TR150

I have had the treadmill for about a month now and can say I am very pleased with this purchase. I am getting on 4-5 times a week for 30-60 minutes per day and it is working well. It is the perfect size for my space in my townhome. It was easy for me to assemble myself - just attaching a couple of pieces. I am able to do run/walk intervals and the speed adjusts very easily. I love that if I have to pause for any reason, when I re-start it automatically resumes at the pace I paused at (the one I used at the gym would make me start back at 0.5 and would also cancel my workout if I didn’t resume after 30 seconds). It comes with 12 pre-set options but I haven’t tried them out yet. I have just been doing my own paces based on my workout playlist for the day. It folds up very easily to save space or to move it. There only 2 negatives I have found so far, neither of which are deal breakers in my opinion. The highest incline is not very high at all. On the professional gym models I would walk at high inclines in Intervals to work different muscles. My fix for this is I have been wearing a medium to heavy resistance stretch band around my thighs during walks on this treadmill and I am feeling the same muscles being worked as when I would do high incline walks before. Also, the heart rate meter does not seem accurate at all. It registered my heart rate at 82 after I did a 1:30 jog even though my wrist tracker registered 152. Since I do wear a watch/tracker anyway this is not a big deal to me. Overall, I would recommend this treadmill as a good and affordable home option. I am able to get a very comparable workout vs the treadmill I used to use at the gym.

I have had this treadmill 5 years now and it is still working great. I walk on it 30-60 minutes a day most days and its held up perfectly. It also folds up and out of the way, its the perfect size and great price point for what I needed.

In short: Treadmill works really well when working properly. Support is terrible. For the amount of money we paid for this treadmill we were hoping for very few hiccups and that it would just work. Wasn't quite the case. Assembly was pretty straightforward. Parts are a little heavy so you may need assistance putting it together but I was able to do it by myself. *Important* This treadmill requires a grounded plug. I've seen reviews with this problem, if you don't have the proper outlet this treadmill WILL NOT WORK. First of all, this treadmill has a three prong power cable. So your outlet will need to have either the three holes, or an adapter. But that's not all. THE OUTLET CANNOT HAVE THE LITTLE BLACK AND RED BUTTONS. Some outlets have these little red and black buttons by the outlets. I believe the red button usually is labeled as "reset". If your outlet has these buttons... DO NOT BUY THIS TREADMIILL. Or any treadmill really. Because of the heavy motor, it will trip the outlet every single time! This needs an outlet without those little buttons in order to work. Luckily for me I had a outlet like this several feet away and an extension cord did the trick. Now comes the bad part where I had a support issue. I assembled the treadmill and turned it on. Belt ran just fine. When I got on it, every step I took the belt stopped. I tried standing it and then turning it on, started at .5 mph moved it up to 3mph. Same thing, every time I took a step or stood up normally the belt would just get stuck under me. I weigh 185lbs and even my girlfriend who weighs considerably less tried it with same results. Weight capacity is actually 250lbs on this machine. I called the support line and I get connected to what sounded like a little office in Arkansas. The rep told me to tighten the belt. With no results. He then told me to lubricate under the belt a little. With no results. He then told me to empty the bottle of lubricant under the belt and let it run for 5 minutes. With no results. I called back and got a different support rep. He had me do the same troubleshooting steps. He then sounded confused and said that it may be the electronic board. He ordered a board to come to my house and set up a visit from a local fitness equipment company. The day came where the part arrived and the technician came to the house. He was astonished that the entire bottle of lubricant was used under the belt. He cleaned it as best he could and tightened/untightened the belt. Still was getting the same result of the belt sticking whenever weight was applied. He then called the treadmill company and was put through the ringer. They didn't really believe what he was telling them. They tried to make excuses such as him weighing too much, or that the extension cord was the problem. He said that he wanted to replace the belt because of the poor direction that was given of lubricating it so much that it was soaked with lubricant. They did not want to replace the belt because it was so expensive... The technician was so frustrated and surprised at what the support team was telling him. Finally, the technician opened up the casing of the motor and noticed that a little driving belt was loose. He moved the motor a bit, tightening the driving belt. And the treadmill finally worked as it should. We walked on the treadmill and it ran fine. He said to keep it under 4 mph to prevent risk of slippage and not avoid lubricating the belt for 6 months. All this because the support team from the manufacturer gave dangerous advice. A quick Google search shows that the driving belt is a common cause of treadmill belts slipping. They should have known this. I have been using the treadmill since and it works great. Whether walking or running, it runs as it should. I will say that it is a bit loud. I have to crank up the TV really loud to hear it. Or I just use headphones. And the calorie count is way too overestimated. But other than that I do enjoy this treadmill now. It's plenty wide and long for me. I still would recommend this treadmill. It's build solid and has everything you need. But I suggest you first make sure you have the right outlet for where you plan to put it. And if you run into a problem to contact a local fitness equipment company. Xterra or whatever the company is called is a joke when it comes to support. A quick Google search shows that they are a bit subpar when it comes to quality service. Online they're listed as this address. Spirit Fitness 3000 Nestle Rd Jonesboro, AR Again, treadmill itself is good. It's support team should be ashamed of itself for giving out instructions that could harm their own product.

