Being using it for the past couple of months and this treadmill is great. It has 4 settings (2 to lose weight and 2 to train for long distance). I'm using it to lose weight and long and behold. Hard work does the trick. The treadmill sets the pase and you can adjustit as you need. It also inclines to make your workout really interesting to say the least, but at the end you will see the results as you work out. The ski motion of the bars also plays a big roll, you can start to warm up your shoulders and continue your workout after the cardio. The folding option makes a great space saver
