The Epic T60 Treadmill: Putting New Limits on Economy
The Epic T60 treadmill is made exclusively for Costco, the discount retailer. It has useful and desirable features for the home gym and general fitness training, but it’s often discounted to well under $1000.
Using the Epic brand name on select models, Icon Health and Fitness, Inc. is the world’s largest manufacturer of quality personal training, weight loss and fitness treadmills, as well as other sports equipment for weight training and conditioning. physical, and markets products like the Epic t60 treadmills specifically for large retailers like Costco.
Strong machine, low price
The Epic t60 incorporates the best of Icon’s treadmill designs. Designed for home gym use with the larger user in mind, the t60 features an adjustable padded platform with a large surface area and is capable of supporting weights up to 350 lbs.
Equipped with a powerful motor and power incline, the t60 is suitable for light and intense fitness and weight loss regimens, as well as general sports training.
Plus, feedback and readout displays keep track of time, distance, calories burned, speed, and heart rate measured through the pulse sensor grips. Heart rate is measured and displayed by an optional chest pulse sensor.
The Epic t60 offers customizable, pre-programmed workout programs and iFit.com, the interactive training technology found in most Icon exercise equipment.
With the optional chest sensor, iFit will control the speed and incline of the treadmill in response to your heart rate, providing a coach-guided workout online or on a CD.
Your home stereo, computer, portable device and VCR can be connected to the Epic t60 to keep you entertained while you work out.
And, like many of Icon’s treadmills, the Epic t60 folds flat after use.
While the motor carries a 12-year warranty, parts and labor for everything else only carry a 90-day warranty, a concern voiced by TreadmillDoctor, which doesn’t sell treadmills but rates the Epic t60 as a ‘winner’ for Costco.
Costco offers “threshold delivery,” not curbside, and its return policy applies to all 400 of its warehouses.
