How to Find the Best Treadmills

A treadmill is one of the best fitness investments you can make for your home. It lets you work out on your schedule and not worry about the weather or the commute to the gym.

A good quality treadmill is also a great way to track your fitness progress over time. If you're preparing for a marathon in the near future or simply want to keep your fitness level, having a treadmill at home is a must.

1. Motor Vehicles

When shopping for a treadmill, look for one with an impressive motor. If you plan to run more than 20 miles per week, and engage in intense training, choose a machine with an all-time motor of 3.0 horsepower. The deck should be at least 60 inches in length. If you're a beginner, or only want to walk or jog occasionally, consider the model that has 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 basic model without a console. Some models can be folded for easy storage.

The Peloton Treadmill is a smart treadmill that has an elegant design and impressive array of features. It's more expensive than our top pick, but it combines an enjoyable running experience with a user-friendly touchscreen and a wide range of workouts available on-demand from live and virtual instructors. The incline controls, located on the handrails allow for easy adjustment of speed and inclines during exercise. The only cup holders on this treadmill are made of plastic and only hold water bottles.

Another treadmill worth looking into is the NordicTrack Commercial 2450. It's less expensive than the Peloton Treadmill, but it has a good set of features. With its iFit integration it allows you to access a variety virtual workouts designed by trainers all over the world. You'll require a subscription to access the app, which is included for 30 days and is $39 per month after that. The treadmill also features a large 22-inch touchscreen and a cushioned deck. It can reach speeds of up to 12 mph and has an incline range between -3 % and 15 percent for a more challenging exercise.

2. Design

The design of a treadmill is crucial as is any other piece of fitness equipment. If you're preparing for a race that is hilly you'll need to choose an exercise machine with the highest incline settings that mimic the terrain outdoors. If you like to follow the workout class, look for models with a large 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 exercises.

We also consider the ease of use of the buttons as well as the user-friendly interface. We also consider whether the treadmill is foldable and, if it is then how long it will take to do so. We also take into consideration if the treadmill requires assembly and whether the process is easy and quick.

3. Technology

The technology utilized in treadmills at home can make a big difference in how easy they are to use, and if there are any glitches. We take a look at touchscreens and intuitive controls, user-friendly interfaces and other tech features when scoring a machine in this category. We also look at whether a treadmill is portable and folds with the press of a button, which might be important for those who frequently move their treadmills around their home or have to squeeze them into tight spaces.

We were awestruck by the Nordictrack 1250 Treadmill's receptive speed and incline adjustments based on previous workouts, its wide belt with a comfortable cushion, the iFIT integration that allows access to virtual coaches, studio-style classes, Explore the World scenic runs, and off-treadmill exercise options (though it occasionally had issues with Bluetooth connectivity). The treadmill was highly rated due to its 22" color touchscreen that has sharp, eye-catching images and iFIT compatibility.

Another high-scoring treadmill is the ProForm Carbon T10. With a 10" screen, it offers on-demand live and on-demand iFIT running, walking and jogging videos. We love that the speed and incline changes are simple to navigate through the touchscreen, as are the ergonomically-placed buttons for quick adjustments as well as the iFIT integration that lets you 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 should be comfortable for those who use them. Those with bigger bodies and taller strides will want to focus on the size of the deck as well as the amount of space it provides for walking or running while others might be more about ergonomic features such as well-placed speed and incline control. We also scoured for features that make it a pleasure to use the machine, including front-facing speakers, the USB charging port, a tiny cooling fan, and plenty of places to store your water bottle or other accessories.

We also considered the storage capacity of each treadmill. Not everyone has enough space to accommodate a full-size machine. Fortunately, almost all of the treadmills we tested fold down or have support arms that minimize their footprint when they are not in use. We examined 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 firm surfaces.

If you're planning to do many of the difficult outdoor trails it is important to think about the maximum incline on the machine. This feature is important because it can help you prepare for more challenging outdoor climbs.

In terms of the technology that is on each treadmill, we searched for touchscreens that respond and easy to use during training, as well as an intuitive interface. We also looked at the design of the treadmill best and whether it was compatible with fitness apps from third parties. This helped us determine if each treadmill had enough features to justify the cost. Having a quality home treadmill can eliminate the hurdles of weather or expensive gym memberships and can boost your motivation to get in shape.

5. Safety

A treadmill could be a dangerous 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 of up to 12 miles per hour. Avoid leaning against the handrails when using a treadmill to run or walk. This can cause an injury and can cause your balance to be thrown off. A messy area around the treadmill could cause tripping hazards, so it's essential to keep it clean and clutter-free during use as well as 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 balance, the magnet detaches and stops the belt instantly. This feature is able to protect the runner as well as other people from serious injuries. This type of technology is typically found on treadmills in gyms. Home users should invest in one to reduce the number of accidents that can occur on home exercise equipment.

When you are using a treadmill at home, it is important to pay attention to the safety "beep" that sounds 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 cause injuries. Also, be sure to familiarize yourself with the location of the emergency shut-off button is located and how to use it.

It's also a good idea to ensure that the treadmill is shut off and unplugged once you're done. This will minimize the chance of unintentional use by visitors or children. It can also be kept in a separate location with a clear space above and around it to prevent others from getting it in the wrong way.
