Woodway out, Precor in

I had really bad luck with my used Woodway Desmo and the company ended up taking it back and that was great. I was bummed that I ended up with a “lemon” considering everyone else is happy with their Woodway - be it used it new.

I now chose the path of least resistance and am getting a Precor TRM 835, V2 that is about 3 years old and just came from a YMCA lease.

That's too bad that the Woodway didn't work out. I always enjoyed running on them at the gym before getting my own treadmill. Just checked out the specs on that new-ish Precor - up to 16 mph sprints!! Looks like you can work on your 4-min mile pace. :)

I love the Precore 800 series and am looking at getting one myself for the home pain cave.

There are some okay deals on them used but s hipping seems to be outrageous, was the one that you found local?

I enjoy my very old commercial grade Precor. Heavy duty motor, incline, and speed

I just bought a used woodway 2 days ago partly based off your article. Do you mind sharing issues you ran into just as a heads up? Thanks

Mine kept making noises and ran slightly off track. I think it must have been dropped by someone.

All others are truly happy

Did they offer a replacement? That they would take it back was nice, but did they at least offer you a very steep discount on better or new unit?

They really made all kinds of offers, but I also at that time had just learned that I tore my meniscus and thus was not sure I wanted a $6000 or a $12,000 treadmill here collecting dust possibly.

I am seemingly the only one who ended up unhappy and it was nothing big, but one thing after the other. Everyone else appears very stoked with their Woodway mill.
