Johnson Health specializes in the design and manufacture of state-of-the-art elliptical machines, recumbent bicycles and treadmills. Their innovative designs include highly customizable workouts, data tracking and storing technology, and compatibility with MP3 players, including speakers. Many of their products feature several LED displays to better inform the user of progress, heart rate, and calories burned. Only through heart rate monitoring can one really track what kind of workout they are getting, so these functions are present on nearly all of their products.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews

By Jeff Hatfield
We bought this treadmill in anticipation of packing on a couple extra pounds for the holidays with the hopes of working them off (and then some more) ;). The treadmill, much like the added weight from the holidays, has met or exceeded our expectations. The construction of the treadmill is above average for the asking price. Unpacking the unit was a bit of an ad-hoc adventure but wasn't terribly bad overall. The unit operates relatively quiet and controls are fairly intuitive. My biggest dislike so far is the operation of the safety strap. The safety strap attaches to your body in the event you trip or need the treadmill to safely cease operation (immediately). There have been times where I was reaching for a drink located to the side of the treadmill (the drink holder is a bit shallow) and accidentally dislocated the safety strap as it is attached by a fairly weak magnet. That'd be fine except when you reattach the magnet, the treadmill program completely resets. Another minor shortcoming is the heart monitor feature doesn't seem accurate at all unless you hold on to the bars continuously throughout the program. Despite these things and perhaps a few other similarly nitpicking items, this is really a good value for the money and delivers where you need it most. I have not had the static electricity discharge problem others have described in other reviews. If you're looking for a good work out and don't require a top of the line model, this is definitely the model for you.
