Both the Schwinn 830 and 810 Treadmills feature a generous sized running belt, measuring 20” wide by 55” long, and utilize a Softrack cushioning system that helps to reduce the impact on your joints for a more comfortable workout.

The belt itself on both treadmills is 1 ply, 1.5mm thick but the cushioning differs between the two treadmills with the Schwinn 830 utilizing extra cushioning of 4-cell design compared to the 3-cell design of the Schwinn 810.  Both treadmill belts run super smoothly with the Schwinn 830 utilizing 2.5” crowned rollers while the Schwinn 810 utilizes 2” rollers.

Both the Schwinn 830 and Schwinn 810 Treadmills come with an easy-to-use console featuring an easy-on-the-eyes blue backlit LCD screen that tracks and displays motivating workout stats such as time, speed, distance, pace, laps, calories and heart-rate.  The Schwinn 830 allows for 2 more user profiles than the 810 (4 user profiles on the 830, 2 on the 810), so more people in your household can use the treadmill and keep track of their individual workout stats.

Both consoles feature a great range of built-in workout programs although the Schwinn 830 has more built-in programs at 22 compared to the Schwinn 810’s 16 built-in programs.  Program variety includes Training, Weight, Heart-health, Quick-goal, Intervals, Custom and Manual control.
