How to Find the Best Treadmills

The treadmill best is a fantastic investment for your home. It allows you to work out on your schedule, without worrying about the weather or the journey to the gym.

A good treadmill is a great instrument to track your fitness improvement. If you're preparing for an upcoming marathon or simply want to keep your fitness level, having a treadmill at home is a must.

1. Motor

Look for a treadmill with powerful motors when shopping. If you plan to log upwards of 20 miles per week and doing high-intensity interval training, you should choose an option that comes with an unstoppable 3.0 horsepower motor with 60 inches of deck long. If you're just beginning, or only would like to jog or walk often, you should consider a model with motors that range between 1.75 and 2.5 horsepower.

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

The Peloton Treadmill is a smart treadmill that has sleek design and impressive array of features. It's more expensive than our top pick but it provides an enjoyable running experience with a user-friendly touchscreen and a great variety of workouts on demand with instructors who are live and virtual. The incline controls are placed on the handrails. The quick dials make it simple to adjust speeds and inclines while working out. Unfortunately, the cups are the only ones available and are only able to hold water bottles; there's no fan on this treadmill.

Another treadmill worth considering is the NordicTrack Commercial 2450. It's cheaper than the Peloton Treadmill but has a lot of good features. With iFit's compatibility you'll be able to access a variety virtual workouts created by trainers from all over the world. You'll need a subscription to access the app, which is free for 30 days and costs $39 per month after that. The treadmill also has a huge 22-inch touchscreen and a cushioned deck. It can reach a maximum speed of 12 mph, and comes with an incline adjustability range of between -3% and 15% for an intense workout.

2. Design

The design of a treadmill is important, just like any other piece of fitness equipment. If you're training for a hilly outdoor race it is recommended to choose a treadmill with maximum incline settings that simulate the terrain outdoors. If you enjoy following the workout class, you should look for models with a big 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 other off-treadmill exercises.

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

3. Technology

The technology utilized in treadmills can make a huge difference in the ease with which they are to use and if they have any issues. We look at touchscreens, intuitive controls, user-friendly interfaces and other tech features when scoring a machine in this category. We also look at the possibility of a treadmill being folded and transported easily. This is essential for those who move their machines frequently or have to squeeze them into tight spaces.

We were awestruck by the Nordictrack 1250 Treadmill's responsive speed and incline adjustments based on past workouts, its long belt with a comfortable cushion, 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" eye-catching, crisp touchscreen with a color display and iFIT compatibility make this treadmill a top choice.

Another treadmill that scores high is the ProForm Carbon T10. It has 10" display and provides live and on-demand content from the iFIT platform for walking, running and running. We like the fact that the speed and incline changes are easy to navigate on the touchscreen, as are the ergonomically-placed buttons for quick adjustments as well as the iFIT integration that lets you stream workouts from Zwift and Hulu Max (subscriptions required). The only issue is that there are no USB or headphone ports.

4. Comfort

The best treadmills should feel comfortable for those who use 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 walking or running, while others might care more about ergonomic features like the right-placed speed and incline controls. We also searched for additional features that make it more enjoyable to use the machine, like front-facing speakers and the USB charging port, a small cooling fan, as well as plenty of places to store your water bottle or other accessories.

We also considered the storage capacity of each treadmill. Not everyone has enough space in their homes to fit a full-size treadmill. Fortunately, almost all of the treadmills we tested fold up or have support arms that reduce their footprint when they are not in use. We tested the ease with which the machines folded and stowed away and how long it took to set up, and whether they were easy to move on firm surfaces.

If you intend to run lots of hills outdoors, it is important to be aware of the highest gradient. This is crucial because it can help you prepare for more challenging outdoor climbs.

We looked for responsive touchscreens and a simple interface on each treadmill. We also looked for a non-glitchy appearance and whether the treadmill was compatible with third-party fitness apps. This helped us decide which treadmills had the right features to justify its price. A high-quality treadmill at home eliminates the obstacles of weather or costly gym memberships and can boost your motivation to stay in shape.

5. Safety

If not properly used, a treadmill could be risky. It's a heavy, large machine with a belt moving at speeds up to 10 or12 miles per hour. People who use treadmills for walking or running should be careful not to lean on the hand rails, because this could throw off balance and result in injuries. The risk of tripping can also be caused by a messy area surrounding the treadmill. Keep it tidy and clutter free during storage and during use.

The best treadmills will have safety features, such as an adjustable safety magnet that is that is attached to the belt. The magnet will break off and stop the belt right away if a runner loses balance. This feature can protect the runner and other people from serious injuries. The treadmills in gyms are typically equipped with this technology, and homeowners should consider purchasing one to reduce the amount of accidents that occur when exercising at home equipment.

When using a treadmill at home, it's crucial to listen for the safety "beep" that comes on when the belt begins to move and not jump off until the belt is stopped. Many people make the mistake of trying to save time by jumping off before the belt has completely stopped, which can cause injuries. Also, you should be familiar with the position and operation of the emergency shut-off switch.

It's important to make sure that the treadmill is turned off and unplugged when you're done with it. This will minimize the chance of unintentional use by children or visitors. It can also be kept in a separate area with a clear space around it to keep others from accidentally touching it.
