How to Find the Best Treadmills

A treadmill is among the best fitness investment options you can make for your home. It allows you to exercise on your schedule, without worrying about the weather or your commute to the gym.

A quality treadmill is an ideal tool for tracking your fitness improvement. A treadmill is essential for anyone training for a marathon, or simply looking to keep their fitness level.

1. Motor Vehicles

When looking for a treadmill, look for one with an impressive motor. If you plan to log upwards of 20 miles a week and performing high-intensity interval training, you should choose a machine that offers an uninterrupted 3.0 horsepower motor with 60 inches of deck long. If you're a beginner or just want to walk and run on occasion, think about a more compact model that has a 1.75-2.5 horsepower motor.

You must also decide if you'd like to go for a smart treadmill that features a touchscreen and virtual classes, or if you prefer an easier model that doesn't have an console. Some models can fold down to make it easy to store.

The Peloton Treadmill is a smart treadmill that has an elegant design and impressive array of features. It's more expensive than our top choice, but it combines a smooth running experience with a user-friendly touchscreen and a wide variety of workouts on demand with instructors who are live and virtual. The controls for incline, which are located on the handrails allow for easy adjustment of the speed and inclines while exercising. The only cup holders on this treadmill are made of plastic and only hold water bottles.

The NordicTrack Commercial 2450 is another treadmill to consider. It's less expensive than the Peloton Treadmill but has a number of great features. With its iFit compatibility you'll be able to access a variety virtual workouts developed by trainers around the world. You'll need a subscription to use the app, which is free for 30 days and is $39 per month after that. The treadmill has a 22-inch touchscreen aswell as a cushioned deck. It can go up to 12 mph, and also has an incline that ranges from -3 % to 15 percent for a more difficult exercise.

2. Design

As with any piece of fitness equipment, the way a treadmill is designed matters. If you're preparing for a race that is hilly, you'll want to select a treadmill with maximum incline settings that replicate the terrain of the outdoors. If you're interested in following classes select models with a large screen 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 responsive speed and incline controls (on the handrails as well as the lower console) that adjust to your commands without you having to touch the touchscreen, user-friendly buttons, and a user-friendly interface. We also look at whether the treadmill can be folded and, if so how long it takes to fold it. We also consider whether the treadmill must be put together and if it's simple and easy to do so.

3. Technology

The technology used in treadmills can make a huge difference to how easy they are to use and if there are any glitches. We look at touchscreens as well as user-friendly controls, intuitive interfaces and other features when evaluating a treadmill in this category. We also look at whether the treadmill is mobile and folds at the touch of a button, which might be important for those who frequently move their treadmills around their homes or need to fit them in tight spaces.

We were awestruck by the Nordictrack 1250 Treadmill's receptive speed and incline adjustment based on previous workouts, its lengthy belt and cushioning that is comfortable, as well as the iFIT integration that gives access to studio-style classes, virtual coaches, Explore the World scenic runs, as well as off-treadmill training options (though it sometimes had problems with Bluetooth connectivity). Its 22" striking, sharp color touchscreen and iFIT integration made this a top treadmill.

Another treadmill with high scores is the ProForm Carbon T10. With a 10" screen, it has live streaming and on-demand iFIT walking, running, and jogging content. We like that the speed and incline adjustments are easy to navigate through the touchscreen, as are the ergonomically placed buttons for the quick adjustments, information and the iFIT integration which lets you stream workouts from Zwift and Hulu Max (subscriptions required). The one downside is that it doesn't offer an audio port or USB ports.

4. Comfort

The most efficient treadmills are ones that feel at ease for the person who is who uses them. People with larger bodies and larger strides should focus on the size of the deck and how much space it gives 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 enjoyable to use the machine, including front-facing speakers and the USB charging port, a tiny cooling fan, and plenty of storage options for your water bottle and other accessories.

We also considered the storage capacity of each treadmill. Not everyone has enough space in their home to accommodate a full-size machine. Fortunately, almost all of the treadmills we tested fold up or have support arms that minimize their footprint when not in use. We tested how easily the machines folded and stowed away, how long it took to set up, and if they were easy to move around on firm surfaces.

If you're planning to do a lot of trails in the outdoors, you'll also want to consider the maximum incline of the machine. This is a crucial feature that will allow you to prepare for more difficult outdoor climbs by mimicking the ascent using the treadmill.

In terms of the technology that is on each treadmill, we looked for touchscreens that respond and easy to use during training, as well as an intuitive interface. We also looked at the design of the treadmill and whether it was compatible with fitness apps from third-party companies. This helped us determine whether each treadmill offered enough features to justify its price. Having a quality home treadmill can eliminate the hurdles of weather or costly gym memberships and can boost your motivation to get into shape.

5. Safety

If not used correctly, a treadmill could be risky. It's a large and heavy machine that has a belt that can move at speeds of 10 or 12 miles per hour. People who use a treadmill for walking and running should be careful not to lean on the hand rails, as this can throw off balance and lead to injuries. A risk of tripping is also caused by a messy area around the treadmill. Keep it clean and clutter-free during the use of it and when storing it.

The best treadmills will include security features like an adjustable safety magnet that is that is attached to the belt. If a runner loses balance, the magnet releases and stops the belt immediately. This feature can help prevent serious injuries to runners as well as other people. The treadmills in gyms are typically equipped with this technology, and home owners might want to consider purchasing one in order to help decrease the number of accidents that occur when exercising at home equipment.

When using a treadmill at home, it's crucial to pay attention to the safety "beep" that sounds when the belt starts to move, and don't jump off until the belt has stopped. Many people make the mistake of trying to save time by jumping off before the belt has completely stopped, which can lead to injuries. Also, be familiar with the location and usage of the emergency shut-off switch.

After you've finished using the treadmill It's a good idea that you unplug and shut off the treadmill. This will minimize the chance of unintentional use by children or visitors. The fact that it is kept in a different room and having a clear area over and around it can protect other people from accidental contact with it as well.