I love this treadmill! Last year, before Black Friday, I was in the market for a treadmill. I do these Spartan races in the warmer months and part of that training is running and trail running. However, the winters here in the Boston area can be harsh—even for street running, and the trails are impassable with the snow and ice (good for hiking but not for running). So, I decided to invest in a treadmill; I watched a lot of videos on how to maximize one's fitness using a treadmill while keeping the hamster-on-a-wheel effect at bay. One of the keys is an auto-incline treadmill. That's when I came across the TR260 from XTerra. There are no videos on this treadmill but some written reviews. There are videos on the TR150 (that doesn't have the auto-incline). Those were actually very helpful. Essentially, the TR150 and TR260 are the same treadmill except for a few features like the auto-incline, Bluetooth FTMS, and some differences with the console. The biggest similarity is the assembly process. I watched a couple of videos on how to assemble the TR150 and it is exactly the same for assembling the TR260. Even though the manual recommends that two people carry it and put it together, it can be done by one person—watch the videos and you'll see. It did take me and the delivery guy to get the treadmill into my basement, but after that it was all me. Again, assembly was totally fine doing it solo. One thing to note though, the connectors between the console and the deck can be a bit of challenge to fit together. It took some significant wiggling to get them to connect. But it's doable. Structurally, the entire system is pretty sound. I have it on a rug surface in the basement and it does wobble a bit at really high speeds. But that's my fault. I'm working on a solution for that. I also bought the XTerra treadmill mat and that helps a bit. Now for the functioning: The auto-incline is great. I use both the buttons on the console and on the handles to dynamically change the incline as to mimic the trails changes in terrain. The top speed of 10 mph/16 kph is more than fast enough for me. Again, I use all the buttons to change the speeds on the fly. The comparison matrix for this treadmill is inaccurate. The TR260 does have incline and speed buttons on the handrails and comes with Bluetooth FTMS (more of that latter). Also, there's heart rate sensors on the handrails but I highly recommend a chest strap version that has Bluetooth for accuracy as well. Note: I do my runs using the metric system: kilometers and kilometers per hour. So, when you use the preset speed buttons in Km, once you get to the "10" button, you may be going 10 kph but you're really going 6.2 mph. However, you can go a lot faster (upto 16 kph or 10 mph) by continually pressing the increase speed button on the console or the handrail. The console display will show your speed going up 11, 12, 13, etc. The deck is softer and easier on your knees as advertised. It is a little narrow so it might not be ideal for larger runners. It's perfect for me because I'm a shorter guy and space is limited in the basement. Also, I like that it folds up. I have a complete treadmill cover to help keep the dust out when not using it. The Bluetooth works great. I use a Bluetooth heart rate monitor that connects to the console to show my heart rate. Also, I connect the console to my phone via the XTerra+ app. It's good for recording your workouts, setting goals, and sending data to various health apps. The Preset Workouts are useful when time is short. There are 12 of them and they vary in intensity. Every 3 minutes either or both the incline and speed will change. I frequently modify those on the fly depending on how intense I want the workout to be. The diagrams for the preset workouts are a little hard to see, so I suggest you enlarge and print out a copy of the presets from the manual. You can do a manually set countdown workout for either time or distance. I like to do either 8 km/5 mi or 16 km/10 mi sessions. Refer to the manual on how to set that up. Oh, I should mention that this is one of the few treadmills at its price point that can connects to external running apps like Zwift or Kinomap using the Bluetooth FTMS (Fitness Machine Service). Kinomap will control the incline of your TR260. I haven't used this yet but am planning on it. I think you get 6 months free of Kinomap when you buy an XTerra treadmill, bike, or rower. The only drawback to this treadmill are the pockets in the console that are intended for cup holders. They do not fit any cup I'm aware of. I use one to store the safety key. You might want to get an external water bottle holder if you want to keep a water bottle handy. I have something like that myself. Here's a handy tip: Definitely keep up with the maintenance cycles for this treadmill. Get some additional silicone lubrication and other treadmill maintenance tools. The motor cover comes off pretty easily—I suggest you watch a video on that. Also, the belt can be easily adjusted to ensure it stays taut and centered—watch a video on that as well. Here's another tip: Listen to podcasts or audiobooks while doing long runs on the treadmill, which will help pass the time. This treadmill meets my needs and was the MVP of my winter training that helped keep me on track for my fitness goals and Spartan races as the weather warmed up. Now that winter in coming around again, I'll be back on my TR260 quite a bit. It's a great treadmill and a great value!

