How to Find the Best Treadmills

The treadmill is a great investment for your home. It lets you exercise at your own pace without worrying about the weather and the journey to the gym.

A high-quality treadmill is also a great method to monitor your fitness progress over time. A treadmill is a must-have for anyone training for a marathon or simply seeking to keep their fitness level.

1. Motor Vehicles

When looking for a treadmill, look for one that offers an impressive motor. If you plan to run more than 20 miles per week, or engage in high-intensity training, choose a machine that has an all-time motor of 3.0 horsepower. The deck should measure 60 inches long. If you're a beginner, or only want to walk or jog occasionally, consider an option with an engine that's between 1.75 and 2.5 horsepower.

Choose if you would like a smart treadmill with a touchscreen, virtual classes and an console or a basic model without a console. Some models even fold to make it easier to store.

For a smart treadmill with a sleek style and an impressive range of features, check out the Peloton Treadmill. It's a bit more expensive than our top pick but it offers an enjoyable running experience and an intuitive touchscreen. It also comes with numerous exercises on demand with live and virtual instructors. The controls for incline, which are located on the handrails, allow you to easily adjust the speed and inclines while exercising. The only cup holders on this treadmill are plastic and only hold water bottles.

The NordicTrack Commercial 2450 is another treadmill that is worth a look. It's a bit more affordable than the Peloton Treadmill, but it comes with a great set of features. With its iFit compatibility, you can access a variety virtual workouts designed by trainers from all over the world. The app is only accessible with a subscription, that costs $39 per month. The treadmill also comes with a large 22-inch touchscreen and a cushioned deck. It can reach the maximum speed of 12 mph, and comes with an incline adjustability range of between -3% and 15 percent for an exercise that is more challenging.

2. Design

Like any other piece of fitness equipment, the way a treadmill is constructed is crucial. If you're training for a hilly outdoor race it is recommended to choose the treadmill with the highest incline settings that replicate outdoor terrain. If you're interested in following classes, choose models with a large display and iFIT compatibility. This lets you access studio-style classes, virtual coach programmes, Explore the World scenic run, and off-treadmill exercises.

Other design factors that we take into consideration are the incline and speed controls that are responsive (on the handrails and the lower console) that can adjust to your commands without you having to touch the touchscreen, user-friendly buttons, and a slick interface. We also look at whether the treadmill folds and, if yes how long it will take to fold it. We also look at whether the treadmill must be assembled and if it is simple and easy to do so.

3. Technology

The technology used on treadmills makes a big difference in how easy they are to use and if they are prone to glitches. When evaluating a treadmill in this category, we consider touchscreens and intuitive controls. We also consider user-friendly interfaces, easy-to-use controls and other tech features. We also look at whether a treadmill is portable and can fold at the touch of a button. This might be important for those who move their machines around their home or have to fit them in tight spaces.

The Nordictrack 1250 Treadmill impressed us with its quick speed and incline control based on previous workouts, its long belt, comfortable cushioning, and iFIT integration, which provides access to studio style classes, virtual coaches and Explore the World scenic run options, in addition to exercises off-treadmill (though Bluetooth connectivity was sometimes problematic). Its 22" eye-catching, crisp touchscreen in color and iFIT compatibility made this a top treadmill.

Another high-scoring treadmill is the ProForm Carbon T10. With a 10" screen, it provides live streaming and on demand iFIT walking, running, and jogging video. We love that the speed and incline changes are simple to navigate through the touchscreen, as are the ergonomically-placed buttons that allow for quick adjustments and the iFIT integration which lets you stream workouts from Zwift and Hulu Max (subscriptions required). The only drawback is that it doesn't have an audio port or USB ports.

4. Comfort

The most efficient treadmills are ones that feel comfortable for the person who is using them. People with larger bodies and longer strides could be more concerned about the dimensions of the deck, as well as the amount of space it provides to walk or run. Others may be more concerned with ergonomic features such as well-placed controls for speed and incline. We also looked for extras that make it more enjoyable to use the machine, including front-facing speakers as well as an USB charging port, a tiny cooling fan, and plenty of storage options for your water bottle and other accessories.

We also looked at the storage capacity of each treadmill. Not everyone has enough space to store a full-sized treadmill. Fortunately, nearly all the models we tested fold up or come with support arms to minimize their footprint when not in use. We evaluated how easily they folded and put away, how quickly they set up and whether they were easily moved on solid surfaces.

If you're planning to run many of the hilly outdoor routes You should also take into consideration the highest incline of the treadmill. This is a crucial feature that will help you prepare for more challenging outdoor climbs by allowing you to simulate the ascent using the treadmill.

In terms of the technology on each treadmill, we looked for touchscreens that were responsive and easy to use during an exercise and have an user-friendly interface. We also considered the design of the treadmill and whether it was compatible with fitness apps that are made by third parties. This helped us determine whether each treadmill had enough features to justify the cost. A high-quality treadmill at home removes the barriers of weather or expensive gym memberships and can boost your motivation to get in shape.

5. Safety

A treadmill could be a danger to equipment if not operated properly. It's a large and heavy machine that has a belt that moves at speeds of 10 or 12 miles per hour. People who use treadmills for walking or running should not lean on the hand rails since this could cause a loss of balance and result in injuries. The risk of tripping can also be created by a cluttered area around the treadmill. Keep it clean and clutter-free throughout use and when storing it.

The most reliable treadmills come with safety features like an adjustable safety magnetic that is connected to the belt. The magnet will break off and stop the belt instantly in the event that a runner is unable to maintain balance. This feature could prevent serious injuries to runners as well as other people. This technology is usually used on treadmills in gyms. Home users should invest in one to lessen the risk of accidents that occur with home exercise equipment.

When using a treadmill at home, it's important to pay attention to the safety "beep" that goes off when the belt starts to move. Don't leap off until the belt has stopped. Many people make the mistake of stepping off the treadmill before the belt has stopped. This can cause serious injuries. Also, familiarize yourself with the location and use of the emergency shut-off switch.

After you've finished using the treadmill it's recommended that you unplug and shut off the treadmill. This will minimize the chance of unintentional use by visitors or children. It is also possible to keep it in a separate area with an open space above and around it to stop others from getting it in the wrong way.
