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 long commute to the gym.

A good quality treadmill is also a great method to track your fitness level over time. If you're preparing for an upcoming marathon or simply want to maintain your fitness level, having a treadmill at home is a must.

1. Motor Vehicles

Look for a treadmill with powerful motors when shopping. If you plan to log more than 20 miles per week, and engage in intense training, you should choose a treadmill that has an all-time motor of 3.0 horsepower. The deck should be 60 inches long. If you're a beginner, or simply want to walk and jog on occasion, consider smaller models that has a 1.75-2.5 horsepower motor.

You must also decide if you'd like choose a treadmill that features a touchscreen and virtual classes or opt for an easier model that doesn't have an console. Some models fold up to make it easier to store.

For a sleek treadmill with a sleek design and a wide array of features, look into the Peloton Treadmill. It's more expensive than our top choice, but it combines an enjoyable running experience with an intuitive touchscreen and a great selection of on-demand workouts with instructors who are live and virtual. The incline controls are located on the handrails and quick dials make it simple to alter the speed and incline while exercising. The only cup holders on this treadmill are made of plastic and only hold water bottles.

Another treadmill to consider is the NordicTrack Commercial 2450. It's less expensive than the Peloton Treadmill but has a number of great features. Its iFit compatibility lets users to access a range of virtual workouts from trainers across the globe. You'll need a subscription to use the app, which is free for 30 days and costs $39 per month after that. The treadmill has an interactive touchscreen of 22 inches as well as a cushioned deck. It has the maximum speed of 12 mph and has an incline adjustability range of 33% to 15 percent for an exercise that is more challenging.

2. Design

The design of a treadmill is important as is any other piece of fitness equipment. If you're preparing for a challenging outdoor race, you'll want to select the treadmill with the highest incline settings that replicate the terrain outdoors. If you like to follow an exercise class, choose models with a large screen and iFIT compatibility which allows you to access classes in the studio as well as virtual coach programs. Explore the World scenic runs, and off-treadmill workouts.

Other design factors that we consider are adjustable speed and incline controls (on the handrails as well as the lower console) that adjust to your preferences without needing to use the touchscreen, simple buttons, and a user-friendly interface. We also consider whether the treadmill can be folded and, if it is the case, how long it will take to fold it. We also take into consideration if the treadmill requires assembly and whether that process is quick and painless.

3. Technology

The technology used on treadmills makes a big difference in how easy they are to operate and whether they have any issues. We take a look at touchscreens as well as user-friendly controls, intuitive interfaces and other features when scoring a machine in this category. We also consider whether a treadmill can be folded and moved easily. This is important for people who have to move their treadmills frequently or have to fit them into tight spaces.

The Nordictrack 1250 Treadmill impressed us with its rapid speed and incline adjustments in accordance with previous workouts, long belt, comfortable cushioning, and iFIT integration, which gives access to studio-style classes, virtual coaches, and Explore the World scenic run options, as well as off-treadmill exercise options (though Bluetooth connectivity was sometimes problematic). This treadmill was rated highly due to its 22" color touchscreen with attractive, sharp images and iFIT compatibility.

Another high-scoring treadmill is the ProForm Carbon T10. It sports 10" display and features live and on-demand content from iFIT to aid in walking, running and running. We like the ergonomically placed buttons for quick adjustments and the iFIT integration, which lets you to stream workouts on Zwift or Hulu Max with a subscription. The only downside is that it does not have headphones or USB ports.

4. Comfort

The most effective treadmills are those that are at ease for the person who is who uses them. People with larger bodies and larger strides will want to focus on the dimensions of the deck as well as the amount of space it offers for running or walking and others may be concerned more about ergonomic features like well-placed speed and incline controls. We also looked for extras that make it a pleasure to use the machine, including front-facing speakers, an USB charging port and small cooling fan, as well as plenty of storage options for your water bottle and other accessories.

Finally, we considered the storability of each treadmill best, as not everyone has space in their homes for a full-size treadmill. Fortunately, most of the models we tested fold up or have support arms that reduce their footprint when they are not in use. We evaluated how easily they folded and put away, how quickly they set up and whether or not they were easily moved on solid surfaces.

If you're planning to do many of the trails in the outdoors it is important to consider the maximum incline of the treadmill. This feature is important because it will help you prepare for more difficult outdoor climbs.

In terms of the technology on every treadmill, we looked for touchscreens that respond and easy to navigate during a workout, as well as an intuitive interface. We also examined the design of the treadmill and whether it was compatible with fitness apps from third-party companies. This helped us decide which treadmills had the right features to justify the cost. A high-quality treadmill at home can help you overcome the obstacles of bad weather and expensive gym memberships. It can also boost your motivation to keep in shape.

5. Safety

If not used correctly the treadmill could be risky. It's a heavy, large machine with a belt that is moving at speeds up to 10 or12 miles per hour. Avoid leaning on the handrails while using the treadmill to walk or run. This can result in injury and cause you to lose your balance. A cluttered area around the treadmill can cause tripping hazards, so it's important to keep it tidy and clutter-free throughout use and storage.

The best treadmills will have safety features such as an adjustable safety magnet that is attached to the belt. If a runner loses their balance, the magnet releases and stops the belt immediately. This feature can prevent serious injuries to runners and others. The treadmills in gyms are typically equipped with this technology, and home users might want to consider purchasing one in order to reduce the amount of accidents involving exercise equipment.

It is important to be attentive to the "beep" when the treadmill belt begins moving. Don't jump off before the belt has stopped. Many people make the error of jumping off the treadmill before the belt has stopped. This can cause serious injuries. Also, you should be familiar with the location and usage of the emergency shut-off switch.

It's also a good idea to make sure that the treadmill is turned off and unplugged after you're done with it. This will reduce the chance of your children or visitors accidentally turning it on and using the treadmill. Keeping it in a different room and having a clear area over and around it can also protect others from coming into contact with it as well.
