The Aerofit Treadmill Concept – Catering to the Home Based Fitness Freaks

The Aerofit brand offers a wide range of treadmills that carter to both the sectors: commercial and home use. Like many other brands, even Aerofit offers both sets of treadmills, the manual ones and the motorized treadmills. A huge chunk of the clientele and patronage is via the manual treadmill segment, though the motorized treadmills have gone well with users and even fitness equipments’ critics.

And the multifunction series of treadmills comes across as the ‘running item’ from the Aerofit fitness and exercise equipments. There are various models in the ‘multifunction segment’ and most of these offer 4 major functions in a single treadmill. These functions are as follows:

  • Walker
  • Twister
  • Stepper
  • Push up

The walker or runner (depending on the user’s pace) function works well and with the combination of many health module displays, the effectiveness of these type of treadmills is enhanced. Prominent health module displays are as follows:

  • Speed
  • Distance
  • Time
  • Calories
  • Pulse

The long handle bars, safety aspects, monitor size and the inclination are pretty good. Some of the multifunction models do come with the foldable versions which are a hit with users. In terms of a general analysis, the biggest drawback of the Aerofit treadmill series is the quality of certain models (not all); the quality deteriorates with time. The price of the multifunction manual series may not be north of the optimum price of a general treadmill, but with cutthroat competition, things appear bleak.

Launches like the ‘multifunction’ series will have a tough time attracting more customers if the present problems aren’t addressed well. Overall, the manual Aerofit treadmills get an average rating considering all the aspects like quality, performance (with the window period of first year and further), user satisfaction & ratings etc. In the home based user segment, the manual treadmills from Aerofit have been rated above average.

However, the motorized treadmills from Aerofit (popular models include AF 380, AF 839, AF 5000 etc) in contrast to manual versions are good in quality and performance, but the price pinches the wallet. Also for users, who are keen to have any of the Aerofit treadmills shipped, it is advised to check the ‘all inclusive’ or the end-line price. During promotion based phases or even in cases of satellite advertisements, the fact that there would be local taxes, Octroi charges etc. applicable later, isn’t mentioned at all. Prior to booking, it is recommended to confirm all the details.
