Bowflex 3 Series Owner's Manual page 8

later. Please try again later. B. Russell 5.0 out of 5 stars As everyone says, it is heavy but I figure if
its going to last, it has to be. I am not a runner and space is somewhat limited so I didnt think I
needed the longer treadmill, however if your stride is short as mine, I think itll work out great for
running also. I like the covered bottom of the treadmill. I have pets and I feel safe that they cant get
into harms way by getting in between the rollers. I really do like this treadmill. I am happy I got it.

Bowflex Series 3 as opposed to other models in the same price range and class. Some notes for
anyone considering the same purchase. I live in Maryland and had no problem receiving my
purchased. I was quoted 3 weeks and I got it in two weeks. EGL was very helpful and at least my
experience the staff was professional. Someone posted the number and address, which was also very
helpful in tracking my purchase. For those of you, who call to track, keep in mind that your purchase
is under your AMAZON name and address. It is better to use your tracking number when working
with EGL shipping. Staff members by the name of Lisa, Monte, Jabar I think where all very helpful.
My items arrive in Baltimore MD a week and a half after I order them. EGL was very flexible in
getting my treadmill to me. You must request a 2 man crew; and call back and verify that a two man
crew is in route or you may have to wait longer. Also if you want the treadmill in your basement
bring the delivery men around back; their policy is to the front door. Which ever door it is should not
matter, and really is none of their business. The treadmill is by and large extremely huge and close
to the size of an oversized couch. Now onto assembly details, my husband put it together for me. He
is 60 and pretty strong, it took him about 34 hours to put it together while watching Sunday night
football. A small power drill does help a great deal but is not required. You may need an extra set of
hands just to have someone hold the wires clear of the railing while you snap the top portion in. The
treadmill is strong and sturdy and my husband ran on it at a speed of 7.5 while I do my fast walking
at a speed of 2.7. I am 59 with a long stride so for folks out there looking for a machine able to
handle their height this is the one.
