Bodyguard T240S
Editor's Rating:
Overview
The T240S treadmill is the basic residential sports unit from Bodyguard that packages commercial performance but also a limited range of features. For $2,400, many reviewers consider this machine overpriced. In our opinion, the price is indeed a little too high to stay in competition with cheaper brands. Still, we don’t forget that Bodyguard has a reputation for building strong machines that last for a long time.
