"Hi, my name is Brent R. Moon. I live in Union Grove, Alabama. After a routine check-up with my physician I was told that my cholesterol level was too high! No real surprise to me. I am 5'11" tall and at the time I weighed 285 lbs., but not too long before that I had peaked at 301 lbs. I used my doctor's advice along with the fact that just the week before, the company I work for had purchased T9700HRT treadmills, an elliptical trainer and a fitness bike - all Vision Fitness equipment!

This was May 2003. Now in July 2004, I am holding my weight at 185 lbs. I have been back to my doctor for two check-ups since, every 6 months, and I have lowered my total Cholesterol from 225 to 147 and I have cut my triglycerides in half. My blood work analysis came back with everything being well within the prefered range. The great thing is I did it without any type of surgical procedures or assistance from any medications. I did it entirely with exercise and diet. 90% of my exercise has been on the T9700HRT treadmill by Vision Fitness. When I started it was all I could literally do to walk a mile in 30 minutes, now I am jogging 3.5 miles in 30 minutes on the treadmill. I have also started using a weight program for toning my muscles. But I still feel that I owe so much to the Vision Fitness T9700HRT. Your products are top of the line in my book. Also, I am researching the possibilies of becoming a certified personal fitness instructor. Vision Fitness has literally made a new man out of me!!! ... Thank you so much!"

“I became an amputee two years ago February 12, 2003. I hurt my right ankle 17 years ago, as a freshman in high school. It was a really bad break that went undetected for quite some time (they didn’t do MRIs back then like they do today…I wish they had!). I didn’t listen to my body. I kept playing sports hoping for a scholarship, even though I was in constant pain and my ankle was swollen and bruised. I had my first ankle reconstruction surgery in 1983 and subsequently had to have 17 others. I was the youngest person in the country to have had an ankle replacement, done from an ankle fusion. The replacement worked for almost a year until it cracked down both sides. My doctor wanted to do a bone graph, which meant six months in a non-weight bearing cast, only a 50% success rate, and possible amputation later if that didn’t work. I’m a mother of three young children, a wife and a teacher. I felt too much time in my life had been wasted on my leg. I was so blessed and yet I wasn’t happy because I was in so much pain all of the time. I didn’t like the person I had become, and I was tired of being a bystander in my family’s lives. So, after much research, I opted to have my leg amputated.

The best option for mobility with prosthetics was a below-the-knee amputation. It was one of the hardest decisions I have had to make. I stopped teaching Feb. 11, 2003, had the surgery the next day, and returned to my second grade class on April 11, 2003. Now, two years later, I’m still teaching school, I’m coaching my daughters’ little league, I’m an active participant in my families lives, I’m a runner, and I’m pain free! Make no mistake about it, I’m where I am today because of so many wonderful and supportive people.

The Vision Fitness treadmill was a Christmas gift my husband and I got for each other. Everyone at Leisure Fitness was great. I took my running leg there and tested all of the models. In a matter of two weeks, I started running for the first time on the Vision Fitness T9600HRT Comfort. I cried after only running ¼ of a mile, just because I never thought I would be able to run again. I’m now running between six and seven miles a week, and I feel great!

The treadmill is wonderful. I really can’t say enough positive things about it. I’m running pain free! Your company has a special place in my heart. Thanks for making such a great product.”

"After wearing out two moderate priced treadmills I was becoming really frustrated trying to find a product that would last at a price I could afford. I had been considering Life Fitness, True and Precor but these brands were very expensive for home use. Luckily I came upon a person who had just sold his fitness equipment business and retired. He had sold fitness equipment to colleges and gyms throughout the country. I told him my problem and the first thing he said was, "You should consider Vision Fitness products." He said for the money they are the best products on the market today.

I took his advice and bought a T9500HRT model and we love it. It has all the features we need and the durability was evident the first time I used it. Our machine is used daily. My wife and I use it for overall health and weight goals and my two daughters use it for sports conditioning on and off season. I even had two friends buy Vision Fitness treadmills after seeing and using mine. Vision Fitness is not one of the highly advertised names you hear but you do build a very good product loaded with features with a exceptional warranty. I would recommend Vision Fitness treadmills to anyone that wants durable, well built fitness equipment."

"We purchased the treadmill in late Feb. of this year. Since the first of Feb., my wife has lost 55 lbs.. The treadmill and a change of diet are the reasons. (I have lost 28 lbs.). She has become almost "obsessed" with the treadmill because of what it has done for her. In addition to the weight loss, she has "tightened up" her muscles and has received many compliments on her "new look". We are both very happy with the product."

"After hedging and hawing for a couple of months, searching the internet, and going to several fitness stores, I finally pulled the trigger and purchased a T9600HRT treadmill. I can not tell you how happy I am that I did. It has every feature you could possibly want, stability, easy to read console, quiet use, and so much more. But after years of running out on the pavement, the thing I most appreciate is the cushioning effect it has. My legs don't feel nearly as bad after a workout on the T9600, and with the HRT feature, I'm able to get a more effecient workout. I just love your treadmill, and would highly recommend it to anyone who is in the market for one. Get off the fence and do yourself a favor, buy the T9600!"

