3, The Kettler Atmos Pro Treadmill
Quick Overview:
- The 3rd and final Kettler Treadmill under this review is the Kettler Atmos Pro Treadmill which also has a sleek professional appearance and would be considered as good as any treadmill seen in your local gymnasium as it has the commercial grade motor which is superior to your domestic type treadmill motor – perfect for high mileage runners.
- This model is also quite large and comes in at 191cm L by 79cm W by 140cm H so you need to check first if you have enough room for it in your house. The additional features you get includes the MP3 connection, the built in loud speakers and the Bluetooth controlled entertainment system to keep you motivated to the highest levels as you work out and train.

- Commercial grade motor perfect for long distance running and has inverter technology allowing easier peak performances.
- The 16 point cushioning system to help reduce impaction on your joints and is incorporated throughout the entire running deck

- Again, the price is way too high for many people. This high performance treadmill is really only for the dedicated athletes who have significant disposable income available.
- Very heavy and difficult to move about and you need to be extremely careful not to damage your back when moving it.
- Size is again very large and will pose a problem for people who have smaller type living spaces.
