Comparing Bowflex TC100 versus Bowflex TC200 TreadClimber, What's the Difference

The Bowflex TC100 and Bowflex TC200 TreadClimbers offer a unique easy but very effective low-impact walking workout that burns up to 2.5 times more calories than working out on a treadmill at the same speed. TreadClimbers give a good cardio workout and help to tone your core, back, glutes, thighs, calves and legs.

The Bowflex TC200 is the premium model over the TC100, but both TreadClimbers work in the same way, combining the motions of a treadmill, stair climber and elliptical trainer in 1 machine:

You walk forward on 2 treadles with moving belts (like a treadmill)

As you move forward, you step up (like a stair climber)

With each step, the treadles rise to meet your feet (like an elliptical)

The Bowflex TC100 and TC200 TreadClimbers are suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels.  They’re both straightforward and easy to use and offer variable speed control so you can work out at your own pace and progress in your own time.  There’s a slight difference in the maximum speed between the two TreadClimbers, with the TC100 allowing for speeds up to 4 mph while the TC200 allows for speeds up to 4.5 mph.

For variety and challenge, the Bowflex TreadClimber TC100 features 4 free Motion Traxx guided workouts, while the TC200 features 5 programs for Just Walk, Calorie Goal, Time Goal, Distance Goal, and Interval.

In addition, the Bowflex TC200 TreadClimber features integrated Bluetooth Connectivity which the TC100 doesn’t have.  The TC200’s Bluetooth technology combined with the free TreadClimber app allows you to set, monitor and track your personal fitness goals online as well as having access to Bowflex’s online community with free trainer tips and diet advice.  You can also connect to My Fitness Pal, Google Fit, Apple Health Kit and Bowflex Connect.

Both the Bowflex TC100 and TC200’s consoles feature an interactive fully backlit LCD screen that displays motivating workout stats as you exercise like time, distance, speed, calories burned and heart rate.

Stats displayed are fairly accurate as you are able to input data for gender, year of birth, and weight of user.  The Bowflex TC100 allows for 2 different user profiles, while the TC200 allows for 4 different user profiles.

Both TreadClimbers feature pulse grip heart-rate monitors in the handlebars, but the TC200 is also compatible with a heart-rate chest-strap (included) and features a unique Heart Rate Zone Light Bar that tracks your heart-rate across 4 different zones for warm up, fat burn, cardio, and performance.

Additional features incorporated into both the Bowflex TC100 and TC200 TreadClimber’s consoles include a USB charging port, a media shelf to hold your mobile phone, tablet or music player, and water bottle holders.

The Bowflex TreadClimber TC100 and TC200 are solidly built for long-lasting durability and both accommodate a user weight capacity of up to 300 lbs.

There’s a slight difference in the overall dimensions between the 2 TreadClimbers, with the TC100 being slightly longer in length as it has the addition of a Rear Machine Step Platform which the TC200 does not have, but the TC200 has slightly longer treadles.  Both TreadClimbers have a smaller footprint (see specifications below) than a treadmill or elliptical trainer making them easier to fit into a smaller space in your home.





Useful Tip:  Just a 30 minute workout on a TreadClimber could burn up to 423 calories (based on 3.0 mph on Maximum Treadle Setting).
