The Gold Elite VR ($2499 at PaceMaster) is a quality, functional and generous treadmill. Not to forget, aesthetic. With a powerful motor, a killer cushioning system, tons of workouts and accurate feedback, this unit sets the scene for your wildest runner’s dreams. It has a twin version that folds, the Fold-Up VR , equally awesome.
But when it comes down to cost, you may want to think twice before any purchase. Read on for a more detailed review of this model.

Workouts
First off, remember there are 4 users that can use this treadmill and they all have the ability to use the results from the last seven workouts.
There are 3 program options: Quick Start, Manual and Calorie Coach. You can choose from up to 9 levels of intensity for each of these programs: Thigh Shaper, Glute Toner, Waist Reducer, Hill Intervals, Speed Intervals and Mixed Intervals. For Heart Rate workouts, you can choose Heart Zone Monitor, Target HRC, Fat Burn Zone HRC, Cardio Zone and Interval HRC. There are 3 custom programs available and 4 Virtual Reality Courses: Lombard Street, Steeple Chase, Appalachian Trail and Summit Climb.
At the end, you get a Fitness Evaluation. It will be based on a structure from Very Poor to Superior.
When any cardio workout is done, you receive the HR performance review. This is a graphic representation of your heart rate throughout your workout. This graphic is displayed during the summary mode. But you must spend more than 10% of your total workout time in any zone to get this review.
