How to Find the Best Treadmills

A treadmill is among the most beneficial fitness investment you can build for your home. It allows you to work out at your own pace without worrying about the weather or the journey to the gym.

A treadmill of good quality is an excellent instrument to track your fitness progress. Whether you're training for an upcoming marathon or simply want to maintain your fitness level having a treadmill in your home is an essential purchase.

1. Motor Vehicles

When you are looking for a treadmill, search for one with an efficient motor. If you plan to log more than 20 miles per week, and do high-intensity 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're just starting out or just want to walk and jog on occasion, consider an option that is smaller and includes a 1.75-2.5 horsepower motor.

Choose if you would like a smart treadmill with a touchscreen as well as virtual classes, an console or a basic model that doesn't have one. Some models can be folded to make it easier to store.

For a sleek treadmill with a sleek appearance and a plethora of features, look into the Peloton Treadmill. It's more expensive than our top pick, but it combines an enjoyable running experience with a simple touchscreen and a wide range of workouts available on-demand from instructors both live and virtual. The incline controls, which are located on the handrails, make it easy to adjust the speed and incline during exercise. The only cup holders on this treadmill are made of plastic and only hold water bottles.

Another treadmill worth looking into is the NordicTrack Commercial 2450. It's a bit less expensive than the Peloton Treadmill, but it has a good set of features. With its iFit compatibility you'll be able to access a variety virtual workouts created by trainers around the world. The app is only accessible with a subscription, which costs $39 per month. The treadmill comes with a 22-inch touchscreen aswell as a cushioned deck. It can reach an maximum speed of 12 mph and offers an incline adjustability range of between -3% and 15% for an exercise that is more challenging.

2. Design

Like any other piece of fitness equipment, the way a treadmill is designed matters. If you're preparing for a challenging outdoor race you'll need to choose the treadmill with the highest incline settings that simulate outdoor terrain. If you enjoy following the workout class, choose models with a big screen and iFIT compatibility, which allows you to access studio-style classes as well as virtual coach programs. Explore the World scenic runs and other off-treadmill workouts.

We also look at the ease of using the buttons as well as the user-friendly interface. We also take into consideration whether the treadmill folds and, if it can how long it will take to fold it. We also look at whether the treadmill must be assembled and if that is a quick and painless process.

3. Technology

The technology used on treadmills can make a huge difference in how easy the machines are to operate and whether they have any issues. We look at touchscreens, intuitive controls, user-friendly interfaces and other tech features when evaluating a treadmill in this category. We also look at whether a treadmill is mobile and folds at the touch of a button. This might be important for those who move their machines around their home or have to place them in tight spaces.

The Nordictrack 1250 Treadmill impressed us with its rapid speed and incline adjustments according to 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 off-treadmill exercise options (though Bluetooth connectivity was sometimes difficult). Its 22" striking, sharp color touchscreen and iFIT integration made this treadmill a top choice.

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

4. Comfort

The most effective treadmills are ones that feel comfortable for the person using them. People with larger bodies and taller strides will want to focus on the size of the deck and the amount of space it gives for walking or running and others may be concerned more about ergonomic features, such as well-placed speed and incline control. We also looked for features that make the bike more enjoyable to use, like front-facing speakers as well as an USB charger port as well as a small cooling fan, or plenty of storage space for water bottles and other accessories.

We also considered the storability of each treadmill, because not everyone has room in their home to accommodate an entire 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 tested how easily the machines folded and could be stowed away, how long it took to put them up, and whether they were easy to move around on solid surfaces.

If you're planning to run a lot of trails in the outdoors, you'll also want to think about the maximum incline on the treadmill. This is a crucial feature that will help you prepare for more challenging outdoor climbs by simulating the ascent with the treadmill.

In terms of the technology that is on every treadmill home, we looked for touchscreens that are responsive and easy to navigate during training, as well as an user-friendly interface. We also looked for a non-glitchy appearance and whether the machine was compatible with third-party fitness apps. This helped us determine if each treadmill had enough features to justify the price tag. Having a quality home treadmill can eliminate the hurdles of weather or expensive gym memberships and can boost your motivation to get in shape.

5. Safety

If not used correctly the treadmill could be dangerous. It's a massive, heavy machine with a belt that is moving at speeds up to 12 miles per hour. Those who use a treadmill for walking and running should avoid leaning on the hand rails because this could throw off balance and lead to injuries. A messy space around the treadmill could cause tripping hazards, so it's important to keep it tidy and clutter-free throughout use and storage.

The most reliable treadmills come with security features such as a magnetic safety that can be removed and that is attached to the belt. If a runner loses their balance, the magnet detaches and stops the moving belt immediately. This feature can protect the runner as well as other people from serious injuries. This feature is typically used on treadmills in gyms. Home users should purchase one to decrease the amount of accidents that can occur on home exercise equipment.

When you are using a treadmill at home, it's important to pay attention to the safety "beep" that goes off when the belt starts to move and not jump off until the belt is stopped. Many people make the error of jumping off the treadmill before the belt has stopped. This could result in serious injuries. Also, make sure to be aware of the location of the emergency shut-off button is and how to use it.

It's also a good idea to ensure that the treadmill is shut off and unplugged once you're done. This will reduce the chance of unintentional use by visitors or children. It is also possible to keep it in a separate space with a clear space around it to prevent other people from getting it in the wrong way.
