Yowza Boca Professional Grade Treadmill
Editor's Rating:
Overview
The Yowza Boca is a hi-tech, professional grade treadmill from the up and coming company. Built for runners, the machine has a large, powerful motor and an extra-long running track.
It is also one of the most technologically advanced machines in its class with smart technology like Motion Control, Intelligent Weight Management, myLiveLight, and FitSound Music Streaming.
UPDATE: It looks like Yowza Fitness may no longer be in business, as calls to their customer service line go unanswered and the company website has not been updated for many months. You may see a Boca treadmill for sale, but be careful as you may not be able to get replacement parts or any assistance if the machine breaks down or has any other mechanical issues that need attention.

Pros
Ideal for Heavy Running
Serious runners should be happy with the combination of a 3.5 HP motor and the extra-long 63” running track. The motor is also very quiet and durable.
Swing Arm Cushioning
Any treadmill built for heavy running should have a strong motor as well as a reliable cushioning system. The Boca scores highly in terms of both these aspects.
The patented Swing Arm shock absorption system allows the deck to move with every step you take, which lessens the strain on your knees, hips, and back considerably. The deck basically acts like a pro wrestling mat – the impact is absorbed across the entire surface of the deck, not just at the point of impact.
Motion Control
Quite possibly the most convenient way to control speed, the Motion Control technology allows you to speed up or slow down with a simple wave of your hand. You can wave your hand over the right handrail to increase the speed and the left handrail to decrease the speed. You can wave your hands over both handrails at the same time to stop the machine whenever you want.
Intelligent Weight Management
The Intelligent Weight Management (IWM) system is designed to simplify the process of managing your weight. The Yowza Boca treadmill has a Digital Weight Scale that calculates your ideal weight based on your Body Mass Index. It also creates personalized workout programs to help you achieve and maintain your ideal weight. All you have to do is step on the weighing scale before each workout to get a workout program tailored for your fitness needs.
MyLiveLight
MyLiveLight makes it very easy for you to track your calorie intake, weight, and fitness progress. The app stores all of your workout stats on the cloud and allows you to access the data using your mobile device. It works in tandem with the IWM system to create customized workout programs for you. It also allows you to share your results and achievements with your Facebook friends.
FitSound Music Streaming
The FitSound console with built-in Bluetooth speakers allows you to play music using your tablet or smartphone wirelessly.
