- Unbiased review of the Bowflex TreadClimber TC10 done by the Treadmill Review Guru.
Treadclimbers are a waste of money. Bowflex is making an unbelievable profit on these bogus machines. Save your money and get a nice treadmill with WAY more features.

well forget this to high priced I just wanna lose some wight gees im so fat I went to the zoo last week and a elephant threw me peanuts
HEEY YOOOO! Bu Dum Dum!
It's not a treadmill, it's not for running that's why you can't run on it. And it gives you a better workout by them not moving up and down on there own. I love it, it gives me an amazing workout and I feel like I'm getting a better one walking on this than on a treadmill, a treadmill is great for running, but the treadclimber isn't for running. It's supposed to be an elliptical and a treadmill in one. You honestly don't even seem to be know what your talking about.
No one is saying the workout can't be good. When you compare the Treadclimber to a treadmill however, I don't believe there is much of a comparison. You can spend much less on a treadmill and get a better workout. I see no reason to spend so much money on the TC10.
+Hailey Suniga we are so glad to hear you are getting a great workout from your TreadClimber. Thanks for taking the time to leave your comment. -Candace, Bowflex Team
Well, maybe people not as young as you and not as healthy as you, with some issues that don't allow them just to run but only to walk......think out of the box...
Treadmill ,I could go an hour on it for months and hardly see any results compared to treadclimber
treadmill guru, you need to be knowledgeable if giving reviews.
Thanks for this review. Saved me from buying a used one for $300.
I saw one of these in the thrift store today and I tried it out there and the thing I noticed is the tread belts are to short I felt like I was going to fall off and I also thought the peddles go up and down on their own. but for $175 I thought it was good. plus you can feel the burn quick
This was hardly a review, just complaints. It seems that the individual who purchased this did absolutely no research on the product, what it does and what it's intended for; no wonder his friends shoe got stuck, operator error. To review a product you need to be completely unbiased, he stated only cons, no pros, after watching this I would never trust his reviews of other products.
agree, this guy's an idiot. I have one of these, great machine. the only way a shoe would or could possibly get caught in there is from untied shoe laces.
this guy's a complete tool
It works better than a treadmill you can put more pressure on the pumps to work better.
14clarkster he did two pros smaller and it’s like hiking which was why it was designed that way.
$2,300 dollars? $hit ballz that's way too over priced for what you get. Basic and lame.
Thanks for the review totally helpful!
This is a terrible review, and I think it was very misleading. I was looking to get more information on how to use mine and clicked on this... maybe the streak would have happened if he was using the emergency safety key? Also, you get an amazing workout with this. 30 minutes and I am dripping sweat only going at 2.0. Have you used this machine for any length of time, or just bought it to shit on it?
I got to an hour on mine last night, I was so proud lol and dripping with sweat
I got mine off of offer up for 15O the TC10. I am sweating bullets by 15 minutes pouring by 30. I'm trying to do 30 a day. I think 2.2 should be the limit on speed if you want a effective work out. I love a stair stepper and treadmill and this doesn't hurt my knees, and I don't have to run to get results. I agree with you I do not like this review it seems biased.
I have this machine and disagree with this video, this an awesome leg, butt & abs workout. The machine is sturdy, is easy to get on and off of.
Your obviously not a professional to make that judgment it's an amazing machine and yes you can run on it drop the hydraulics and use it as a treadmill it's a great machine
Hi Amy, we tried to directly reply to your comment but it looks like your settings don't allow us to. Great question! The TreadClimber is very low impact on the knees and can support someone weighing up to 300 pounds. Feel free to take a look at some of our testimonials and let us know if you have any additional questions:

Much appreciated! I just cancelled my order!
this review just sucked all of my energy out... dude, how much do you hate your job?
i just bought a used one for about 300 bucks which is way cheaper than. buying it new,...it does have its knicks and knocks but in the long run im not buying a treadmill for it to look nice i dont mind it being used as im using soley for its purpose.....i do agree that 2000 dollars is too much for this machine but if u stick to it and follow a plan it can really help u drop weight fast
We’re u working the 300 weight limit when you bought it? I’m also thinking of buying a used one by I’m around 370 lbs. I honestly don’t think anything will happen but I also don’t wanna risk wasting my money.
