How to Find the Best Treadmills

The treadmill is a fantastic investment for your home. It lets you exercise at your own speed, without worrying about the weather and the journey to the gym.

A good quality treadmill is also a great method to track your fitness progress over time. A treadmill is a must-have for anyone who is training for a marathon or just wanting to maintain their fitness level.

1. Motor

Find a treadmill that has an efficient motor when you shop. If you intend to run 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 a more compact model that includes a 1.75-2.5 horsepower motor.

You must also decide if you'd like to opt for a treadmill with a touchscreen and virtual classes, or opt for simple models without an console. Some models can fold down to make it easy to store.

The Peloton Treadmill is a sophisticated treadmill that sports sleek design and impressive range features. It's more expensive than our top choice however it offers an enjoyable running experience with an intuitive touchscreen and an impressive selection of on-demand workouts from live and virtual instructors. The incline controls, situated on the handrails allow for easy adjustment of the speed and inclines while exercising. The only cup holders on this treadmill are plastic and are only used to 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 comes with a great set of features. Its iFit compatibility lets users to access a range of workouts in virtual form from trainers all over the world. You'll require a subscription to use the app, which is free for 30 days and is $39 per month after that. The treadmill features a 22-inch touchscreen as well 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

Like any other piece of fitness equipment, the way a treadmill for home is constructed is crucial. If you're training for an outdoor race that is hilly it is best to choose a treadmill that has maximum incline settings. If you like to follow classes, choose models with a big display and iFIT compatibility. This lets you access studio style classes, virtual coach programmes, Explore the World scenic run, 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 adjust to your preferences without needing to touch the touchscreen, user-friendly buttons, and a user-friendly interface. We also look at whether the treadmill can fold and if it is then how long it will take to fold it. We also look at whether the treadmill has to be put together and if it's an easy and quick process.

3. Technology

The technology used on treadmills makes a significant difference in how easy the machines are to use and whether they are prone to glitches. We consider touchscreens and intuitive controls, user-friendly interfaces and other features when evaluating a treadmill in this category. We also look at whether treadmills are portable and folds with the push of a button. This might be important for those who frequently move their treadmills around their home or have to fit them in tight space.

We were impressed by the Nordictrack 1250 treadmill's responsive speed and incline adjustment based on previous workouts, its lengthy belt and cushioning that is comfortable, as well as the iFIT integration that allows access to virtual coaches, studio-style classes, Explore the World scenic runs, as well as off-treadmill training options (though it sometimes had trouble with Bluetooth connectivity). Its 22" eye-catching, crisp touchscreen in color and iFIT compatibility made this a top-rated treadmill.

Another treadmill that scores high is the ProForm Carbon T10. With a 10" screen, it has on-demand live and on-demand iFIT running, walking, and jogging content. We love the ergonomically-placed buttons that allow for rapid adjustments as well as the iFIT integration, which allows you to stream workouts via Zwift or Hulu Max with a subscription. The one downside is that it does not have a headphone port or USB ports.

4. Comfort

The best treadmills should feel comfortable for those who use them. For those with larger bodies and longer strides could be more concerned with the dimensions of the deck, as well as the amount of space it offers for walking or running. Others may be more concerned about ergonomic features such as well-placed controls for speed and incline. We also looked for features that make the machine enjoyable to use, like front facing speakers, an USB charger port and a small cooling fan, or plenty of storage space for your water bottle and other accessories.

We also considered the storage capacity of each treadmill, because not everyone has room in their home for an entire treadmill. Fortunately, most of the treadmills we tested fold up or have support arms that reduce their footprint when not in use. We evaluated the ease with which the machines folded and could be stowed away and 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 many of the trails in the outdoors it is important to take into consideration the highest incline of the machine. This feature is important because it will help you prepare for more challenging outdoor climbs.

We looked for responsive touchscreens and an intuitive interface on every treadmill. We also sought out a non-slip design and whether or not the machine was compatible with fitness apps from third parties. This helped us determine which treadmills had the right features to justify the price. Having a quality home treadmill removes the barriers of weather or costly gym memberships and boosts your motivation to stay in shape.

5. Safety

A treadmill can be a risky piece of equipment if it is not used in a safe manner. It's a large, heavy machine that has a belt that moves at speeds up to 12 miles per hour. People who use treadmills for walking and running should avoid leaning on the hand rails as this can throw off balance and lead to injuries. The risk of tripping can also be caused by a clutter-filled area around 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 attached to the belt. If a runner falls off their balance, the magnet detaches and stops the moving belt immediately. This feature is able to protect the runner as well as others from serious injuries. Treadmills at gyms are usually 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 important to listen for the safety "beep" that comes on when the belt begins to move, and don't jump off until the belt is stopped. Many people make the mistake of stepping off the treadmill before the belt has completely stopped. This can result in serious injuries. Be certain to know where the emergency shut-off button is located and how to use it.

It's also a good idea to ensure that the treadmill is turned off and unplugged when you're done. This will reduce the chance of accidental use by visitors or children. It is also possible to keep it in a separate location with a clear space around it to prevent other people from accidentally touching it.
