Shipping adds $6.99 to the $399.99 price. The 10% email/text signup coupon won’t work for this item.
This sells for $799.99 from WalMart, $799.99 from Amazon, and $899.99 from Modell’s
Sports Authority’s search engine pulls up 2 versions of this same model, 1 for $399 and 1 for $799:
DD reader Eli W writes in that the $799 version had a $125 shipping fee earlier this week while the $399 version has just a $6.99 shipping fee. He bought the $399 version on Sunday and already has his shipment tracking number.

Bought 1. Thank you.
Is this the type of deal where it’s worth to buy multiple to resell or the type to buy for personal use?
35 dollars tax for ny
dead?
its not such a going item on eBay so i guess its not worth to resell
@mark:
Ha. Didn’t realize I had 4 in my cart
I thought about that, but 2 things to considering.
– if all of a sudden they start receiving order of 10-20 treadmills, they will be MUCH more likely to renege on all the sales, even for the people buying 1 or 2
– Re shipping a large, heavy piece of equipment which you would need to store somewhere with EBay/Amazon reselling fees not to mention price cut to retail would probably make this not worthwhile for reselling.
amazon reviews basically say its a piece of junk.. parts break all the time…
Questionable reviews about pays coming broken and waiting months for service. Also about parts that keep breaking. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/review/B009R51TR2/R1WD3OIQZ6N7PV/ref=cm_cr_dp_aw_rvw?ie=UTF8
I’d suggest taking a look at the Amazon reviews before purchasing
Is this one of the better machines?
I bought stuff recently from them which was also “very cheap” & it shipped from the Returns department. Keep that in mind.
Hatzlocha!
This is an older model being phased out by proform.
Looks like an intentional clearance based on the fact that the more expensive search result will not load if clicked on and the cheaper price ends in .97
Sports authority’s search function is screwy. Sometimes a search will not result in a hit but a direct link to the prosaic works.
435 AFTER TAX?
Bought 1. Just read reviews in Amazon…not so impressive. But we used the Amex card, so if there is any problem, we should be able to return it or get Amex to cover it.
It’s a regular price drop the mor expensive one is so more a active listing it’s only a dummy the reviews on amazon on not very good
@lmao:
A 50% price difference isn’t regular.
Especially when no other retailers are even in the same ballpark.
Keep in mind the size of this item. The 14.0 is 79 inches long (over 6 1/2 feet). If you have a small house/apt, you might not have room for it.
Worked for me just now
@Zow: even Amex will have but back. But returning this item and u lying for shipping will cost you a fortune
just purchased, how bad can it be
You can get a on line gift card for Sports Authority from one of the gift card sites and save 10%-18% on top of the discount price,
@shmekle You’d be losing cc protection
Funny thing is, most people buy these things and rarely get on them after a few times of use. Just like those people that join gyms.
@Mike:
I use mine every day. Love it.
Dan, you have this model?
Dead
The 399.00 is not there anymore, only the $799.00
Too bad…Too good to believe…
Just Spoke with customer service and tried to cancel my order but said it is to late.
However you don’t have to ship it back you can just take it to any store and return it
check your order on the $399 elliptical.
Once the order goes thru they give you a different model
Days after placing order and receiving a confirmation of order, received email from store that order was cancelled due to system order.
@Michael: I just recieved the same thing. They did give me a $50 gift certificate.
I called them up and they are giving it to me at cost $500 +tax free shipping plus i got that $50 gift certificate.
Hi Mark.
who did you speak to about the 500.00?
@Mark: Who did you speak to about the 500?
@Dan: Do you have any suggestion on getting them to honor the price?
rec’d 2 emails today
1 saying order cancelled with $50 gift certificate
2nd 3 hours later saying shipped??, don’t have time to call today
Received email today telling me my order was cancelled after receiving two earlier order confirmation emails -would like to know how to get them to honor this sale price -any suggestions ?
Mark-who did you call and speak to ?
@Dan: Do you have any suggestions how to get them to honor the price?
Just had Elliptical machine delivered. Thanks Dan!!
I received a email 5 days after ordering it that they are canceling it and got credit but got it delivered today.
@lmfao I have a missed call from a trucking Company that they want to schedule a delivery. I have no clue what they want, I got a cancellation email from Sports Authority.
The truck driver told me that he delivered 11pc in boropark today
Same like lmfao but I got a different model, but it looks even better and it’s free
@sunny day what’s the model number?
Trucking company called me that they delivering tomorrow. I got cancellation email. Very strange.
I just got mine today. Can they charge me at a later date?
Thanks for the great deal!! 🙂
Weird – a Freemotion 510 was delivered.
Al@sygdet: also got a freemotion 510. What did you get?
I also got a freemotion 510. Is anybody buy the warranty ?
Did anyone get charged for the elliptical? HOW DOES this model compare to what we order?
Just received the Freemotion 510 model as well. Looked it up on sports authority they dont even sell this model. However, it was delivered from Icon health and fitness where the price is $4,999. Has anybody got in touch with sports authority about this?
Reviews for freemotion 510 are horrible. Did people actually get this for free?
Is it difficult to assemble? They offer a contracted company to do it for about 180.00. Any tips?
@sunny day, I also got the Freemotion 510. It took me 3 hours to build with my brother. It’s free so I don’t really care what the reviews are, but so far I am very happy with it.
Who said it’s free – I didn’t get charged either but I don’t feel right keeping it – did anyone contact the sports authority?
