How to Find the Best Treadmills

The treadmill is a fantastic investment for your home. It allows you to work out on your schedule and not worry about the weather or the commute 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 just seeking to keep their fitness level.

1. Motor Vehicles

Look for a treadmill with powerful motors when shopping. If you plan on logging more than 20 miles per week, and doing intense interval training, opt for an option that comes with an uninterrupted 3.0 horsepower motor with a deck that's 60 inches long. If you are a beginner or just want to walk or jog at times, think about a model with an engine that's between 1.75 and 2.5 horsepower.

Decide if you want an ultra-modern treadmill that comes with a touchscreen, virtual classes and a console, or a simple model without one. Certain models fold to make it easier to store.

For a smart treadmill with a sleek appearance and a plethora of features, look into the Peloton Treadmill. It's more expensive than our top pick but it offers an enjoyable running experience and a user-friendly touchscreen. It also has an extensive selection of exercises on demand with virtual and live instructors. The incline controls are placed on the handrails. The quick dials allow you to adjust speeds and inclines while exercising. Unfortunately, the only cup holders are plastic and can only hold water bottles. There's no fan on this treadmill.

Another treadmill to consider is the NordicTrack Commercial 2450. It's a bit less expensive than the Peloton Treadmill, but it offers a number of features. Its iFit integration allows users to access a range of workouts in virtual form from trainers across the globe. The app is only available with a subscription, that costs $39 per month. The treadmill also comes with a huge 22-inch touchscreen and a cushioned deck. It has the maximum speed of 12 mph and has an incline adjustability range of -3% to 15% for an intense workout.

2. Design

As with all fitness equipment, the way in which a treadmill is designed matters. If you are training for an outdoor race that is a bit hilly you should choose a treadmill that has maximum incline settings. If you like to follow the workout class, choose models with a big screen and iFIT compatibility which allows you to access classes that are studio-style, virtual coach programs, Explore the World scenic runs and off-treadmill exercises.

Other design factors that we consider include adjustable speed and incline controls (on the handrails and lower console) that can adjust to your commands without you having to use the touchscreen, simple buttons, and a user-friendly interface. We also consider whether the treadmill can be folded and, if it is, how long does it take to fold it. We also consider if the treadmill requires assembly and if that process is quick and painless.

3. Technology

The technology used in treadmills can make a big difference to how easy they are to operate, and if there are any glitches. When evaluating a treadmill sale in this category, we consider touchscreens and intuitive controls. We also consider user-friendly interfaces, intuitive controls, and other features that are technologically advanced. We also consider if the treadmill is mobile and folds at the touch of a button, which might be important for those who often move their treadmills around their home or have to squeeze them into tight spaces.

We were impressed with the Nordictrack 1250 treadmill's responsive speed and incline adjustments based upon past workouts, its long belt and cushioning that is comfortable, as well as the iFIT integration that allows access to virtual coaches, studio-style classes, Explore the World scenic runs, and off-treadmill exercise options (though it sometimes had trouble with Bluetooth connectivity). Its 22" striking, sharp touchscreen in color and iFIT integration made this treadmill a top choice.

Another treadmill with high scores is the ProForm Carbon T10. It has a 10" display and features live and on-demand content from the iFIT platform for running, walking and jogging. We love that the incline and speed changes are simple to navigate through the touchscreen, as are the ergonomically placed buttons for the quick adjustments, and the iFIT integration that lets you stream workouts from Zwift and Hulu Max (subscriptions required). The only downside is that it does not have headphones or USB ports.

4. Comfort

The best treadmills should be comfortable for those who use them. For those with larger bodies and taller strides should concentrate on the size of the deck and the amount of space it gives to walk or run and others may be concerned more about ergonomic features such as well-placed speed and incline control. We also looked for running experience features that make the machine more enjoyable to use, like front facing speakers and the USB charger port as well as tiny cooling fans, or plenty of storage space for water bottles and other accessories.

We also looked at the storage of each treadmill. Not everyone has enough space in their home to accommodate a full-size machine. Fortunately, most of the models we tested fold down or have support arms that reduce their footprint when not in use. We tested how easily the machines folded and stowed away and how long it took to set up, and whether they were easy to move on hard surfaces.

If you plan to run a lot of hilly outdoor routes, you'll also want to think about the maximum incline on the treadmill. This is a crucial feature that will allow you to train for more challenging outdoor climbs by allowing you to simulate the ascent on the treadmill.

We looked for responsive touchscreens and a user-friendly interface on each treadmill. We also considered the design of the treadmill and if it was compatible with fitness apps from third parties. This helped us decide whether each treadmill offered enough features to justify the cost. A high-quality treadmill at your home can help you get over the difficulties of bad weather and running experience costly gym memberships. It will also boost your motivation to keep your fitness levels up.

5. Safety

If not used correctly, a treadmill can be risky. It's a huge, heavy machine with a belt that can move at speeds of 10 or 12 miles per hour. Those who use treadmills near me for walking or running should not lean on the hand rails because this could throw off balance and lead to injury. Tripping hazards can also be caused by a clutter-filled area surrounding the treadmill. Keep it tidy and clutter free during the use of it and when storing it.

The most reliable treadmills will come with safety features such as a removable safety magnet attached to the belt. The magnet will break off and stop the belt immediately if a runner loses balance. This feature can safeguard the runner as well as others from serious injuries. Gyms have treadmills that are equipped with this technology, and home users ought to consider purchasing one to reduce the amount of accidents involving exercise equipment.

It is important to pay attention to the "beep" when the treadmill belt begins moving. Do not jump off before the belt has stopped. Many people make the error of jumping off the treadmill before the belt has completely stopped. This can cause serious injuries. Also, make sure to be aware of the location of the emergency shut-off button is and how to use it.

After you've finished using the treadmill it's recommended to disconnect it and turn off the treadmill. This will minimize the chance of unintentional use by children or visitors. It is also possible to keep it in a separate space with a clear space above and around it to keep others from touching it accidentally.
