Treadmill Comparison - 3 Things You Must Know When Shopping For Treadmills
By Kathryn ONeill
Buying a treadmill? You'll probably be making several treadmill comparisons when doing your research. Here are 3 things you must know when comparing treadmills in order to find the best one for you.
#1 Compare Apples To Apples
Don't compare prices between treadmills online and treadmills sold at a store. They are two different marketplaces, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.
When I was selling a NordicTrack treadmill many years ago, the gentleman buying it had gone online and seen the same model for less. I had to explain to him that this price was an online price only. Buying a treadmill online can sometimes be considerably cheaper, depending on the manufacturer, sales, closeouts, etc.
So when comparing treadmill prices side by side, make sure you compare online treadmills to online treadmills and store treadmills to store treadmills.
Also make sure you're comparing the same models. It sounds obvious but some treadmill brands have so many similar sounding treadmills in their line-up it's easy to get confused!
#2 Know the Key Ingredients to a Quality Treadmill
Make sure you know the top 4 key ingredients to a quality treadmill:
- Motor Power
- Stability
- Warranty
- Cushioning
Your motor is the heart of your treadmill and adequate motor power is extremely important. Most experts recommend at least a 1.5 HP motor although I prefer a 2.0 HP or higher to ensure you don't burn the motor out (and then have to pay costly repair fees).
Stability ensures that your treadmill will not shake or wobble when you start to run on it.
Your warranty will protect your investment and quality treadmills will include a warranty. (You shouldn't have to pay extra for a treadmill warranty - unless you want to, of course!)
Cushioning is the ability of the treadmill to absorb the force of your step. Higher cushioning means lower impact on your joints and ligaments. Cushioning is extremely important as poor cushioning can cause injury and muscle strain
#3) Know What YOU Need When Reviewing Treadmills
Many people get sold on all of the 'cool' features of the treadmill - but don't ever consider if they'll really use them.
For example we'd all love to own a commercial-grade, luxury treadmill - but for many people, it's MORE than they need. On the other hand, a serious runner might actually need that kind of stability and cushioning in a treadmill.
If you don't really care about 30 workout programs, why pay extra for them? If you know your 6'2" son will be running on the treadmill, you need to compare treadmills that offer a longer running belt and adequate user weight capacity.
By knowing what you you need before comparing treadmills, you'll save yourself a lot of time and frustration.
So there you have it - keep these 3 points in mind when making treadmill comparisons and you'll be well on your way to finding the best treadmill for your personal workout needs!
