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 or the long commute to the gym.

A treadmill of good quality is a great tool for tracking your fitness performance. A treadmill is an essential item for anyone who is training for a marathon or just wanting to maintain their fitness level.

1. Motor

When shopping for a treadmill, look for one with an efficient motor. If you plan to run more than 20 miles per week, and engage in intense training, you should choose a treadmill with an all-time motor of 3.0 horsepower. The deck should measure 60 inches in length. If you are a beginner or just need to walk or run occasionally, consider an option with a motor that is between 1.75 and 2.5 horsepower.

You must also decide if you'd prefer to opt for a treadmill that features a touchscreen and virtual classes, or prefer simple models without the console. Some models can fold down to make it easier to store.

For a smart treadmill with a sleek style and an impressive range of features, take a look at the Peloton Treadmill. It's more expensive than our top choice but it provides an enjoyable running experience with a user-friendly touchscreen and a great range of workouts available on-demand from instructors both live and virtual. The controls for incline, which are situated on the handrails allow for easy adjustment of the speed and incline during exercise. Unfortunately, the only cup holders are made of plastic and only hold water bottles; there's no fan on this treadmill.

Another treadmill to consider is the NordicTrack Commercial 2450. It's more affordable than the Peloton Treadmill but has a lot of good features. Its iFit integration allows you to access a wide range of workouts online from trainers across the globe. You'll need a subscription in order to use the app, which is included for 30 days and costs $39 per month after that. The treadmill features a 22-inch touchscreen aswell as a cushioned deck. It can reach speeds of up to 12 mph and also has an incline that ranges between -3 % to 15 percent for a more challenging exercise.

2. Design

As with all fitness equipment, the way a treadmill is designed matters. If you are training for an outdoor race that is a bit hilly it is best to choose a treadmill with maximum incline settings. If you're interested in following classes pick models with a large display and iFIT compatibility. This lets you access studio-style classes, virtual coach programs, Explore the World scenic run, and other off-treadmill exercises.

Other design factors that we consider include the incline and speed controls that are responsive (on the handrails and the lower console) that can adjust to your preferences without having to use the touchscreen, simple buttons, and a user-friendly interface. We also take into consideration whether the treadmill can fold and, if it is, how long does it take to fold it. We also examine whether the treadmill has to be put together and if it's an easy and quick process.

3. Technology

The technology used in treadmills can make a big difference in how easy they are to use, and if there are any glitches. We take a look at touchscreens and intuitive controls, user-friendly interfaces, and other technological features when evaluating a treadmill in this category. We also take into consideration whether treadmills can be folded and easily transported. This is crucial for people who often move their treadmills around or need to squeeze them into tight space.

We were impressed with the Nordictrack 1250 Treadmill's responsive speed and incline adjustment based on previous workouts, its lengthy belt and comfortable cushioning, and the iFIT integration that gives access to virtual coaches, studio-style classes, Explore the World scenic runs, as well as off-treadmill training options (though it occasionally had problems with Bluetooth connectivity). The treadmill was highly rated due to its 22" color touchscreen, which has crisp, eye-catching images and iFIT compatibility.

Another treadmill that scores high is the ProForm Carbon T10. With a 10" screen, it has live streaming and on-demand iFIT walking, running, and jogging content. We like the fact that the incline and speed changes are simple to navigate through the touchscreen, as are the ergonomically-placed buttons that allow for quick adjustments and the iFIT integration that lets you stream workouts from Zwift and Hulu Max (subscriptions required). The only drawback is that there are no USB or headphone ports.

4. Comfort

The best treadmills are ones that feel at ease for the person who is using them. For those with larger bodies and longer strides might be more concerned with the dimensions of the deck, and the amount of space it provides to walk or run. Others might be more interested in ergonomic features such as well-placed control of speed and incline. We also looked for features that make the bike more enjoyable to use, such as front facing speakers, the USB charger port as well as an insignificant cooling fan or plenty of storage space for your water bottle and other accessories.

We also considered the storage capacity of each treadmill. Not everyone has enough space in their homes to store a full-sized treadmill. Fortunately, the majority of the treadmills on sale we tested fold or have support arms that reduce their footprint when not in use. We looked at how easily they folded and stored away and set up, how quickly they could be set up and whether or not they were easily moved on solid surfaces.

If you plan on running lots of hills outdoors, you should also take into consideration the maximum incline. This is a crucial feature that will help you prepare for more challenging outdoor climbs by allowing you to simulate the ascent on the treadmill.

We looked for touchscreens that were responsive and an intuitive interface on every treadmill. We also sought out a non-slip design and whether or not the treadmill was compatible with third-party fitness apps. This helped us decide whether each treadmill offered enough features to justify the price. A quality treadmill at your home can help you get over the difficulties of weather conditions and costly gym memberships. It will also boost your motivation to stay in shape.

5. Safety

If not used correctly, a treadmill could be risky. It's a large heavy machine with an incline that can move at speeds of up to 10 or 12 miles per hour. People who use treadmills for walking and running should not lean on the hand rails because this could throw off balance and lead to injuries. A cluttered area around the treadmill could cause tripping hazards, so it's important to keep it tidy and clutter-free during use and storage.

The most reliable treadmills at home come with safety features like a removable safety magnetic attached to the belt. If a runner loses balance, the magnet disengages and stops the belt instantly. This feature could prevent serious injuries to runners and others. This technology is usually found on treadmills in gyms. Home users should purchase one to decrease the amount of accidents that happen with home exercise equipment.

When using a treadmill at home, it is important to listen for the "beep" that sounds when the belt begins to move, and don't jump off until the belt is stopped. Many people make the mistake of jumping off the treadmill before the belt has completely stopped. This can result in serious injuries. Be sure to be aware of where the emergency shut-off button is and how to use it.

It's also a good idea to make sure that the treadmill is shut off and unplugged when you're done with it. This will reduce the chance of kids or unintentionally visiting visitors accidentally turning on and using it. It is best to keep it in a separate room and a clear space above and around it will protect others from coming into contact with it as well.
