Gold's Gym Maxx Crosswalk 650 Treadmill

I was totally impressed by all the features on the Gold's Gym Maxx treadmill. There were more features than I had expected. It's well-built, no flimsy construction here. I feel like Ii'm at the gym and there is a personal trainer,who talks to me and leads me through different routines. I couldn't be happier with my selection of the Gold's Gym Maxx. It folds up for easy storage, has a fan and 10 different incline levels. yahoo !

Had a Proform i-445 before. Was happy with this but belt started to default. Was looking at other proform but reviewed consumer report and they recommended this model. Found at local store clearanced for 350.00 could not pass up. So happy with this purchase. Excellent product. Many extras. I find it compariable if not better then my Proform. Would recommend to anyone. I was going to purchase at on line price so very much worth what asking.

I basically agree with the previous review by AZNative.
Everything about this treadmill, in my opinion, is of excellent quality. Except the drive belt. Not the belt that you walk on -- the drive belt. I'm 2x years old, and also use this treadmill nightly. Of all the treadmills I have used in the past, until tonight this is the only one I have had no complaints about (and yes, if you are over 6' tall, the fan works out nicely). Now, after only a half year in service, the drive belt has given out. I weight ~200lbs, exercise ~100min every night at a speed of ~4.2mph while lifting 2x10lb weights. IM NOT TRYING TO IMPRESS ANYBODY. I'm just giving you information on how I use it so you can decide whether the failure was due to something on my part or not. The manufacturer weight limit for the 650 Maxx is stated as 275lbs, so I am well within that catagory. Also, with my particular treadmill, the belt (now I mean the one that you walk on) was originally centered, and then, after very little usage, started to move off to the right. I did not think much of it, most belts end up not being perfectly centered. As long as it was not in a position to damage itself, I decided to leave it alone. It MAY be that it was a little loose (the tightening screw is on the right side) which MIGHT have slightly decreased the tension on the drive belt thereby causing more wear than usual. Maybe. That is a pretty extreme possibility in my mind. It is much more probable that it is just a cheap belt. All I can say is, I have never had a treadmill with drive belt issues that had less than 100hrs run time on it (only in the past few months have I really started to use it). Everything else on it is still in great shape. Apparenly the real manufacturer is ICON Service (makers of famous Weider and NordicTrack products). I'm looking into a new belt now. Hopefully this next one will last longer. I'll buy two just in case.

I’ve had this treadmill for almost 2 months and I walk/run about 4 miles on it every day. I love it. While it’s not quite as quiet as I’d like, it’s not bad. It’s an exceptional home treadmill. The incline and speed shift very smoothly and the arm poles come in really handy – I’m glad I got a treadmill with that feature, I use the poles off and on while walking and can really feel the difference. The only drawbacks I’ve noticed so far are that first of all, while the fan is a real plus, it would be nice if there was a way to adjust it: it hits too high up. If I were over 6’ tall (I’m not, I’m more like 5’6”) and ran as far forward as possible I would probably get some air. As it is it goes way over my head, so I just turn my ceiling fan on full blast instead. I like that the cup holders are nice and deep, I can keep my water bottle in one and my cell phone and tv remote in the other without fear of anything falling out. The display is nice and bright (actually, a way to dim that down a bit might be nice) and easy to understand. Overall, the treadmill is easy to figure out the first time you use it. I do wish Walmart would offer ship-to-store with this treadmill like they do many others. The shipping weight (199 lbs.) is the same as some of the ship-to-store treadmills, so I don’t understand why they don’t offer that option. It was a pain to have to pay the extra shipping to have it delivered to my house but in the end I’m glad I made the extra investment. I don’t think I’d have been happy with a lesser model, especially since I intend to use it daily. I’m an average sized, middle-aged woman who is not very mechanically inclined, yet I assembled the treadmill myself in a little less than 2 hours – except for the very last step where you have to flip the treadmill over to tighten the bolts. No way was I going to get this baby to “flip over” on my own. I called my son, he came to the rescue and I was off and running in no time. I’ve been in the market for a treadmill for a very long time and I have to say I’m very happy with this purchase. I would recommend the Gold’s Gym 650 to anyone who wants a quality home treadmill. Oh, one last thing, assemble it where you’re going to use it – while it’s got wheels, you won’t be scooting it all around your house. It does fold up easily though, so you can get it out of the way while still keeping it handy.

I got this treadmill knowing that is would be too heavy to carry, so my son and I unloaded it from the truck to bring it in. Still, the treadmill and frame without the attachments is very heavy, since I'm a small woman. It was pretty simple to put together, only taking me a little over an hour. I have only been using it for 2 days, but prefer to use the manual settings, for now. I really like the incline settings, which give me a little more challenge without having to set my speed setting higher. Its so easy and uncomplicated to change your settings with just a touch on the panel. I plugged my ipod into it and the speaker on the treadmill sounds great. It does take up quite a bit of room, but I prefer to leave it down when not in use, rather than fold it up. So far I haven't had any problems with this treadmill, but time will tell. I did, though, buy the extented warranty, just in case.

I would love to say that this was a good treadmill, but I'll never know since it was so damaged from shipping that we had to process it as a return immediately. Instead of a flat box, it was in an "L" shape and the treadmill was scratched and dented. Completely unacceptable.

Do Not Buy A Gold's Gym Treadmill !!!

I purchased a Crosswalk 650 from Wal-Mart in 2008. Within about 7 months it was inoperable (belt was apparently skipping). They sent a tech out who basically told me he didn't know how to fix it. The warranty people at Icon Fitness (the company you contact for these issues), after I called several times trying to solve the problem, told me there was nothing more they could do because there was no other technician in the area to fix it.

I found a technician myself who had worked for Icon before, and they came out twice and finally got it running again. It was about a three months from the time it broke to the time it was fixed.

It ran about 4 months after that and now I am without a treadmill again. The same thing is happening and the extended warranty people said that Icon couldn't find any of the notes from the first time it broke. So, we are starting over again with this talking to warranty reps, sending of parts, and trying to find time to be at home for the tech.

I strongly recommend that buyers not purchase anything serviced by Icon fitness, Gold's Gym products included. I am out a lot of money and I have a useless piece of very heavy equipment in my home.

I just got this treadmill 2 days ago. Me and my husband assembled it and it did not work. We followed the instructions and did everything the manual required. Right now I don't know what to do. Can somebody please tell me what I can do with the power issues that I am having

I had been looking for a replacement for my old treadmill when I found this one. I love this treadmill! It has all the bells and whisltes that I need, and more than most at this price. Being able to work your upper body while working your lower body just seemed smart to me. I love the fact that it auto inclines. No more getting off the machine in the middle of a workout. The programmed personal trainer is not annoying, and some of the exercises even take place off of the treadmill. I was suprised by that. It has a fan with two speed and a hookup for audio devices. If you are not able to lift heavy objects you will want to get someone to help get it in your home. The box is not only heavy, but big. My dad and I got it into my house with the help of a dolly and put it on a blanket to slide it across the hardwood floor. It only took about an hour for us to set up, but we have experience at putting things together. The directions however, are not the best I have ever seen.
