The E55 is equipped with a heavy 27-pound flywheel, a high gear ratio not found on most comparable models, and a whisper-quiet drive system. As a result, the trainer delivers an extremely fluid performance and plenty of top-end resistance, helping it function like a much more expensive trainer. The E55's power incline feature, meanwhile, boosts resistance even more while targeting different core muscle groups, adding diversity to your workout. Simply press a button to raise the incline ramp to your preferred position. The ramp angle is fully adjustable from a level plane up to 40 degrees, so you can individually target and work all major lower body muscles. <p>The E55 makes it easy to track your workout progress via the vibrant 7.5-inch blue LCD display, which includes windows for resistance, incline, time, distance, calories burned, pulse, and pace. The console also offers a number of handy amenities, including built-in speakers for listening to your iPod or MP3 player, built-in cooling fans, and a water bottle holder.</p> <p>The E55 comes complete with two heart-rate-controlled workout options, so you can customize the workout specifically to your needs. Throughout your HR workout, the elliptical will display a heart rate zone graph on the console while adjusting the resistance to keep you in your target zone (the trainer includes a wireless chest strap that touts a 99.9 percent accuracy rating). <table align="right" cellpadding="10" width="298"> <tbody> <tr> <td><img align="top" border="0" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/stores/sport-goods/sole-e55-right-collage.jpg" /><br /><br /><small><em><strong>The E55 offers an adjustable pedals so that you can angle the pedal from heel-to-toe for a comfortable feel.</strong></em></small></td> </tr> </tbody> </table>The remainder of the time, you can challenge yourself with the six automatic programs or two customizable programs.</p> <p>To encourage a more comfortable workout, Sole added oversized, custom-designed foot pedals to the E55. Designed in collaboration with a leading physical therapist and sports enthusiast, the pedals feature a 2-degree inward slope, helping reduce the ankle and knee stress that's common in other elliptical machines. This collaboration also produced a revolutionary foot pedal adjustment system not found on any other elliptical brand. Sole knows that not everyone walks the same way, so the company's engineers designed the E55 to adjust to your gait via a dial mechanism. This allows you to set the pedal angle from heel to toe, with 10 total choices.

