This multi-award winning treadmill sets a new standard in ergonomics and technology. Never before has it been easier to simulate authentic training experiences such as downhill running, realistic hill climbs and high acceleration workouts while maintaining a natural runner’s feel.
Last Updated: 4/5/2018 Established in 1969, Bodyguard Fitness has focused on manufacturing both residential and commercial fitness equipment, starting with developing a rower. It wasn’t until the mid-90s that Bodyguard Fitness came out with their first treadmill. Since the development of that first piece of cardio equipment, Bodyguard Fitness has narrowed in on manufacturing treadmills.

The T-75 console features 2 designated white L.E.D.'s and a 6.5' blue L.C.D. with a 20 x 13 block profile surrounded by information windows showing the parameters of the exercise under way and a 16 character alphanumeric message center at the bottom of the screen that scrolls information during and after a workout.
It also includes a range of advanced user functions including customizable quick keys as well as a built-in wireless heart rate receiver that displays the pulse being transmitted from compatible 5kHz heart rate chest straps in range. (Note: chest strap not included)
The main keypad is conveniently located on the front handle bar for easier access and consists of seven keys made from durable silicone that will not crack over time. The console also includes a USB port for software upgrades and a convenient reading rack/device holder.
CONSOLE FEATURES
ALPHANUMERIC MESSAGE CENTER: Situated below the profile the 16-character alphanumeric message center shows menu information, workout parameters during and after a workout as well as maintenance and error data when necessary.
COOL DOWN KEY: Press this key to begin a cool-down period on compatible programs.
INCREASE/DECREASE INCLINE KEYS: Pressing these keys allows you to modify the angle of the walking belt during the exercise. If you continuously hold down a key, the incline display will gradually change (0.5% at a time). Release the key when you have selected your desired exercise incline. The incline of the treadmill will slowly change. On the display, the desired incline will flash until it has been attained. These keys also allow you to select the parameters prior to each exercise and act as scrolling keys in various menus.
INCREASE/DECREASE SPEED KEYS: Pressing these keys allows you to modify the speed of the walking belt during the exercise. If you continuously hold down a key, the speed display will gradually change (0.1 km/h or 0.1 mph at a time). Release the key when you have selected your desired exercise speed. The treadmill belt will slowly change to reach the speed you want. On the display, the desired speed will flash until it has been attained. These keys also allow you to select the programs and parameters prior to each exercise and act as scrolling keys in various menus.
iTEK KEY: This key has different functions depending on the operational stage of the equipment. When at the HOME SCREEN, press the iTEK key once to access the SETTINGS MENU. Press and hold the iTEK key for 3 seconds to access the DIAGNOSTICS MENU. When in a general menu, pressing the iTEK key acts as a Home Key and cancels all data and returns to the HOME SCREEN. During a workout, press the iTEK key to scroll through various equipment performance statistics.
JUSTGO (ENTER) KEY: This key has different functions depending on the operational stage of the equipment. When at the HOME SCREEN, press the green JUSTGO key to start a JustGo workout without inputting any parameters. Once the 3, 2, 1 workout countdown has begun, press the JUSTGO key to skip the countdown and begin the program. When using the menu system, press the JUSTGO (ENTER) key to select a menu and save data. During a workout, press the JUSTGO key to toggle the profile being display between speed & incline.
MAIN KEYPAD: The Main Keypad is a group of the most used operational keys. The keys on the Main Keypad are made of silicone, as it is a more durable material able to withstand heavy use.
PRESET SPEED KEYS - A & B: These keys are similar to the Quick Speed Keys in that they allow you to quickly change the walking belt speed. However, as opposed to the Quick Speed Keys, whose values cannot be changed, the Preset Speed Keys are customizable, allowing you to store any speed value (e.g. 3.6) and changing it anytime you like. This is especially interesting for users who wish to alternate between two preset speeds (such as in Manual Interval training) and eliminates the annoyance of having to hold down or repeatedly press the Increase/Decrease Speed buttons mid-exercise when trying to reach a target speed. To store a speed value to a Preset Speed Key, simply run the treadmill at the desired speed and then press and hold down the Preset Speed Keys for 1 second until you hear a beep. If a User ID is selected while completing this process, the value will be saved to that User ID to use the next time they log in. If there is no User ID selected, the values will be cleared from the memory after the workout ends.
