I've been on my treadclimber nearly everyday since it's arrival. Yes, it arrived on the exact date projected. It took it a little bit of time to assemble it, but then I was off and walking. I was pleasently surprised by the extent of the workout, and then a tad sore the next day, because I woke up some muscles that have been slacking. Now, I'm not unfit, if that's the thought. I'm active in martial arts, swimming, and trail biking...the treadclimber, however - keeps you at a constant pace, climbing. If I turn on an NFL game, I've lost track of time, and spent over an hour and a half walking while engrossed in the game. I didn't get it for weightloss, but for variety in addition to what I normally do, and during the cold/rainy season. Love it. I've got friends that have offered to pay me to come over and use it. It's getting it's workout between my son, myself, and a friend or two.

Hello Friends, if you are looking to buy a treadclimber TC20 here are the things they don't tell you:
1) Please know that the shocks are very tight right out of the box. I thought I was going to die after just 10 minutes. We spent 1 1/2 hours putting this thing together and all I could think of is "how do we send it back." Then my husband said "you must be doing it wrong" So he went on it and had the same realization. After a couple of days it loosened up and we both found our strides. Please don't give up.
2)Start out slow and work your way up. I made it through half of the space needle in the beginning and under two weeks I am making it to the top.
3)The motion of the machine is not hard to get use to. Even my 70 year old mother could use the machine on lower speeds. I did find myself with a "death grip" on the first and even second use but I think I had just watched to many youtube videos of people be shot off the treadmill.
4) I was very discouraged by the "go coach" because all it does is see if you made it to the amount of time or calories or whatever you set it for. You can do that on your own. I wish it did more for the money I spent. Another kicker is that the manual tells you to unplug your machine and if you do this it re-sets the go coach completely.
5)The TC20 is the right machine for taller people (6'+)my husband is 6'4 and needs even bit of stride allowance on the machine.
6)over all I love my machine. It is VERY sturdy. I am not burning 500 calories a session yet. and I have to wonder how this machine factors in my weight to give me an accurate calories burn total? Because I am moving 197 lbs around and I did workout for 30 minutes but I burned less than 200 calories... things just don't seem to add up. Oh well, I can tell things are firming up already so hopefully I will see lower number on the scale soon. See you at the top.

I am 63 years old have type II diabetes and high blood pressure. I was to sedentary and not feeling all that well. I have had a life problem with shin splints and tight calves that were exasperated when I tried to run or walk. My wife talked me into buying the TC 20 a month ago. Right from the get go I did not have pain from exercising with the TC 20. This morning I did 30 min, 1.3 miles, burned 362 cal, max Hr 154, avg 139 and my HR 15 min after exercise was 88/60/103 and no pain. I am feeling better about my life style.
