Fitnessclub 500W Folding Electric Treadmill Review

Last updated June 1, 2021 By Kate Leave a Comment

If I were just starting to work out at home, I would not buy a top-of-the-line treadmill.

Instead, I would look for the most basic treadmill that allows me to run, track my performance, and feel safe.

The Fitnessclub 500W fits that need perfectly.

Features

Ease of Assembly

The Fitness Club 500W is a lightweight and simple machine. It only took me less than 30 minutes to set it up. However, I hope that its manufacturer will consider improving the assembly instructions as they weren’t that great.

I figured out how to assemble it, so they weren’t incredibly confusing, but they can definitely be better.

 

Multi-function Scan

It has an LED display screen that shows speed, time, distance, and calories so I can track my progress while working out. This is immensely helpful if you’re counting calories and using this treadmill to lose weight.

Cushioned Deck

Its deck may not be as spacious as I would prefer it to be, but at least it has a cushioned deck for added comfort.

It also absorbs impact, reduces risk of injury, and makes it easier to get into running and walking after surgery.

 

Emergency Stop for Safety

Despite its low price, the Fitnessclub 500W gives prime importance to safety. It has a safety key which prevents injury by stopping the motor in case you step or fall away from the machine.

 

Design And Specifications

It runs on a 500W motor, which is just right for its size and intended functions. It is very lightweight at just 53 lbs. but feels as sturdy as its heavier counterparts. The maximum user weight is 250 lbs.

Its 39.75″ x 13.5″ runway can be uncomfortable for taller users. Aside from its limited space, the belt also tends to be unstable and can be quite noisy. The speed ranges from 1.0 km/hr to 10.0 km/hr.

 

F.A.Q.

Is it easy to set-up and move around?

Yes. It is a basic treadmill that can be assembled in 30 minutes or less. It also has wheels for easy transportation and storage. However, it doesn’t firmly stay upright when folded. I suggest that you lean it against a wall and keep it away from kids.

 

Is it sturdy?

Despite being lightweight, I feel secure running on it. However, you have to keep the user weight limit in mind.

 

Does it incline?

It has a fixed incline of 6 inches.

 

What is the maximum speed?fitnessclub-500w-fitness-portable-treadmill-led-panel

It can go up to 10 km/hr.

 

 

What is the weight limit?

The official weight limit is 250 lbs. However, it can be uncomfortable if you are near the 200-220 lb. mark.

 

Does it have cup holders?

Yes. However, they are too small for any standard cup or water bottle. They are good for holding smaller items such as keys or a face towel.

 

Other Options

Another electric treadmill below $200 is the Goplus Electric 800W. It almost has the same features but is more affordable and even has a more powerful motor.

On the other hand, the Weslo Cadence R 5.2 Treadmill costs more but it also has a more powerful motor and adjustable incline.

If none of the options above work for you, check out this list of our favorite cheap treadmills.

 

Fitnessclub 500W Folding Electric Treadmill:Conclusion

The Fitnessclub 500W is basic home treadmill perfect for you if you are looking for uncomplicated set-up, maintenance, and storage. You cannot expect too much from a treadmill at this price, but it can still do what it was made to do.

I recommend it for people who are purchasing a home treadmill for the first time and want to introduce a regular workout to their daily routine.
