CYBEX LCX-425T Treadmill Review

CYBEX LCX-425T Treadmill

Offering a commercial-sized running surface in a space-saving footprint, the Cybex LCX-425T is suitable for everything from upscale homes and residential condos to hotel gyms and corporate fitness facilities.

The split-level LED display tracks your time, distance, calories, and more. The LCX-425T owes its compact, user-friendly design to its open-front structure, which keeps the hood cover from getting in the way of a natural stride. This unobstructed path maximizes the treadmill’s usable running area, a must for runners with smaller workout spaces. The treadmill ups the ante, however, with its Intelligent Suspension (IS3) deck. So smart it matches the runner’s stride, the IS3 is unlike traditional floating decks, which can cause instability in a runner’s gait. Instead, the IS3 absorbs the impact of landing where it occurs–it’s soft at landing, hard in the middle, and rigid at toe-off, helping it precisely match the body mechanics of a runner. The LCX-425T is also smooth at any speed thanks to the 3.0-horsepower motor with Pulse Width Modulation. The PWM feature combines with the rugged 2.75-inch rollers to guarantee exceptionally smooth operation whether you’re walking casually or running hard. Plus, the treadmill’s solid steel construction is vibration-free, so it’ll feel every bit as stable as more expensive models. And runners will love the little details, such as the split-level consoles designed to match the way you use a treadmill, the pair of water bottle holders, the magazine rack and tabs, and the utility tray.

The LCX-425T challenges you with a variety of workout options, including nine preset programs with 10 levels each. Each program lets you vary both incline and resistance, so you can find an intensity level that works for you. The treadmill also includes a heart rate control program, a quick start program, and a manual mode.

TrekDesk Treadmill Desk Review

TrekDesk Treadmill Desk

Too busy to work out on a daily basis? Turn to the TrekDesk treadmill desk, which encourages you to walk slowly on a treadmill while you talk to clients, type up proposals, or catch up on your email. Designed to attach to most existing treadmills, the TrekDesk was originally built for offices, with a variety of features meant to keep employees productive and fit throughout the day. The desktop offers a generous workspace that measures 72 inches long by 34 inches wide, and includes such desktop accessories as a manuscript holder that keeps books and magazines upright; a file folder with three levels; accessory slots to keep accessories on the desktop; a top stand that holds your telephone, headset, or cell phone; and two cup/utility holders. The desk’s center cutout, meanwhile, keeps all treadmill controls and accessories within easy reach, while also positioning your body close enough to type on a laptop or use a mouse. And despite the TrekDesk’s foldable design, it’s extremely sturdy when attached, with two height-adjustable support legs (fixed 49 inches apart) providing a solid, robust steel base, and a premium powder-coated steel frame that’s built to last a lifetime. The frame is topped off by a resilient, steel-reinforced, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) desktop.

The TrekDesk offers a number of benefits to both work and home users. Not only does it encourage weight loss, disease prevention, and overall physical health, but it also improves your mood and increases your productivity. Studies show that a TrekDesk can increase blood flow to the brain, helping improve your memory by as much as 15 percent in a six-month period. At the same time, walking on a treadmill promotes healthy restorative sleep patterns, which in turn decreases your stress levels and keeps you happier. In short, the TrekDesk can help encourage a total overhaul of your mental and physical well-being.

Other features include beveled edges for comfort and appearance; a height-adjustment console that adjusts to the perfect ergonomic position for typing (the desktop suits employees between 5 feet 4 inches and 6 feet 4 inches tall); robust metal support arms for added strength and durability; and a durable scuff-resistant work surface. The TrekDesk–which sets up easily within 30 to 45 minutes–supports up to 55 pounds of equipment and weighs 57 pounds by itself. It also carries a two-year warranty.

Desk Size: 74 inches by 34 inches
