I just tried one of these out at Sports Authority. It is an awesome machine! I’m 6′6″ 280. I hike and mountain climb frequently. This thing gets you cookin off the calories right away. Your warmup is about 10 seconds… I wanted to try it with a backpack on heh. Wish I could afford one.

I have occasional lower back pain also, but the trainer helps. Before I start I stretch and warm up my lower back. I would suggest that you check with a trainer or doctor to make sure it is OK and get some excersizes to stretch and strengthen the areas that have pain. If the pain doesn’t go away after you stop or it isn’t releived with a single ibuprofen, please see your doctor. Better safde than sorry.

Tom, thanks for the info. I just purchased the Incline Trainer X3 and it’s going to be delivered next wk, and I have to admit that I can’t wait. I have gained 60-70 lbs as of a month ago (who knows how much now), and because of my past injuries it was almost impossible to exercise at all… I have to admit that I have read a lot of reviews from people who are also injured that I am hopeful that this was what the doctor ordered. So I rushed to a store that sells it, and after walking on it at 40% incline for 2 min., my legs were burning and I started sweating. I was hooked…especially that I will have Jillian Michaels training me per say. Congrats for losing 20 lbs that’s fantastic!

For people who are injured, find it at a local store and give it a try… You can always start out slow, but just remember that you don’t have to run on this to feel the affects. I shopped around and found a place that had better warranties etc than the manufacturer. I shopped around until I found it for a good price, and their warranty.

Hi Patrick,

My son and I brought it home and assembled it ourselves in a little over an hour. The hardest part was lugging the base upstairs to the room I wanted to set it up in. The setup is pretty simple, but will take two people.

Since the end of August I have lost about 20#, but I have also been doing some weight training, so the fat loss may be more than 20# would indicate.

I do a pretty free program designed to be intense enough to burn 1100 calories per hour. I just finished and am cooling down. Today I did 5 min@40% @ 2mph the went to 12 % and 4MPH. I was listening to my Ipod and every time the song changed I increased or decreased the incline by 4% between 12 and 28%. I then finsied as I started with 5 min @40%, 2MPH. The total time was 60 min.

I am planning on hiking the Grand Canyon next spring, so I hope the incline trainer will get me in shape. Hope this helps you.

I have a question:

Will any of you share your success stories as to how much weight you lost, in what amount of time and which exercise did you do on the treadmill?

I have read some nightmare stories about the treadmill, but have wondered for the ones that had great success with this treadmill, did you have professional assemble it or not?

I am seriously thinking about purchasing the Incline Trainer X3… I tried it out and have to agree that in about 2 min I started sweating and my legs were burning. I couldn’t believe how fast I felt the burn, and was sold…now I am saving the money… I would greatly appreciate anyone’s review(s)…

I bought on in late august. Today I hit 106 miles and 30 hours of use (the unit collects this data, but it took me a week to figure out I had to take it out of demo mode for it to accumlate the data). It is worth the $$ if you are serious about using. I have gone from 239 to 225, though i have also begun to do some weight work on my upper body so the weight loss is not really a good measure. My waist measurement went from 49″ to 39″. The calories used feature is set for 185# so to get a more accurate estimate you need to divide your weight by 185 and then multiply the program calories by the result. It seems to be very sturdy and smooth at 20% incline and 3.5 mph. The incline % is slightly low when compared to an engineering web site designed to compute % incline and decline using distance and vertical ft change. I would endorse this unit with the caveat that we still need to use it for it to be effective.

I just bought one for my wife & on Saturday I & assembled it yesterday. Seems like a sturdy machine but, no, it doesn’t fold. It’s easy to move, once assembled, but only on the same floor. This is a heavy machine. It took my friend & I every ounce of strength we had just to get the box from the car to my basement. It’s never coming back up!
