The Reebok 8000 C Treadmill provides a slightly different feature set in the low to mid-range treadmill market. The idea behind this unit is to provide both a cardio and strength training workout in the same session. To accomplish this, the Reebok 8000C comes with 6 built-in cross training workouts that– when combined with the included 2-lb. hand weights–provide a total body workout. There are also 9 “weight loss” workouts 9 including 300, 400, 500 and 600 calorie workouts–plus a 1 lb. Per Week workout.
For a treadmill on the lower end of the pricing spectrum, we were impressed with some of the features that come standard on the Reebok 8000 C. You’ll get the AirShock⢠Cushioning System that Reebok touts will reduce impact by up to 28%, a built-in workout fan and an integrated heart rate monitor system.
Our favorite feature on this machine was the Interactive CrossTrainer system. This program provides visual prompts on the console for the user to perform a variety of strength training exercises.
Some things we didn’t feel were quite up to snuff include the limited 90-day warranty on parts and labor and the smallish 19-inch treadbelt width. Aside from those, we felt this machine would be quite adequate for a beginning user. The built-in programs are challenging and unique and–overall–the standard features are on the upper end of what you’d expect in this price range.
