Restore and boost your energy while sculpting your abs and legs with the TreadClimber TC10, Bowflex's most affordable powered TreadClimber.

The Bowflex dual treadle system.

The TC10 delivers an impressively low-impact workout that's easy on your joints. As a result, your "perceived exertion" is incredibly low. That means you'll burn more calories on a TreadClimber than you would with other cardio machines, but won't feel as tired when you're done. You'll get the effects--and the results--without feeling the fatigue. A University of Wisconsin study indicates that TreadClimber technology lets you burn up to 3.5 times the calories in the same amount of time as with other cardio machines.

The TC10 burns up to 3.5x more calories in the same amount of time as other cardio machines.

The secret to the TreadClimber TC10 is Bowflex's unique dual treadle system, which offers the benefits of three machines in one. In Action 1, the TC10 performs like a treadmill, with belts that move as you walk forward. In Action 2, the TC10 mimics a stair climber, with two independent treadles that move up and down. When you combine these actions, you get the third machine: an elliptical trainer that provides a smooth, low-impact motion. Cardio training on the TreadClimber TC10 not only helps you lose weight, but it also increases your energy level, improves your bone density, increases HDLs (the "good" cholesterol), reduces back pain, and makes you leaner.

The TreadClimber TC10 comes equipped with an easy-to-read display that monitors your speed, distance, time, and calories. The machine also offers a G.O. Coach console, which tracks the weekly progress of a single user toward a 90-minute goal (the target goal resets weekly). Other features include an instant Quick Start feature, an ergonomic console that provides easy access to water bottles and magazines, a speed range of 0.5 to 4 miles per hour, a rear step platform, transport wheels for easy mobility, and a Bowflex body weight loss plan.

The TreadClimber is also available in entry-level TC5 and top-end TC20 models.
