Perfect for indoor running or walking. I can watch a podcast and go for a walk when weather is bad. Also can do sprint interval training on it. So much better than flat motorized treadmills.
It’s loud and it hurts your butt to sit on it. But at the time there was no other options around when I purchased. It has definitely changed my conditioning.
Had two old CAP barbells that were busted up. The machine shop added handles on the barbell at the center. Got the job done until I could upgrade. Adding and removing weights were not easy like the top loaded kind.
Literally the best option for the price. They sit a little lower than other brands and do not have aggressive knurling. But for me, training on harder equipment means it should be better in a competition. Would recommend!
