Bowflex TreadClimber
The Bowflex Treadclimbers have elements of treadmills, elliptical machines, and steppers. Looking at a picture of one give an idea of how they work. It looks like a stepper, but, when the treadmill function is chosen, the separate pedals actually function as one treadmill. When the elliptical function is chosen, the pedals work independently like a stepper, but the surfaces move like a treadmill as well, resulting in a movement similar to that of an elliptical machine. The difference is that your feet can actually move front to back, instead of being fixed in place.The TreadClimber seems like a superior technology, but can be awkward and has not yet captured the public imagination.
Bowflex offers three versions of its treadclimber. The more expensive versions offer more built-in workouts and enhanced consoles and warranties.

See for more information on the activities of Nautilus.You may find good bargains on used Trimline models, but getting parts may be a problem.

Trimline treadmills are known for longer-than-usual warranties. Their warranties are generally thirty years on the motor, two years on parts, two years on electronics, and two years for labor.

On the less expensive Trimline models the warranty is only ten years on the motor and one year on labor. Some retailers who sell Trimline treadmills do not back this brand with their own additional warranties as they do with other brands.
Trimline Treadmills are in the mid-price range, which is between $1,500 and $2,500. The tread belts are generally narrower than other manufacturers’, with some only 15 inches wide. Their motors also tend to be smaller, often as low as 2.0 hp. These are best for walking and light jogging. Few Trimline models come with heart rate monitors. Some users have complained about the Trimline instruction manuals are confusing. It is probably best to stick to the more expensive Trimline models.
