Life Fitness T3 Treadmill for Sale

Posted January 28, 2013

As we prepare to move from a house to a townhouse, I need to get rid of things that won’t fit in the new place. Unfortunately, my trusty training treadmill is one of those things.

We purchased this new from 2nd Wind shortly after moving to the current house (don’t have the exact date, but the owner’s manual is copyright 2001). I’m the only one that’s used it and I’m not sure how many total miles it has, but I really only ran in the winter (and never more than 10K at a time).

All parts are still original (motor, tread) and I never needed to have it serviced. It works great – ran 5 miles on it last night – and I’d be keeping it if I had room in the new place.

I think I paid around $2200 new and saw a similar one on Craigslist for $1100, but that seems high to me. I’d love to get enough to pay for some races this year, so anyone interested at $500? You’ll need a truck and some helpers to transport it from Eagan, Minnesota.

If you are interested (or have questions), please email me at dk@7minutemiles.com.

UPDATE: length – 76.5″, width – 32.5″, height – 55.5″, weight – 255 lbs

UPDATE 2: we have found a new home for it…