Wish I would have seen this BEFORE the fact ...
That looks dumb to work out too. Is it? You can’t stop them from moving up and down?
Some advice, don’t do drugs before you create a video .
Thank you for this review. After wasting $1800 on a gym membership that I hardly ever used, I am out of the gym donation realm and in the market for a good cardio machine. I was thinking of this one, but after your review I have decided not to go with the treadclimber.
At the same price point I would go with the NordicTrack X9i. I've been using NordicTrack machines for years and they have been great for me, haven't had the same problems I read about online or have to deal with customer service. If you are under 6 feet, Sole makes good machines too that are pretty affordable.
i think the bowflex tc10 is the best machine! i own one for almost a year now! i love it! there are a few things that you have missed talking about it 1 you can add your weight by pressing the down arrow for the speed for accurate calorie burning and it has a go coach which tracks how many minutes you have consumed! i am very happy with it! i dont understand why you dont like it
+Vikram Pargaonkar hello! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment. We are so happy to hear you are loving your TC10. Keep rockin' it! -Candace, Bowflex Team
By the example his giving it seem to work more similar to a step master not a treadmill as he compairs it right. I'm wanting to lose my last 50Ibs this year so am on a search to a good affordable machine and I see this alot on the marketplace. So wanted to check out how they work before I go purchasing one.
The Treadclimber is a more efficient work out. It takes less time, it's low impact and you burn more calories than with an elliptical/treadmill. This is what you are paying for. This review sucks; it's not just a treadmill. It combines a treadmill, elliptical and stepper into one.
+dap123 Hello! Thanks for leaving a comment. You are right-the TreadClimber is a 3-in-1 workout that combines a treadmill, elliptical and stair stepper into one convenience machine. It will give you a great workout. Keep rockin' it! -Candace, Bowflex Team
I love mine, I got the Tc 100 and it's the best workout
It's great to see an actual review, and not an endorsement titled "Review". Thanks for your "Review" and I agree... they're not worth the investment!
NOTE: This product works exactly as described. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxguEIMc_Qwab-3QMTpF6jaRL80hiOOsIN It originally earned a four-star review due to a minor defect (see below). However, the manufacturer's customer service rep (Lita) went above and beyond the call of duty and deserves five stars now. I wish I could give even more!I purchased this item which arrived quickly. Assembly instructions were easy to follow. There was only one problem: One bolt did not screw into the hole properly. I called the company. Their customer service rep (Lita) was terrific! She took all my information and submitted a request to replace the defective part. I'm hoping to finish assembly and start using this treadmill soon. (Fingers crossed...)FOLLOW UP: Lita called back to inform me that the company will send a replacement part AND a technician(!!) to install it properly. AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Thank you!!
I’m thinking about buying one myself. I have seen some good deals on FB market place. Lightly used for under $500. I have read mostly good reviews about this tread climber. BTW how long did it take you to lose 30 lbs?
Does it actually help to lose more weight than on a regulat treadmill?
Is this really that bad? I was thinking of getting one - I am short (5ft 2”) so I thought the length of the tread itself might not bother me that much.
Your review sounds biased, but I'm not sure why. I own the TC-10 and I absolutely love it. I had a beer gut, and it was literally gone in 8 weeks with this machine. I feel great, have loads of energy now, and generally very happy with my purchase. This biggest plus for me has been the weight loss. I do agree that its a bit on the spendy side, but for me its all about the results.
Hi, I have a fit4 tc200 treadmill, it is tilted, you know, do you know anyone who can help me?
Can we get a professional to tell us about this amazing machine this kid doesnt know shit
Way expensive,and doesn't even have a lighted or backlit display screen. For $2000.00 new it should have almost blinding lights,bells, and whistles!
You just saved me a lot of money. thank you....I would be be clumsy one to get my foot stuck between the panel and tread.
I don't understand why the platforms would pivot down on their own - shouldn't they be at a fixed height? When I'm hiking up a hill the ground doesn't magically lower itself underneath me. Surely the point of a climber is that you have to lift yourself up, rather than have the ground fall down below you. I might have it wrong but this looks like it's only giving you half the workout for the amount of height that you 'step' up.
