Garage Gym Pro is a fitness equipment review and information website that is designed to help you make better decisions about your home garage gym purchases. But for now, we’re here to focus on the brand’s electric 2.5HP folding treadmill, so let’s jump right into the complete review. It also has its unique anti-shock system which makes it much safer to use and better running equipment available in the market. With its guaranteed protection and one-touch operation, the variety of users it can support is much wider than the typical treadmills.
Another benefit of this lightweight treadmill unit is that one person can assemble it. Besides, the MaxKare 2.5HP treadmill only weighs about 41.2 kg/ 91 lbs, so it’s not too heavy. However, it’s good to have another person close by to help you out for safety reasons. Plus, putting the machine on a protective rubber mat may be a great idea since it prevents wobbling during a workout.
This MaxKare model is one of the best affordable treadmills on the market for a home gym. As long as you don’t mind seeing a scratch from time to time and you’re OK with the absence of transportation wheels, then this fella is worth buying. The MaxKare 2.5 Costway Folding Treadmill HP is an entry level folding treadmill suited towards the lighter persuasion of h… Still, if you are only after a treadmill for walking or light workouts and warmups, this machine is an excellent alternative to their more powerful 2.5HP treadmill.
Its efficient operation and seamless integration gets the job done… and then some. Has a larger deck space to keep you more comfortable at higher speeds.

XTERRA TR150 Folding Treadmill – This treadmill by XTERRA is very similar in design and price to the MaxKare model, with a few minor differences. Although it has fewer preset programs – just 12 compared to MaxKare’s 15 – it has a higher weight support of 250 pounds and a higher maximum speed of 10MPH. All in all, it’s another great choice if you’re looking for a foldable, affordable treadmill. The MaxKare Electric Treadmill gives you the freedom to choose the workout intensity through its manually adjustable incline levels. For some physically active users, having full control and easy access to maximize the fitness benefits are what they are looking for in any exercise equipment.
Like other treadmills, your Costway Folding Treadmill will not start unless you put the safety key in position. The key is designed to cut the treadmill power in case of a fall. So, make sure you attach the treadmill safety key clip end to your clothing and check if it’s operational every 2 weeks.
First, it’s important to ensure that all parts are tightened firmly and follow the assembly instructions correctly. If the frame parts aren’t tightened properly, they’ll seem loose, making the treadmill generate irritating noises during use. Although they come at a cheap price, MaxKare treadmills are not worth it. It also has a one-year warranty on parts, cushioning, and labor.
Press the power button into the reset position and stand on the machine’s foot rails. Next, slide the clip linked to the safety key onto your clothes’ waistband, insert the key into the treadmill console and wait for the display to light up. Connect the console to the treadmill to get the equipment up and running. The MaxKare treadmill has 2 or 3 wires that connect the cable for speed and incline.
The soft drop system allows the running deck to self-lock when lifting it. On the contrary, touch the kick button when you wish to lower the deck, and the deck will softly lower itself using the hydraulics. Honestly, I’m not sure about the claimed support of 220 pounds of weight. If you’re over 200 pounds, then I personally suggest going with another model with a higher weight support.
More importantly, learning how to set up the MaxKare treadmill safely and correctly will help you get the best exercise possible. Next, connect the console cables and cautiously tuck wires in the console mast to avoid pinching or damaging them. At the same time, make sure the console cable ends are tightly seated on each other and the prongs are aligned. Slowly slide the water bottle holder into the hole in the treadmill console until they snap together.
