    One day I found out that my husband had inadvertently broken my old Weslo treadmill. Great. He actually “ran” on it. Now what was I supposed to hang my clothes on? After decided to replace it, we visited three local stores: Sports Chalet, Sports Authority and Sears. It’s important to physically try out a treadmill before you buy it, and this Esprit ET-8 treadmill was the ONLY one that stood out to me in our price range. It’s super quiet, has great cushioning, and can handle my intense strolling as I sip cocktails while watching horror movies. My husband uses it more vigorously, as nature intended. It has fit programs, nice incline, large deck, heart rate monitor, red LCD, magazine rack, and a fancy way of lowering itself (not unlike an electric convertible top). Did I mention how quiet it is? And how cushiony? I honestly think that it’s nicer than the bulkier treadmills at the gym, which can tend to be occupied or out of service. By going through Sports Chalet, we were able to pick it up for under $1000 (including tax) on sale. (I recommend getting as much extended warranty as you can afford). It was delivered and set up the next day in half an hour. Note: You’ll need the space to accommodate it. It’s no space saver, by any means. Folded, it sticks out from the wall about 34″. This is a heavy duty treadmill that won’t need to be upgraded. We’re really happy with it.
