Product Summary

The Weslo Cadence G 5.9i treadmill is a budget-friendly, compact, and lightweight folding treadmill best suited for cardio newbies or those who plan to walk or jog. The G 5.9i is iFIT-enabled and comes with a 30-day free trial providing access to thousands of live and on-demand workouts that vary in length, style, and intensity. However, you will need a smart device to stream and connect to this treadmill to utilize iFIT treadmill workouts. When partaking in live workouts, take advantage of the auto-adjust technology for hands-free workouts.

Powered by a 2.25 CHP, the G 5.9i supports speeds up to 10 miles per hour. If you plan on running hard or long, this may not be the treadmill for you. Additionally, with only two levels of manual resistance, you will not be able to mimic outdoor running. There are six pre-programmed workout options for those who prefer more traditional treadmill workouts over iFIT or simply do not want to pay for a membership. 

The G 5.9i weighs only 118 pounds and stamps out a relatively small footprint of 64.5 inches long, 29 inches wide, and 55.5 inches tall. It also has a folding design so you can move it out of the way and store it vertically when not in use. With the smaller footprint comes a smaller running deck. Although the deck has comfort cell cushioning, it measures 50 inches long by 16 inches wide so may feel constricting to those with larger strides.

Summary
