Athlon Treadmills Review

Are They The Best Treadmills For You?

If you’re looking for a machine with eye catching design, then this is the brand for you. Athlon models come with excellent packaging as this seems to be what the company is focusing on at the moment in order to sell more units.

The Company behind the Brand

Athlon machines are owned by Athlon fitness, a company which was established in the USA in 1997. They have been concentrating their efforts to market Athlon machines to specialty fitness retailers. But lately, most of these retailers (even internet fitness sites) had discontinued offering Athlon.

Price Range

Athlons are sold for very low prices. They are considered by many as cheap alternatives to Icon manufactured treadmills (especially since they have a slight edge in quality). Currently, they have 2 models in the market. One is sold for a little less than $1,000 and the other for around $1,300.

Weakness

The biggest concern I have with buying Athlon units is that I don’t think the company would be around for very long(especially since most retailers are no longer selling this brand). And if the company shuts down, your treadmill warranty would be useless.

Recommendation

I wouldn’t recommend Athlon treadmills. I believe that there are other comparable brands out there that offer way better entry level treadmills. (See our best treadmills page)

Where to Buy?

If you’re going to buy an Athlon, I suggest you locate a dealer through Athlonfitness.com since most internet fitness sites no longer offer this brand.

Just when my warranty expired, I had trouble with the Cfi treadmill.

The treadmill stopped abruptly and then as quickly as it stopped, it started ...
