This product is no longer available. You can find other popular items here.
The Body Sculpture BT3152 Treadmill is a machine that will appeal to a number of prospective buyers based on first impressions because the specification suggests a nice mixture of helpful statistics and convenient features.
This treadmill, with its 2 level manual incline, speeds of 0.8 to 14kph/0.5 to 8.75mph and 2.2hp peak motor, appears to offer the capabilities for a good workout.
The running machine is enhanced by the 110kg maximum user weight – as well as some top features for comfort and progress tracking, such as the computer console, hand pulse sensors, water bottle holder and phone/MP3 holder. Does this product offer the performance that appears to be promised?
How advantageous is the Body Sculpture BT3152’s function and design for the average user?
There is a sense from user testimonials that this Body Sculpture treadmill is a rather simple machine and that one of its strengths is the fact that it is such a basic, functional model that almost any user can get to grips with.
This machine, which mostly comes pre-assembled, has four settings in its system – three that are already pre-set and one that is manual – and the ability to put a timer on the program so that users can easily fit a workout around the rest of their daily routine.
Interestingly, one of the other benefits that has been frequently highlighted – possibly more than any other – is the foldable design, something that was probably meant as little more than an added convenience.
When this Body Sculpture BT3152 Treadmill is folded out to its full size and in full working order, it requires a floor space of 158 x 72 x 130cm; when the machine is folded up this space dramatically decreases to 30 x 72 x 158, meaning it can easily be stored up against the wall without being a nuisance.
Are there any flaws to this Body Sculpture BT3152 Motorised Treadmill?
Unfortunately, there are two aspects of this treadmill’s specification that have been contested by reviewers for their possible inaccuracies. The first is the idea that there are two distinct inclines on the treadmill, with some users suggesting that it is actually the case that the machine has a slight incline and a flat setting.
The second argument is over the idea that this product has a “large cushioned running deck” because a few users feel it is actually too narrow. Elsewhere, buyers have criticised the lack of instructions and the quality of the pulse rate monitor.
It seems that although this monitor is a nice touch when it works, it can also be very temperamental and one user even reported getting an shock from it.
Do these flaws lessen the appeal of this Body Sculpture BT3152?
There is a definite idea that you get what you pay for with this treadmill and that buyers should not expect anything beyond the limited, albeit fully-functional, settings and the added bonuses of the space-saving design and extra features.
If you are looking for more of a challenge and can’t get over the potential downsides of the incline and running space then it is best to look elsewhere; if these issues are not a problem then you should find the Body Sculpture treadmill provides all you require from a basic treadmill.
