Product Information

Motor: Most brands are transparent about their motor’s horsepower but some (cough, Bowflex) don’t disclose on the treadmill’s spec sheet. For reference, you should look for at least a 3.0 CHP motor if you plan to run or sprint regularly. If there’s another apartment or bedroom below the treadmill’s room, adding a treadmill mat will significantly deaden the transmitted noise in these situations.

The console isn't the fanciest, but it is simple to use and shows all your running stats, including time, speed, distance and cals burned, plus the quiet motor means you won’t disturb family or flatmates during early morning training sessions. For instance, a session might include short bursts of sprinting followed by a slower pace or walking. The intensity variations help burn calories effectively, improve cardiovascular endurance, and boost metabolism over time. Throw on a weighted vest to make it even harder. Users can choose a moderate speed that allows them to sustain the activity comfortably, making it ideal for those aiming to increase their endurance gradually. Endurance runs are physically beneficial and provide an opportunity for mental focus and discipline as you work towards covering longer distances or durations. Budget - Always an important consideration. Try not to get too carried away and remember that what’s most important is that you invest in a treadmill that’s right for your needs specifically. If you buy something too sophisticated and overly complicated you may end up never using it and certainly not making the most of those bells and whistles features that you paid for.Pre-set workouts or intervals to help you vary your run. These can be handy because they allow you to just set and forget (without making adjustments and pressing buttons while moving). Despite the folding design (it was a cinch to move around and store away), the robust steel frame gives it a high-quality feel and it was surprisingly sturdy and smooth to run on. Adjusting the speed and incline was faff-free with the large user-friendly buttons, and thanks to the quiet motor, it’s a good choice for flats. The Pro-Form Trainer 9.0 treadmill has garnered praise for its cutting-edge features that cater to both seasoned athletes and beginners. If you’re short on space, you’ll love that this treadmill folds completely in half to just 10 inches wide (another major plus of the small frame). Unlike some treads that fold into a still-bulky silhouette, this one can easily fit under beds and couches for storage. I found folding down the handlebar and console and rolling this machine onto its wheels simple and doable without an extra person, too.

What our writers say: “Its display is captivating, its subscription service is incredibly robust and the design contains every single premium feature you could ever hope for,” says contributor Cassandra Brooklyn in her review of the Bowflex Treadmill 22.“Whether you’re logging a few miles to stay in shape through winter or training for a marathon, the Treadmill 22 will most certainly meet your needs.” Before you invest in a treadmill of your very own, consider perusing the different types of treadmills. There’s a good chance you’ll be in the market for one of the traditional, full-size models above, but other versions exist—like under-desk treadmills, folding treadmills and curved treadmills—that might meet your unique needs. Motorized Treadmills One thing buyers also tend to overlook is the height. You’ll want at least 15” inches above your own height when standing on the treadmill. So, if you’re 5’10” (70 inches), make sure your ceiling height is enough to accommodate 85 inches, plus the height of the treadmill belt. This is especially important if you’re planning to use your treadmill for running.Let us introduce you to the shiny new Sprint-8 Pro from our pals at JTX. Like the popular Sprint-9, it’s a semi-commercial folding treadmill designed for endurance training at home, but according to the brand, the design is more compact. To give you the very best foldable treadmills, we scoured the internet for reasonably priced and efficient best-rated foldable treadmill models. We also talked with our in-house testers who’ve let us know which models to pay attention to and which ones to avoid. Our main focus was on budget-friendly machines, but we did include a couple of pricier models for those looking for all the bells and whistles of modern folding treadmills. How We Tested

To come to a stop, place your hands on the handrails and feet on the frame to the sides of the belt. Hit the stop button and allow the belt to come to a complete stop.

One of our in-house testers has been using the Horizon 7.8 AT for months, so he let us know about the pros and (very few) cons of this particular machine. The rest of the treadmills were not tested but each one was vetted for safety, performance, and ease of use. Max Vibration Fitness uses whole body vibration technology and accelerated body resistance programs to contract and relax every muscle in your body to give you an intense, supercharged workout that leaves you looking and feeling great! And the best part is that there’s no exertion, it does all the work for you. To maximize your workout, learn the different functions of the machine you're using. If you use a treadmill at the gym, ask a trainer to walk you through its functions before you hop on since it's not always apparent at first glance. Many treadmills have: A noisy treadmill is not ideal if you share your space or have people living above or below you. Opting for a reduced noise option, free of creaks and squeaks, will not only keep your neighbors happy if you live in a multi-apartment building, but will make for a more enjoyable workout. Dimensions Noise: Treadmills can—and often do—make a lot of noise, especially for your downstairs neighbors (if you live in an apartment) or housemates (if you live in a multistory house). If you think this might be an issue, consider a treadmill mat to help minimize the noise. As the name implies, they’re simple and usually affordable mats designed to deaden the sound and vibration underneath a running treadmill.
