The BodyGuard T240C treadmill has a 2.75 HP motor with Palladium drive speeds from 0.5-10mph. It can also be inclined to up to 15% which is perfect for those who love to run uphill. These features give you the flexibility in your workouts.
The LED mono colored central information window with a 12 digit scrolling screen shows you necessary information regarding your workout. While the silicone keys provide users a soft touch feel. You can also set to Spanish, French or English the language to be used.
The 22” x 57” Ortho tread belt is great for anyone that has a longer stride, and the BDS cushioning system helps reduce on joint impact and also minimizes lateral movement while at the same time increasing comfort for a healthier, longer run.
The BodyGuard T240 treadmill also comes with 11 programs. Also included is the JustGo button which is their quick start feature. It jump starts your workout without having to input your information.
Other features included on the T240C are the advance friction detection system (AFDS) which prevents overheating of the motor and shortage of the drive and the electronic stride control (ESC) which controls the speed of the machine to prevent it from suddenly changing pace especially when the treadmill is inclined.

In addition, the T240C boasts a lifetime warranty for its motor and frame, a 10 year warranty for its parts and wear and tear, and a 3 year labor warranty. These warranties are hard to beat especially since this is only a mid-priced treadmill. It simply shows how confident BodyGuard is with their product’s quality.

Strengths:
This treadmill has a built in heart monitor and 2 more programs than the T240

Weaknesses:
Lots of people do not care for the orthobelt. The t240 is $800 cheaper, and basically the same treadmill.
