Review of Juno Running Treadmill

Not everyone needs a folding treadmill. The Yowza Fitness Juno Running Treadmill is a non-folding treadmill by treadmill vendor Yowza Fitness.

Check out the specifications on the Juno Running Treadmill:

Running Deck Size

* 20 inches wide by 55 inches long. If you're tall and/or have a long gait, look for a 60 inch long running deck such as the Biscayne Treadmill by Yowza Fitness.
* The other consideration always when buying fitness equipment is how much space you have. We'd love to have a 60 or how about 80 inch running surface, but let's face it, most homes don't have 1,000 square feet dedicated to a home gym.
* If you have the space, determine the optimal running deck size for you by trying out some treadmills at retail stores. It's important you get enough running space that fits in your dedicated gym space.

Motor Power

* The Juno Running Treadmill has a 2.5 continuous duty motor. If you've been researching treadmills, then by now you probably realized that many treadmills come with a 3.0 horsepower motor.
* If you're a walker, speed walker, or hiker, then 2.5 hp will serve you just fine. If you're a demanding runner, then look for a 3.0 hp motor. Again, the Biscayne Treadmill, Yowza Fitness' premium treadmill, has a 3.0 hp motor.

Speed Range

* .5 to 10 miles per hour. This is a decent range for a value-priced treadmill. If you don't sprint or do serious interval training, this speed range will suit you fine. 10 miles per hour is doing a marathon in just over 2.5 hours.
* If you're running that pace, then you're a world-class runner. That said, sprinting and interval training is growing in popularity and if you can really motor, you might want something offering more speed. I caution you though that another treadmill may offer more speed in this price range (around $1,000) but you may compromise in motor or frame quality - both of which Yowza Fitness delivers.
* The console panel has single touch speed control - no navigating a computer to change the speed.

Frame

* Scratch-resistant powder-coated Unibody Steel. A strong frame is critical for a treadmill for obvious reasons. The frame holds the motor and running deck together. Running on a treadmill is a high-impact activity that continuously jolts the machine.
* How can you tell the quality of a frame? Largely by the frame warranty offered. Yowza offers a lifetime warranty on the June Running Treadmill frame.

Heart Rate Monitor

* The Juno Running Treadmill uses PolarTM heart rate technology. Better yet, this treadmill has two heart rate monitoring options - grip pulse and wireless heart rate receiver.
* For around $1,000 having a wireless heart rate receiver is outstanding. I love the wireless heart rate monitors because I don't like having to keep my hands on the pulse grips.
