Shopping For Star Trac Treadmills OnlineStar Trac Fitness is a company dedicated to the advancement of fitness equipment. Unlike other manufacturers of treadmills, Star Trac has focused on the industrial side of the market. A Star Trac treadmill is a standard treadmill, like most of the others on the market. The difference is, a lot of thought and energy goes into building a quality machine, that will last for a very long time. Their treadmills are very expensive compare to other brands; prices range from $4000 to $6700. The basic treadmill has the moving foot belt, hand rails for user safety and a console packed with vital features. Some models even include fans, charging ports for electronic devices (like iPods), and a personal viewing screen (much like a TV screen). As proof of their dedication to quality, the manufacturing center is a 100,000 square foot facility in Irvine, California. The facility was built in 1997. Of the 100,000 square feet of space, 6640 of it is dedicated to R&D laboratories and 18,000 square feet are for administrative and executive offices. The remainder is for manufacturing, including on site fabrication shops, welding shops and electronic assembly areas. Shipping and sales offices are in a completely separate building a couple of miles away. Star Trac has several models of treadmills available. All are “high end” and start with the Star Trac Sport at around $2,000. Their all inclusive model, the Star Trac Elite, lists at almost $6700. They are trying to break into the home treadmill market, though. These models offer great features for the price and I was hard pressed to find negative feedback about their products. In fact, I couldn’t find any negative reviews of Star Trac products. Perhaps this is due to the outstanding warranty offered by Star Trac. The warranty covers all electrical parts, mechanical parts and wear items for 10 years. The frame is warranted for lifetime and labor is warranted for 3 years. This is an outstanding offer for machinery of this nature and is virtually unmatched in the industry. As stated earlier, negative reports on these machines were non-existent. Couldn’t find one unhappy customer or one reviewer with negative remarks. So, if there was anything to change or say that Star Trac needed to improve on, it would be a more affordable home treadmill. The casual treadmill user at home isn’t going to shell out almost $4000 for a bottom of the line model treadmill. Granted, the quality is there, but who has that kind of cash to invest? With all that warehouse space dedicated to research and development, this should be a small feat for Star Trac treadmills. This writer would say that if Star Trac was able to provide a quality home model treadmill for around $1500, they would probably crush the bulk of competition. Final WordStar Trac treadmills are already trusted in clubs and gyms, since their treadmills are high quality. The average home exerciser will benefit from the high quality Star Trac provides. However, with the cost being very high, it will only make sense if you were considering a $2,000 to $6,000 home treadmill. |
