How to Find the Best Treadmills

A treadmill is among the most beneficial fitness investment you can build for your home. It lets you work out at your own pace, without worrying about the weather and the long commute to the gym.

A high-quality treadmill can also be a great tool to track your fitness progress over time. Whether you're training for an upcoming marathon or simply want to maintain your fitness level having a treadmill at home is an essential item.

1. Motor Vehicles

Find a treadmill that has a powerful motor when shopping. If you plan to log up to 20 miles per week and performing high-intensity interval training, choose one that has a continuous 3.0 horsepower motor that has a deck that's 60 inches long. If you're a beginner, or just want to walk and run occasionally, you should consider smaller models that has a 1.75-2.5 horsepower motor.

Choose if you want an intelligent treadmill that has a touchscreen and virtual classes as well as an console or a basic model that doesn't have one. Some models even fold to make it easy to store.

For a sleek treadmill with a sleek design and a plethora of features, check out the Peloton Treadmill. It's a bit more expensive than our top choice, but it offers a smooth running experience and a user-friendly touchscreen. It also has an extensive selection of workouts on demand from virtual and live instructors. The controls for incline, which are located on the handrails, allow for easy adjustment of the speed and incline during exercise. The cups are the only ones available and only hold water bottles; there's no fan on this treadmill.

The NordicTrack Commercial 2450 is another treadmill worth considering. It's a bit less expensive than the Peloton Treadmill, but it offers a number of features. With its iFit compatibility, you can access a variety of virtual workouts developed by trainers from all over the world. The app is only available with a subscription, which costs $39 per monthly. The treadmill comes with an interactive touchscreen of 22 inches as well as a cushioned deck. It can go up to 12 mph, and also has an incline that ranges between -3 % to 15 percent for a more difficult exercise.

2. Design

As with all fitness equipment, the way in which a treadmill is designed matters. If you're training for an outdoor race that is hilly it is best to choose a treadmill that has the highest incline settings. If you like to follow classes pick models with a large display and iFIT compatibility. This lets you access studio-style classes, virtual coach programs, Explore the World scenic run, and off-treadmill exercises.

Other design factors that we take into consideration are responsive speed and incline controls (on the handrails as well as the lower console) that adjust to your preferences without having to touch the touchscreen, user-friendly buttons, and an easy-to-use interface. We also look at whether the treadmill can fold and, if so then how long it will take to fold it. We also consider if the treadmill requires assembly and whether the process is quick and painless.

3. Technology

The technology used on treadmills can make a huge difference in the ease with which they are to use and whether they have any issues. When evaluating a treadmill within this category, we consider touchscreens and easy-to-use controls. We also consider user-friendly interfaces, easy-to-use controls and other features that are technologically advanced. We also take into consideration if a treadmill is mobile and folds at the push of a button. This could be crucial for those who move their treadmills around their home or have to place them in tight spaces.

The Nordictrack 1250 Treadmill impressed us with its quick speed and incline control in accordance with 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 exercises that are not on the treadmill (though Bluetooth connectivity was sometimes difficult). This treadmill was rated highly due to its 22" color touchscreen with crisp, eye-catching images and the iFIT compatibility.

The ProForm Carbon T10 is another treadmill with a high score. With 10" screen, it provides live streaming and on demand iFIT walking, running, and jogging videos. We like that the speed and incline changes are simple to navigate through the touchscreen, as are the ergonomically-placed buttons that allow for quick adjustments, and the iFIT integration which lets you stream workouts from Zwift and Hulu Max (subscriptions required). The only issue is that there's no USB or headphone ports.

4. Comfort

The best treadmills should feel comfortable for the people using them. Some people with larger bodies and longer strides may be more concerned with the dimensions of the deck, as well as the amount of space available for walking or running. Others might be more concerned with ergonomic features such as well-placed control of speed and incline. We also searched for additional features that make it more enjoyable to use the machine, including front-facing speakers and a USB charging port, a small cooling fan, and plenty of storage options for your water bottle and other accessories.

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

If you're planning to run many difficult outdoor trails, you'll also want to think about the maximum incline on the treadmill. This is a crucial feature that can help you prepare for more challenging outdoor climbs by mimicking the ascent with the treadmill.

In terms of the technology on each treadmill, we searched for touchscreens that respond and easy to use during an exercise and have an intuitive interface. We also considered the design of the treadmill and whether it was compatible with fitness apps from third parties. This helped us determine if each treadmill offered enough features to justify the cost. Having a quality home treadmill can eliminate the hurdles of weather or costly gym memberships and boosts your motivation to stay in shape.

5. Safety

A treadmill could be a danger to equipment if not operated properly. It's a large and heavy machine that has an incline that can move at speeds of 10 or 12 miles per hour. Avoid leaning on the handrails when using the treadmill to run or walk. This could cause injury and cause you to lose your balance. A risk of tripping is also caused by a clutter-filled area around the treadmill. Keep it tidy and clutter free during use and when storing it.

The most reliable treadmills come with security features such as a removable safety magnetic attached to the belt. The magnet will break off and stop the belt immediately in the event that a runner is unable to maintain balance. This feature could prevent serious injuries to runners and other users. The treadmills in gyms are typically equipped with this technology, and homeowners might want to consider purchasing one in order to reduce the risk of accidents involving exercise equipment.

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

It's also a good idea to ensure that the treadmill is shut off and unplugged when you're done. This will reduce the chance of unintentional use by children or visitors. The fact that it is kept in a separate room and having a clear area over and around it will protect others from coming into contact with it, as well.
