Best Price Treadmill: How To Save Hundreds On Your Next Treadmill

June 25th, 2008

If you’re in the market to buy a treadmill, your timing couldn’t be better. Treadmills are giving you more value for your money every year. In fact according to a recent Runner’s World article:

“Today’s treadmills are better than ever. In particular, most brands have improved their stability and controls. Meanwhile, they continue to offer a dazzling variety of features.”

If you’re buying a treadmill no doubt you want to get the best price. Having been researching and reviewing treadmills for over 3 years, I’ve seen some killer treadmill deals and some completely overblown, overpriced treadmills.

I’ve also seen the same treadmill offered at vastly different prices - sometimes the difference is as much as $800! And people are still buying the overpriced treadmills!

This is usually because they aren’t aware of where to look to get a treadmill deal. There are ways to getting the best price on a high quality home treadmill that many people don’t know about. So to help you save some money, here are 3 key tips to getting the best price on your treadmill:

#1 Buy Online

If you want to save money, buy online. This is the case with most items from computers to DVD’s to electronics and especially treadmills. Because when you buy online, the treadmill dealer doesn’t have to pay to rent a storefront, pay salespeople, pay hydro, heat, etc.

They can ship directly from their warehouse. This saves them a lot of money and in turn these savings are passed on to you in the form of lower prices.

Obviously you don’t want to just buy from anyone online. Make sure the online treadmill dealer offers secure ordering, prevalent contact information (phone numbers, email, online help, address), at least a 30 day money back guarantee and of course - high quality treadmills. It also helps if they offer customer and/or expert testimonials.

#2 Buy Direct From the Treadmill Brand Manufacturer

Buying direct from the treadmill manufacturer means you skip the middleman (i.e. the store), which always has to mark up an item to make their profit (and pay their employees, rent, etc.) There are several treadmill manufacturers that sell online direct to the consumer at wholesale prices and it’s a great way to get a brand name treadmill for a discount price.

Also, if you watch closely, many manufacturers will drop their prices even more when they are phasing out a certain treadmill. I’ve seen a $1500 treadmill go for $899 when the manufacturer was trying to close the model out.

Again, make sure these treadmill dealers offer secure ordering, prevalent contact information, at least a 30 day money back guarantee and high quality treadmills.

#3 Save on Shipping and Sales Tax

Whether it’s an online store or an online treadmill manufacturer, many online dealers offer you free shipping. Some offer free shipping all the time whereas others offer it at certain times of the month.

Shipping your treadmill can cost you as much as $200 - so why pay for it if you can get it free? I’ve yet to see an actual store offer free shipping on treadmills - it’s always an add on at the cash register.

Another area where you can save money is on sales tax. Many online dealers won’t charge you sales tax (depending on the state) which can also save you a considerable amount on your treadmill.

So those are 3 key ways to get the best price on your treadmill.

That’s it - follow these 3 tips and you’ll easily save hundreds on your next treadmill. Good luck and have fun!

Treadmill Buying: 5 Most Important Criteria For Treadmill Comparison

June 25th, 2008

Comparing treadmills is not an easy job as there is a great number to choose from. Some look very smart, others work very well, while there are a few that are a rare combination of style and performance. And then there is the affordability question. Not everyone can afford the treadmill s/he fancies.

And all this buying treadmill-talk boils down to “having the best one, one could have within one’s financial bracket.” The difficulty throughout is to decide the criteria on which to judge the treadmills. That could be a real task. I have identified 5 most important criteria to home in a good treadmill. Here is the list:

1. Cushioning
By cushioning we mean the capacity of the treadmill to absorb the pounding that you would give it during your workout. The belt and the deck of the treadmill must be tough and sturdy. The stronger the two, the better is the treadmill.

2. Stability
Stability is another important factor to be considered. One must consider how smooth the ride is. It should not be a jiggle or wobble, but must stand firm.

3. Accuracy
A treadmill must also be judged with respect to the accuracy of the actual distance covered. The more accurate the reading, the better is the machine.

4. Noise Factor
Next comes the noise factor. A treadmill should be the least noisy one. It should work soundlessly under your feet.

5. Warranty
The above list cannot be completed without adding the warranty factor. You need to take note of the warranty, machine is coming with. One should also consider the after-sales services in order to ensure that if something goes wrong with the machine, it is taken care of promptly and conveniently at home itself. Choose the machine manufactured by a company that has a help line to contact in case of trouble with the treadmill. Also, find out if the machine comes with a warranty covering the parts of the machine, especially the motor, which happens to be the most expensive part.

Once you have made comparisons on the basis of the criteria mentioned above, you would surely choose the best treadmill in the market. That too, within your budget!

Treadmill Guide: How To Compare Treadmills?

June 22nd, 2008

A wide variety of treadmills available in the market would perplex you greatly when you gear up to buy one for your home. And it is quite a task to choose a brand. In such a situation what comes handy to you, is doing comparison of features of various brands.

Once you compare treadmills you get to know relative advantages and disadvantages of various brands and models. If you are packed with pros and cons of different models, you can easily pick out best suited model for your home. And that too, within your budget!

You do comparing by making self effort as you need to find out the best possible way to do so. For you can’t keep knocking at every retailer or tread store to make acquaintance with all models and brands. In my view, going through consumer reviews is the best possible way to compare treadmills. Most of these reviews happen to be impartial in their analysis of brands, so you can rely on information about features and parts given by these reviews.

Instead, you can also seek suggestions of your physical fitness trainer.

Other option for you is to go through product reviews. Usually these reviews are extended by experts and physical fitness trainers who are rather adept in understanding advantageous features of a tread model. If a renowned and credible expert is making a statement about a model, you can have faith in him/her. They tend to critically examine features of a model. They often give rating to products.

