Bowflex TC3000 Treadclimber

I can't stand treadmills or ellipticals, so this was the obvious choice. I'm glad we purchased this. I use it daily, and after one month, my clothes are fitting a little bit better. The best part is that I feel better and sleep like a baby at night. However, the downside is that my 6'2" husband can't find much use for this, since he can't take a long enough stride on it. So if you're tall (or just have particularly long legs), you might need to cough up the bucks and upgrade to one of the models with the longer treadles.

I bought the treadclimber 3000 for my wife. It is not as good as you all may think. The installation was ridiculous,they should have put it together more before the shipment. As for the shocks i have 3 pairs all with cracked tops so you cannot even adjust the resistance. I received 2 replacements from bowflex which both came damaged.I noticed there is no stopper on the adjustment so if you continue to turn it past the 12 and go to a lower # it will throw it completely off.It is definitly not a proffesional unit as in a gym for this kind of $. My advise to you all is buy what you use and see for yourself in a gym which is used constantly. This machine looks as if it wont last for 6 months.

Because of the business of my life, I do not have the time to make it to a gym on a routine basis. Therefore, I take great consideration when it comes to investing in a piece of work-out equipment. I have been diligently using an elliptical for over a year now and it's done a fairly good job of working my lower body. But, it gets boring and it started to make my hips ache. After researching the TreadClimber for over a year (the cost was a big factor for me), I decided I'd purchase it because it not only worked my lower body, but was versatile enough for cardio. So the "three-pieces-of-equipment-in-one" was a big selling point to me. If I could go back, I would not have bought the TreadClimber and here's a few reason's why: 1. The hydraulics with the stepping are awkward and they do not go up and down on their own (cheaply engineered for the price I was paying). So, if you are like me and do not walk "perfectly", the machine will pull to one side - not moving up and down... Read more

I got mine last month and really like it. Wasn't crazy about having to put it together but I didn't have any problems. It was a little heavy for me but managed it just fine alone. (I am a woman) I love the size, it doesn't take up the whole room like treadmills do and being able to do more than one thing with it is a plus. It does take a little getting used to if you have never used one before. I'd recommend it to everyone.

I bought this TC3000 Treadclimber when it was still Nautilus branded. So, I've had it for 4 or more years. I've really beaten it up. For a time I was on it for two hours a day at 4 mph (top speed). I still use it as a regular part of my aerobic routine (along with my ellipticals, and my rowers). About 6 months ago I did replace the motor, but I was able to do it myself, but I have no complaints since it had lasted so long with no real maintenance issues. This is a great purchase and it is more reasonable than the TC5000 and has all the required bells and whistles with none of the higher priced frills. I have looked longingly at the newest high end model, but I have trouble justifying the price when the old workhouse is still going strong.
