Trimline Treadmills Reviewed. Trimline treadmills are relatively new on the scene. With the first machine rolling off the assembly line in 1994, Trimline have continued to expand and improve their treadmill range. Ranging from around $1500 to $2500, Trimline treadmills.
You will like the Trimline T360 treadmill if you are just starting to exercise and finding how easily you can get your daily dose of cardio.
While we can’t fault the outstanding warranty, the powerful motor, or the cushy deck, the appearance of the T360 isn’t going to attract the hard core treadmill enthusiast. It does come with a heart rate monitor and roomy running area, but the features are just basic. But is the Trimline T360 really the better investment when compared to other treadmill brands?

The Buzz
UPDATE: Trimline treadmills are no longer being produced. Check out our Best Treadmills $1000-$2000 section to find a comparable model.
The simple design of the Trimline T360 treadmill looks almost retro, but not in a good way. It reminds you of the treadmills you saw at the gym — 15 years ago.
You can’t dog the motor on these Trimline treadmills for reliability but, overall, better value can be found elsewhere. The T360 is okay for daily walkers; it should not be considered for use by serious runners.
Most users don’t mind the plainness of the Trimline T360’s design, but they do mind that the motor housing is too close to the running area directly under the control console.
If you tend to hit the front of your shoes on the plastic shroud just above the deck this could be a problem. You want the plastic housing for the treadmill motor to be well out of kicking range as you run or if you tend to take long strides while walking.
What We Say
Standing behind their Trimline treadmills with a 30 year warranty, the company is proud of their motor design and believes it will give you reliable performance year after year.
But while this seems like a promising model as a mid-priced machine, it has the same niggly economy look as less expensive Trimlines.
The Trimline T360 treadmill is overpriced if you have to pay more than $2000, but could be considered a good choice if you are a casual walker purchasing your first treadmill.

What We Like
- Stability: Trimline treadmills have sturdy decks and high weight capacities.
What We Don’t Like
- Warranties: Since warranties are non-transferable, people who purchase used Trimlines are gambling that the machines will require little servicing.
- Lack of extras: For the price of a used Trimline, a customer could most likely find a new or used treadmill that has speakers, advanced workout programs, and other features that make treadmill use more enjoyable.
- Motors: The motors on most Trimline models have just 2.0 HP capacity. An exception is the 3.0 HP motor on the Trimline 7800, which was sold with a confidence-instilling 30-year warranty.
- Track sizes: A number of Trimline treadmills have small walking areas. The 1620, for instance, has just a 55” x 17.5” area, which is shorter and narrower than the tracks of most other treadmills we’ve seen.
Our Verdict
It’s not easy to advise customers to purchase a discontinued brand. Trimline treadmills do not get exceptional reviews, so there is little incentive to purchase them when good-quality machines with warranties are available.
