Also before doing an in-depth search as to the kind of treadmill you want for your home, you should probably give some thought to just how much you and any others will be using it. Once you have made a thorough evaluation of potential usage, you can decide between a commercial treadmill and one built specifically for home use. Treadmills made specifically for fitness centers and professional gyms are obviously designed to take thousands of hours of nearly continuous usage. On the other hand, units that are made for home use generally have a smaller motor, less features, and are built to withstand fairly regular, but certainly not non-stop use. The cost difference of the two options will be substantial, but that should be factored into your evaluation. So how do you go about finding the right treadmill? If you are stuck on the idea of getting a tredmill made for heavy use, as are those found at fitness centers, be prepared to pay around $6,000.00. Another avenue to explore is the used fitness equipment market. For a fine used and refurbished commercial machine, you might get away with paying as little as $800-$1,500. Generally the used machines are not of current models, but of a previous generation of treadmills. Brands that continue to receive high ratings include Star Trac, Cybex, True and Precor. Whatever brand you decide, do a little investigating to insure that replacement parts for your model are still readily available. If you want a new treadmill for the home, but don’t want to pay the commercial prices, check out some of the offerings at local sporting goods stores. There are different levels of treadmills that are all motorized, but with varying degrees of horse power and capacity. Check out ProForm, Nordic Trac, Horizon and Precor for quality treadmills made for home use. Each of these brands offers multiple models, so check out which one makes sense for your anticipated level of usage. If a repair warranty is available for a few extra bucks, it might be worthwhile to add that to your purchase. Remember, cheap isn’t always better. And new doesn’t necessarily guarantee best results. A sound strategy is to try out different treadmills at different gyms and see which one, if any, suits you. You can also ask any salesperson for a lengthy demonstration if you are considering buying a made for the home treadmill from the store. As a final step, check out the consumer ratings on all the top brands and then make your decision. At the end of all the analysis, what you are investing in, more than anything, is your own health. Get a home treadmill and let the exercise begin.
