A SportsArt treadmill can range from $2,499 to $3,099. There are 4 models in this price range and they will all be reviewed individually. But before we go on to the reviews, let’s begin with the … Company Background SportsArt Fitness has long been an industry leader in the design and manufacture of innovative, high quality fitness equipment for commercial and residential use. They have been manufacturing fitness equipment for over 20 years and have consistently raised the bar in the fitness industry. SportsArt Fitness is trying to establish itself as one of the most creative manufacturers of fitness equipment. SportsArt Fitness equipment is sold in over 70 countries worldwide. Great industrial design coupled once made these a high value proposition before they drastically raised prices. It looks like they are concentrating much harder on the commercial market which, along with the price increases, makes the home models somewhat less attractive. Strong Point SportsArt treadmills have great designs. These fitness equipment are of good quality, resilience, and it’s backed up by a solid warranty. Since this is a high end machine, we would not expect otherwise. As far as specs go, it has an excellent running space, strong motor and great stability. SportsArt treadmill frames are all welded, which hold the machine better together. Weak Point The main weak point in SportsArt treadmill is the value. The price is quite high. You can get a performing treadmill for a lower price. Expert Reviews Consumer Guide rated the SportsArt 1210 as recommended and the 3110 as best buy. TreadmillDoctor says: “They have been a stable company to our knowledge and have only been gaining strength.” Conclusion SportsArt treadmills are not for everyone.

Overall it is a good model. It is perhaps the best valued SportsArt treadmill. The SportsArt 1210 has welded frames, a good sized belt, and built in programs to keep you motivated. Take advantage of its heart rate control programs that keeps you in your target zone. Its only weakness is its warranty. For a treadmill with a $2,500 price tag, you would expect a longer motor and parts warranty. If your budget range is in the $2,500 area, we would suggest Pacemaster.

These exercise equipment do not differ much in terms of performance. They are all equipped with a 3.0 continuous duty motor, 20 x 58 inch belt, welded frames and similar features. The differences lie in the details such as built in programs, max speed and some features. As far as quality, resilience, and durability go, these machines are the same. This being said, we would suggest the 3106 for its lower price. Unless you will be running at speed clocking over 10 mile per hour, the 3106 will suffice.

As mentioned, if you need the extra speed, then by all means invest the additional $100. This 3108 SportsArt treadmill has another a solid treadmill. Its price is a little high and thus it has a lower value. If your budget is in the $3,000 range, look at Life Fitness and Precor.

We are a little puzzled by this rating since we would opt for the Precor or Life Fitness treadmills. The 3110 is quite pricey and there is no significant improvement on the 3106 treadmill. If you like this brand, then opt for the 3106 or the 1210 models. You will be getting a better value.
