The BodyGuard T24P treadmill has a 2.75 HP motor with Palladium drive speeds from 0.5-10mph. It can also be inclined to up to 12% which is perfect for those who love to run uphill. These features give you the flexibility in your workouts.
The 20” 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 T240P treadmill also comes with 11 programs with 5 levels and 4 user 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 T240P 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 T240P 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:
Great treadmills

Weaknesses:
Not really a big difference in the T24 to pay an additional $500
