04 Oct Vegas Trade Show: 3G Cardio 80i Fold Flat Treadmill a game-changer

This is the third in a five-part series on the recently held Las Vegas Fitness Trade Show. Today, the 3G Cardio 80i Fold Flat Treadmill is featured.

Not much space in your home, apartment, garage, office space, RV or wherever else you spend a lot of time?
No way you could ever envision setting up a treadmill in one of those areas?
Think again with the 3G Cardio 80i Fold Flat Treadmill.
The 3G Cardio 80i Fold Flat Treadmill (MSRP $2,099 – See At Home Fitness sale price ») offers a Triple Crown of features never-before-seen in the fitness industry, according to the company’s website:
* It’s the only dual folding treadmill on the market — meaning you can fold it vertically or horizontally when not in use. Store it upright in a closet, or fold it flat to a height of just 9.75 inches and easily roll it under a bed.
* It’s the only fold flat treadmill that’s designed to walk AND run on.
* Its 3 horsepower motor is the biggest of any fold flat treadmill.
Having run on this treadmill, I can tell you it’s plenty sturdy enough for a 200-plus pound man to get a good workout. With a unit weight of 225 pounds, this treadmill is plenty sturdy. In fact, it’s rated to be used by people weighing up to 325 pounds.
It folds open to measure 74″x33″x49″, which provides an excellent area to run or walk comfortably on.
When you’re ready to store the treadmill, simply fold it flat to a height of just 9.75″ and roll it under a bed. Or, fold it upright to the same height of 9.75” dimension and roll it into a closet or corner of a room to store vertically when not in use.
Better yet try a 3G Cardio 80i Fold Flat Treadmill out for yourself. If your local fitness store doesn’t have one, ask them to order it. Or, order the 3G Cardio 80i Fold Flat Treadmill yourself online at 3GCardio.com or www.athomefitness.com.
The 3G Cardio 80i Fold Flat Treadmill is rated to be used by people who weigh up to 325 pounds. It has a sturdy belt (18.5″x58″ ) and you can run from speeds ranging from 5-11 mph and set the machine at an incline up to 15 percent.
I love the fact that it comes 100 percent pre-assembled in the box.
I’m also impressed with the built-in speakers and audio
iPhone/MP3 connections. The warranty covers parts for five years, along with one year labor and a lifetime guarantee on the motor and frame.
