Features
The decks of Lifespan treadmills range from 17 by 48 inches for the folding model to 22 by 62 inches for the top of the line pro model. Most of the Lifespan treadmills except the two pro models fold for easy storage. Consoles come with varied features, but each model comes with a range of speeds and readouts for calories and heart rate.

There are three light models in the Lifespan treadmill line. The TR 200, TR500 and TR800 models are priced under $1,000 and are for the light walker who performs no more than 45 minutes of walking per day. These treadmills are specifically for one user who weighs less than 210 pounds. Each of the light series treadmills is compact and folds easily to fit under a bed or in another compact storage space.
The moderate series, TR1000, TR1200i and TR2000, treadmills are priced under $1,500. These treadmills are suited for one or two users who jog or walk for a combined 60 minutes per day, five days a week. All moderate treadmill models fold, though they may not fit under your bed.
