6 Simple questions to narrow your choices
6 Simple questions to narrow your choices
With so many brands on the market these days, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed. This is why we have put together a buyer's guide to help narrow your choice before you even have to step foot on a machine.
Write down your answers and bring them in to discuss with one of your sales persons.
Application
1. What will you use the treadmill for? Walking, jogging, or running?
Recommendations:
2.0 Continuous-duty HP Motor - walking, jogging, occasional running
2.5+ Continuous-duty HP Motor - walking, jogging, running
3.0+ Continuous-duty HP Motor - ideal for runners
2. How much do you weight? (you don't have to tell us this)
It is very important not to exceed the weight capacity of the machine.
Space
3. Are you restricted on space?
If Yes, then you might consider a "space saving" fold up design.
If No, then a conventional, non-folding, unit would be the best way to go (non-folding are more sturdy).
Warranty
4. How often and for how long are you planning on using your treadmill?
For example, someone who plans on running a hour a day for the rest of their lives may need a treadmill that is higher quality and has a lifetime warranty; however, someone who only uses it to walk a few times a week won't need the same treadmill.
*Typically treadmills that are built with higher quality materials and components will have better warranty.
Features
5. What type of programs are you interested in?
If you haven't used a treadmill program before, if may be beneficial to jot down some goals you have in mind. For example, if you are trying to maintain a healthy heart, heart rate control programs may help you reach that goal.
Comfort
6. Do you have special comfort needs?
If yes, it is important to discuss these with your sales person…
Some treadmills have softer suspensions than others. So after narrowing your choices above to what you are looking for, lastly comes comfort. This can only be determined by getting on the machines and trying them. We recommend that you wear normal walking or running shoes and you are welcome to try our machines for a full 20min workout.
