TRX4500 Treadmill

Purchased from Academy Sports. Delivery was about 10 days early and I paid the movers to take to my workout room. I must admit that I needed a second person to hold the uprights when connecting the computer cables. Had one scratch on left upright that had decal applied over it (factory must have known). The look, feel, and performance are exactly what I needed and wanted. I am very satisfied with this purchase after one month.

This is an amazing treadmill. I love the connection to Zwift. Has improved my workouts so much.

Overall I am happy with the value and quality of the TRX4500. I would give it four stars. It is a quality build and looks like it will last a long time. The unit is heavy, so when setting up ensure you have two strong people helping, with three recommended. It helps if you unpack the box and move some parts separately to lighten the load. You may need help putting the side arms on. The electrical wires can be tricky, so make sure you don't crimp them when putting on the console. I recommended wrapping in electrical tape to ensure against future wear.manu

Pros: fairly quiet, many programs, two user programs, very good display, heart and pulse monitor (didn't use), small fan, music input with speakers (didn't use), fold up option (didn't use)

Cons: The main reason I did not give this five stars is because the unit does not turn off automatically after non use. If you don't turn it off, the display stays on forever, and the fan blows if you happened to have it on. I find it very irritating to have to turn off the unit at the botton switch. The second major con is that there is no easy way to re-use the last program you were using, and to simply use that program for a different time period. I plan on using my own user program, but to execute that program I have to press a button 31 times to get to it, and if I want to change the time for a run, I need to enter my name (five button presses, age, weight, and then time). At over 40 button presses I am afraid they will wear out too soon. There needs to be a way to simply get back to the last program you used and go with minimal interaction.

Didn't Use: music input, heart rate monitor, fold up option

The TRX4500 arrived today with cosmetic damage most likely occurring during shipping.

When discovered, the white glove service company did not want to set-up but Xterra assisted in convincing them it was ok so a local technician can replace the damaged parts and I will not need to set aside 1/2 a day for the 2nd delivery.

Sales, Service and Technical helped work through these issues and delivery occurred in only 4-5 business days.

So far A+ on Xterra’s behalf.

I just received the TRX4500 this week. Took 5 days to arrive. Delivery man brought into the garage and my son and I took the parts out and carried them to the basement. Much easier then trying to take the whole box down. Base is heavy but we managed. Took less then 30 minutes to assemble. Great directions. This thing is sturdy as can be. Best treadmill I have ever owned. Cannot beat the price. We are extremely happy with this purchase. Motor is strong, very quiet and easy to run on. Spend the extra money and get this over the smaller motors. Well worth it. Easy to fold up.

There's one thing that's always bugged me when I'm on the treadmill. I want to speed up or slow down, but I have to reach out and use the control on the main panel. I'm one of those guys that needs to get going for a while before I let go of the hand grips and start running for real. This has controls on the side handlebars that work great. I can make changes while I am holding them comfortably and then when I am running it makes it much easier to change speed or incline. Very happy with it so far.
Then I find the Trail Rider on the XTERRA site. It has speed and angle control buttons right on the handlebars. I can slowly move the speed up and jack up the incline and I never have to actually let go of anything. I'm running more stable and comfortable, and I don't need to worry about falling over and smacking my head on the deck.

I love this treadmill. I have only had it for about three weeks now but it runs great. I have put this treadmill to the test and so far it has not disappointed me. The display screen is a nice blue and very easy to see under florescent lights in my basement. The speaker quality is not the best but I use my ear pods anyway while running. I think this is the best value I could find feature for feature. Recommended a winner by a runner! You get an excellent warranty which hopefully I never need, but it is there if I need it.

This is one solid machine! The programs work great. I am a long time runner (about 10 miles per week) and this equipment just holds up. Great price for what you get. No regrets.

I've been through 4 treadmills in my life and all of them have been fold ups that have wobbly and weak decks. This one is the exception! Finally someone nailed an easy folding deck that doesn't feel like it is cheap or going to break. This treadmill feels like something I'd find at my local gym but it isn't commercial.

I'm a very picky person. I spend a lot of time researching most things prior to making an actual purchase. This is one that I am extremely satisfied with. The manufactured quality is exactly what you would expect from a brand higher priced. The simplicity of the console and the features are exactly what I was looking for. I use my ipad for Netflix, and music during my workout. It rest nicely on the console. I have no complaints, and highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a quality treadmill.

I have only used this treadmill a few times, but I am thoroughly impressed with it. I bought it to replace a less expensive treadmill that had broken down numerous times over the past few years. The home inside delivery was an experience and hard to arrange but worth the effort. I highly recommend. It is heavy and a great value too!

First purchased treadmill and its everything I was looking for! Setup was super easy and delivery was a breeze! I was a little familiar with XTERRA from being a runner for so long, so when I was ready to actually purchase a treadmill, I knew it would be stable, quiet, and good quality. Best money spent in a long time.
