Choosing between treadmills from different brands is hard enough but at times choosing between treadmills that are from the same manufacturer is even harder. A good example would be trying to choose between the Reebok T3.1 treadmill and the Reebok T3.2 Performance Treadmill. Both treadmills come highly recommended but at the end of the day, any user would only want one. If price is the most important thing then you would like to know that the T3.1 is the cheaper option. However, on matters such as the speed and incline, both treadmills are tied level at a maximum of 16 km/ and 12% respectively.

T3.1 Connection Fitness for £565.00
T3.2 from Sweatband.com for £649
The running areas of both treadmill’s measures 130 cm by 45 cm, which means that they both fall in the medium sized group. This means that you will get the same amount of comfortable running space from either machine without having to sacrifice too much space in your house. Running space is, however, not always the factor that will bring about the biggest difference when you are trying to decide between two similar treadmills, as you will see later in this review.
The 2.0 continuous horse power motor that powers both machines are quite powerful enough considering the speeds that both treadmill’s run at. The motor is also highly durable which ensures that you won’t be bothered by those untimely breakdowns. To add on to that, both motors also have a warranty that runs up to ten years. This means that to this point, both the Reebok T3.1 and Reebok T3.2 are still even. What then justifies the higher price tag of the latter treadmill? Keep reading!
The console is the place where the difference between the T3.1 and the T3.2 start to show. For starters, the Reebok T3.1 treadmill has a total of 27 different workout programs including manual, 1 HRC, quick start and 9 which can be programmed by the user to ensure that they get a more than substantial workout experience. The T3.1 however raises the bar even higher by having a total of 31 different workout programs that guarantee a variety of workout programs that will always feel new and refreshing. Its LCD is also equipped to show the time, distance, speed, theoretical calories that have been used and also the pulse.

Special features are also another thing that keeps the T3.2 well out of range of the T3.1. The Reebok T3.2 Performance Treadmill has a hand pulse grip just like the T3.1 but it also has a POLAR wireless receiver. The T3.2 also has the Swing Arm Suspension System which will ensure that you get an even better workout. If you are also quite serious on the interior design then it may help to know that the T3.2 will work much better in the looks department than the T3.1. So, while the T3.1 is not really an improvement in the performance of the Reebok T3.1 treadmill, it is definitely much better when it comes to the additional features, which will definitely help to bring a better performance out of you.
