Introduction
It began in 1975, when a team of electronics experts was approached
by the makers of the then revolutionary Lifecycle® product line. Hired
to create the primary components for their original computerized exercise
bicycle, this group discovered a market need for sophisticated exercise
equipment able to withstand the constant pounding of commercial use.
Thus was born Star Trac,
which then developed the very first treadmill designed for high intensity
use in fitness facilities around the world. Today, Star Trac is the world
leader in commercial treadmills, and also manufactures a full line of professional-use
stair climbers, and upright and recumbent bikes.
Star Trac developed home-use treadmills
when we discovered many of our products were being used in the homes
of serious workout enthusiasts.Our consumer treadmills share the same quality
construction and technology as our commercial product line, and incorporate
special features and software designed specifically for personal use. The
result is fitness equipment with a level of durability, comfort and performance
yet to be
achieved by any other company.

The most advanced home treadmill ever.
Long in demand by people serious about fitness, the
predecessor TR900 led the field for its extreme
comfort, ease of use and sophisticated
performance options. Voted "Best Buy" by several
leading consumer publications for the last two years
in a row, the TR901 design features the most
significant upgrades ever available in a home-usetreadmill.
The new TR901 treadmill is built around a 12-gauge
welded steel uniframe for excellent stability. Its
Impact Absorption System is derived from our
commercial product line and was rated Number One
against our major competitors in an independent
study. The deck is reversible to double its life
span. Both the deck and belt are rated for 6,000
miles. Advanced Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
technology enables our powerful 2 HP continuous
duty motor to draw less current. It also puts less
stress on electrical components and allows a
smooth, accurate full speed range, especially
at lower speeds.
The TR901 has been configured for quick, easy access to a huge variety
of
programming options. With its built-in Polartm heart rate control and
monitoring
systems, the TR901 measures the user's heart rate with a Polartm chest
strap.
During the Cardio Plus and Weight Loss programs, the treadmill acts
as a training
partner by continuously monitoring the users heart rate and adjusting
elevation (or
speed it elevation is set at 0%) to keep the users heart rate at a
desired level.
Workout data for up to five users can be accumulated and stored
automatically, and five user-customizable programs can be stored. A
number
of new performance programs include 5K and 10K race programs that range
from
beginner to serious runner levels, eight progressive hill programs;
and a varied profile program that provides more than 250 different workouts.
Finally, the TR901's 2-minute cool down period is a commercial treadmill
feature that enables the user to properly complete a workout by bringing
the belt to a gradual stop.