"I purchased my T9600HRT a year ago and have run over 500 miles and feel great after losing 50lbs. The various program functions create a tremendous amount of variety making it fun to use and encourages me to continue. The HRT function is truly a great benefit as it monitors the target heart rate that I set at the beginning of my session and maintains it by automatically adjusting height/speed. I now use the treadmill at least three times a week for 45 minutes a session. I appreciate the engineering in the product as by comparison to other models I tested it was among the quietest and smoothest treadmill with the most comfortable deck that could handle my stride, as I am 6’3 and 205lbs. I am very pleased with the unit and its performance and am confident that anyone purchasing this unit would feel the same. Having improved my stamina from using the treadmill, I have introduced resistance training into my program and now spend about 45 minutes after my treadmill workout exercising with weights. I just turned 54 years old this year and have never felt better. Thanks Vision Fitness for your great treadmill. "

"My new Vision Fitness treadmill is a replacement to my old Health Rider treadmill that I had grown quite attached to. I probably had over five thousand miles on that old machine and didn't want to have to replace it. However, much to my surprise, I much prefer my Vision Fitness T9200. The T9200 is more quiet, smooth, and more stable (console vibrates less). The console is at a better height and the grab bar more convenient. I also think the electronics are more heavy duty (e.g., the communication cables are not as flimsy) I had to replace the electronics twice on my old machine and it was the electronics that ultimately lead to its demise. One more item is that the T9200 does not interfere with TV or FM reception.

All-in-all, the T9200 is a great product - hope it lasts 10,000 miles"

"We received our new treadmill to replace the used ProForm we were using. I'm so happy with our new "health machine" that I am persuading my younger sister to buy a Vision Fitness as well! After searching the internet, lots of legwork through the sports retailers, and tests done by [popular consumer review publications], the T9350 was the best decision for our needs. Thank you for such a fine product."

“We were so happy with our Vision X6200 Elliptical that we recently purchased the T9350HRT Treadmill. We did research for both purchases and found that the Vision product was 'rock solid' in all aspects of engineering, internal components, programs, warranties, and value. It certainly made our decision easier in the second round.”

“I absolutely love my new treadmill! I purchased a T9350HRT* to replace a competitors treadmill which had become dangerous and more trouble than it was worth. Using your treadmill is an absolute joy! I have recommended your products to friends of mine who purchased both a treadmill and exercise bike. Thank you for your philosophy of building quality equipment with a focus on high calibre features a customer needs but without wasting money on unnecessary bells and whistles.”

"Great customer service! I have a T9200 that has worked well for several years. Unfortunately, a week after the warranty expired, the unit developed a problem. A phone call to your customer service department and the needed parts were shipped and covered under warranty. This is how a business should be run. I will soon be purchasing an elliptical, and Vision Fitness will be my first choice."

"I just bought the T9200 Deluxe treadmill. I shopped around and on the internet and local stores for about three weeks comparing all the different prices and models. I kept coming back to the T9200 for its value and best warranty. The other treadmills that I looked at did not compare to the T9200 at all. Anyone looking for a treadmill should just buy a Vision Fitness. It was easy to put together and use. Thanks Vision Fitness."

"My wife and I have owned our T9600 for only two weeks. We put 8 to 9 miles on it a day. It is rock solid, extremely quiet and surpasses our expectations. The salesman recommended this treadmill as we were initially considering a Landice. The Vision has a significant "bang for the buck" advantage and it is actually a more substantial treadmill frame. My wife has been running for more than twenty years. I have been running for nine years. We know a quality running machine and the Vision T9600 is it!."

"I purchased the T9600 about 2 months ago after spending weeks trying to find the right treadmill. I've had one of those treadmills purchased from the large retailer in the local mall. I'm a larger guy who needs to be on the treadmill; it's been the only effective way for me to lose weight. This unit feels just like the treadmills at the fitness club, no slipping and solid as a rock. I'm writing this because it sure feels good when you get your money's worth and I would recommend this treadmill to everyone, thank you
Vision Fitness. "

"I have owned the T9600 Treadmill since May 2002. I have lost 47 pounds since then. I love the fact that it's so easy to use. I only have to push a few buttons and my program does the rest. I haven't had any problems with this treadmill. I love it. I definately would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a new treadmill. It's been a life saver to me. I love the fact I don't have to drive some where to work out. I like working out in the privacy of my home. Thanks Vision Fitness for making such a great treadmill!"

"I purchased a Vision Fitness Treadmill in the fall of 2000. It still works perfectly, even after regular usage and four moves, including one across country. It is far and away the best investment I've made in my health and fitness. I love my treadmill (still!) and I love Vision Fitness."
