Bowflex - BXT216 Treadmill - Gray

Great treadmill- was easy to put together and works great! Love that it syncs to my phone. It’s great that it has 4 user profiles you can set up.

It is everything I wanted. Sturdy, powerful, and built to last. The machine is simple and intuitive to use as it should be. There are multiple different controls to change speed and elevation. The heart rate strap seems to be accurate.

Great treadmill for the price, and we got it on sale too.

I had this treadmill for a year+ now. Very sturdy, great options for working out. I did not use the blue tooth functionality. It has been great for my endurance. Whole family uses it so 4 user option is a plus. Only wish there was a run/walk option that is faster to switch between.

This treadmill is at the high end of consumer grade although it comes with a fantastic price (thank you deal of day) as it's no longer manufactured, so get it while you can. It also has some really hard to find features that aren't available in fold-up or mid-grade consumer models. By the way, the new generation of treadmills are big on large screens with touch controls and some type of subscription model needed to fully utilize the screen and features; this treadmill has none of that nonsense, so if you want a classic treadmill, this is a great one, but if you want a peloton like experience, you'll want to look elsewhere. This treadmill has a 22" wide mat, which is very very hard to find and an amazing feature; most treadmills come with a 20" mat, but I tend to drift occasionally and once every 100 miles of running or so I step on the side while I'm running, which is always terrifying (huge squeak followed by trying to catch myself and fall). I've done over 100 miles on this already and haven't stepped off the mat once, so those 2 extra inches make a difference (it's like when you drive and the lane is a little extra wide, just nice to have that space) This treadmill also folds up, although beware, it does not fold up to a 90 degree angle, which means you can't pivot it around a narrow doorway if you're in a hall, which means you can't move it in or out of most rooms, so you'll need to disassemble it most likely to move rooms (not fun). For what it's worth, this model is so industrial I'm surprised it can fold at all, but somewhat of an odd engineering choice since the point of folding is to save space and make it easier to move, but this doesn't really accomplish either; other than the odd angle the fold feature works very well as it holds its own weight and slowly drops itself on its own rather than making you do the work. Assembly was fine (took me 2 hours by myself and I went sllowww, but if you're handy you could do it in less than an hour I'm sure), box is huge and you'll need a small dumpster for the packing material, but the treadmill is very solid and overall the controls and holders are great. The bluetooth is not for music, just for their useless app, which I guess can share info with more useful apps (like FitBit), but in typical bluetooth fashion it started to fight with me and then I realized I don't care. The speaker is LOUD which is really nice; granted the quality is terrible, but that's what I was expecting and I like it as a backup in case I can't find my headphones. The controls are a bit annoying as you have to select a speed/incline and then press OK; it would be better to just be a single touch especially since the controls aren't in a spot where they'd be accidentally pressed, but it's not a big deal, the additional controls on the side handles and the front handles mostly make up for something that could be fixed with a firmware update. The controls are slow to react, especially when you turn it on, which is not a big deal, but just different and somewhat odd if you've used other treadmills. The build quality of this is what you're buying it for, it's not as stable as the ones at my gym, but those cost 8-10K. This is basically a high-end 3K treadmill that you can get for less than half that price now. So, if you've never done a treadmill before this may be a bit much (I started with a junky $500 model years ago, but not a bad place to start), but you're getting incredible value. This is my 3rd treadmill; the first two I both broke through usage (proform lasted 4 years, reebook lasted 8), and I'm expecting this one to last 10 or 15 as it's definitely a step up from my reebok. I run on treadmills to combat knee pain and this machine on a cushioned floor mat combined with Hoka One shoes has allowed me to run thus far with no pain the next day. If you have the space for this beast and you know that you are going to use it more than twice before you start hanging clothes on it to dry, then I'd definitely recommend it. It has a few quirks, but the build quality and strength of this machine far outweigh the negatives.

Delivery was great and the Best Buy team placed the machine right in the room. Assembly and set-up was easy and it is mainly a 1-person job. The treadmill runs well and has nice features. The display is clear and there is plenty of space for water, phone and devices. The 60 inch belt length allows for a longer stride and helps reduce impact and running into the front of the machine. I did purchase this treadmill during a sale but the machine is solid and the many positive reviews are accurate. I did a lot of research before purchasing and this was the right treadmill.

When the pandemic really took off and gyms began to close, we decided to invest in a home treadmill and avoid gyms all together for convenience reasons on top of the pandemic. It was worth the investment, and with 18 months 0% interest, it wasn't that much different than our original gym membership fees. The treadmill has memory for multiple users (I believe 4 total, but I can't recall off the top of my head, as there are only 2 of us in our household). If you unplug it for too long though, the memory is cleared and you will have to reset your user profile (i.e., height, weight, goals). It's a great treadmill and the built-in fan is really nice if you get too hot! If you're looking for a decent home treadmill to avoid the crowds and to better incorporate workouts into your life, this one is a great choice!

It was easy to assemble, I was able to do it alone but it does take two people to get the bottom of the treadmill in place because of the weight. Sound quality is great on the speakers but you need to get an adapter piece to hook up your iPhone/iPad unless your iPad is first generation. Machine itself is fairly quiet. No complaints. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a good quality Treadmill.
