BodyTrain Rocket MT06 Treadmill

Product Information

This is another step up from the first and second models above and this one is called the BodyTrain Endurance F18 Treadmill which has a more powerful motor of 2HP motor and also has the 15% powered incline capability included for extra endurance running. If space is an issue for you, this treadmill can also be folded away in an upright position to save space and there are also the handy transport wheels which helps with mobility around your home from room to room. It is heavier but it also has the soft drop and lift mechanism to help you. Overall, this treadmill performs quite well and provided good value for money from our experience. This machine is the heaviest of all those we tested at 80kg but is still easy to move around thanks to its storage wheels and is fully foldable for ease of storage. Verdict The MT-196 is the most impressive treadmill in the BodyTrain product line. It is still reasonably priced and provides a huge amount of value for money when compared like for like against other models at similar prices. The frame itself is not the most sturdy, but as you won’t be running you shouldn’t need it other than to take your pulse rate. There is a convenient tablet/phone holder above the display which is ideal for playing music or a tv show while you increase your steps.

Here you also get the MP3, USB, SD card slot holder and there are the additional 3 separate incline settings to allow for harder and more difficult workouts. You also get the pulse sensors and the speed controls on your arms included of course the tablet or phone holder. There are more than 5 variants in the BodyTrain series but at the time of the review we could only get our hands on three models, the BodyTrain Strider T600, The T900 Elite Treadmill and The BodyTrain F30 XTI Treadmill.There is a maximum user weight of 100kg which might be limiting for some users (for those over 100kg take a look at the F30 XTI) but for those who fall under that limit then this is a good option.

In conclusion, this is a great treadmill for anyone who wants to use a treadmill for brisk walking without paying a fortune for extra features that aren’t needed. The motor here has a lifetime guarantee which gives you additional confidence and can be folded away easily. Please note also that it has transportation wheels to make it easier to move around your home. There is no escaping the fact that the BPM folding treadmill is a budget model. This is noticeable as soon as you unbox and assemble this treadmill. Assembly is easy enough and the instructions are clear and straightforward, but the resulting aesthetic is somewhat underwhelming. The Strider T600 is incredibly well built and has quality components on the inside as well as the outside. The external housing is solid and the 58kg unit feels stable and substantial when running – including when using the powered incline at its full 15% incline.

What to look for in a Treadmill

The flexibility to exercise on your own schedule - without having to travel to the nearest gym - is a major benefit for those with busy schedules. There are a number of benefits to having a treadmill in your home, particularly if you're someone who struggles to get to the gym or find time to exercise. If you are looking for a true budget option from BodyTrain then their BPM folding treadmill is one option – however that model isn’t in the same league as any of those reviewed here and the T600 is pretty budget in its own right considering its features, build quality and usability. You have the options of 3 different inclines to use, you get a useful MP3/USB connection so that you can listen to your favourite music as you train plus there is a holder for your phone of tablet provided. It also has the LED screen which outlines the times taken, the distances, the speed levels and the estimated level of calories being used.

Though there is clearly some stress reducing suspension on the T600 model, the T900 model takes this to a new level and we felt a marked improvement in the way the suspensions performed on this version. It is not too bouncy, nor too firm, and you can without a doubt feel the difference when compared to running on hard outdoor surfaces such as tarmac. If you're a bit budget-conscious and looking for a cheap treadmill that does what it says on the tin, then the Citysports Treadmill is a great affordable option with all the basics you'll need to get started. Motorised treadmills have a maximum top speed that will impact your workout. Cheaper models have motors that deliver lower top speeds, meaning you'll never reach more than a strolling pace and won't be able to push yourself. The other main limitation of this treadmill is the maximum speed which is just 6KM/h. So there is no sprinting on this treadmill and brisk walking is going to be the limit for most people. For this reason, we would only really recommend the BodyTrain BPM for anyone who is very early on in their cardio fitness journey or for anyone who simply wants a treadmill to increase their step count.This is ideal for homes that have multiple users, some of whom might have different requirements. It is also useful for sole users who might need a recovery run without putting additional stress on their lower body.

The BodyTrain Stride Master is a huge step forward from the BPM and is a treadmill that really competes against some of the bigger brand models. Anyone looking for a good-quality entry-level treadmill could do much worse than considering the Stride Master. The desk is Fully's award-winning Jarvis, boasting a 350 lbs lifting capacity, and 25.5" of height-adjustment to encourage you to move throughout the day. Hello once again and welcome to this BodyTrain Treadmill Review which will cover 5 different models under the BodytTrain brand so at least you have more than just one choice when it comes to making a final decision. Speed levels - you are looking at 1 to 12 km/hr and there are also 12 pre-set workout programs for you to choose from which is great instead of having to program your workout manually. The F30 XTI can hold a maximum user weight of 130kg which is an additional 30kg than the other models we tested and this shows in the build quality. The other models are perfectly adequate but it is clear the F30 is a step up in class – in all respects.

The T900 Elite from BodyTrain is very similar to the T600 in terms of both its specs and its price point. The nuts and bolts of this machine are pretty much the same as the T600 when it comes to motor power, inclines and noise levels and overall it provides a great user experience. It’s completely foldable and so can be stored easily and weighing in at 65kg, the front and rear loaded transport wheels make it easy to move around for storage or to workout in a more open space. If you are still on the fence about the Bodytrain Treadmill, remember that there is a 12 month warranty available on these treadmills and also a lifetime warranty on the motors which give you the buyer additional confidence before any decisions are made. The four models we have selected for testing and review are all foldable so they are ideal for your workout space at home and will require minimal space when you are not working out. We have selected a range of models from the least to the most expensive, and as you might expect this means there are a range of different features and difficulty levels. BodyTrain BPM Folding Treadmill Any treadmill you're considering buying should have a built-in auto stop safety system. This often takes the form of a magnetic safety key that attaches to the treadmill on one end and your clothing on the other.
