How to Find the Best Treadmills

The treadmill is a fantastic investment for your home. It allows you to work out at your own speed, without worrying about the weather or the journey to the gym.

A quality treadmill is also a great way to track your fitness progress over time. A treadmill is a must-have for anyone who is training for a marathon or just looking to keep their fitness level.

1. Motor

When you are looking for a treadmill, look for one with an impressive motor. If you intend to run up to 20 miles per week and doing intense interval training, opt for a machine that offers an uninterrupted 3.0 horsepower motor with 60 inches of deck long. If you're a beginner or just would like to jog or walk often, you should consider the model that has a motor that is between 1.75 and 2.5 horsepower.

It is also important to decide if you'd like choose a treadmill with a touchscreen and virtual classes or opt for an easier model that doesn't have an console. Some models can fold down to make it easy to store.

For a sleek treadmill for home use with a sleek appearance and a wide array of features, check out the Peloton Treadmill. It's more expensive than our top choice, but it combines an enjoyable running experience with a simple touchscreen and an impressive selection of on-demand workouts from live and virtual instructors. The incline controls, which are located on the handrails, allow for easy adjustment of speed and inclines during exercise. Unfortunately, the only cup holders are made of plastic and only hold water bottles. There's no fan on this treadmill.

The NordicTrack Commercial 2450 is another treadmill worth considering. It's less expensive than the Peloton Treadmill best but has a lot of good features. With its iFit compatibility you'll be able to access a variety of virtual workouts designed by trainers all over the world. The app is available as a subscription which costs $39 per month. The treadmill has a 22-inch touchscreen as well as a cushioned deck. It can reach a maximum speed of 12 mph and has an incline range of between -3% and 15 percent for an intense workout.

2. Design

Like any other piece of fitness equipment, the way a treadmill is designed is important. If you're training for a challenging outdoor race, you'll want to select a treadmill with maximum incline settings that simulate the terrain of the outdoors. If you love to follow the workout class, you should look for models with a big screen and iFIT compatibility which allows you to access classes in the studio as well as virtual coach programs. Explore the World scenic runs, and off-treadmill workouts.

Other design aspects we consider include the incline and speed controls that are responsive (on the handrails and the lower console) that can adjust to your commands without you needing to use the touchscreen, simple buttons, and a slick interface. We also consider whether the treadmill can be folded and, if so, how long it takes to fold it. We also look at whether the treadmill at home needs assembly and whether the process is quick and painless.

3. Technology

The technology used in treadmills can make a huge difference in how easy they are to use and if they have any issues. We take a look at touchscreens, intuitive controls, user-friendly interfaces, and other technological features when scoring a machine in this category. We also consider the possibility of a treadmill being folded and transported easily. This is essential for people who often move their treadmills around or have to fit them into tight space.

We were awestruck by the Nordictrack 1250 Treadmill's receptive speed and incline adjustment based on previous workouts, its wide belt with a comfortable cushion, 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 occasionally had problems with Bluetooth connectivity). Its 22" eye-catching, crisp color touchscreen and iFIT compatibility made this a top treadmill.

The ProForm Carbon T10 is another high-scoring treadmill. With a 10" screen, it offers live streaming and on demand iFIT walking, running, and jogging content. We like that the speed and incline changes are easy to navigate through the touchscreen, the ergonomically placed buttons for the quick adjustments as well as the iFIT integration that allows you to stream workouts from Zwift and Hulu Max (subscriptions required). It's only downside is that there's no USB or headphone ports.

4. Comfort

The best treadmills are those that are comfortable to the person who is using them. Some people with larger bodies and longer strides may be more concerned about the dimensions of the deck and the amount of space available for walking or running. Others might be more interested in ergonomic features such as well-placed speed controls and incline controls. We also searched for additional features that make it more enjoyable to use the machine, such as front-facing speakers as well as an USB charging port and small 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 homes to store a full-sized treadmill. Fortunately, most of the models we tested fold or have support arms that reduce their footprint when they are not in use. We evaluated how easily they folded up and put away, how quickly they set up, and whether or not they were easy to move on firm surfaces.

If you plan to run many trails in the outdoors it is important to think about the maximum incline on the machine. This is crucial because it can help you prepare for more challenging outdoor climbs.

We looked for touchscreens that were responsive and an intuitive interface on each treadmill. We also examined the design of the treadmill and if it was compatible with fitness apps from third parties. This helped us determine whether each treadmill offered enough features to justify the price. Having a quality home treadmill can eliminate the hurdles of weather or costly gym memberships and can boost your motivation to stay in shape.

5. Safety

A treadmill can be a danger to equipment if not operated properly. It's a huge, heavy machine with a belt that can move at speeds of 10 or 12 miles per hour. People who use treadmills for walking and running should be careful not to lean on the hand rails, because this could throw off balance and lead to injury. The risk of tripping can also be caused by a clutter-filled space around the treadmill. Keep it clean and clutter free during use and when storing it.

The best treadmills will have safety features, such as a removable safety magnet attached to the belt. If a runner loses their balance, the magnet releases and stops the belt immediately. This feature can safeguard the runner as well as other people from serious injuries. This technology is usually found on treadmills home at gyms. Home owners should consider purchasing one to decrease the amount of accidents that occur with home exercise equipment.

It is crucial to pay attention to the "beep" when the treadmill belt begins moving. Don't jump off before the belt has stopped. Many people make the mistake of stepping off the treadmill before the belt has stopped. This can result in serious injuries. Also, be sure to familiarize yourself with where the emergency shut-off button is located and how to use it.

When you're done with the treadmill It's a good idea that you unplug and switch off the treadmill. This will minimize the chance of accidental use by visitors or children. It is also possible to keep it in a separate space with an open space above and around it to keep other people from accidentally touching it.