Great experience with this product. Works as described. Great quality and at an affordable price. Very happy with my purchase. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Let me preface this review by saying that I will try to keep it as straightforward as I can, as I am sure that others are currently looking at this treadmill as a potential option, so I don't want to waste their (your) time. I'll also try to describe my experience as dispassionately as possible and just stick to the facts. That being said, here goes ... I purchased this treadmill in hopes that it would enable me to run/jog/walk within the comfort of my own home. In no way am I against doing any of that outside, I just felt that a treadmill would be more convenient, especially during the winter months. So, after doing a good deal of research, I landed on this particular product. I read through review after review (much like what you are doing right now), hoping that my reservations would be assuaged. Frankly, I was anxious about potentially buying a $300-$350 treadmill and expecting it to be reliable. As is the case with many things (but not everything) in life, generally the pricier the item, the better quality it is. Aside from some negative reviews here and there, the majority of people who bought this product seemed quite pleased; in fact, I'm sure the current score distribution still reflects that. Of the negative ones, however, a common complaint was that the user was getting error messages and the treadmill wouldn't operate as a consequence. Admittedly, I thought (like many other consumers do) to myself, "Nah, that was THAT person's experience. It won't be mine." So, I took a chance and bought it ... Today marks the fourth day after this treadmill arrived at my house. It lasted that long before giving up the ghost. Unlike other unfortunate users (who more than likely had it worse), this treadmill did not provide me with any clues as to what the problem might be. The owner's manual contains a page dedicated to error codes and corresponding diagnostics, but unfortunately, this became useless in my own case, as my treadmill didn't display any codes - the belt simply gave out. I used all of the old tried-and-true solutions (e.g. unplugging, then plugging its power cord back in; hitting the reset button; checking the power outlets in my home; inspecting the belt; etc.) before calling the support line. No offense to the person whom I spoke to, but he was clearly just following a list of instructions in a manual, regurgitating possible remedies that I had already tried many, many times. After 30 minutes on the phone, I resigned myself to the fact that it just wasn't going to work out (no pun intended). I had/have become one of those statistics (i.e. one-star experiences). "What did you expect? You bought a $300 treadmill ..." is a statement that I can already hear someone saying, which honestly, is very valid. But, at the risk of sounding redundant, I was in the market for a relatively inexpensive, yet reliable treadmill. I thought that this one would do the job and it did! ... but only for a few days. I believe this product comes with a warranty, so I apologize if my headline was misleading. I say, "Caveat emptor," rather in the sense that you, the potential buyer, beware. Loads of people have purchased this treadmill and it has gone favorably for them, and quite frankly, I'm happy for these folks; moreover, if you do indeed go ahead and buy it, I hope that it goes favorably for you as well. Yet, just know that there is always the possibility that it won't. At any rate, please don't approach the situation with the same folly that I had: "It won't happen to me." I hate having to write this review, because I really, really wanted to be a fan of this treadmill; in fact, after its maiden voyage (that is, the first run on it), I couldn't have been happier. Assembly took all of twenty minutes (which you can probably do quicker with another person present); the treadmill is easy to fold, affording you some more space in a room if you need it; and its operations are pretty self-explanatory. I know that some users have complained about the inaccuracy of the treadmill's calculation of distance, and while that may be true, I didn't find it to be egregious - certainly not enough to keep me from using it. Admittedly, the incline feature was/is rather useless, so I didn't pay any attention to it. What I did like about this treadmill, though - at least, while it lasted - was the ability to change speed (treadmill's range is 0-10 mph) quickly. This was especially convenient, as I was using it for HIIT. I am ultimately giving this treadmill one star, however, because it didn't go the distance (another pun). I am having to return it and instead of taking THAT chance of getting an operable replacement, I'm opting for a refund. (Getting it back into its original box - which I'm glad I kept stored away - was no small task in itself, and is something that I wouldn't want to have to go through again.) Last pun: Beware of this average run-of-the-treadmill product!

