Peak 098 Programmable Folding Treadmill

Features found in 098 to date have, never been found in other machines at this price point. A powerful motor, 0 - 15% electronic elevation plus superb styling make this a true leader in treadmills.

The unique deck suspension system ensures a comfortable, low impact workout, while the 6 standard and 3 user programmes guarantee motivation while exercising.

Safe and worry free training come from the Heart Rate Controlled programmes monitored via either the hand grip pulse sensors or the Polar Chest Strap (optional).

Plus this exceptional machine comes with Peak's unique Motion Control Sensors for easy and safe changing of speed. A common complaint by treadmill users is the off-balance experience of adjusting the speed. Peak has the ultimate solution. Through the new patented Motion Control you can control the speed of your treadmill without ever touching the machine. By waving or holding your hand over the hand rail sensors you can increase or decrease the speed. You can stop by holding both hands over the sensors simultaneously. A simple solution only found on Peak treadmills.

Users that have had a history of lower back pain, shin splints, or degenerative knees will benefit from this system since the Swing Arm™ technology lessens the impact on these areas of the body. Instead of the impact sending the shock through your body, something we call "force rebound", the impact is dispersed through the swing-arm, deck, and frame of the treadmill. This creates a smooth, fluid walk or run with greatly reduced impact.

Our Opinion:
The Peak 098 takes treadmills of this price onto a new level.  The features on the 098 would not be out of place in any fully commercial gym.  Wave your hands over the sensors to speed up, choose any of the many programmes for added motivation and fold it up knowing that if any little hands get to it, the soft drop feature will ensure they are safe from harm.

What You’ve Said:
“We have two children under five and were swayed by the gentle unfolding [Soft Drop].  If they were to unfold it we know the treadmill will not hurt them.  It is a great treadmill with plenty of features, plus I can use my Polar chest strap with it to monitor my pulse.”  Mrs Beckett, Leeds.
