Performance
The TC200 is a TreadClimber which is designed for a low-impact, walking-based workout. It combines the movements of the treadmill, stair climber, and elliptical to create a one-of-a-kind machine with a smooth, fluid motion. This model comes equipped with 12 resistance levels and speeds up to 4.5 mph suiting a wide range of fitness levels and provides a steady cardio option for your home. The console is ready with 5 workout programs and tracks up to 4 users. The TC200 is equipped with longer treadles allowing for longer strides. But the overall best feature is the wireless heart rate monitoring and included chest strap for more accurate fitness data and heart rate based programming.
On top of its innovative mechanics, the TC200 comes equipped with its own fitness app – a motivational tool designed to track progress, set goals and provide awards once goals are met. This interactive app provides feedback and compares new results with past results and even against other users. Once a goal is met new landmarks can be unlocked and trophies are awarded. It is designed to keep you coming back for more. The console is also Bluetooth enabled to share information easily with compatible apps like My Fitness Pal, Apple Health Kit, Google Fit & Bowflex Connect.
This machine is designed for a specific workout style – walking. Some users might find it limiting as they improve and desire new goals, such as running a desired distance. In that case, this machine will not be able to provide more dynamic training. But keep in mind that it can be a great at home option and used as a rest or recovery exercise for those seeking more intense training else where.
