Burn up to 3.5 times the calories in the same amount of time as on other cardio machines with the Bowflex TreadClimber TC5.

The Bowflex dual treadle system.

Bowflex's entry-level TreadClimber, the TC5 delivers an impressively low-impact workout that's easy on your joints. As a result, your "perceived exertion" is incredibly low, so you won't feel as tired when you're done with your workout. From the beginning to the end of your workout, you'll enjoy the effects--and the results--of an intense workout without feeling the fatigue.

The TC5 burns up to 3.5x more calories in the same amount of time as other cardio machines.

The secret to the TreadClimber TC5 is Bowflex's unique dual treadle system, which offers the benefits of three machines in one. In Action 1, the TC5 performs like a treadmill, with belts that move as you walk forward. In Action 2, the TC5 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 TC5 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 TC5 comes equipped with a streamlined display that toggles your speed, distance, time, and calories, making it easy to track your workout progress. The machine also offers a Quick Start feature for instant workouts, along with an ergonomic console that provides easy access to water bottles and magazines. And green-minded consumers will appreciate the TreadClimber TC5's unique Step 'n' Go technology, which makes plugs and cords a thing of the past. All you do is walk and the TC5's console comes to life. Now you can enjoy an efficient calorie-burning workout in any room in the house. Other features include a 4.5 mph max readout speed, transport wheels for easy mobility, and a Bowflex body weight loss plan.

The TreadClimber is also available in the midrange TC10 and top-end TC20 models.
