That's why we're working hard to help provide valuable content to guide our customers through their research and buying journey, after all, there is 'no one size fits all' when it comes to choosing a treadmill.

Treadmill Types

When you're shopping for an exercise bike, it's important to know the different types available. There are three main types of exercise bikes: upright bikes, recumbent bikes, and the spin bike (or indoor cycles). Each type has its advantages and disadvantages.

Folding Treadmills


The ability to fold away the running deck of a treadmill and even wheel it into a corner, cupboard or storage room is the key selling point of folding treadmills. This space-saving functionality is hugely popular among residential treadmill buyers, with the ability to conserve space particularly popular as more people move into apartments where floor space is at a premium.

Curved Treadmills


Curved treadmills are manual treadmills with no motor; the running motion and energy from the user drives the treadmill belt, with each strike of the foot providing downward force that works with gravity to move the foot and belt down and backwards. This motion simulates the natural stride pattern, reducing impact to joints while increasing muscle engagement in a manner that provides a comfortable running experience as well as enhancing training.

Commercial Treadmills

Commercial treadmills are designed to withstand continuous and high-use environments and are therefore built with high-quality components. They have a larger, more powerful motors and an extra-strong frame to accommodate users of any type.

Commercial treadmills also have more features than a home model, such as more advanced deck/cushioning technology and more advanced workout programs and entertainment options; many commercial treadmills even have TV screens.

Of course, the key for any commercial treadmill is the commercial-grade warranty. With better durability also comes a longer service life and better support from the manufacturer.

Treadmill Features To Consider

Read more...

Motor

The motor is one of the most important aspects of a treadmill. It needs to be powerful enough to handle your speed and weight, but not so powerful that it's noisy or uses up a lot of electricity. The harder a motor has to work, the noisier it is, the more power it uses, and the faster it wears out; therefore it's important to over-compensate on motor size so that it can easily handle users of any weight.

Motors can range from 1 horsepower up to 5 horsepower or more, if you're tossing up between treadmills, always go for a more powerful motor if your budget allows.

Deck Size

The size of the deck on a treadmill, both the length and also the width, is another key thing to consider. A longer deck will allow you to run more comfortably and allow you to work on your leg stride, while a wider deck will give you a better feeling of space as you run.

In fact, its best to avoid narrow belts if you can as these can often give a feeling of claustrophobia. Of course, if space is a big concern for you, then a shorter and narrower deck may be more appropriate.

Cushioning

When your foot steps on the treadmill deck, it can create an impact force on the deck that is more than twice your body weight. This energy is then transmitted back up your leg and through your joints – unless a shock absorption system is present to dissipate some of that force.

Treadmill cushioning is designed help dissipate some of the crushing force your body is sending to your joints and spine with every step. More advanced treadmills take cushioning from a simple suspension/spring system to adjustable cushioning and even multi-zone shock absorption systems that can sense your feet and adjust automatically.

This is an important feature to look for if you're concerned about joint health, as it can help you stay active for longer and reduce risk of injury. Deck cushioning can also make your workout more comfortable, so you can focus on your form and breathing.

Incline

If you're looking for a way to add a little extra challenge to your treadmill workouts, then consider getting a treadmill with a built in incline feature. This can help you burn more calories and tone your legs and glutes. Many treadmills have an adjustable incline, so you can find the perfect angle for your fitness level.

But be aware that cheaper models under $1000 generally offer a manual incline (where you set the incline yourself); more expensive models have a motor that can adjust the incline for you at the click of a button.

Max weight capacity

The weight capacity of a treadmill is an important consideration for obvious reasons. Treadmills are built to meet their stated weight capacity and use materials and construction methods to suit. The higher the weight capacity is, the better its build quality also is.

The steel used in the frame is a stronger type and often thicker; bolts are bigger and stronger; welds and joins are more robust and done with more quality assurance. All of these factors to make a stronger machine with a higher weight capacity do also mean that the cost of manufacture is higher too.

When considering the user weight, its strongly advisable to give yourself a buffer as well. For instance, if you weigh 95kg and you're considering a treadmill rated to 100kg, it's a smart move to go for one that's rated to 120kg or more as this will give you additional safety and stability.


Workout programs

When looking for a treadmill, it is important to consider the workout programs that are available. Most treadmills come with pre-set workout programs that offer a variety of options to keep you motivated. You can usually choose from programs that focus on speed, distance, or time, and many machines also have heart rate control programs that help you stay within your target heart rate zone.

Some treadmills even offer virtual reality (VR) programs that let you exercise in exotic locations or with famous trainers. If you can't seem to find a program that interests you, many treadmills also allow you to create your own custom workout. This is a great way to keep your workouts fresh and varied, and it can help you better reach your fitness goals.

Console/Screen

Most treadmills come with a few basic preset programs, such as distance, time, and calories burned while others also have more advanced fitness programs for specific goals or training modes. Some also have heart rate monitors.

Displays can vary in size and complexity. Larger consoles may be backlit and easier to read, while smaller ones may be simpler to use but display only limited data. Additionally, the screen technology can vary widely, from basic LCD displays to touchscreens with built-in TVs.

When choosing a treadmill, consider whether you're just looking for a simple machine that will get the job done, or whether the more advanced features will help you reach your goals and stay motivated!


Construction quality

When it comes to choosing a treadmill, construction quality is key. A well-built machine will be more durable and stable, making your workouts more effective.

Look for treadmills with sturdy frames and thick decking - this will help reduce noise and vibration. A great proxy for good build quality is weight capacity - higher weight capacity generally means a more well-made machine with stronger components.

You can also get an idea of the construction quality by the length of warranty offered; a lifetime frame warranty means the manufacturer is extremely confident in the quality of their machine, while a one year warranty indicates the construction quality may be poor.


Entertainment Options

The best treadmills have a number of different options for entertainment, so you can stay motivated and engaged while you work out. Many new models come with built-in TVs or tablet holders, so you can watch your favourite shows or movies as you walk or run.

Some also have speakers so you can listen to music or audio books. If you want to go completely high-tech, look for a model with virtual reality training programs that let you run through exotics places like the French Alps, Italian Countryside, Southeast Asian Forests and famous landmarks. You'll be so immersed in your workout that you won't even realize you're sweating!


Warranty

All our treadmills come with a warranty however there can be larger differences between warranties.

Home warranties will generally range from 6 months to several years, with more expensive machines generally having the best warranties. However treadmills with home warranties are not valid for commercial use. This is because the machine is designed for low intensity use of 1-2 hours per day on average whereas gym environments requires them to be used constantly.

Many treadmills also come with commercial warranties, which is important for anyone needing a treadmill for their commercial gym, hotel/office or PT studio. 


Connectivity

Many medium to high-end treadmills come with some form of connectivity, whether it be Bluetooth, ANT+ or Wifi. This allows you to pair your treadmill with a smartphone or tablet and use apps to track your progress, set goals, and more.

Some treadmills even have built-in displays that can link with virtual reality training programs such as Zwift to really take your training to a whole new level.

 

Portability/Storage

Treadmills generally come in two variations, full-sized treadmills (such as commercial treadmills) and folding treadmills (for home use).

Full-size treadmills cannot fold and are generally not designed to be easily moved around. The convenience of a folding treadmill is that it can be stored in a small space in your home and pulled out when you're ready to use it. Folding treadmills can either fold up, which makes them easily able to be stored in a corner of the room or a cupboard; or fold flat, so they can be stored under a bed or against a wall.
