Summary |
Bowflex is well known for developing and marketing home gyms, which use a resistance based approach rather than a plate based one, making them perfect for home use. That said, they’ve also launched a series of cardio based home fitness machines, as well as gym grade ones. The Bowflex TreadClimber TC5500 is one of their newer machines, and it was designed to provide users with a way to work their entire body, burn fat, and increase cardiovascular health. As its name suggests, the Bowflex TreadClimber TC5500 is more than a treadmill, offering features that provide users with a well rounded workout that can assist them with getting rid of thigh, butt, and stomach fat, while building endurance and stamina.

The Bowflex TreadClimber TC5500 comes with lots of features, including a G.O. Coach Console, which is actually interactive, so users can set their goals and monitor their progress, while also comparing results as they go with both themselves and other users too, due to the fact it can store and keep track of up to four users at a time. They can also pick from nine Challenge Landmark Workouts, including Lady Liberty, Space Needle, and TransAmerica Tower. Users actually start with these programs, and as they progress in their workout, they earn “points,” which are said to give them access to other landmark workouts, just like a video game.

Tipper3: DO they sell the BOWFLEX treadClimber TC5500 to the gyms? THought it was likre, the Precor machines and such that I’ve seen at mine, and Bowflex, for the home. Anyway I might figure out how to fund one of these, but also, probbly need an abs belt for the core stomach fat & muscles, like others have said. TH e FLEX belt, seems like oe of th more popular brands, did anyoene here use that?
GeorgeMC: Fit for live? Dream on buddy! You Jack Lalanne or somthing cuase thats the kind of dedication it atds and I ain’t got it, Bowflex Tread climber or not.

Polly: Using a machine would work but I like the gym for cardio – gives me energy to see other people working hard. at home an ab belt would work ideally for losing stomach fat, I believe ater reading reviews – this is the best chocie for me.
dean C: but seems like bowflex tread climber tc5500, is good for cardio, if not a stomach fat workout directly. still gotta do crunches or wear an abs belt or use an ab coaster, no matter what you dofor cardio.
JamesRose: How much time on the Bowflex Tread Climber TC5500 becuz my time is valuable and I might be better off with a ab shocker belt to get a good stomach fat workout??
Ken: Nothin is gonna work for stomach fat burning exrcsis like a good set of crunches, so keep that Bowflex Tread Climber TC5500 for pepes who are spoiled and lazy!
