Basic Information:
I’ve been asked to compare the three machines in the Bowflex treadmill series. To make this easy to understand I will compare the 5 series with the 7 series. I will then compare the 3 series to the 5 and hopefully you will be able to make an informed decision.
Bowflex is owned by Nautilus, Inc. The retail price of the 7 is $1,999. The retail price of the 5 is $1,800 but you can get it for several hundred dollars less. The 7 is selling for about $1500; the 5 for about $1200.
I have reviewed the first 3 models in the line of TreadClimbers by Bowflex. I am now reviewing the newer TC5300 which will run you about $500 more than the TC5000 which was the top of the line. The TC5300 is one under the current top of the line.

Bowflex is owned by Nautilus, Inc. The retail price of the 3 is about $1200 but you can get it for around $1,000. The retail price of the 5 is $1,800 but you can get it for several hundred dollars less as well. Still the 3 will save you several hundreds of dollars.
Bowflex doesn’t just make bow machines. They make other equipment such as the Bowflex 7-Series Treadmill. Bowflex is owned by Nautilus, Inc. The retail price is $1,999.
Basic Information:
I am going to call this machine the 7 for the sake of ease of reading.
It weighs about 185 pounds. This is very light for a treadmill of this caliber. It can be folded. I did fold this machine because Bowflex claims that it has what they call a SoftDrop technology. I agree that this works. After I folded it I just pushed on it a little and the deck went gliding to the floor softly. I’ve never seen this.

Getting a new piece of exercise equipment means different things for different people. One of the most popular goals, promises or perhaps New Year resolutions is to get in shape. As a retired personal trainer, my recommendation is to get a piece of equipment you will actually plan on using. One piece of equipment other than weights that I highly recommend is a good treadmill. The BOWFLEX 7 Series Folding Treadmill is manufactured by Nautilus (www.nautilius.com). While this review will not be all inclusive it will cover the major areas of the BOWFLEX 7 that I feel are important as it relates to making an informed purchasing decision.

The TreadClimber 6000 is the last in my series of TreadClimber reviews – that is until they come up with yet another model number. I was sure this one was the one.
About TreadClimbers
Bowflex’s TreadClimbers combines three different cardio machines (cadio-vascular refers to heart and lungs) in one. They simulate the movements of a stair climber, an elliptical machine and a treadmill. They feel like I’m stepping forward as I would on a treadmill, stepping up like a stair climber and with low impact like an elliptical.