PROFILE DISPLAY: During a workout, you can change the profile being displayed from a speed graphic profile (default) to an incline graphic profile by pressing the JUSTGO key. To have the speed and incline profiles alternate continuously, press and hold the JUSTGO key for 3 seconds when the workout parameters are scrolling in the alphanumeric screen (not when iTek stats are scrolling). To return to speed or incline mode, press the JUSTGO key one more time.
PROGRAM CATEGORY KEYS: These 3 keys allow you to quickly access the program category of your choice. From left to right the 1st button leads you to a series of Basic Programs; the 2nd leads you to the Cardio Programs (Programs that require a heart rate chest strap) and the 3rd key on the right leads you to Advanced Programs which include the Memory and Custom Programs. Once a program category key is pressed you will see the first program in that program category’s list and to scroll though the list you may press the same category key again or the INCREASE/DECREASE SPEED or INCLINE keys.
QUICK INCLINE KEYS: These keys allow you to quickly modify the incline of the platform during an exercise to a preset value without having to use the INCREASE/DECREASE INCLINE keys.
QUICK SPEED KEYS: These keys allow you to quickly modify the speed of the walking belt during an exercise without having to use the INCREASE/DECREASE SPEED keys. Once a quick speed button has been pressed the ENTER key must be pressed to confirm the selection.
READING RACK & DEVICE HOLDER: Designed to safely hold most magazines, small books and devices such as mobile phones, music players and tablets.
SAFETY KEY: The safety key must be inserted into the appropriate slot in the console for the treadmill to be functional. For security purposes, make sure to attach the safety key clip to your clothes prior to starting an exercise.
STATS KEY: Each User ID saves cumulative statistics to their personal data file. The STATS key allows the current User ID to view their total cumulative statistics from the HOME SCREEN. If no User ID has been selected the key will be inactive.
STOP (PAUSE) KEY: This key has different functions depending on the operational stage of the equipment. When using the menu system, press the STOP key to go back in the menu system or cancel a function. During a workout, press the red STOP key to bring the walking belt to a stop and place the program into a pause mode. Press the STOP key again during the PAUSE mode to end the current program and the treadmill will be reset.
USB PORT: The USB Port can be used for software updates and charging of compatible devices.
USER ID KEY: This key accesses the User ID menu from the HOME SCREEN. In the User ID menu you may select, create, edit or delete a User ID. You may scroll through the sub-menus by continually pressing the USER ID key or by pressing the USER ID key once and then by pressing one of the INCREASE/DECREASE SPEED keys followed by the ENTER key on your desired choice.

JUSTGO PROGRAM
The JustGo Program allows users to quickly start a workout by pressing only one key from the HOME SCREEN making it ideal for users who simply want to get on and go and make their own speed and incline changes as the workout progresses. The JustGo Program does not allow the user to input any parameters or workout goals so the program will just keep going until the user presses the STOP key or until the maximum time of 6 hours is up.
MANUAL (TIME GOAL) PROGRAM
The Manual (Time Goal) Program allows the user to select a predetermined amount of time they wish to workout for from 5 minutes to 6 hours. The JustGo and Manual programs are very similar in that the user controls both the speed and incline at all times. The difference is that in the Manual Program, users must select their exercise duration and the display will show the workout time remaining throughout the exercise.
CALORIE GOAL PROGRAM
The Calorie Goal Program allows the user to select a predetermined quantity of calories they wish to burn during the workout from 25 to 2000 calories. At any time during the program the speed and incline may be manually changed which will modify the length of time it will take to burn the target calories and achieve the goal. Also, manually modifying the speed or incline will change the entire profile for the remainder of the program. The program ends when the calorie goal is achieved.
DISTANCE GOAL PROGRAM
The Distance Goal Program allows the user to select a predetermined distance they wish to cover during their workout from 0.2 to 99 miles/km. At any time during the program the speed and incline may be manually changed which will modify the length of time it will take to achieve the goal.
INTERVAL PROGRAM
Interval Training has many benefits such as increasing the metabolism, which results in more calories being burned all day long, as well as increasing average exercise speed, making it a great way to increase average pace and improve race times. The Interval Program allows users to alternate their workout intensity between high-intensity “work” periods and preset low-intensity “rest” periods. The Interval Program has predetermined speed and incline percentages depending on the selected level of intensity. Users can change the level of intensity of the profile at any time by modifying the speed or incline and those changes will stay in effect for the remainder of the workout.
