3G Cardio Elite Runner X Treadmill - Commercial Grade - FreeSync FTMS Bluetooth Connectivity - 4.0 HP - Large Ortho Flex Shock Suspension System Deck - Marathon Training - 400 lb Capacity

I wanted to update my review after speaking directly with leadership, because while parts of my experience were frustrating, the way 3G handled it ultimately speaks volumes about the company. The 3G Cardio Elite Runner X Treadmill is an outstanding, commercial-grade machine. It is extremely well built and clearly designed for serious, long-term use. It is also exceptionally large and heavy, far more so than most residential treadmills. That size and weight make delivery a logistical challenge, not because of poor intent, but because this model is simply in a different class. My initial order was placed through Amazon. In hindsight, I should have verified exactly how Amazon would handle in-home delivery for a treadmill of this size. This unit does not arrive in smaller, manageable pieces, and buyers should confirm delivery details in advance if ordering through a third party. After that experience, I ordered directly from 3G to use their white-glove delivery option, which is absolutely the right approach for this specific model. While there were delays related to third-party logistics, I want to clearly state that 3G’s customer service and leadership were exceptional throughout. Communication was responsive, transparent, and solution-oriented, and they took ownership of the situation in a way that is increasingly rare. The most important takeaway for future buyers is this: • The Elite Runner X is massive and extremely heavy • If ordering through Amazon, confirm that they will bring it into your home • If ordering directly from 3G, use white-glove delivery • For smaller treadmills, this is likely a non-issue. This model is simply extraordinary in size and build. I have no hesitation recommending 3G as a company. They stand behind their products, they care deeply about their customers, and they demonstrated integrity and accountability when things became complicated. This is a premium treadmill from a company that takes its reputation seriously.

We bought the 3G Cardio Elite Treadmill from Amazon and so far absolutely love it! I have been a member at LifeTime Fitness for a long time and finally realized that I only use the treadmill. I decided I wanted to use a treadmill at home and wanted to stop wasting money on membership fees. The only brands of Treadmills I was familiar with was LifeFitness and Precor because that is what is available at my health club. I started by shopping around these two brands and was floored by the costs. To get an actual commercial treadmill would have been over $5000! As I researched this more, I came across the 3G Cardio brand. The Elite Runner Treadmill had the exact quality I wanted for a much better price. Now that I have been running on this treadmill I have to say that it actually feels better than what I used at the club. I have been extremely impressed so far and I certainly hope this continues. This treadmill weighs almost 400lbs, has an upgraded commercial “ortho” style belt and feels incredibly sturdy and stable. Although it is an expensive purchase, it was still far less than the other comparable models from Precor and LifeFitness. The main feature that I like is that it is very sturdy. The treadmill does not shake around and vibrate when I run on it. I like the handle bars too, they are at a very good angle and I don’t feel like I am too close to the electronics display. I also like that I can use an iPad and the audio speakers sound decent enough. I have used the heart rate monitor and it seems really accurate. I have made one custom program and that also works nicely. This treadmill has a Hi/Low fan which I don’t use because I have an overhead fan but it does have a bit of power and I can feel it on my face when I turn it on. This may be a good feature for someone who needs it. I am not a “techy” person but I do like the fact that I can plug my iPhone into the treadmill and talk hands-free. This is a nice feature even though again, I probably won’t use it too often. This treadmill has a 10 year parts warranty and a lifetime warranty on the motor and frame. I can also really notice the difference with the upgraded running belt on this machine. It is far softer than anything I have ran on before but it does not feel “mushy” like some of the cheaper treadmills at the department stores. I would highly suggest this treadmill to others. If someone is looking for a treadmill to last them a long time and something to feel like a gym treadmill, this is a very good buy. It is really heavy and big so that is something to keep in mind if you have a space consideration. There are smaller treadmills available but I am sure the quality would be much less too.

Solid, well made product, however I feel it is overpriced and the manual is amateurish at best. I would have expected a more professional manual for a treadmill at this price point, with that being said it is a good treadmill.
