Product Overview
The P-TBT is part of the newest home fitness collection by Star Trac, designed to work on upper and lower body parts into the same workout routine.
It comes in a very stylish design that enables the user to step in from almost any angle, eliminating space-related problems. We found it very useful when it comes to set the equipment properly on a reduced room, fitting in with the rest of the furniture.
It also incorporates two Star Trac innovations. The first one, the Soft Track pedals providing shock absorbing movement. The second -a surprise-, a personal cooler fan that serves good and fresh air during the whole training set.
Star Trac has been developing personal use products like this one since 1974. Products, they say, that require little maintenance, and can firmly stand up under constant use.
The Star Trac Total Body Trainer comes with a wide display for message showing (presenting time, strides per minute, heart rate, course profile, resistance level, 1/4-mile motivational track display… and Scrolling: Calories, calories/hour, watts, distance, speed, METs) and offers a total of 8 preset programs ready to use for a quick and easy workout setup with up to 20 different levels of resistance.
This machine can be installed in multiple spaces: homes and home gyms, hotels, club gyms, buildings and company buildings, and regular gyms, and shipping is included in the cost of the purchase.

User Comments
“…it is a really solid machine that everyone who uses likes it. My advice is buy an adapter so you can plug it in.” (actual user, commented on www.startrack.com)
“…is because I enjoy using the StarTrac elliptical at the gym. I’m a big guy and running over a period of time really wears down my feet and legs. Also I don’t want to have to rely on the weather being nice to get the workout in…” (actual user, commented on johnstonefitness.com’s forum)
