toner and Quad Power, which the L3 does not have.

In addition to the built-in programs, Bowflex offers a FREE LateralX App that’s available on both Android and iOS for access to a further 30 full-length workouts in video form with fitness trainers guiding and motivating you through a range of classes for both beginners and advanced athletes – classes range from Basics to Athletic Condition to Cross Training.  There are even optional SelectTech dumbbell workouts available too.

Besides the additional workouts options, the Bowflex LateralX App also allows you to sync your workouts, track your stats, set goals, collect awards and more.  The App workouts are powered by Bowflex Radio with a wide range of music including pop, country and rock.

Additional high-end features found on both the Bowflex LateralX L5 and L3 Machines include audio speakers to listen to your favorite music as you exercise, 3-speed cooling fan, media shelf to place your tablet/mobile phone and a handy water bottle holder.

Sturdily and durably constructed, the Bowflex LateralX L5 and L3 Machines support a high user weight capacity of up to 300 lbs (136 kg).  The machines themselves weigh around 285 lbs each and have a footprint of around 136 cm long by 117.7 cm wide by 159.8 cm high.
