Tips on Buying a treadmill?
The Treadmill Motor - The motor is the core component of the treadmill - and often the most costly part to repair or service. Treadmill motor power is measured in horsepower. For runners or frequent treadmill users, choose a treadmill that has a horsepower between 2.0HP -2.5 HP.
Treadmill motors come with different quality parts and sizes. To make a comparison between two treadmills, look at the warranty offered. Some come with a 90 day warranty right while others come with a lifetime warranty. Considering treadmill repairs can be quite expensive, it might be better to go with a quality treadmill with a longer warranty, rather than a cheap treadmill with a limited warranty.
Folding Treadmills Vs a Non Folding Treadmill - Folding treadmills can be stored more easily when not in use, thus helping you save space. Non folding treadmills are often heavier, however can be more stable and provide a smoother running experience.
Treadmill Incline – A lot of people love fitness treadmills that offer the incline function. Treadmill incline usually begins at around 10% and can go right up to 15% or more. If you want to add variety in your treadmill exercise workout, having the ability to add resistance via the incline function can help you achieve faster results. The only way to increase resistance with a treadmill with no incline is to run faster.
Treadmill Cushioning – The cushioning of the treadmill is also really important when deciding to buy or hire a fitness treadmill. You don’t want to feel like you are running on concrete and potentially cause injury. Buy a treadmill with cushioning that absorbs the force of your step. A good idea is to visit your local fitness equipment store and test out several treadmills.
Treadmill Stability – A good quality treadmill should not shake when you are jogging. Sometimes cheap treadmills are that low in stability, you feel like the treadmill is going to fall over the as you increase the speed. Make sure you know the limitations of the exercise treadmill you are buying so you minimise the risk of an injury occurring.
Treadmill Price - Treadmill prices vary depending on the make, model, size, speed and weight of a treadmill. With treadmill sales always being promoted by fitness equipment suppliers, you may find a discount treadmill that suits. As a general guide, treadmills range from around $400 for a cheap treadmill, $800 - $1500 for a decent home fitness treadmill, right up to $15,000 - $20,000 for a commercial treadmill.