RANDOM PROGRAM
The Random Program is a time-based program that provides exercise variety. Each time this program is selected, a unique exercise experience is provided from a bank of over 4 billion pre-programmed workouts. The user must choose a RANDOM MODE they prefer during the program setup stage. Each mode effects how the computer creates the Random program.
SP = Speed is randomly set, incline stays constant
ICL = Incline is randomly set, speed stays constant
ISP = Both Speed and Incline are randomly set
WALK PROGRAM
The Walk Program is ideal for low intensity or rehabilitation workouts where the user or trainer wishes to ensure there are no intense training segments. During the Walk Program the speed cannot exceed 4.0 mph (6.4 km/h) and the maximum incline achievable is 6%. Users or trainers simply set the workout duration and then make any speed or incline changes manually during the workout.
The Walk program is very functional in facilities where a trainer or supervisor is concerned that an unsupervised exerciser may deliberately or accidently increase the speed or incline to unsafe levels (e.g. Rehabilitation clinics). As opposed to modifying the Speed or Incline Limits in the Settings Menu which affects all the programs, the Walk program offers a single program solution to safety concerns without affecting the other programs parameters.
SPEED RUN PROGRAM
The Speed Run Program is ideal for users who wish to complete varying pace work on a constant incline level. Only pre-programmed speed changes occur throughout the workout, however, the incline can be modified manually. By selecting a higher level, a higher speed range is completed. Changing the speed manually will change the speed profile for the remainder of the program.
HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAM
The Heart Rate Control Program allows a user to workout at the exact intensity level they desire by setting a predetermined heart rate level. This reduces the risk of overtraining, which can cause injuries, exhaustion or even burnout and under training, which can be ineffective and have the user seeing little to no results.
Once a Target Heart Rate value is selected the Heart Rate Mode must be established. The Heart Rate Mode is the way the treadmill will make adjustments during a workout in order to achieve the Target Heart Rate. There are 3 choices:
SP = Speed changes only, incline stays constant. Ideal for runners who do not want incline changes
ICL = Incline changes only, speed stays constant. Ideal for walkers who do not want to jog or run.
ISP = Both Speed and Incline can change. Ideal for users who want both speed and incline changes
NOTE – This program requires the user wearing a 5kHz wireless chest strap.
HEART RATE INTERVAL PROGRAM
The Heart Rate Interval Program combines the benefits of interval training with the accuracy of heart rate training. This combination makes the Heart Rate Interval Program one of the most effective ways to increase metabolism, burn fat, increase average pace and naturally produce human growth hormones. During the Heart Rate Interval Program the computer will automatically alternate between a Work Target Heart Rate (Work BPM) and a Rest Target Heart Rate (Rest BPM) set by the user. The Work BPM can be set between 70% & 90% of the user’s Maximum Heart Rate and the Rest BPM can be set between 50% & 69% of the user’s maximum heart rate. Once a target heart rate is reached the program maintains the user at that level for the duration of the interval time or rest time established during program setup before alternating to the other target.
As with the Heart Rate Control program the Heart Rate Mode must be established. The Heart Rate Mode is the way the treadmill will make adjustments during a workout in order to achieve the Target Heart Rate. There are 3 choices:
SP = Speed changes only, incline stays constant. Ideal for runners who do not want incline changes
ICL = Incline changes only, speed stays constant. Ideal for walkers who do not want to jog or run.
ISP = Both Speed and Incline can change. Ideal for users who want both speed and incline changes
NOTE – This program requires the user wearing a 5kHz wireless chest strap.
FITNESS TEST
The Fitness Test is a custom-made submaximal test designed to measure cardio-respiratory fitness. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 Max) is defined as the maximum volume of oxygen that can be taken up, distributed and used by the body during physical activity. Testing one’s VO2 Max allows users to evaluate their fitness level.
For the submaximal test, the user is challenged to reach 80% of their maximum heart rate through gradual increases in both speed and incline. Once the 80% maximum heart rate threshold is reached the treadmill will automatically stop and the computer will extrapolate the user’s VO2 Max based on the speed and incline levels achieved. In order to obtain a more accurate reading it is very important to carefully follow the instructions during the program.
