How to Find the Best Treadmills

A treadmill is among the best fitness investment you can build for your home. It allows you to exercise according to your schedule, without worrying about the weather or the journey to the gym.

A treadmill of good quality is an ideal instrument to track your fitness progress. Whether you're training for an upcoming race or simply want to maintain your fitness level, having a treadmill at home is a must.

1. Motor Vehicles

When you are looking for a treadmill, look for one with an efficient motor. If you intend to run more than 20 miles per week, and engage in intense training, select a treadmill with a continuous motor of 3.0 horsepower. The deck should be at least 60 inches in length. If you're a beginner, or just want to walk and run occasionally, you should consider a more compact model that comes with a 1.75-2.5 horsepower motor.

Decide if you want an ultra-modern treadmill that comes with a touchscreen as well as virtual classes, a console, or a simple model without a console. 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 a bit more expensive than our top pick but it offers an enjoyable running experience and a simple touchscreen. It also has numerous workouts on demand from live and virtual instructors. The incline controls, situated on the handrails make it easy to adjust the speed and incline during exercise. The cups are the only ones available and only hold water bottles; there's no fan on this treadmill.

Another treadmill worth looking into is the NordicTrack Commercial 2450. It's less expensive than the Peloton Treadmill but has a lot of good features. Its iFit compatibility lets users to access a range of workouts in virtual form from trainers across the globe. The app is only available as a subscription which costs $39 per month. The treadmill comes with a 22-inch touchscreen aswell as a cushioned deck. It has an maximum speed of 12 mph, and comes with an incline range of between -3% and 15 percent for an intense workout.

2. Design

Like any other piece of fitness equipment, the way a treadmill is designed is important. If you're planning to train for a challenging outdoor race you'll need to choose an exercise machine with the highest incline settings that simulate the terrain outdoors. If you enjoy following the class pick models with a large screen and iFIT compatibility. This lets you access studio style classes, virtual coach programmes, Explore the World scenic run, and off-treadmill workouts.

Other design aspects we consider include the incline and speed controls that are responsive (on the handrails as well as the lower console) that adjust to your commands without you needing to touch the touchscreen, user-friendly buttons, and an easy-to-use interface. We also look at whether the treadmill folds and, if it can, how long it takes to do so. We also take into consideration if the treadmill requires assembly and whether that process is easy and quick.

3. Technology

The technology utilized in treadmills can make a big difference to how easy they are to use, and whether or not there are any glitches. We consider touchscreens, intuitive controls, user-friendly interfaces and other tech features when scoring a machine in this category. We also consider whether a treadmill can be folded and moved easily. This is essential for those who have to move their treadmills frequently or have to fit them into tight space.

The Nordictrack 1250 Treadmill impressed us with its quick speed and incline control based on previous workouts, long belt, comfortable cushioning, and iFIT integration, which offers access to studio-style classes, virtual coaches and Explore the World scenic run options, in addition to exercises that are not on the treadmill (though Bluetooth connectivity was sometimes problematic). Its 22" attractive, vibrant touchscreen in color and iFIT integration made this a top treadmill.

The ProForm Carbon T10 is another treadmill with a high score. It has a 10" display and offers live and on-demand content from iFIT for walking, running and jogging. We love that the speed and incline adjustments are simple to navigate through the touchscreen, the ergonomically placed buttons for the quick adjustments, and the iFIT integration which lets you stream workouts from Zwift and Hulu Max (subscriptions required). It's only downside is that there's no USB or headphone ports.

4. Comfort

The best treadmills are those that feel at ease for the person who is who is using them. People with larger bodies and longer strides may be more concerned about the size of the deck, as well as the amount of space it provides for walking or running. Others might be more concerned with ergonomic features like well-placed control of speed and incline. We also scoured for features that make it a pleasure to use the machine, such as front-facing speakers, an USB charging port and small cooling fan, as well as plenty of places to store your water bottle or other accessories.

Finally, we considered the storability of each treadmill, as there isn't always room in their home to accommodate a full-size treadmill. Fortunately, the majority of the models we tested fold down or have support arms that reduce their footprint when they are not in use. We evaluated how easily they folded up and put away and how quickly they were set up and whether they were easy to move on firm surfaces.

If you are planning to run a lot of hilly routes outdoors, you should also be aware of the highest incline. This is essential since it will allow you to prepare for more difficult outdoor climbs.

We looked for touchscreens that were responsive and an intuitive interface on each treadmill. We also considered the design of the treadmill, and whether it was compatible with fitness apps from third parties. This helped us decide which treadmills had the right features to justify its price. Having a quality home treadmill eliminates the obstacles of weather or expensive gym memberships, and can increase your motivation to stay in shape.

5. Safety

A treadmill could be a dangerous piece of equipment if not operated properly. It's a large heavy machine with a belt that moves at speeds of 10 or 12 miles per hour. Anyone who uses a treadmill for walking and running should avoid leaning on the hand rails as this can throw off balance and lead to injuries. A cluttered space around the treadmill could also cause tripping hazards so it's important to keep it tidy and clutter-free during use as well as storage.

The most reliable treadmills come with security features such as a magnetic safety that can be removed and attached to the belt. If a runner loses their balance, the magnet releases and stops the moving belt immediately. This feature can help prevent serious injuries to runners and others. This type of technology is typically found on treadmills at gyms. Home users should invest in one to lessen the risk of accidents that happen with home exercise equipment.

It is important to pay attention to the "beep" when the treadmill belt starts moving. Don't jump off before the belt has stopped. Many people make the mistake of trying to save time by jumping off before the belt is completely stopped, which can cause injuries. Also, familiarize yourself with the location and use of the emergency shut-off switch.

When you're done using the treadmill, it's a good idea to disconnect it and turn it off. This will reduce the chance of children or unsuspecting visitors inadvertently turning on and using it. It can also be kept in a separate area with a clear space around it to stop others from getting it in the wrong way.
