In light of the recent accident that tragically took the life of Mike Tyson’s daughter, LifeSpan Fitness wants to reassure you that treadmills are still an excellent choice for home exercise equipment, and by following a few treadmill safety tips as outlined below treadmills are safe to operate in the comfort and convenience of your home.

Today, most treadmills include a detachable safety key which must be in proper position before the treadmill can operate.  LifeSpan Fitness takes treadmill safety a step further to make treadmills safe for home use.  A pioneer in treadmill safety, LifeSpan introduced Intelli-Guard™ automatic safety pause nearly two years ago and now includes this unique feature on nearly every LifeSpan treadmill model.  Intelli-Guard™ forces the treadmill belt to come to a stop when there are no feet consistently striking the treadmill belt after a set amount of time.  So if for some reason your LifeSpan treadmill is running and no one is actually using it to exercise, your treadmill will automatically pause, reducing the risk of injury to you and your children.  If you get distracted and fall while using your treadmill or suddenly leave your treadmill while it is still running, the treadmill belt will stop.
