The Weslo CrossWalk S 7.9 is an attempt at a feature rich treadmill for under $500 by Weslo. This machine offers a powered incline option, a larger treadbelt than other Weslo machines, and a slightly better motor warranty. Still, this machine falls short in the area of quality core construction. The rails are flimsy, the console is poorly lit, and the preset workouts offer little added bonus to any workout. Also the 2.5 is overrated and underpowered.

We’d recommend staying away from the CrossWalk S 7.9. As with most Icon and Weslo products this machine boasts a great sounding feature set for the price, but lacks the all-important quality and usability features found in other brands such as Smooth Fitness, Life Fitness, or Precor.
