How to Find the Best Treadmills

The treadmill is an excellent investment for your home. It lets you exercise at your own pace, without worrying about the weather or the commute to the gym.

A good treadmill is a great way to monitor your fitness progress. Whether you're training for an upcoming race or simply want to maintain your fitness level, having a treadmill at home is an essential item.

1. Motor

Choose a treadmill with a powerful motor when shopping. If you intend to run more than 20 miles a week and doing intense interval training, opt for a machine that offers a continuous 3.0 horsepower motor with a deck that's 60 inches long. If you're a beginner or simply want to walk or run on occasion, think about an option that is smaller and comes with a 1.75-2.5 horsepower motor.

Decide if you want a smart treadmill with a touchscreen as well as virtual classes, a console or a basic model without a console. Some models fold for easy storage.

For a sleek treadmill with a sleek appearance and an impressive range of features, take a look at the Peloton Treadmill. It's more expensive than our top choice, but it combines an effortless running experience with an intuitive touchscreen and an impressive 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 easy to adjust the speed and inclines while working out. 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 looking into is the NordicTrack Commercial 2450. It's cheaper than the Peloton Treadmill but has a lot of good features. With its iFit compatibility you'll be able to access a range of workouts developed by trainers from all over the world. You'll require a subscription to access the app, which is included 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

As with any piece of fitness equipment, the way in which a treadmill is constructed is crucial. If you're preparing for an outdoor race that is a bit hilly, you will want to select a treadmill with maximum incline settings. If you like to follow an exercise class, you should look for models with a large screen and iFIT compatibility which lets you access classes in the studio virtual coach programs, Explore the World scenic runs and other off-treadmill exercises.

We also look at the ease of using the buttons as well as the user-friendly interface. We also consider whether the treadmill folds and, if it can how long it takes to do so. We also examine whether the treadmill needs to be assembled and if that is a quick and painless process.

3. Technology

The technology utilized in treadmills makes a significant difference in how easy the machines are to use and whether they are prone to glitches. We look at touchscreens and intuitive controls, user-friendly interfaces and other features when evaluating a treadmill in this category. We also look at the possibility of a treadmill being folded and transported easily. This is essential for those who have to often move their treadmills around or have to fit them into tight spaces.

The Nordictrack 1250 Treadmill impressed us with its rapid speed and incline adjustments based on previous workouts, a long belt, comfortable cushioning, and iFIT integration, which offers access to studio-style classes, virtual coaches and Explore the World scenic run options, as well as exercises that are not on the treadmill (though Bluetooth connectivity was sometimes problematic). Its 22" eye-catching, crisp touchscreen with a color display and iFIT integration made this a top-rated treadmill.

Another treadmill with high scores is the ProForm Carbon T10. With 10" screen, it has live streaming and on-demand iFIT running, walking, and jogging videos. We like the ergonomically placed buttons that allow for quick adjustments, as well as the iFIT integration, which allows users to stream workouts on Zwift or Hulu Max with a subscription. The only downside is that it doesn't offer headphones or USB ports.

4. Comfort

The most efficient treadmills are those that are comfortable for the person who uses them. People with larger bodies and longer strides might be more concerned with the dimensions of the deck, and the amount of space it provides for walking or running. Others may be more interested in ergonomic features such as well-placed speed controls and incline controls. We also searched for additional features that make it a pleasure to use the machine, such as front-facing speakers, an USB charging port, a tiny cooling fan, and plenty of storage options for your water bottle and other accessories.

We also looked at the storage of each treadmill. Not everyone has enough space to accommodate a full-size machine. Fortunately, the majority of the treadmills we tested fold or have support arms that minimize 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 set up, and if they were easy to move around on firm surfaces.

If you're planning to do many of the difficult outdoor trails, you'll also want to consider the maximum incline of the machine. This is a crucial feature that will help you train for more difficult outdoor climbs by mimicking the ascent on the treadmill.

We looked for touchscreens that were responsive and an intuitive interface on each treadmill. We also considered the design of the treadmill and whether it was compatible with fitness apps from third-party companies. This helped us determine if each treadmill had enough features to justify the price tag. A high-quality treadmill at your home can help you overcome the obstacles of bad weather and expensive gym memberships. It will also boost your motivation to keep your fitness levels up.

5. Safety

If not properly used, a treadmill could be risky. It's a large, heavy machine with an incline that can move at speeds of 10 or 12 miles per hour. Avoid leaning on the handrails when using a treadmill to run or walk. This can result in injury and throw your balance off. A messy space around the treadmill could also create tripping hazards, so it's essential to keep it tidy and clutter-free throughout use and storage.

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

When using a treadmill at home, it's important to pay attention to the safety "beep" that sounds when the belt starts to move. Don't leap off until the belt is stopped. Many people make the mistake of trying to save time by jumping off before the belt is completely stopped, which could cause injuries. Also, familiarize yourself with the location and use of the emergency shut-off switch.

When you're done using the treadmill best, it's a good idea to unplug it and switch it off. This will reduce the chance of unintentional use by visitors or children. It is best to keep it in a separate room and a clear area above and around it can also prevent others from coming into contact with it, as well.