The only thing I hate is the fat that you can't set the desired workout time on this unit, I mean manually for example if you just wants to set your workout for 15 minutes you can't because the minimum workout time is 30 minutes, I think is ok that treadmills comes with workout programs but they should also comes with the option of been set manually to the desired workout of the user. "ATTENTION MANUFACTURES".
I just purchased the new treadclimber in September of 2017 and have had a technician come out three times already it clicks loudly and it seems to be a piece of junk. Keep your money. The last treadclimber I had in 2007 just broke down on me. That is why I purchased another one. HUGE MISTAKE. The QUALITY IS GONE!!!! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED I JUST WISH SOMEONE HAD WARNED ME.
I'm tall and you saved me $200. Not an option for me
There is one closing in an auction today. It's currently at a $60 bid and I wanted to see if it's worth it to buy for my mom. She's only 4ft 8.
I'm pretty sure these treadmills are only for walking not running...good to know that they don't automatically elevate up and down
I have purchased the tc10. how long does it usually take to get up to 30 minutes all at once? the most I can do at one time is 3 min. I know that's nothing, but i'm trying really hard. I am 63, weigh 190. if I can't get up to the required time, has anyone ever sent one back? and how expensive is it?
I guy is selling it for $200 rn. Good price?
you must buy one according to your height and try it at the store first and adjust to your height...it is a strange rhythmic way to walk and is great for maintenance daily...
This guy is so boring... his voice makes me sleepy
Dude.. You got the small version...
Hmm. I will find some one who wants to get rid of theirs cheap. I have a treadmill and would like to have this for the low impact. 2000 bucks is crazy expensive for this. The T5 doesn't even plug in and that is 1000 bucks. Junk.
This guy is not unbiased. In another video he brings in a 7 ft friend with no coordination and huge feet to use the Bowflex. Their minds were made up before they ever started,
I bought a slightly used TC10 BEFORE viewing this review. I'm really glad I did because this guru guy would have turned me off to this great workout machine. New TC10's are very expensive - that's why I bought a used one. I was lucky, my machine only had 50 miles on it and I paid 1/3 the retail price. It doesn't come with a lot of bells and whistles - so what? You get a great workout - and isn't that what it's all about?
I've used treadmills, ellipticals and stair steppers at the local gym; but never all three in one machine. It's great, it's low impact and you will sweat bullets.
The TC10 is the highest rated treadclimber on the market and it's Bowflex's number one seller. Enough said.
I did the same thing by buying a used one but thinking I'd have to get up to 4 mph and do 45 minutes to burn the same as I did on a treadmill. Not so - I can break a sweat in under 4 minutes on the TC10 (instead of 12-14) and after twelve minutes I'm a little whipped. I try to break it up into 2 or 3 sets as I get used to it as I am 70 yrs old.. It is a different exercise then a Treadmill.
Thank you for this I'm considering purchasing one used and decided to read the reviews. He almost changed my mind, so thank you!
I got a used one too, and I'm absolutely thrilled. I have bad knees and old breaks, so if I run around like I want, I'm icing and elevating for the rest of the day. The treadclimber hurts less than walking does, and my muscles are begging for mercy after 10 minutes at 1.5 mph. It's fantastic!
What about the TC20? Is that the commercial version. What are the differences if you have tried both?
Hope no one ever has a foot slip in between those platforms while they are going up and down.
You should probably learn to use it first…
Bowflex is such a crappy company. I honestly don't see how they are still in business. ugh
Small version and it was $2,000? Yikes, so not worth it...don't want to know how much more the regular sized version is.
After seeing my friend get his shoe damaged, I was super careful to avoid this - hopefully it doesn't happen to any other treadclimber users!
Everyone wants to lose fat (not weight) without working for it. Look up HIIT training. You can do it in 6 mins! High Intensity Interval Training. Sprint for 30 secs, jog for 30 secs - 6x, first thing in the morning. That's it. Stop all this crap. Oh and consume 1000 calories less than maintenance. So for guys, that'll be around 1500 calories. Oh and do some weight training at least 3 times per week. Keeps your muscles mass, its what burns the fat you know. Oh and, yeh you do need to work.
THIS MACHINE IS WEIRD AS FUK
This is a piece of junk didn’t even get my money worth.
I have had the treadclimber for 7 years. It has been a wonderful piece of equipment and has helped me lose the weight and keep it off. I used it 30 mins a day for 4 days a week. I wouldn't be too trusting of the so called treadmill Guru.