NOTE – Users must wear a heart rate chest strap. Cardio-respiratory fitness is a combination of cardiovascular fitness and respiratory fitness. Always keep in mind that this test is submaximal, so the results are only to be used as a guide.
ADVANCED HILLS PROGRAM
The Advanced Hills Program is excellent for developing leg strength and endurance by allowing users to choose from a wide range of hill simulations at varying intensities. Users may choose up to 10 hills per program and select from an intensity range of 3% to 15%. The program is distance based and changes are made automatically to the incline profile whereas the speed profile stays constant. Users may change the speed or incline during the exercise if they find it too easy or too difficult. Manually modifying the speed changes will change the speed for the chosen segment. Changing the incline manually changes the program’s entire incline profile.
TRACK PROGRAM
The Track Program simulates training on a 1/4 mile-long (approx. 400 meters) Olympic running track. Users may select between one (1) and 99 laps while controlling the speed and incline from beginning to end as the program does not have a predetermined profile. The Track Program appears on-screen as an oval track showing the user’s progress around the circuit.
The Runner’s Interval Program has been designed for people who wish to simulate medium acceleration interval workouts. This type of training is excellent for improving average running pace and is a great calorie burner, however, it is recommended that users have a solid base fitness level before incorporating this program into their workout. The Runner’s Interval Program allows users to choose their own interval distance, number of interval repeats, running pace, recovery time and the desired recovery pace. In order to simulate natural interval training the treadmill belt will accelerate at approximately 0.75 mph per second (1.25 km/h per second), which is twice as quick as the standard setting.
TURBO TRAINING PROGRAM
NOTE – To have access to this program, it must first be activated in the SETTINGS Menu
The Turbo Training Program is identical to the Runner’s Interval Program except that it has been designed for track runners who wish to simulate high acceleration interval workouts. This type of training is excellent for increasing the metabolism, producing natural HGH and for maximizing calorie-burning results. Like the Runner’s Interval Program it is important that users have a solid base fitness level before incorporating this program into their workout. The Turbo Training Program allows users to choose their own interval distance, number of interval repeats, running pace, recovery time and the desired recovery pace. In order to simulate high acceleration interval training the treadmill belt will accelerate at approximately 1.5 mph per second (2.5 km/h per second), which is four times as quick as the standard setting.
WARNING – This program is designed for advanced runners and includes high-speed accelerations.
CUSTOM PROGRAMS
Custom Programs are workouts created by a user and saved via the SETTINGS MENU.
MEMORY PROGRAMS
Memory Programs are saved workout speed and incline profiles from previously completed workouts.

Bodyguard Treadmill Reviews
In just a dozen years, Bodyguard treadmills have come on strong, earning the highest praise in the industry for their quality construction and design.
Their approach to the business is something other makers should strive to emulate: Bodyguard limits the number of treadmill models they offer, currently three, and don’t have a weak entry in the line-up.
Procycle, the Canadian parent company of Bodyguard, even took a chance and came out with a couple of lower end, less expensive, Chinese imports but loaded with the same Bodyguard features.
The results are first rate. The full treadmill line ranges in price from $2,999 to $4,499, as they got rid of the lower priced options over the last couple of years.
Gorgeous Treadmills
Giving these treadmills Best Buy kudos just doesn’t seem like enough of an endorsement. These are well-designed, well-built, mighty machines worth every penny you pay for them. We don’t want to simply approve of them as much as we want to shout from the rooftops: Do not pass up Bodyguard treadmills!
Not only do they come with big motors with lifetime warranties, these treadmills have roomy running decks (from 60' to 63'), strong and stable frames, beautiful sand-colored finishes, and challenging workout programs to keep you training for hours.
Current residential models include the T-30, T-45 and T-75, all of which can be found on the official company site.
The Machines Adored By the Pros
Bodyguard clearly has one rival in its sights: Landice. They aim to beat their main competition in every category; from reliability, workmanship, cushioning, motor output, noise level, and treadmill components … to just about everything else. Do the pros think they’ve succeeded? Yes, in every way their reviews reflect how much they “heart” these machines.
What We Say: Just -- Wow!
We recommend the Bodyguard treadmills without reservations. They are absolutely equal to-- if not better than -- the highly-regarded Landice machines. Both makers have left behind most other manufacturers as they consistently try to out-do each other in terms of pricing and outstanding performance.
In the end, the consumer benefits no matter which treadmill model they choose.
