So I've been seeing the commercial for this thing and I thought I'd get online and check out how much they wanted for it - $2,300! This sounds pretty high to me and very out of my price range. Just curious what you pros have to say about it?

I'll have to stick w/my treadmill!

the reason the treadclimber works better then a regular treadmill is that when ur on a regular treadmill they assume ur walking at 0 incline, while the treadclimber makes you step upward like ur going up a hill. you can get the same benefits from walking at a 10-15% incline on a regular treadmill, though you may get shin splits, if you decide to try walking uphill you'll burn alot more calories, sometimes as musch as 4X, just make sure your not holding urself up with the rails or the grips, use ur arms to pump like ur sprinting and drive urself up the hill, trust me its a good workout