		<description><![CDATA[The LifeSpan TR3000i folding treadmill is durable, reliable, and loaded with valuable features, helping you walk, jog, or run with confidence in the comfort of your own home. The award-winning treadmill's pleasing design includes safe and convenient handlebar controls, which let you control your speed and incline without ever removing your hands from the handlebars. As a result, you can run or walk without fear of losing your concentration or balance while adjusting your pace. The TR3000i is also built for comfort and power, with a 2.75-horsepower motor, 2.5-inch rollers, a spacious 20-by-56-inch running surface, and a biomechanically sound deck suspension system that supports people up to 350 pounds. And to help you track your workout progress, the treadmill automatically saves your exercise data to your USB storage device. Once the info is saved, you can upload it to your personal online LifeSpan Fitness Club account, giving you access to exercise programs and detailed reports of your exercise and health results. <p> <table align=right width=250 cellpadding=10> <tr><td><img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/stores/sport-goods/B002FJZLJY-1.jpg" border=0 align=top><br /><br /><small><i><b>The multicolored LCD console tracks your time, distance, calories, and more.</b></i></small> </td></tr></table>  The centerpiece of the TR3000i, however, is the multicolored LCD console, which offers several simultaneous readouts and exercise programs to help you achieve your health and fitness goals. The display tracks your time, calories, distance, steps, heart rate, speed, and incline level, with large soft-touch keys helping you get started and control your momentum. More importantly, the console offers a variety of preset workout programs that help you vary your exercise routine--a critical factor for people trying to get in shape. Many of the workout programs on the TR3000i are grouped by exercise motivation, so you can quickly choose a workout that's right for you. The program categories include weight loss (choose from steady pace, long slow distance, cardio run, short interval, or uphill walk); healthy living (with uphill climb, pyramid climb, plateau climb, ladder, and uphill interval options); and sports training (with seven programs designed to help you train for an upcoming sporting event). <p> In addition to the preset programs, the treadmill offers two My Zone heart rate control programs and two custom programs. The My Zone Constant program keeps your heart rate at a constant level--thereby using your heart rate as a fitness tool--while the My Zone Interval program lets you enter your own minimum and maximum hear rate. As you exercise, the treadmill speed and incline will automatically adjust to keep your heart rate at the preferred level. By contrast, the custom programs are fully adaptable to your favored workout formula. That's because you're in charge of setting the speed and incline level for each of the 20 program segments, and then saving them for future use. <p>  As a bonus, when you purchase a LifeSpan TR3000i treadmill, you automatically receive a membership for the LifeSpan Fitness Club. This comprehensive online health management program, powered by the Interactive Health Partner, lets you select exercise programs, track and manage your fitness and health results, and receive motivating support as you work toward achieving your goals. The LifeSpan Fitness Club is easy to use: each time you work out on the TR3000i, the treadmill automatically saves your exercise results on your LifeSpan USB storage device. Because the USB device is personalized with your age, gender, and weight, not only do you bypass setup screens, you also receive accurate calorie calculations based on your data. Every 20 seconds during your workout, the console will then record your heart rate, minutes, miles, steps, and calories. After your workout, you simply upload your results to your personalized online account on your computer using the USB device. You'll then have access to a full set of detailed reports and fun facts that you can analyze or share with friends, family, fitness coaches, or physicians. <p>  Other details include a set of built-in speakers and a headphone plug-in, making it easy to listen to music as you walk or run; a large front safety bar that's designed and positioned for easy access; an EZ Drop folding design that lowers the treadmill deck to the ground softly and lightly; and an Intelli-Guard automatic safety pause that stops the treadmill belt from moving when no one is walking or running on the treadmill. <table align=right width=200 cellpadding=10> <tr><td><img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/stores/sport-goods/B002FJZLJY-2.jpg" border=0 align=top><br /><br /><small><i><b>The treadmill includes a folding frame with an automatic EZ Drop system.</b></i></small> </td></tr></table>  <p> <b>Specifications:</b><ul> <li>Belt size: 20 by 56 inches <li>Drive motor: 2.75-horsepower continuous-duty DC <li>Belt type: 2 ply <li>Incline motor: 800-pounds max lift <li>Rollers: 2.5-inch front, 2-inch rear <li>Speed: 0.5 to 12 miles per hour <li>Incline: 15 levels <li>Deck suspension: 8 variable-density elastomers <li>Deck: 1-inch phenolic <li>Folding system: EZ Drop <li>Side rails: Nonslip plastic <li>Dimensions: 35 by 52 by 75 inches (W x H x D) <li>Capacity: 350 pounds </ul><p>   <b>Manufacturer's Warranty</b><br /> Lifetime on the frame and motor, 5 years on parts, 1 year on labor<p>  <b>About PCE Health and Fitness</b><br /> Founded in 1994 in Park City, Utah, PCE Health and Fitness has established a reputation for innovation, quality, and community responsibility.

The award-winning line of exercise equipment is now sold by fitness retailers across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, and has grown to include both a high-value home series and a pro series that targets the high-end home user and the institutional customer.

The company truly believes that the best piece of exercise equipment is the one that you'll use, and focuses its research and development on creating such innovations as step-counting and decline-walking in the TR2000, and the intelligent console buttons that lead customers through console operations so they don't have a learning curve to use PCE products. The company also promotes active living and exercise as part of its beliefs and culture. PCE is a proud sponsor of the International Council on Active Aging and is a member of the Medical Fitness Association.

The company truly believes that the best piece of exercise equipment is the one that you'll use, and focuses its research and development on creating such innovations as step-counting and decline-walking in the TR2000, and the intelligent console buttons that lead customers through console operations so they don't have a learning curve to use PCE products. The company also promotes active living and exercise as part of its beliefs and culture. PCE is a proud sponsor of the International Council on Active Aging and is a member of the Medical Fitness Association. PCE also donates equipment to local high schools and provides funding to the American Diabetes Association and various nonprofit organizations and activities.<p>
