What You Need to Know When Shopping For A Treadmill
However you have come to decision to buy a treadmill, it is critical you have a very good idea of exactly what you need in a treadmill. Too many people walk into a fitness store and let the salespeople talk them into buying more than they need, and of no fault to the salespeople, the buyer just has no idea how much they wanted to spend. There are four steps to consider that will determine what type of treadmill you need.
The first, and probably the most influential for many people, is the budget. How much you have available to spend will determine the range of features available to you. If you only have one thousand budgeted, then you will end up with a budget treadmill or none at all. Simple economics will tell you that the cool features you wish to have aren't free and the sooner you come to terms with what you can afford, the better your eventual buying decision.
An important factor that will affect what treadmill you should take home is the level of use the treadmill must endure. There is a huge difference in walking or light jogging in comparison to sprinting or marathon training. Treadmills are designed for heavy or light users, both in terms of use, and the individual's weight.
For some experienced treadmill users, certain types of features are a requirement. Many treadmills, from budget machines to high-end treadmills come with at least a minimum selection of features such as training programs for different types of workouts. Figure out what features are a necessity, desirable within the budget, and which are just outright ridiculous. Don't walk into the shop and risk letting a salesperson make decisions for you.
You don't have to buy immediately and most people find it easier not to talk to the same salesperson a second time, especially if you felt uncomfortably pressured with the first salesperson. You can look at many different models with different individual options. Compile the options you would like to take home.
The final consideration is the consistency of use. How heavily will the treadmill be used? A heavy user is someone who will run almost daily or multiple users sharing one machine so that it is used every day. We don't want an entry model breaking down after a couple months because it wasn't designed to be used twice a day.
If you plan for a buying mistake, make sure you have a very inclusive warranty included with your purchase. We didn't include warranty into the list of four because it is something that all treadmills in consideration should already have. Most treadmills come with measly 90 day warranties, if there is room in the budget, try to look for something longer. - 17273