I felt like it gave me a tough workout! Like by 30 minutes it was a wrap
I’ve had mine for 10 years. My shoe has not got caught. I love my machine.
The sham lies in the advertising, stating that the user "could burn up to 500 calories in 30 minutes", which is patently impossible given its limitations. Having worked out for nearly 3 decades, I'm quite familiar with the effort required to burn off a given amount of calories in a given amount of time.
+Jim S. Hi Jim, thanks for sharing your thoughts. The TreadClimber is not like other cardio machines. It combines the workout of a treadmill, elliptical and stair stepper. It has been proven to burn 2.5x the calories as a treadmill. With the TreadClimber you can burn “…up to…”. Not everyone will achieve this calorie burn, but it is definitely a higher calorie burn than the treadmill. Feel free to check out success stories here from real customers with real stories: www.treadclimber.com/global/target.jsp?adID=DOXFBTRESPONSE&goto=TRCSS11
@Joseph, my friend is six and a half feet tall. Just walking in his normal stride got his shoe caught. This machine is simply too small for someone of that size. If you are over 6 feet, do NOT get the TC10. Maybe their more expensive models are more accommodating, but I personally would never spend more than $2,000 on a treadmill.
Split treadmill are the stupidest idea
thank you for your honest review.
Noditrack incline trainer burns more calories cz it has a Incline up to 40%
If you are not super tall and just looking to walk, this could be a decent machine. It's not a traditional treadmill however, you can't avoid using the paddles that move up and down with you. If you want a more traditional machine that's a much, much better price, look at the NordicTrack C900.
TRGuru....Joseph Francis is rude, great 'answer' back to him. !! I have been looking at the commercials about this and yes because it is smaller is one reason I thought about one. I had a heart attack last year and cardiac rehab I used a treadmill and loved it. But, they are huge! I need to take off about 40lbs and have other health problems so this sounded great. Guess I will keep looking..thank you for your honesty!!!! ..Pam
In my opinion, no. Checkout my comparison of the TC10 and the NordicTrack X9i.
Umm.. you got the smaller version. The one that we have is HUGE!, and not to mention it's money well spent on my opinion.. It works for me.. :)
I am currently looking for a treadmill or a bowflex treadclimber. However, it is very pricey and you have to put it together yourself. But, would you recommend this to someone like myself who really needs to get into shape but is clueless on exercise?
Thanks!
I just purchased the TC10& assembled it. The directions were easy however the milling wasn't the best but when I finished the assembling it instructs to plug in and warns u about GFI protected circuits which I have throughout my house. It would have been nice to know this bit of info before I purchased. Now I have to call an Electrician to put in a dedicated outlet.
Damn it seems expensive for such a spartan looking rig
Thank you so much for taking the time to review this machine! I was googling prices to find one on ebay and you have just saved me an expensive MISTAKE! Like a basic console but I am pretty tall and would NOT be happy if my shoe got stuck! It does look pretty short in length now that you pointed it out! THANKS AGAIN!!! :)
I was disappointed about the treads not being automatic
Just got a tc20 and am very happy with it. Though I find even on the 20 the treadles are almost too short, can't even imagine them being even shorter.
Umm um um uhm uh umm umm
I’ve got a streak in my underwear
this review does not talk about the price?
Good review saved me from buying it
What is your affiliate relationship with NordicTrack?
my hubby is interested in one of these because he is 300 and thought it would be better on his knees then a treadmill. after seeing your review and comparison im against it. what about the Nautilus TreadClimber? I saw a ad on u tube for them and they are different. but i can't find one. did they stop making them?
If joint pain is a concern I would go with an elliptical instead. Or a recumbent exercise bike. A treadmill probably wouldn't be your best option.
+Treadmill Review Guru this isn't a TREADMILL. this is designed to reduce joint impact and I love my tc10. get your info straight.
@@Sc-ob4zi I have the same machine and I agree it doesn’t have an impact on my knee’s.
so happy they upgraded thus one with the Tc 100!
How much did you buy it for?
2400 chips...I dont think do.
