The BodyGuard T240 Treadmill is one of the better treadmills built in China. The T240 treadmill offers a lifetime warranty for its motor and frame, a 10-year warranty for its parts and wear and tear, and a 3-year labor warranty. The warranty is offered by Procycle, in Canada, so North Americans, especially Canadians, should not be concerned about warranty service.

Notable features of the BodyGuard treadmill are a 22" x 57" industrial grade, two-ply running belt, 4-way reversible 1-inch thick treadmill deck, 2.5-inch diameter rollers, and incline elevation up to 15%. The display window provides a 12-digit scrolling screen that provides information in English, French, or Spanish, as you choose. Advanced technology includes a method for preventing overheating of the motor and an aid in the control of the speed of the machine to ensure that it does not suddenly change pace. A disadvantage of the BodyGuard T240 treadmill is that the heart rate monitor is available only at extra cost. Most treadmills in this price range include this feature standard.

Note: The T240 is Bodyguard’s least expensive model. The other home treadmills in its lineup, the T260, T280, T320, T360, and T460 are the same basic design, but offer enhancements such as additional built-in workouts and longer warranties. The Bodyguard T560 treadmill is designed for light commercial use.
