For those not familiar with the fitness industry, Cybex is a company that was originally formed back in the 1970's as Trotter, but the company merged with Cybex in the late 1990's to become Cybex International. In the past decade Cybex treadmills have gained a lot of respect and attention from the fitness community.

First and foremost to note about Cybex treadmills is their price point. These are not inexpensive treadmills as compared to ones you may see in your local sports stores. Quality is the main focus of building these treadmills and like everything else, when quality is the main objective, price often ends up at a higher point.

While some customers will automatically shy away from a Cybex because of their premium price, this should not be the case for all customers. If your budget can support it, a Cybex treadmill will be worth the money and many fitness facilities use Cybex treadmills, which speaks volumes. These are not treadmills that you will use for a year or two before it's broken, but a treadmill that could easily last a decade or more, even when used on a daily basis.

Between all Cybex treadmills the Cybex LCX 425 T is perhaps one of the best when looked at from a value standpoint. It's made specifically for home use with a powerful 3hp motor and a handy holders for your magazines and water bottle. A heart rate monitor is of course standard as well.

Overall, these solid treadmills, though on the expensive side, will provide you with many years of use. We all know that our health is our most important asset so spending a little more to buy an item that will help us to maintain our bodies certainly makes complete sense for those with the means to pay for it.
