Anyways, because of its unique nature, the treadmill is gloriously named the ‘Walk to Fitness’ model.

The size and power of the motor is optimal enough to aid you in your brisk walking.

Verdict
The Exerpeutic TF1000 Ultra High Capacity Fitness Treadmill is a moderately good treadmill with its fair share of flaws. It doesn’t try to fool anyone by overselling its purpose, remember that Exerpeutic themselves advertise this machine as one suited only to walking. So this limits the demograph they are targeting in the market so those who are adamant on running will be a little disappointed to know that the TF1000 model does not accommodate their needs and restless runner’s legs. But since this is Exerpeutic, a trusted giant of fitness machines, there need to be no second doubts about the extent of its quality which will undoubtedly be high. Personally we love this machine. We think it’s the best option out there if you’re a walker looking to stock your house with a very reliable treadmill. So go for it!
