Our honest review after owning the Echelon Stride and using it on a weekly basis for 1 year. Echelon Stride Unboxing Video: • ECHELON STRIDE Treadmi...
First, thank you...costco has a salr today for $1299.95 which I just found out is the original price if bought direct from echelon anyway but at least it's available locally for now. You are the only person who has a 1 year video when the warranty expired or stated the maximum weight allowance. I appreciate your honesty on the machine and app option.
One of my favorite features that this treadmill has is that the wheels can roll sideways making it so easy for me to move it to a different room by myself. My previous treadmill was super heavy and bulky. if I needed to move it, it was impossible to do it on my own as the wheels only moved up or down. Great video! 👍🏼
Hey there. Thanks for the vid. just wondering if you could comment on a 2 year review. You mentioned on your 1 year review that the buttons were peeling. How is it now? It's still available for sale in December 2023 at $1075 from Amazon but not from Echelon. I think its discontinued. But I have limited space requirements like you and I like the simple design. Please comment.
Thank you for making this video. I've been trying to figure out which one is best for us. This would be our first treadmill so we don't really know what to look for but this video makes it super easy to decide. Thank you!
Generally what you're looking for is a motor that has a Constant Horsepower of 2.0+. If peak HP is 2 then goes down to about 1HP or 1.5HP then it will most likely be underpowered. The second thing you want to look for are the size of the rollers. The larger the rollers, generally the stronger the motor and the more resilient they are. If the rollers are smaller than 2", then maybe it's a decent walking treadmill, but not for running/sprints. The last is the deck. If the deck is thick then you're good. Otherwise a thin deck that can deform coupled with a poorly lubricated belt can cause sticking, which obviously is bad. The whole "absorption zones" is mainly for marketing as your shoes should be doing that rather than the treadmill. "Nice to have" is a self-lubricating belt. With that said, the engineering of the Stride 6 seems to hit those points, other than the lubrication part, which isn't a necessity. However, I was a little hesitant given the seemingly "flimsiness" of the frame. But, if it's good enough for 270lbs of Bo Luc Lac, then I think it's good enough for my 180ish lbs. Thank you for the review, sir! Which Echelon model is this?
So I'm 5ft 9 and about 145lb and run at least an hour a day, every day. You think this'll take that sort of beating? Speeds are 11-12kph I've got a 4 year old Norictrack that's on its 2nd belt and rattles like mad. Wife's gonna kick me out of the dining room into the garage soon too. Do you think my neighbours would hate me if I used it in a garage early hours? If you're in the basement, how much noise does your wife hear upstairs?
Thanks for this video! I'm wondering- I want to keep it stored standing up often. Is it secure standing up? I have a small dog and want to make sure this thing won't fall over on him.
It’s pretty stable and secured for us, but we have it in our basement. If your floor shakes a lot when you walk/run, perhaps you can consider getting one of the secured straps on amazon, that’s not echelon-affiliated
Hello. I watched another review that mentioned the belt skipping occasionally, it wobbled at higher inclines and the platform had little to no suspension. What are you opinions on this? Finally, I watched another review that says the motor HP is 1.75. Is that correct?
Well I just found out my condos gyms are closing again due to Covid and I’m ordering this treadmill. Are you saying we can opt out from purchasing the app ? Thanks again for the review !
Still performing well after 1+ year. Subbed to the echelon for only the first year, but discontinued it. It didn’t work well with our Roku TV in the gym.
You can see the entire frame bending and flexing, while she's just WALKING on it at low speed. And when she runs, it looks like it's going to crumble apart. This should be priced at $500, not $1300
Hi I’m looking for a treadmill my husband 5’7 and I 5’0 ranging from 140-190 pounds usuall run 5x week for about 40 min. Would this treadmill be able to handle the use?
I started the purchase process on the Echelon website and it would not let me add the treadmill to my cart unless I selected a membership. So, I went to my cart and tried to remove the membership (and keep the treadmill). I got this popup message: "An Echelon United membership plan is required with your equipment purchase. Removing it from your cart will also remove the equipment associated with this membership." Yep, that's what happened. They *really* want you to purchase that membership. Guess I'll keep looking for a compact, foldable treadmill that goes more than 5 MPH and doesn't weigh 200+ pounds and require professional setup....
@@MichaelBelfiore Same thing happened to me but I was able to purchase the treadmill by choosing the “I’m already an echelon member”. You will just need to log in!
Good review. 👍 We're trying to decide on a treadmill and space is a big factor. This might just fit the bill. Thanks for the heads-up on the app. 🇺🇸 Subbed
Check out the Echelon Stride Sport. It’s sold exclusively at Walmart for less than $700 with tax and shipping. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles, but it’s solid. I just got mine today and I’m very impressed.
I’m 5’9” with long legs, about 155 lbs. Would this work if I want to racewalk with some incline? I also wonder if you think it’s too loud to watch TV or listen to music while working out. I noticed you did have a TV in the room. Anyway, thanks for all your help and the video.
From what I've gathered from other review comments on other videos, you'd be absolutely fine on it. There have been people like myself who have been over 6' tall saying that neither weight, nor their height are a problem for them and they love it.
@@ML_1515 I don't own one, but I think it's safe to say that it would certainly accomodate you. You fall well within the weight limit, and your height will not be an issue.
