  I placed an order (Order LS18380) on May 9, 2025 and the item was delivered May 15, 2025. On the day of delivery, I had an issue with the treadmill making a rattling noise. I contacted LifeSpan to troubleshoot and they finally sent a drive motor because they stated that this would resolve the issue. The technician serviced the treadmill on June 26, 2025. The technician tested it and it appeared the issue was resolved but after I used it, the issue continues in addition to more issues.This is the 2nd treadmill I've purchased from LifeSpan with issues. The first one (Order LS16697) was purchased on May 11, 2024 and delivered Jun 5, 2024. I initiated contact them on May 2, 2025 on the issue where the treadmill completely stopped working. A technician was sent and completed the service on June 3, 2025. I requested a refund for the treadmill placed in 2025 (Order LS18380). But LifeSpan denied me saying I needed to give them unwavering support in resolving the issue. I am extremely frustrated as the brand new treadmill is still not fixed and is defective. I've given them an opportunity to fix it, which they seemed confident that they would. All I want from them is to return the item (Order LS18380) with LifeSpan to assume all shipping costs, including the shipping company to pickup the return package, and a full refund to my original payment method. Considering how much trouble I've had with their products, I believe this is a reasonable request. I have email threads and videos of all issues, if needed.Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

  Good day,
  
      The customer bought a brand new TR5000B Pro treadmill. Upon initial use, the customer noted a consistent rattling or vibration noise coming from the motor housing of the new treadmill unit.
  
  To resolve the issue, a replacement drive motor has been sent, and a technician has been appointed to carry out the installation for the customer.
  
    The technician successfully replaced the drive motor, and it initially appeared that the issue was resolved. However, after the technician left, the customer reported that the same issue persisted and sent us a video showing the rattling sound when walking on it that is why the customer is asking for a refund.
  
  We offered a brand new replacement TR5000B Pro model but the customer doesn't want to.
  
     This issue has already been escalated, and we’re actively working on a resolution. The customer has been informed, and we’ll provide them with an update as soon as we have more information.
  
  Thank you.

  I purchased a Lifespan Omni Desk treadmill in June 2023 for the amount of $2859.13. In April of 2024 I contacted customer service about an issue I was having with the buttons on the console not working all of the time. I sent them a video and they concluded it must be the console and said they were going to send a replacement. It took several months to arrive. The console did not fix the issue and in fact does not even work with the desk - only with the treadmill. I contacted the company again and they informed me it is likely the desk MCB but they would need a technician to check it. At this point (October 2024) it is still under warranty for parts but not labor (ran out in June 2023) but they wont send the part without a technician inspecting it. The technicians they suggested quoted $250 - $800 to INSPECT it. Then another $250 - $800 to come back and INSTALL it. A new desk is much less than that. I originally contacted them about the issue BEFORE my full warranty ran out and I would like them to honor it and send me the part to fix, send me a replacement, or refund a prorated portion of the desk portion of the amount.(Treadmill and desk were $2849.00, treadmill is currently on website for $1999.00 so desk was $850 - minus 10% coupon and prorated amount for the time it actually worked - I feel $500 would be a fair amount to refund if they cannot repair or replace)

  02/19/2024, I ordered a TR1200-GlowUp Under Desk Treadmill from LifeSpan fitness for $1,540.46
  04/04/2024, I requested an update on the order
  04/05/2024, LifeSpan responded that the estimated ship date was 3rd week of May
  05/17/2024, LifeSpan emailed that there was a delay, no ETA provided
  06/29/2024, I emailed LifeSpan to request cancellation of the order
  07/04/2024, After several emails with LIfeSpan, I confirmed that I wanted the order cancelled
  07/04/2024, LifeSpan confirmed order cancellation
  07/29/2024, I emailed asking when refund would be issued
  07/30/2024, LifeSpan claimed "some updates and changes" were causing a delay
  08/27/2024, LifeSpan could still not provide an ETA for refund
  I checked BBB and see that LifeSpan has a stall tactic of claiming some "updates and changes" to delay repayment, so I am filing a complaint.

  I am rejecting this response because: The business did not refund my cancelled order. They claimed there was an issue with Paypal that was not allowing them to refund the order and instead they offered me a product instead of refunding my payment. Based on other BBB cases, this behavior appears to be a stall tactic pattern in-use at this company.

  On 4/1/24 I placed order SO64871 and paid for it. As of 4/22/24 I had not received the goods ordered. At that time I was told that it may be 3-4 months longer before I would receive the goods after being told they were ready to ship upon order originally. I asked for the order to be cancelled and the representative cancelled the order and said I would receive a refund. After numerous follow up over the past 4 months I have yet to receive a refund.

  I purchased a TR1200-Glow Up Under Desk Treadmill on February 2, 2024. When the treadmill still hadn't shipped on June 24, 2024, I canceled the order. On June 26th, the company told me they would issue a full refund that would processed and credited to my account in 7-10 business days. I contacted them again on July 11, 2024 since the refund had still not been processed. I would like for them to process my refund and credit my account as soon as possible.

