What We Don’t Like:

Unfriendly display-screen: the display screen found on the Gold’s Gym Trainer 720 treadmill is abit smaller and even difficult to read because it very narrow. In fact, it only shows basic workout readout like time, distance and calories-burned and it doesn’t even look attractive.
Smaller running-area: the treadbelt of this treadmill features a smaller running-area which is not great for taller-people, sprint-runners and even people who want more space while having a workout.

Our Verdict:

The Gold’s Gym Trainer 720 is a sturdy and solid piece of fitness-equipment that is equipped with most basic features in order to enable the user achieve a more efficient and effective workout. In fact, the console of this treadmill only features basic workout necessities and lacks some advanced-features but you can still use it to achieve an awesome workout experience. Additionally, the running-are of this treadmill is a bit smaller compared to other treadmills in its range and this means that taller people may find trouble using this treadmill.
