How to Find the Best Treadmills

A treadmill is one of the best fitness investments you can make for your home. It allows you to exercise at your own speed, 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 level over time. Whether you're training for a marathon in the near future or simply want to maintain your fitness level, having a treadmill at home is a must.

1. Motor Vehicles

When shopping for a treadmill, look for one with an efficient motor. If you plan to log upwards of 20 miles per week, and performing high-intensity interval training, choose one that has an uninterrupted 3.0 horsepower motor and a deck that's 60 inches long. If you are a beginner or simply need to walk or run occasionally, consider an option with an engine that's between 1.75 and 2.5 horsepower.

Choose if you want an ultra-modern treadmill that comes with a touchscreen as well as virtual classes, a console, or a simple model without one. Some models fold to make it easier to store.

For a sleek treadmill with a sleek style and a wide array of features, take a look at the Peloton Treadmill. It's more expensive than our top pick but it offers smooth running and an intuitive touchscreen. It also offers numerous workouts that are available on demand from instructors who are live and virtual. The incline controls are placed on the handrails and quick dials make it easy to alter the speed and incline while working out. Unfortunately, the only cup holders are plastic and are only able to hold water bottles; there's no fan on this treadmill.

The NordicTrack Commercial 2450 is another treadmill that is worth a look. It's more affordable than the Peloton Treadmill but has a number of great features. Its iFit compatibility allows you to access a variety of workouts in virtual form from trainers across the globe. You'll require a subscription to access the app, which is free for 30 days and is $39 per month after that. The treadmill also comes with a large 22-inch touchscreen and a cushioned deck. It can reach a maximum speed of 12 mph and offers an incline adjustment range from -3% to 15 percent for a more challenging workout.

2. Design

Like any other piece of fitness equipment, the way a treadmill is designed is important. If you are training for an outdoor race that has a hill, you will want to choose a treadmill with the highest incline setting. If you enjoy following along with a workout class, choose models with a big screen and iFIT compatibility which allows you to access classes in the studio, virtual coach programs, Explore the World scenic runs and other off-treadmill workouts.

Other design factors that we take into consideration are adjustable speed and incline controls (on the handrails and the lower console) which adjust to your needs without having to touch the touchscreen, easy-to-use buttons, and a slick interface. We also take into consideration whether the treadmill can be folded and, if it is the case, how long it will take to do so. We also consider whether the treadmill needs to be assembled and if that is simple and easy to do so.

3. Technology

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

The Nordictrack 1250 Treadmill Best impressed us with its rapid speed and incline adjustments in accordance with 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 difficult). This treadmill was rated highly due to its 22" color touchscreen with attractive, sharp graphics and the iFIT compatibility.

Another treadmill that scores high is the ProForm Carbon T10. With a 10" screen, it has live streaming and on demand iFIT walking, running, and jogging video. We like the ergonomically placed buttons that allow for quick adjustments, as well as the iFIT integration, which lets you to stream workouts via Zwift or Hulu Max with a subscription. It's only downside is that there's no USB or headphone ports.

4. Comfort

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

We also considered the storage capacity of each treadmill. Not everyone has enough space in their home to fit a full-size treadmill. Fortunately, the majority of treadmills we tested fold down or have support arms to reduce their footprint when not in use. We evaluated how easily they folded and put away and set up, how quickly they could be set up and whether they were easy to move on solid surfaces.

If you plan on running many hills outdoors, you must take into consideration the maximum slope. This is an important feature that can help you prepare for more difficult outdoor climbs by allowing you to simulate the ascent using the treadmill.

We looked for touchscreens that were responsive and a user-friendly interface on each treadmill. We also looked for a non-slip appearance and whether the treadmill was compatible with fitness apps from third parties. This helped us determine if each treadmill offered enough features to justify the price tag. A quality treadmill at home can help you overcome the obstacles of weather conditions and costly gym memberships. It can also help you stay motivated to keep your fitness levels up.

5. Safety

If not used correctly the treadmill could be risky. It's a heavy, large machine with a belt that is moving at speeds of up to 12 miles per hour. Be careful not to lean against the handrails while using the treadmill to walk or run. This can result in injury and can cause your balance to be thrown off. Tripping hazards can also be caused by a messy space around the treadmill. Keep it clean and clutter-free during the use of it and when storing it.

The best treadmills come with safety features like a magnetic safety that can be removed and attached to the belt. If a runner loses their balance, the magnet detaches and stops the moving belt instantly. This feature can protect the runner as well as others from serious injuries. This technology is usually used on treadmills in gyms. Home users should invest in one to lessen the risk of accidents that can occur on home exercise equipment.

When you are using a treadmill at home, it's crucial to listen for the safety "beep" that goes off when the belt begins to move and not jump off until the belt has stopped. Many people make the mistake of trying to save time by jumping off before the belt has completely stopped, which can result in injuries. Be certain to know where the emergency shut-off switch is located and how to use it.

It's important to ensure that the treadmill is shut off and unplugged after you're done with it. This reduces the chance of your children or visitors accidentally turning it on and using it. It can also be kept in a separate location with an open space above and around it to stop other people from getting it in the wrong way.