  Could Lifespan Fitness give me a firm date on when the credit will be applied to my credit card?  They told me that they would be issuing a full refund within 7-10 business days on June 24, almost a month ago.  And since then, the only response I've got is they are checking with their Finance team without any firm commitments or action.  I'm tired of repeatedly asking about the refund and receiving only vague responses.  If they can't provide the refund by the end of the month, are they ***** to pay me interest until the refund is processed?

  I requested they give me a date that the refund will be processed and they failed to do that.  It doesn't take a month to process a refund.  They just keep giving me false assurances so I will stop asking for the refund that I"m rightfully entitled to.  Either their intention is to intentionally steal from me or their business is in financial difficulty and can't pay.  They also failed to provide a contact name because they the employees at the company don't want to be held responsible for defrauding customers.  Can't reiterate enough how horrible the customer service has been from this company.

  I purchased a treadmill on 10/27/2022 from this company. From the date of delivery I have had problems that required them to send parts as soon as 11/7/2022 to repair the machine. As of 6/2023 the machine was not functioning and they had sent 2 different repair men that each replaced or suggested the replacement of different items. After the second repair man came he determined that the treadmill would need to be replaced. The treadmill has been none functioning or intermittent functioning since 11/2022. On 10/5/2023 they agreed to send a new treadmill to replace the old one and it has never been sent. I have had to call or email the company every week since October to be told first that they were waiting for a shipment and second that they were preparing for shipment. The final call was 10/8/2023 when the manager told me she would call me personally in 24 hours to let me know status if shipment and provide a tracking # I have heard nothing. This treadmill has never worked properly since I purchased it and we are over a year later with no resolution. There has been times that it abruptly stops and I have fallen off it. I could have filed a complaint for damages from that but have not. I am not sure what else to do but try this route.

  Date: 12/14/2023

  The customer reached out to us on July 14, 2023. The treadmill has stopped working and will not turn at all. We asked for additional information, but the customer did not respond. On July 29, we received a response from the customer stating that the issue had not been resolved yet. We sent replacement parts, but the replacement parts sent did not resolve the issue as well. On August 11, we sent a replacement motor control board; on September 9, we sent a replacement belt, but the issue was not resolved. On October 14, we created an order for the replacement treadmill, but the unit was out of stock. The shipment from Taiwan arrived the first week of December, but we were unable to ship it to the customer due to the acquisition of the pallet that will be used in the shipment. We reached out to the customer and explained the situation, but she opted for a refund. The refund request for this customer has been sent to our accounting team. The customer should receive the refund once our accounting team processes the refund request. She should receive the refund anytime soon.

  I am rejecting this response because: I replied to the email letting Jean know that the card they are attempting to refund is no longer active. I called the credit card company today and they said they have not received any request for a credit but if they did due to the account being closed they would have to reject it as it is not a valid account. I asked for a check to be sent, or I can give them a new card to use or send the treadmill, many different options.

  I purchased a treadmill from this company around May 2023 - they sent me the incorrect treadmill. I contacted them and they arranged pickup for the incorrect treadmill and promised delivery of the correct one.
  
  Delivery for the correct one was under different circumstances than the first - the first one was taken to my door (this is a huge treadmill), the 2nd delivery wanted me to walk down the street to pick up the treadmill which I refused as it is a safety concern.
  
  I contacted the company again and they agreed to a refund, with the THREAT of a possible restocking fee. The restocking fee was never defined and CONSIDERING this is their own fault it felt absurd but I was willing to pay just be done with it.
  
  Unfortunately, they have continued to charge me monthly amounting to over $1k in charges over 7 months. Bad business practice, no accountability. Ridiculous to charge a customer for a mistake they themselves have made and I will sing to the skies for the rest of my life telling people not to use this service.

  I am writing to express my disappointment in the lack of response I have received from your company. I have been trying to contact you for the past month regarding a product I purchased from you on jan 8th 2023 that is defective and have yet to receive any response. I have sent photos and contacted ******** Tech who holds a warranty on the product. They responded Lifefitness is responsible.I am sure you understand that this is unacceptable, and I am requesting that you respond to me as soon as possible. If I do not receive a response from you within the next week, I will be forced to take further action, including filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau or a consumer protection agency in my area.I hope that you will take this matter seriously and respond to me as soon as possible.

  I submitted tech support request to the company on Nov 14 2022, at 02:41 AM and I received a response that same day at 10:03 PM. I had explained in my initial complaint that their apps were not working via Bluetooth with the device I had purchased. I have attached copies of the email I sent and their response. Since then my issue has not been resolved and I have called and left 2 voicemails and reached out via their website to get this issue resolved with no contact back since Nov 15 2022, at 10:23 PM which was the last email I sent the company with proof.