Thanks for the review. 'm 5'4 - female, 29. I'm in the normal weight group for my height but I'm totally out of shape. I do walk a lot on a treadmill but I can never seem to run. As a walker who just wants wants to improve her endurance, increase heart rate (aka get in better shape) - would you recommend this machine or are there better options for the price? Also, would you consider this machine tacky- easily breakable. Thanks
*fingers crossed for any negative backlash on my unability to run*
thank you so much for the review. i was saving up for the new treadclimber guess i'll keep looking. can you recommend a machine?
junk
Thanks for the good reviews. Any recommendations for a good elliptical without spending too much money?
Thanks
Thanks for the feedback Chima! Glad that this review was helpful for you!
Nick28T Gang
Thanks, good review.
pile
Yes, it does :-) I have one.
I have a better idea for all of you. Go outside for free and run. If you're too self conscious, wake up at 4-5am or run at around 12pm
mason Anderson come to where I live and run at -10 degrees...... how about me and you do a bench press competition or better yet, mma match??....
Yeah i'd like to see you go outside and run in Chicago in January with a foot of snow on the ground!
Or try to run in 0 degree weather with a baby or toddler. While having a spouse who travels for work.
So no one home to watch the baby for you to run, and too cold to safely run with a baby.
A Bowflex Treadclimber for 7 years? You should submit that to the Smithsonian. No Treadclimber used 30 minutes a day for 4 days a week will come close to lasting 7 years. Not even close. After shooting the video I looked into Bowflex and this machine has gotten negative reviews since 2003 when the Treadclimber was first introduced. I would only own a Treadclimber if it was $500. At full price it isn't remotely worth it.
Thanks for this. I was actually considering whether or not I should purchase the item.
using your own weight to make is "climb" is kinda not what I would pay thousands for. lol
Thanks again!!
No problem, everything has something else that works for them. But thanks for the video! I was going to get the smaller version until i saw this!
Way to go, man (sarcasm). You stood on the treads while you waited for the motor to get them up to speed. Instructions say you need to stand on the platforms on each side of the belts so your body weight doesn't burn out the motor as it winds up from zero mph, but you wouldn't bother to read any instructions before you started it up. Why would you? You just wanted to plug the NoricTrak product, I'll bet. You didn't even know what all the console screens do. I have had a Treadclimber for several years. It works great. I burn 200 calories during an intense interval workout, and have dropped 25 pounds in 5 months by using this thing 3 times a week. I'm sure you're happy with your review, though. It'll help sell a lot of NordicTrak machines, which are probably great. This one should not be bashed, though, to boost the NordicTrak.
I should have said I've had the Treadclimber for several years, but just started using it for more than a clothes rack five months ago. If I had been using it all along, I would be in outstanding shape by now. It gives you an amazing workout!
Why would anyone think an excessive machine move up and down automatically?
i'd like to say I've used the TC10 and it worked great or that it sucked.But I can't because we have not even been able to use it at all.A "technician"actually came to our house to set it up for us.Not sure why some have had to do it themsleves but...He assembled it and said it was working fine.I was not home to try it.My housemate was.But was working from home that day and was too busy to verify it.BIG mistake.Later that night she tried it.No power.She called and was told the console was probably bad.3 days later the new one arrived.The same tech and another guy came out.Only to get the same results.After looking into it more the 2nd "tech"found a wire was pinched in the main wiring system.Which tells me that it never worked to begin with.So the first idiot never even tried it.SO.Another week of it sitting around and being usless and the replacement wiring harness has arrived.Am waiting on the tech.again.This time,I'm home! So far.Not real happy with these folks.$2199 later.
Did you end up keeping the TC10? After 4 months (since comment) are you happy with it?
+Jeff Bear Hi Jeff, we know it’s been a while, but we’d like to help. Can you call us at 1-800-605-3369 and let us know the phone number and email address you used when you ordered the TreadClimber? Thank you.
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO TELLS THE TRUTH!
Thank you for the review-- I would not have been happy with this!
+John Staversky Thanks for your comment John! The review isn't representative of how the TreadClimber truly works. It is a very low impact workout, burns up to 2.5x more calories than a regular treadmill, and also has a 4.5 out of 5 star rating from users. Take a look here and and let us know if you have any additional questions: www.treadclimber.com/global/target.jsp?adID=DOXFBTSCODE001&goto=trcproducts11

You are wrong about everything about this machine.
