The PremierFit T100
The PremierFit T100 treadmill is a budget level machine that provides good value for money. At this price range, it’s not going to be the best treadmill in the world but is more than good enough for light running and jogging. It does, however, come with a rather low user weight freehold of 90 kg, which means it will not be suitable for larger sized individuals.
It does offer many great features that you wouldn’t expect at this price. These include the 12 built-in exercise programs, plus 3 manual programs. Its built-in LCD display is easy to read and shows you how many calories you have burned, elapsed time, remaining time, your speed settings, and also the exercise program information.
Alternate between the high and low-intensity preset workout programs on the treadmill to plan your workouts to the desired intensity levels.
The industry recommended 4% fixed incline gives you a slight slope to run against and this is designed to help protect the joints while running.
The speed settings can be adjusted from 1 kph to 10kph which is the maximum speed of the T100.
The T100 is nice and simple to set up and comes with a detailed manual along with the necessary tools and parts

Reviewer –
The T100 treadmill is a fantastic option if you’re on a tight budget or don’t feel the need to spend thousands on a running machine. Even though this review is in 2020, the PremierFit T100 is not a brand new model and has been on the market for at least two years. But considering what the machine offers and the price, we feel like it is worthy of an up to date review.
PS: It is still doing well in the sales ranks for running machine while receiving plenty of positive reviews.
It is a treadmill that is geared towards the newcomer and includes many features, such as programmes, etc. for you to play around with as you get fit. The compact/ folding design makes it a good option if you’re tight for space around the home. Let’s dive in a little deeper!
What Features Does The T100 Include?
Designed to incorporate fitness and entertainment, the t100 comes with those little extras that allow you to have more fun. The 12 preset and its 3 customisable programmes make it simple to tailor your workout to your needs. It comes with speakers with aux in port, and an iPod holder, which means you can watch your fave shows or listen to your motivational music playlists as you walk, jog or run.
There’s a Display that clearly shows your setting and information, such as speed, distance, time, calories burned, and your heart rate. The handlebars incorporate two pulse sensors into the handlebars, which are common today, but no so much when the machine was released. The dashboard is simple to use, and this is where you will be choosing between the 12 programmes that come included, making it easy to add variety to your workouts. In the event of an emergency, the treadmill comes with a magnetic safety cord, as you would expect from most machines today. There are also 2 water bottle holders, which is a sign of the level of care the company put in when designing the T100.

Warranty
Every good treadmill should come with a warranty as it’s a sign of confidence from the manufacturer, and thankfully, the PremierFit T100 does. There’s even better new to put your doubts to rest. There is a lifetime warranty on the treadmills motor and up to 2 years for the frame and parts. Not too bad if I do say so myself!
Could Be Better!
There’s not much to complain about on the T100 treadmill. But there are a few things you may like to consider before going out and spending your money.
The incline feature on the treadmill is fixed, which means you cannot change the pitch higher or lower. The 4% incline is standard on a treadmill and should not be an issue for most people, but it’s certainly worth taking note, especially if you intend to increase your level of workout over time.
Some past reviewers have mentioned that the machine could be more stable while in operation.
Other notable remarks where: The running deck is a little narrow, and the instructions could be more concise.
I feel when buying a budget treadmill, we should set ourselves realistic expectations on what to expect, and I would be more surprised if a running machine in this price range didn’t come with a couple of minor flaws. Click here to view all of the past reviews left on Amazon!
