Landice L7 Pro Sports Trainer Treadmill Review

  Treadmill Articles

Commercial Grade for the Home

The Landice L7 Pro Sports Trainer is about as good as it gets in the $3,000+ price range. It is commercial quality for the home. There is no denying that Landice makes a very solid and reliable treadmill. It is designed for extensive use or multiple users.

This is the treadmill you will pass on to your children. In fact, it comes with a lifetime parts warranty (1-year labor). It is one of the most generous warranties on the market. The one catch is the treadmill has to be installed by a dealer within a 60 mile radius, and the warranty does not apply to online sales. Not sure why they put those limitations. Online sales come with a commercial 5-year warranty.

I recently tested several of the newly designd Landice treadmills at a fitness specialty store. You won't find these at a Dick's or Sports Authority. It is solid, quiet and runs very smooth. It is a perfect example of a company that has been building treadmills for nearly 40 years. In fact, that is all they build.

Landice uses a very large 3.0 continuous duty HP motor. I know that many treadmill manufacturers state their motors are 3.0 HP, but most are over exaggerating. When you compare the Landice motor to other treadmills, you will instantly notice that it is substantially bigger. This motor is guaranteed to run effortlessly under the most strenuous workouts. It is also one of the quietest motors on the market.

The belt has a comfortable 58" length, which can handle runners up to about 6'2". Beyond that you want to go into their L8 series that have 60" belts.

The machine weighs a hefty 300 lbs. It is as solid as a boulder. You will want this machine delivered and installed by professionals that are former fullbacks.

Our Review - Landice L7 Pro Sports Trainer

With the solid reputation and a new design you can't go wrong with a Landice. Some may think it is pricey, but in comparison to other models it is a good value for a commercial grade machine.

You can get a better treadmill then the L7 Pro Sport Trainer, but plan to spend $1,500+ more.
