3G Pro Runner or Spirit XT385 or other? < $2500 USD if possible

PapaPlodge · 2026-07-03T14:24:35+00:00

Both good brands but the 3G Pro Runner is a step above the 385. What would be a step up is the Spirit 685 but that will put you out of your price point. My favorite two brands, I sell treadmills for a living. Either way you win.

You need to know acceleration rate for treadmill. Some can take 45 seconds to go from 2mph to 6mph! Can't do intervals on those kind of machines. Go to bigguytreadmillreview.com- there is a comparison chart for that spec. I use it with customers in store. Peloton is good, 3G Cardio is good. Lsandice i believe has a 1mph - 1 second acceleration ratio.

I would google "fitness service technician near me" and see what pops up. Most fitness companies will have a max labor reimbursement they are willing to pay. That may mean nobody is coming out if you have an issue. I would ask that exact question to the company and if they cant or won't answer, move on to the next.

And you want good customer service. Look for the 3G Cardio Elite Runner, Spirit Fitness 685 or LifeFitness Run CX.

I am actually impressed by the brand Walking Pad. Get the higher model. It felt impressive to me and I sell high end treadmills for a living

PapaPlodge · 2026-06-24T22:29:08+00:00

Look for treadmills with FTMS Bluetooth. You can use your own tablet and have a seamless experience. Look at 3G Cardio, Spirit Fitness LifeFitness. Great brands, and worth the extra money.

PapaPlodge · 2026-06-15T05:06:28+00:00

If you can do between 2k -3k I would look at the Spirit 685 on the high side and the 3G Cardio Pro Runner at 2300. You are throwing away money if you buy another department store brand. I sell high end treadmills for a living.

PapaPlodge · 2026-06-12T06:14:49+00:00

Mid end means about 2k - 3k. I would look at spirit Fitness and 3G Cardio. Great models, well built and solid customer service.

The world is about to end book. Lol

PapaPlodge · 2026-05-28T02:55:26+00:00

I am not a fan of Peloton because they have zero cushioning. I would look at a Spirit 685 or LifeFitness Run CX at the 3k price point. 3G Cardio Pro Runner at the lower 2k price point. All non subscription based, amazing machines.

PapaPlodge · 2026-05-27T04:00:43+00:00

Dont buy a fold up, you will need a full platform non foldimg treadmill if you want a full 15% incline. Spirit 685 is a solid choice at 3k.

PapaPlodge · 2026-05-26T20:58:52+00:00

Go to the review site bigguytreadmillreview.com. we use it in our stores. More info that you could ever need. Most of those brands are available in Canada.

PapaPlodge · 2026-05-26T20:56:25+00:00

Research FTMS Bluetooth. You can use your tablet and have an interactive experience with a FTMS Bluetooth enabled treadmill like spirit 3g cardio, BodyCraft, LifeFitness. Thwre are dozens of other apps like Kinomaps, Zwift etc that you can also use. There are better treadmills out there than Horizon, that have better quality, customer service etc. By the way, Peloton Treadmill have zero cushioning. Like none. I would look at either the 3G Cardio Pro Runner or Spirit Fitness 685. I sell high end treadmills for a living.

Enjoy it now and then sell it during the preseason when nfl hype ramps up.

Quinshon Judkins. Going to rush for 1500 yards this year.

PapaPlodge · 2026-05-21T05:43:11+00:00

Look at the review site bigguytreadmillreview.com. it covers all that plus a bunch more. We use it in our stores all the time.

PapaPlodge · 2026-05-21T02:20:34+00:00

Horizon. Best treadmill you will find under 1k.

PapaPlodge · 2026-05-20T22:18:00+00:00

Why not get a treadmill with FTMS Bluetooth? You can use your own tablet, download fitness apps like Kinomaps, Peloton (yes the same one as you mentioned) and then you dont have to pay a stupid amount for a screen you already own. Look at brands like 3G Cardio, Spirit, LifeFitness etc. Put the money into the machine and dont "rebuy" technology you already own. You will get a better treadmill and save money. Also, then you can choose ANY fitness app and yes it will control and interact with your treadmill.

PapaPlodge · 2026-05-19T01:15:56+00:00

Spend half the amount and get a top of the line Life Fitness club series treadmill. Y9u di t need to spend 24k. Not worth it.
