After researching your item, receiving the exercise kit can sometimes be a bit anticlimactic, given that when you open the packaging you are faced with a daunting assembly process.
That’s the beauty of the BH Fitness Prisma M60 treadmill.
1. Open the packaging.
2. Decide where you want to place the treadmill and place it there.
3. Lift the console up into place.
4. Tighten the screws
5. Plug in the treadmill
6. Insert the security key
7. Turn on the machine and it is ready to go.
It’s that easy.
But this treadmill is not a toy. It’s a full-featured kit from a quality brand.
The Prisma M60 features a 2.25 HP continuous duty motor. I found it quiet all the way from 0 to 22 km / h, even with the incline set to the maximum 12%. The quick touch keys made these adjustments nice and easy too. Combine this power with ease of use and you have a treadmill suitable for the whole family.
Another thing I liked about the Prisma M60 was the size of the belt. BH Fitness calls it an XXL belt and I have to admit it’s quite large, measuring 126cm (50 “) x 55cm (22”). It is ideal for those who have not used a treadmill before, as are the handrail controls. that allow you to adjust speed and incline.
The belt itself has fantastic cushioning with BH PCS (progressive damping system) technology. To save you the science, the 8 elastomers provide the next level of cushioning compared to other treadmills in the price range. This takes care of your joints and is perfect for both preventing injuries and recovering from them.
I usually get on a treadmill, put on headphones, and run, but while reviewing this treadmill, I gave all the programs a spin as well.
The programs cover all the training goals that you will normally need, such as time and distance, but you can also have the option to create and store 3 custom courses. For total training control, there is the heart rate control program.
The console has a screen with 3 independent viewing windows. This made it easy to stay on the track during my test run and gave me all the details I would expect, including speed, distance, and incline. The pulse grip sensors provide a snapshot of your current heart rate, but to unlock the heart rate monitoring feature, you will need to have a compatible chest belt.
In addition to being easy to assemble, the Prisma M60 is very easy to fold. I had no problem lifting the platform or dropping it again. The smart design means that you can fold the treadmill to reclaim 50% of its floor space, too.
But only to get back to my original point of paying a fortune for a machine only to later have to build it being a hassle. This is nothing compared to spending your hard earned money on something, only to have it broken. Then you have all the fuss of call centers, engineers, etc. Well, this machine has a guarantee to rest. If something goes wrong with the treadmill, simply contact BH by phone or email and they will guarantee a 7-day repair.
Due to the build quality, large platform, and large number of programs, I would recommend this treadmill to
- Families with different goals and needs
- Club level runners
- People who want to invest in a machine that will adapt as their fitness develops.
In summary, I found the BH Fitness Prisma M60 treadmill to be comfortable and easy to use. I liked both the heart rate monitoring and the fact that it takes a few minutes to ride. I suggest you don’t just take my word for it, get on one and try it for yourself!
