Product Description
Whether you're just starting to get in shape or are a seasoned athlete, Bowflex's Treadclimber TC3000 Cardio Machine is a home fitness machine that offers an array of electronics and features to push your workout to the next level. Similar in function to a treadmill, this low-impact machine is engineered to burn fat without pounding your joints. It has unique dual treadles (rather than a single belt area surface) that rise up to cushion each step. This design eliminates the jarring impact of hard, flat surfaces and reduces the joint and muscle strain that can be part of other workout machines.

It has twelve intensity settings to tailor your workout specifically to your fitness and comfort level while six electronic functions allow you to track your speed, time, distance, calories burned, calories per minute, and total steps taken during your workout. Five LCD readout windows allow you to see all vital workout stats easily. Large footboards alongside the tread belts make starting or stopping exercise safe and easy. The speed of the TC3000 adjusts from 0.7 to 4.0 miles per hour for a casual stroll to serious power walking.

The TC3000 features an LCD screen display to track your speed, time, distance, calories burned, calories per minute, and total steps taken.
Key Features:
  • Maximum speed: 0.7-4.0 miles per hour/1.1-6.4 kilometers per hour
  • Resistance range: 0-12 levels
  • Electronic functions: speed, distance, time, calories per minute, total calories, and total steps
  • Computer indicator shows calories per minute and total calories burned
  • Ergonomic console provides easy accessibility to water bottles and magazines
  • Dimensions: 46 inches long by 28.5 inches wide by 55.25 inches tall (117 by 72 by 140 centimeters)

You have to stick with it. . .
 
Review Date: February 9, 2006
Reviewer: J. Thomas, Slippery Rock, PA
I got my machine earlier this year. As the other reviewer indicates, at first I really didn't like it. It was awkward and hard to use. I was really worried.

The second time I used it I slowed down the speed and worked on getting the feel for the machine. On a treadmill I always walk at about 4.5 MPH. So I set this machine initially to 4.0 MPH. That is much, much too fast for a beginner. (Don't worry it is still a good workout at 3.0 MPH.) That did it.

Now it is the easiest and best exercise machine I have ever used. I get a better workout than a treadmill with lots less stress and pain in my knees. It is more natural for me than an elliptical.

If you get one of these, you will love it. You just have to stick to it for a few times (it took me two workout sessions) to master it.
Great machine...very reliable over the long run

Reviewer: T. Wright,
I bought this TC3000 Treadclimber when it was still Nautilus branded. So, I've had it for 4 or more years. I've really beaten it up. For a time I was on it for two hours a day at 4 mph (top speed). I still use it as a regular part of my aerobic routine (along with my ellipticals, and my rowers).

About 6 months ago I did replace the motor, but I was able to do it myself, but I have no complaints since it had lasted so long with no real maintenance issues. This is a great purchase and it is more reasonable than the TC5000 and has all the required bells and whistles with none of the higher priced frills. I have looked longingly at the newest high end model, but I have trouble justifying the price when the old workhouse is still going strong.

Reviewer: K. Rushing,
I got mine last month and really like it. Wasn't crazy about having to put it together but I didn't have any problems. It was a little heavy for me but managed it just fine alone. (I am a woman) I love the size, it doesn't take up the whole room like treadmills do and being able to do more than one thing with it is a plus. It does take a little getting used to if you have never used one before. I'd recommend it to everyone.

Reviewer: M. Randle,
I got one for home, so I can do cardio daily and not have to run to the gym every day. I like the variety of workouts and the size of the machine. It fits very well in a small space. It doesn't take up the entire room like alot of machines. I think it is well worth it for the price.
Great Workout
 
Review Date: December 5, 2009
Reviewer: Jude,
I was surprised that the TC3000 is actually a tread climber, tread mill and a stepper! I had not read that in the material provided in the brief description. In fact, the combination of the three gives a terrific workout even for someone who has not stepped on a machine in a long time. After two weeks my knees and feet don't hurt as much and I am starting to see results. Combined with a good diet and other strengthening exercises, this is the ONE workout that works. I love it!
