LiveStrong LS13.0T Treadmill | Premium Home Cardio Equipment
We built the LS13.0T to bridge the gap between entry-level home equipment and commercial gym standards. This treadmill features a 3.0 continuous-duty horsepower motor that maintains consistent speed under load, whether you’re walking at recovery pace or pushing interval sprints. The 20-inch by 60-inch running surface accommodates full stride length for users up to 6’4″, while our proprietary FlexSelect cushioning system lets you adjust deck firmness to match your training goals.
Key specs & performance details
Motor & Performance Engineering
The 3.0 continuous horsepower motor at the heart of the livestrong ls13.0t treadmill uses a direct-drive system that eliminates belt slip under acceleration. We tested this motor through 10,000-hour duty cycles to verify it maintains torque consistency whether you’re at 3 mph recovery walks or 11 mph tempo runs. The motor controller samples speed 100 times per second, making micro-adjustments that keep the belt smooth even when you transition from walking to running mid-workout.
Running Deck & Cushioning Technology
Belt & Deck Construction
We use a two-ply commercial-grade belt on the LS13.0T, with a textured top layer that provides grip without excessive friction. The deck itself is a 5/8-inch phenolic resin board pre-lubricated with a silicone coating that reduces maintenance intervals. You’ll only need to check lubrication every 150 hours of use, compared to monthly schedules on many competitor models.

Common Questions About the LS13.0T
The LS13.0T supports users up to 300 pounds. The frame, motor, and deck are engineered to maintain stability and performance across this full weight range. We tested the cushioning system with users at maximum capacity to ensure impact absorption remains consistent regardless of body weight.
When folded upright, the LS13.0T measures 39 inches long by 35 inches wide by 57 inches tall. The hydraulic-assist system holds the deck securely in the vertical position, and the base footprint shrinks by more than half compared to the running configuration. You’ll need a ceiling height of at least 60 inches to accommodate the folded unit comfortably.
No special wiring is needed. The LS13.0T runs on standard 120-volt household current and draws a maximum of 15 amps. We recommend plugging directly into a wall outlet rather than using an extension cord, and avoid sharing the circuit with other high-draw appliances like space heaters or window air conditioners during use.
The FlexSelect cushioning lever must be adjusted when the belt is stopped. Changing firmness settings while running could cause sudden deck-height changes and affect your stride. Most users set their preferred cushioning at the start of each workout based on the day’s training goal—firm for speed work, cushioned for recovery or longer distance runs.
We provide a lifetime warranty on the frame and motor, five years on electrical components and deck, two years on labor, and one year on wear items like the belt and roller bearings. The warranty requires registration within 30 days of delivery and covers manufacturing defects under normal home use conditions. Commercial or rental use voids the warranty.
The motor produces approximately 65 decibels at 6 mph, comparable to normal conversation volume. At maximum 12 mph speed, noise levels reach about 72 decibels—quieter than a vacuum cleaner. The direct-drive system eliminates the high-pitched whine common in belt-drive motors, and the deck cushioning reduces impact sounds that transfer through floors.
The LS13.0T console does not have Bluetooth connectivity or app integration. It functions as a standalone unit with onboard workout programs and manual controls. If you want to use third-party apps, you would need to run them independently on a tablet or phone placed on the accessory shelf and manually match the treadmill speed and incline to the app’s instructions.