This review is written less than a week since arrival (10/6/22). I will update later if needed. I considered treadmills between $1k & $2.5k (it was a health investment after all – and “you get what you pay for”, right?), but every time I’d decided on one, there were enough negative reviews to keep me from buying. I eventually decided to start looking at lower priced models (if it’s going to break, I’d prefer not to have so much money invested). The Xterra TR150 seemed to be the best choice for my needs, so I bought it before I could change my mind once again (you know what I’m talking about). FYI, I’m 68yo female, 5’ 3.5”, 120lbs, relatively fit but not strong. • At around 100 lbs, weight is sufficient to imply that it’s solid, but manageable (vs 200-300 lbs I previously considered). I’d never have been able to manage one much larger. • The smaller footprint allowed me to keep it on the main level of the house. If I’d gotten a more substantial treadmill, it would have had to have a spot in my unfinished basement. On the main level, I’m confident it will be utilized more. Like the weight, the size makes it easier to manage. • If I’d gone with a higher priced, fancier, bigger, heavier treadmill, I’d have had to pay to get it into the house and probable pay someone to assemble it. • The lack of bells and whistles means less to go wrong. • The simplicity of design should make maintenance and troubleshooting easy. • Xterra has plenty of support for the customer via the webpage. I’ve not had to utilize calling anyone, so cannot speak to that. • It was ridiculously easy to assemble. The hardest part was getting it out of the box due to weight. • PROGRAM: I could find no documentation/videos that describe in detail what speeds each program level involve, and like some other reviewers, I was a little hesitant to use. Try starting with Program 1 to get familiar with using it and understanding what the graphs (are trying to) convey. Program 1 starts off VERY low (1.2, I think) and its maximum speed is 3.1 (intervals of .5, 1.2, 1.8, 2.4 & 3.1). That will give you an idea of what to expect. You get 3 beeps to indicate the rate is changing, the new rate will display and then start to change. If that rate is too high, you can select the “speed” button to decrease – or just “stop”. You can change speed at any time during the program by selecting the up or down “speed” button. • MANUAL INCLINE: The trade off in manual vs. auto incline is worth it to me (and, yes, the manual incline levels are very minimal). You are paying MUCH less and it is less wear and tear on the treadmill motor and associated mechanisms. Yeah – it’d be fun to have all those programs that simulate walking/running outdoors, but not worth it to me. • There is a great series of unaffiliated videos on YT that were invaluable to my decision (todd’s garage). You’ll find assembly, lubing, maintenance, track adjustment, etc.. • A review or two mentioned electrical shock. I’m speculating that perhaps it was static from walking on the track. I had a couple of static shocks when reaching for the heart monitor with a certain pair of shoes (have wood floors – no carpet) – didn’t experience it with two other pairs of shoes. (UPDATE** static shock can be an issue with ALL treadmills (and electronics in general) - search online for various solutions/preventative measures) • The emergency stop key design on the TR150 is perfect. I’ve read other treadmill's reviews that criticize design of theirs (won’t stay in, too hard to get in, etc.). • Folding treadmill: I was worried about not having a lowering assist to soften the landing when lowering. However, once you lift it up, you know what weight you’re dealing with – so just make sure you’re ready to support it while lowering. Just think of it as an addition to your workout. :-) It’s easy to get the pin in and out to prop it up or let it down. There was review somewhere that mentioned the pin failed and the treadmill fell – I really don’t think that is possible if the pin is properly seated. I’m pretty satisfied with the TR150’s design. • The ledge for holding devices will not hold my chromebook (width is not an issue since it’s open on the sides – it’s the depth). It will hold my kindle fire. The ledge depth is 1/2 inch. I kind of figured this when ordering, so no big surprise. Obviously, utilizing the ledge means your device is covering up the display. Not a deal breaker by any means, but adding a support arm/bracket to hold device above/beyond the display would be a great improvement IMO. • UPS actually brought it inside the house for me (he went above and beyond – maybe in part because the box was a battered mess). The battered box perhaps speaks to the build quality of the treadmill. I really expected to have something broken or electronics not working. No problem whatsoever. As with ANYTHING you buy, sometimes it’s just luck of the draw. However, there are plenty of folks reviewing that are happy with the TR150. I am very happy with my decision to buy the Xterra TR150. No buyer’s remorse here (other than seeing a price drop on prime day :-))! **Update 11/27/22: Still just as happy. **Prompted to lube once. I think lubing is done in the area where your feet are hitting (reason for specified lube pattern), so think in terms of that when you are lubing. **Bought ar-pro rubber pads (4”x4”) for wood floor - glad I didn’t get a mat. **I never use the “programs” after trying them out. I hit “start” and then use speed buttons. So glad didn’t spend more for one with fancy programs. **I use it daily (walking only - 3 to 4 mph), from 20 minutes to over an hour depending on how active I am otherwise. **I parked the treadmill facing a corner and added a cheap 24” wall mounted R**u TV. Treadmill display visible, and makes getting in the walking very pleasurable. **HR monitor iffy – I think most HR monitors can be unreliable, so not disappointed with that tech on this treadmill.

