However, Sprint 3 has some minuses when you compare it to the Slim Line. For instance, it has only 12 incline levels between 0 and 12% and no heart rate measurements. The console isn't the fanciest, but it is simple to use and shows all your running stats, including time, speed, distance and cals burned, plus the quiet motor means you won’t disturb family or flatmates during early morning training sessions. The ZR8 has a folding design to save space in between workouts. While this treadmill is still relatively compact (165 (L) x 74 (W) x 143 (H) cm), it still has a generous running area of 126 (L) x 41(W) cm. When folded up, this machine’s footprint shrinks to 102 (L) x 74 (W) x 143 (H) cm. This is not a huge issue. Indeed, a bit of heft in any gym gear can add to stability. However, if you are planning to keep it on the second floor, you may require the help of more than two people.

It has a top speed of 20KPH which is 5KPH more than most treadmills offer and will allow even the fastest of runners to be seriously challenged.
