Freemotion t8.9b Treadmill Review

How long will the Freemotion t8.9b last?

The Freemotion t8.9b treadmill has a hefty weight of 358.7 lbs. and can hold users with a maximum weight of 400 lbs. which covers a variety of consumer types. The t8.9b comes with a disappointing low frame warranty of 7 years, 3 years on mechanical and electronic parts, and 1 year on labor. Freemotion built a treadmill to last a rush of multiple users and then did not back up their offering with a solid warranty but the warranty, like the treadmill, is mainly designed for commercial purposes. Moderate users should get a multitude of years from this machine with proper care and maintenance.

Brief Overview

The Freemotion t8.9b is a decent offering for those who want a commercial grade treadmill that is durable and offers interval training. Users with iFit memberships can travel the world by simply plugging in their smart devices or the t8.9b can be upgraded with an optional purchase of a 15.6” personal HDTV screen. A sync button allows members to quickly link to their iFit profile making their workout experience more enjoyable with its personalized touch.

Overall Quality

The Freemotion t8.9b treadmill is a powerful treadmill with appealing features to most all levels of fitness fans. Beginning walkers to seasoned joggers can make the most of the 4.0 HP motor, enjoying smooth performance while they glide over the ample 21.5” x 60” running area. A max speed of 12 MPH offers multiple opportunities for training and the 0 to 15% incline maximizes exercise options for a huge number of fitness fans.
The Freemotion t8.9b treadmill comes with a simplified display that offers 26 built in workouts and has an assortment of electronic readouts that share fitness performance and other pertinent information to help users keep up with workout accomplishments. IFit members can plug in their devices to access a treasure trove of workout material or simply opt to purchase the 15.6” HDTV screen. Sweaty users will appreciate the detachable fan and the other standard features offered on this treadmill. It is amazing to realize the difference a simple USB port or 3.5 mm jack is to the overall workout experience, not to mention cup holders for hydrating needs. Convenient pulse sensors measure heart rates while transport wheels come in handy if you ever decide to move this mammoth of a machine.

Conclusion

The Freemotion t8.9b treadmill is a commercial grade machine that can withstand moderate use and the low impact cardiovascular conditioning makes it ideal for any kind of workout environment. It has been built to last and is still a stellar offering without the iFit membership and low warranty. This machine was designed with superior performing components, and it is rather frustrating that the models offered by Freemotion carry such low warranties for home use when other manufacturers and even the parent company iFit makes brands that come with lifetime frame and longer motor warranties. Comparing similar brand offerings can help you prioritize options to best find which treadmill calls out to you enough for you to invest your hard-earned money.