This treadmill is pretty good, but not great. After running on it for a couple of days I think I can give you a great idea of what it's like. NOTE: The front plastic cover that's above the motor may rub against the track causing nose at some speeds. Loosen the screws on either side of this plastic cover (don't remove entirely). As you tighten the screws back in, lift the cover so that it remains higher up. This will help the noise issue. For context for the pros below, here's my metrics: Height: 5'10" Weight: 185 lbs Shoe Size: 11E Fitness Level: Beginner Normal walk/run: 1.5 mls, 200 cal burn, 30 min PROS: * It's fairly small, but not too small. I'm in a single bedroom apartment and was able to find a place for it. It has a wide and long enough track to run on, but not too large that I wouldn't have been able to find a place for it or get it through a doorway. * It has fractional speeds from 0 - 10. Maybe 5 isn't quite good enough for your jog, but 5.5 is. I jog at about 5.0, but I run when its on 6.5. I'm not sure how I could ever run fast enough for the top speed of this thing. * It's easy to put together even for 1 person; keep in mind this thing is very heavy so it took me a while to get it in the right position. * The motor is very quiet; but there are other noises -- read the cons. CONS: * It's still pretty large when it's folded up. If you have a normal sized closet it's probably going to be the only thing in that closet. If you have a walk-in closet, it's going to take half the space up. * The machine makes a lot of noise. The best I can figure out is that the plastic in front of the unit is sometimes touching the moving tread. It's a low frequency plastic on rubber sound, it's not super loud, but somewhat annoying. If it weren't for that, this thing would be extremely quiet! * It's prone to damage in shipping because the cardboard box isn't great quality for an item this heavy. Expect the box to arrive partially destroyed and the plastic strips around the box to have dug all the way down to the treadmill due to shipping guys trying to carry it there. I think for most of us, the product inside is usually ok. Mine has a very small minor dent. * If you accidentally detach the safety cord (the one you clip onto your clothes), the machine will go into an error mode (normal) that cancels your workout program and you'll lose all progress. I ran for about 10 minutes and accidentally disconnected it, lost all data for that run and had to start over and remember how much I had already done. Not a big deal. * The heart monitor works, but it may start off at a lower bpm than it should - I've had issues with heart monitors you hold onto become inaccurate simply because you're moving while you're touching them. Get an Apple watch instead. Am I happy? Yes! For the price I was expecting these sort of cons, but given the problems this treadmill accomplishes what I need. I'll report back if I can fix the noise.

I did a lot of research before buying this treadmill. I read the reviews from other buyers which were really helpful. I needed something that was well made, could handle daily runs but wasn’t too fancy or expensive. I also needed it to be easy to carry down to my basement and to move around. This treadmill meets all those criteria. It’s about 100lbs so my hubby and I got it down the stairs easily. Set up was really easy too and took about 15 minutes. The settings and display are straightforward and the preset programs are decent. I had debated on getting the Nordictrak but the reviews on the iFit app turned me off. I’m glad I went with the simpler option. The instruction manual is not very clear on all of the features or how to align the running track. Like I had no idea the oval raised silver features on the handles were heartbeat monitors. I watched some YouTube videos that were really helpful-just search the treadmill model and they’ll come up. When I first started using it, the track wasn't centered and it didn't run smoothly and was noisy. I easily adjusted the track after watching how to do it and it runs very quietly and smoothly now. I’ve been using it daily since I got it and I’m really happy with my purchase. If you’re looking for a solid treadmill with the basics at a great price-this is a great choice.
