LIVESTRONG Treadmill: The LS10.0T, Parts and Used Value

1. Is the LIVESTRONG Treadmill Still Sold? The Short Answer

No — not new in the US. LIVESTRONG treadmills were made by Johnson Health Tech under a licence that began in 2009, and Johnson no longer sells exercise equipment under the LIVESTRONG name. The LS10.0T, the mid-range model in the line, is now a used machine: there is no manufacturer stock, and any original warranty has long expired.

That does not make a LIVESTRONG treadmill a bad machine to own. Johnson's own owner's manual rates the LS10.0T for users up to 325 lb and gave it a lifetime frame and motor warranty when new, which tells you the company built it to a reasonable standard. And unusually for a discontinued treadmill, most of its parts are still listed: on 14 October 2026 a large US parts supplier showed 189 catalogued parts for the LS10.0T, of which only five were marked no longer available.

So the practical advice is straightforward. If you own an LS10.0T that runs well, keep it lubricated and keep using it. If it has a fault, identify the exact model version before buying anything, because there are four. If you are thinking of buying one used, pay a used-treadmill price, see it running first, and read ourused treadmill checklist. And if you are looking for a new machine in the same spirit, the closest thing is Johnson's own Horizon range, which we cover at the end.

2. Who Made LIVESTRONG Treadmills?

Johnson Health Tech North America, the US arm of the Taiwanese manufacturer Johnson Health Tech, made them under licence. Two trade reports from 2009 agree on the outline. Johnson received exclusive rights to use the LIVESTRONG name on consumer and commercial fitness equipment in the spring of 2009, under a multi-year agreement that committed a minimum of $4 million to the Lance Armstrong Foundation, the cancer charity behind the LIVESTRONG name. The first products were treadmills, ellipticals and an indoor cycle.

Where it was sold

Dick's Sporting Goods was the exclusive US retailer at launch, and the machines were in its stores by October 2009, with four treadmills in the first range. In Canada, Canadian Tire announced a premium LIVESTRONG range in January 2012, including an LSPro2 treadmill, again manufactured by Johnson. That is why you will find LIVESTRONG treadmills with Canadian part suffixes as well as US ones.

Why the name disappeared

We found no announcement of the licence ending, so we cannot give a date. What we can say is that independent review sites describe the line as discontinued: one that reviewed the ellipticals in 2012 already described models as soon to be unavailable in the US, and another states that Johnson no longer sells equipment under the LIVESTRONG name, with some models lingering in Canada for a time. The charity's founder, Lance Armstrong, was later stripped of his Tour de France titles in a doping scandal, but we have not found a source tying the end of the treadmill line to it, and it does not matter to an owner.

What it means today

The reason it is worth knowing who made them is that Johnson Health Tech still exists and still makes treadmills, under brands including Horizon, Matrix and, since it bought the brand in 2024, Bowflex. The LIVESTRONG machines share engineering habits and suppliers with Johnson's other products of the same era, which is part of why parts are still catalogued. It does not mean Johnson's current brands will service a LIVESTRONG treadmill under warranty. OurBowflex brand pagecovers that 2024 acquisition.

One more thing to separate out: LIVESTRONG.COM, the health and fitness website, is not a treadmill maker. The LS10.0T's online workout-journal feature was built to sync with it, which is why the two names appear together in old reviews, but the website has never supported the machine as a product.

3. The LIVESTRONG LS10.0T: What Is Confirmed

The LS10.0T sat in the middle of the US range, between the LS8.0T and the LS13.0T, with the LS15.0T above. Its owner's manual is copyright 2010, and the largest parts supplier files the main version as a 2011 model. Here is what we could confirm, and what we could not.

The warranty in the manual is worth reading closely. It covered the frame and the drive and elevation motors for life, for the original owner only, with three years on electronics and parts and one year on labour. The LS13.0T above it was rated for 350 lb, with five years on parts and two on labour. Because the lifetime cover was limited to the original owner, and because the brand has been withdrawn, a used buyer should treat an LS10.0T as having no warranty at all.

The console

The manual describes an LCD window showing time, distance, speed, calories, incline, laps and heart rate from grip sensors; dedicated speed and incline keys plus quick keys for jumping to a set value; an audio input with built-in speakers; a personal fan; an energy-saver standby mode; a USB port used for software updates; a safety key; and the LiveTrack fitness journal, which stored accumulated workout data. Treat the online side of LiveTrack as historical: we found no current support for it, and none of the basic functions depend on it.

Which version do you have?

Parts catalogues list four variants under the LS10.0T name, and the code that tells them apart is the TM number on the serial sticker: TM406 (the main US model), TM406B, TM438 (listed as LS10.T-02) and TM438C (listed as LS10.0T-C2, a Canadian version). The manual puts the serial number on a white barcode sticker near the power switch and cord. Photograph it before you order anything; some parts are shared across all four, others are not.

4. Can You Still Get LIVESTRONG LS10.0T Parts?

Yes, mostly — which is better news than most owners of discontinued treadmills get. FitnessRepairParts.com, a large US parts supplier, catalogues the LS10.0T (TM406) with exploded diagrams for the console masts, side rails, motor set and the rest of the unit.

What the catalogue showed on 14 October 2026

Of 189 catalogued parts, five were marked no longer available: the speed sensor, the incline motor, the keypad overlay, an optical disc and a washer. Two were on extended back order, including the drive motor. Everything else carried a price. Typical examples:

Prices are those shown on that date and will change. The pattern matters more than the numbers: wear parts are cheap and easy, the big electrical parts are available but expensive enough to make you think, and two of the parts that commonly fail on any treadmill — the speed sensor and the incline motor — are the ones that have run out.

