Premium Features, Made for Runners

The BowFlex T16 Treadmill was built specifically with runners in mind, and it's packed with premium features to keep you moving:

A spacious, comfortable running surface

This treadmill features a roomy 22” x 60” running area, giving you plenty of space to stride at any pace. Whether you're walking, jogging, or sprinting, the T16's Flex Zone cushioning system reduces the impact on your joints and gives you the support and stability you need for every workout, whether you're just trying to reach your step count for the day or challenging yourself with an endurance run.

Built to pick up the pace

The T16's MaxReact™ Drive System makes rapid changes to speed and incline faster than ever before, ideal for interval training.

With up to 15% motorized incline and a speed range of 0.5 to 12 MPH, you can customize your workouts based on specific goals, or simply match your energy level that day. Ease into a new routine with low-impact incline walks or push your limits with indoor hill training or faster tempo runs — all on the same machine.

Ultimate connectivity

With the T16, entertainment meets running. Featuring an immersive 16” touchscreen, instantly access entertainment like Netflix, Prime Video, and Spotify — or bring your phone or tablet to connect to popular fitness apps including JRNY, Peloton, and Zwift.

You can also pair your Apple Watch or Galaxy Watch to the T16 and keep your metrics in sync.

6 Ways to Use the BowFlex T16 Treadmill

Whether you want to run further, faster, or more consistently, the T16 offers the tools to help you level up. Mix up your running routine with these workouts:

• Steady state run: After a brief warm up, settle into a comfortable pace (a Zone 2 conversational effort) for 20-45 minutes — or longer, if you're feeling up to it.
• Incline walk: the incline walk is popular workout for a reason — it's low-impact cardio that can boost your leg strength. Set the incline on the T16 between 5% to 12% and walk briskly for 20-30 minutes.
• Interval training: After a brief warm up, turn up the speed and run fast for 1-2 minutes. Recover at a slow jog or walk for 1-2 minutes. Repeat for 20-30 minutes.
• Hill repeats: Set the incline on the treadmill to 6-10% and run for 1-2 minutes, then reduce the incline and jog or walk to recover. Repeat 4-8 times.
• Tempo run: After a brief warm up, run at a challenging pace (Zone 3 or Zone 4) for 10-20 minutes, followed by a slower cool down.
• Walk/run intervals: if you're just getting started with running, try this out: alternate walking for 2 minutes and running for 1 minute. As you get stronger, increase the length of your running intervals and decrease the walking intervals.
