The Reebok Treadmill brand actually produces a wide range of products beyond the cheap treadmills. There is a  rubber treadmill mat by Reebok, with the notable Reebok logo.

Reebok treadmills have the Reebok brand slapped on them but there is hardly a correlation to the shoe and apparel maker most of us are familiar with. ICON fitness purchased the right to brand a line of cheap treadmills with the Reebok label in a particularly genius marketing effort. It provides buyers the comfort of thinking that they are buying from a well established brand. It’s not that ICON fitness isn’t established with their line of Precor, Smooth, and Landice Treadmills; those products just don’t ring a bell with people outside the treadmill industry.

The design of a Reebok treadmill appeals to those looking to buy something that looks good, which more or less is every buyer. Reebok models are also readily available at most retail sports outlets and department stores.

Some consumers do fall in love with Reebok treadmills because of its list of features. Most models can fold away for easy storage. The frame is typically very stable and durable. However, it’s important to note that motor burn-out seems common with models that have over-sized belts that tend to push the limits of the cheap motor in the cheap treadmill.

In speaking of cheap treadmills and the specific, the Reebok 8400C is one of the best models recently. The Reebok 9500 ES is a foldable model with built-in flat screen TV. And the Reebok VISTA is sold to impulse buyers. If you decide on a Reebok treadmill, you’re a dime away from being sold a Reebok Treadmill Mat. It’s the same as any other mat of its class except for the notable Reebok logo. I’m a minimalist so a logo on something is normally is a solid color would actually discourage me from considering the Reebok Treadmill Mat. But rubber treadmill mats are among the best values because they are the cheapest and provide all the benefits of any mat.