When a part has gone

A missing speed sensor or incline motor is not automatically the end. A speed sensor is usually a simple magnetic pickup, and an independent technician may be able to fit a compatible one; ourspeed sensor guideexplains how they work and fail. A dead incline motor can sometimes be sourced used, or the machine can be run flat. Ourtreadmill repair guidecovers when a technician makes sense and what jobs typically cost.

5. Finding the LS10.0T Manual, and What It Tells You

Johnson's manuals for the LS10.0T survive on public manual archives. ManualsLib holds an 80-page owner's manual covering the LS10.0T and LS13.0T, a shorter console guide, a 122-page combined manual for the LS10.0T, LS13.0T and LS15.0T, and service manuals for the LS10.0T and the LS10.0T-02. The parts supplier above also lists a printed owner's manual as an orderable part.

The LUBE message

The service manual explains that the console shows a "LUBE" message after 150 miles (240 km), as a reminder that the deck needs lubricating. It is a maintenance prompt, not a fault. Lubricate with the type the manual specifies — the parts catalogue lists a Johnson lubricant for this model — and clear the reminder as the manual describes. Ourbelt lubrication guidegives the general method. Unplug the treadmill before you lift the belt or remove the motor hood, every time.

The E1 code

The same service manual says an E1 shown during the console's auto-calibration points to the speed sensor wire, which runs from the left of the frame near the front roller pulley to the motor control board. Check that the connector is seated and the wire is intact before assuming the sensor itself has failed — the sensor is one of the parts no longer listed, so ruling out the wire first is worth the effort.

The power supply

The owner's manual asks for a minimum 15-amp circuit. A treadmill that trips breakers or behaves erratically on a shared circuit or an extension lead is often fine on a circuit of its own; our guide toextension cords and dedicated circuitsexplains why.

6. Should You Buy a Used LIVESTRONG Treadmill?

It can be a reasonable buy for walking and jogging, if the price reflects its age and you see it running first. The LS10.0T was a mid-range machine from a serious manufacturer, it is rated for heavier users than many budget treadmills, and its parts are better catalogued than most. The risks are age and the specific parts that have run out.

What it is worth

We do not have resale data, so treat this as a rough estimate. One review site gives the LS10.0T's original price as about $999. A treadmill that is now well over a decade old, with no warranty, is worth what it will save you over a new machine in the next few years of use. As a rule of thumb, a working LS10.0T in good condition is a low-hundreds purchase, and less if the belt or deck is worn — a new walking belt and deck together cost over $250 in parts before any labour. Collection is part of the cost: it is a heavy folding treadmill, and moving it safely takes two people. Our guide tomoving a treadmillcovers how.

How to test one

• Read the serial sticker and note the TM number, then check the parts catalogue for that variant on your phone before you pay.
• Run it for at least ten minutes across its speed range. Listen for grinding, knocking or a rising whine, and watch for an E1 or other code on start-up.
• Take it through the whole incline range and back. The incline motor is no longer listed, so a slow or stalling incline is a real problem, not a minor one.
• Lift the belt edge and feel the deck. A dry, rough or worn deck adds load to the motor and controller.
• Check the console: all keys, the grip pulse sensors and the safety key. The keypad overlay is no longer available, so cracked or dead keys stay that way.
• Fold and unfold it, and check that the deck lowers smoothly and locks.

7. Repair or Replace an Old LIVESTRONG?

It depends on what has failed. The table gives our general view for the LS10.0T based on what the parts catalogue showed; it is editorial judgment, not a rule.

The rule we use for any old treadmill is to stop spending once a single repair approaches a large share of what a reliable modern replacement costs. On an LS10.0T, the controller and motor are the two parts that cross that line. Our guides tohow long treadmills lastand thetroubleshooting guidehelp you narrow down a fault before you pay anyone.

Safety and recalls

We searched the Consumer Product Safety Commission's recall database on 14 October 2026. It lists one LIVESTRONG recall, from January 2010, and it is for ellipticals, not treadmills: Johnson recalled about 18,000 Horizon and LIVESTRONG elliptical trainers, including the LIVESTRONG LS7.9E, LS9.9E and LS12.9E, because a foot pedal could disengage, and offered free in-home replacement of the pedals. We found no recall of a LIVESTRONG treadmill. That does not make an old machine safe by default: stop using any treadmill that smells of burning, trips a breaker, changes speed on its own or will not stop, and make sure the safety key still cuts the belt.

8. What Replaced the LIVESTRONG Treadmill?

No model was announced as the LS10.0T's successor, so there is no direct replacement to name. The nearest thing in spirit is Johnson Health Tech's own Horizon range: the same manufacturer, sold in the US now, with current warranties and parts support. Horizon's current folding machines sit at a similar point in the market to where the LIVESTRONG line did.

If what you liked about the LS10.0T was a sturdy folding treadmill rated for heavier users with a 12 mph top speed, the Horizon 7.0 AT is the closest match on this site: our roundup of thebest Horizon treadmillslists it with a 20 by 60-inch deck, 0.5 to 12 mph, incline to 15% and a 325 lb rating — a longer deck than the LS10.0T was reported to have, at the same confirmed user weight. Our page askingwhether Horizon is a good brandcovers its warranties and its 2022 recall of the T101-05, which was remedied.

Getting rid of the old one

A working LIVESTRONG can go to a buyer, a charity or a friend; a dead one is heavy scrap. Our guide todisposing of a treadmillcovers the options, from municipal bulk collection to retailer haul-away when you buy a replacement.
