I've used life fitness for years and when they brought out the f3!i had to have one at Home. Three and a half years on with light use the deck has completely split. I have had it serviced by life fitness and the belt is like new. My running form is good and I weigh 13 and a half stone. Haven't been pleased with the quality or after sales. Parts have to be shipped from the us. By a good quality cheaper model. This was my last life fitness purchase. Sadly.

we are thinking of buying the f3 but I cant find any reviews from anyone or any sites that are not trying to endorse it. If any one owns this model pls give me an honest review (should we buy it?)

I needed teadmill that wouldn't take up too much space and so needed a folding one. However most folding treadmills are meant to be of an inferior standard, but the F3 breaks the norm on this.

I see no difference between this and the kind of commercial treadmill you would get in a gym. Folding up is very easy and the machine is extremely sturdy. With the advanced console you have all the different options to keep yoir workouts varied and the included precor heart rate monitor means you can keep within your target heart rate. It is not a noisy machine and the speed and incline levels could probably only be outdone by and Olympian!

When our treadmill arrived the screen on the console wasn't working properly but Life fitness immediately sent a new one out and a technician to install it. This new one kept tripping out so a third arrived but we have had no problems since.

The service to rectify the situation was second to none and I would say you have peace of mind with a company like Life Fitness.

I would certainly recommend this treadmill!

Too many problems to mention, i could be here all day talking about the problems i have had with this treadmill. I just made a bad decision when i brought this
