Bodyguard Treadmill: Quality without Compromise

Bodyguard Treadmills has undergone a major shakeup in management quite recently. They redid most of their treadmill designs and have come up big. The designs are more fluid and user friendly, rather than bulky and complicated. Another relative newcomer, since having started manufacturing treadmills in 1995, they are nonetheless backed by 36 years of experience in fitness equipment manufacturing.

Bodyguard's parent company, the Canadian Procycle, has been known for quality parts and construction of fitness cycles and other gym and home fitness equipment. Thus, consumers can be assured of Bodyguard Treadmills' reliability and overall quality.

There is a distinction that Bodyguard enjoys, and that is their method for creating their machines. In contrast to most treadmill manufacturers who tend to create a target sale price point and then build a treadmill to adapt to this, Bodyguard eliminates the target price and just builds their treadmills and prices them according to the level of quality. This may hike up the prices, since construction of these treadmills include very durable and top of the line materials, but at the end of the day, consumers come home with a treadmill that they know will last, giving them undoubtedly good value for their money. Other manufacturers are forced to sacrifice odds and ends on their treadmills to arrive at the target sales price range, thus sacrificing quality for corporate strategy.

This year, Bodyguard released their professional line, which may seem like too much in comparison to cheaper alternatives, but knowing that the company puts quality first, rather than cost, pricing and sales strategy, assures the buyer that Bodyguard isn't in the business of solely creating profit, they are mostly concerned about the performance and longevity of a product that is, in the onset, a big expense and is expected to last a long period of time.

Generally, Bodyguard's treadmill line offers such features as good two - dimensional LED displays which provide clear indicators of all major treadmill workout concerns like speed, elevation, distance, calories, elapsed time, pace and heart rate.

Speed and elevation indicators are marked by light intensity, making sure you know what you're looking at to adjust the machine to your needs. The 3-second start signal prepares you for the work out too, another safety idea by Bodyguard. All Bodyguard treadmills have built in shock dissipation for cushioning and support, also, their T260 is a 20 inch treadmill with features that are usually found in higher priced machines. The T260 is powered by a powerful 2.75 motor, almost as powerful as commercial gym machines that have 3.0 motors and is heart rate interactive, a feature that is important in treadmills because one's heart rate indicate the amount of fat they burn, thus knowing your target heart rate ensures the maximum aerobic workout.

The management shake-up seems to bode well for Bodyguard, coming up with their latest products that are fit to different clientele, and with the backing of their large parent company, things are looking good for the treadmill newbie. Why wouldn't it, if a company aiming for excellence and innovation is kept grounded by the need for excellent quality and is backed by a stable fitness giant, then things would surely be on the up and up for Bodyguard.
