Branx Fitness Elite Runner Pro - HUGE 140 x 48cm Running Deck - 6.5HP Foldable Treadmill with Auto Incline - Bluetooth, LCD Screen & Speakers, 21km/h Max Speed, CERTIFIED 160kg Max Capacity.

I purchased this treadmill specifically as I wanted a fold up unit, to minimise floor space when I am not using it. The treadmill is very easy and quick to get in to position and to fold up again. In use it feels robust with a good range of speed and incline options.After about 18 months of use I had an error message appear. I reached out to BranX fitness. After short round of fault diagnosis they determined I needed a new part sending which was dispatched to me. On receiving it I was able to fit the part myself in about 15 minutes. I am now back up and running. When I connected BranX Fitness to ask a) what is the cost, b) do you want the old item back. The reply was no cost and no need to return the faulty part. Great service, quick diagnosis, followed up by a solution. Peter from BranX did offer to get on the phone to talk me through the swap over process, but it was straight forward enough that this was not necessary. Thanks!

Did a lot of research into buying a Running Machine... And this one by far is the closest you will get to the quality and spec of the ones you find in the gym.Fantastic quality, perfect length running belt for 5ft 8 upwards so you don't end up shortening your stride which would have impact on your technique and also joints, excellent inclines, haven't used the programmes yet as I'm currently recovering from surgery so unable to use it but my 14 year old son who the machine was bought for also is a sprinter, 5ft 8 and still growing hasn't touched on the programs yet but has been using it everyday since it was put together a week ago.... Perfect for his training and he is loving It! Great shock absorbing, haven't used the Bluetooth yet as he runs with ear buds, fan is not very powerful but it makes no difference what's so ever as he opens the window.... Good old fresh air! The belt runs smoothly, very quite apart from the sound of your foot coming down, easy to use.... And definitely my best purchase by far and worth every penny.He puts the incline to 1%-2% as my opinion only and what I've been adviced from other people is that it better mimics outdoor running and is also better for your knees.We lubricated the belt before 1st use as we were adviced by BRANXS as the changes in temp when being delivered causes the lubricant to dry out... Which it had.Customer service is the best I have ever experienced in my 44 years.... Helpful, thorough and informative through every step from purchase, packing, leaving them, delivery and aftercare support... Nothing is to much trouble for the team. 101% care from them at all times xExtremely excited and wait in great anticipation for their Rowing Machine that will be coming out shortly so I can purchase xThe Running machine is upstairs in our house... It took 2 fairly strong people to lift it up the stairs step by step and slide it along the hallway to the gym room... Yes it's heavy but it's definitely doable. It's extremely well packaged and comes 95% put together... It even came with a free gift also x I am the DIY lover in the house but due to me being in plaster non weight bearing my partner who bless his heart is absolutely NOT a DIY person was able to put it together...(unpackaged and put together in the room) Only a few screws... Very, very easy 30 min job and it's good to go 😊The only thing I can hear downstairs is my sons feet coming down on the belt and the beeping of the speed changes so all in all considering he is running above my head it's remarkably quite, more so when it is on the incline.I'm looking forward to going on it once I've recovered and decorating the room which is on hold till I'm mobile again 😊

After much research on treadmills within my budget I seemed to keep gravitating back to the Branx Elite Runner Pro.I read many of the glowing reviews posted by happy customers and couldn't find anything remotely like it competition wise for the same money and features.Firstly the customer service from Branx is exceptional. They keep you updated on progress of the delivery and follow up with courtesy contacts to see how things are going.I've had this treadmill for around 4 months and I've used it every other day since.My partner has also taken to it and uses it on alternate days.This is my first treadmill purchase and so far I'm over the moon with it.My initial concern was the apparent lack of incline ability as I'm used to 25% inclines at the commercial gym, but I have to say that the incline level on this machine is deceptive.I'm currently using it for jogging and fitness beep tests and do between 3 & 5k, incline fast pace walks which at the moment.gets me sweating buckets at only a 7% angle and 6.7kph.I'm not a massive distance runner but find 45-60 minutes on this machine offers much the same xcersion equivalent as any commercial treadmill 5 or 6 times more expensive.I only have 2 very small gripes with this machine. The first being lack of cooling fan and the second no hand grips which come in really useful when on steeper inclines.I've added a couple of straps to the upright metal posts which are rock solid and this helps stabilize you even on the max incline level. See attached images. Please note: I would not recommend fitting any straps or similar to the main dashboard as this is made of plastic and would likely sustain damage with prolonged use.Pros:Very sturdyEasy to assembleQuality/priceClear easy use controlsFolds up nice and compactOil filled damper for controlled deck decentNice long running deck.Great customer service.Relatively quiet.Cons:None of real note, other than lack of handles for incline training.