Online probing could be an easiest way to do comparison. You can visit official sites of all leading manufacturers. From there you can download detailed features of models. Later on you can compare various brands with downloaded information.

While doing comparison you should look into key components and warranty period. If you have a fair idea of your budget comparison would be much easier to you.

An authentic way of comparing tread parts could trial exercises on two or three treadmills that you have short listed for yourself. You can go for one that gives you best possible comfort on trial workout.

You must not do cross genre comparison. A cheap treadmill should be compared with another cheap treadmill instead of a high quality treadmill. Similarly a home treadmill must not be compared with a commercial grade treadmill. Dissimilar comparisons would lead you to nowhere.

Having a fair idea of budget and needs happen to be a prerequisite of doing comparison of treadmills.
Go through comparison to buy best possible treadmill. Good Luck.

Manual Treadmill v/s Motor Treadmill: Which Is Your Pick?

June 20th, 2008

Shedding weight in no time happens to be a priority of most of the folks who are obese. In order to do so they can’t rely on jogging, walking and physical activities. It takes time to shed weight through these conventional exercises. That’s when treadmill comes handy as it reduces weight in very less time.

Most of the starters or beginners often seem to be in dilemma over choosing a manual treadmill or motor treadmill. But once you get fully acquainted with various pros and cons of manual as well as motor treadmill along with realization of your need, it becomes easy for you to choose between manual or motor treadmill.

Manual treadmills are particularly good for those who don’t require multiple programmed workouts of motorized treadmills. If you require treadmill for simple exercise need and don’t have great weight shedding plans you could be better contended with manual treadmills. Manual treadmills are available at very cheaper rates in comparison to motorized treadmills. So why waste your money in a machine that offers you more than what you require.

If you are the one in need of shedding fat accumulated around the hips and lower abdomen, manual treadmill come very handy. Manual treadmills require you to run or move fast in order to make the belt move. This entire exercise also requires you to exert pressure on deck through lower part of body. Once you do so your hips and abdomen gets desired weight shedding exercise.

But with the help of manual treadmills you can’t enjoy multiple work-outs. You are also needed to keep changing incline every time you go for an advanced exercise on manual treadmills. You are thus more likely to get annoyed with it. Exercising on manual treadmill for extended periods may affect your joints. Contrarily proper cushioning and self moving belts of motorized treadmills are less likely to affect your joints.

A general connotation that is usually attached with manual treadmills is that a manual treadmill burns out more calories as you exert extra pressure or energy to run belt. This is actually not true. That’s why manual treadmills are only recommended to beginners and folks who are in good physical condition.

I would suggest all those folks who are obese and are suffering from high cholesterol level to go for motorized treadmill as it would serve their needs much better than manual treadmill. Folks afflicted with cardiovascular complication should strictly avoid manual treadmills. For them motorized treadmills with a weight shedding display panel or panel depicting various heart related readings is advisable.

Those of you are already having lower joints problems must not opt for manual treadmill. They can enjoy exercising on properly cushioned motorized treadmills. That is, access your health condition well before you buy a treadmill for you.

Treadmill Reviews: Epic T60- A Walker’s Treadmill

June 15th, 2008

There are many treadmills in the market today. So it becomes difficult sometimes to make a good choice according to your needs. The best way however is to consult treadmill reviews. You can read both customer reviews as well as expert reviews. They are generally unbiased and help you make the right choice.

Today, I will discuss Epic T60 with you. This is a good pick for the walkers. My rating is 4/5. Here, goes the other details:

Epic T60 is rightly called as a machine with new limits, on the wheels of economy. Once you purchase this, you will have everything at your disposal- a strong built-up body, all necessary features and workout programs with a good amount of warranty time period. With an impeccable treadmill design, you will get all the workout comfort that you might be looking for in your treadmill machine.

This T60 model by Epic is predominantly an equipment which is best-suited to your home gym. It is light-weighted and needs less space to accommodate itself. It comes with state-of-the-art cushioned platforms that are adjustable in nature. Besides this, the surface is large enough for giving you a comfortable running or walking. The machine is capable of supporting 350 pounds of total body weight.

The most important part of any treadmill is the quality of its motor. The machine features a powerful and durable motor that can support both types of running: light and intense. The machine also provides you a general sports training feature, with the contemporary treadmill workouts. And not to forget, for your comfort the machine also features power inclination. So you can adjust the inclination, whenever you want, according to your needs.

Epic T60 comes to you with readout displays that help you to keep tab on the total time of your exercising, calories burnt while exercising, the speed and the total distance. The machine also has a pulse sensor grip that helps you to measure your pulse during the workout session. Besides this, another add-on feature that this treadmill machine carries is the presence of certain feedback displays.

The T60 model by Epic has pre-programmed workout programs installed on it. All these programs are customized. They flaunt the latest technology, which is known as iFit. iFit is one of the most developed interactive workout technology that is available in the sports industry today. iFit is user friendly and acts like a remote control of your machine.

Working of iFit is very simple. Sample this. The chest sensor, which is an option available on the T60 machine, can be controlled with the iFit technology. This will be done in accordance to your heart rate that will be displayed on the heart rate reader. The iFit technology will, like a trainer, provide you with guidance of a good workout program.

And to add on to this, this is without doubt a folding treadmill. The motor of the machine comes with a warranty of four years. All these things make Epic T60 treadmill a good buy for your fitness.

The Model T60 comes for $800 and thus provides true value to your money. But there are some downsides to this purchase as well. Some users are not satisfied with the quality of its parts. Perhaps that is the reason for its limited warranty.

Furthermore, this is a walking treadmill. For all joggers or runners, it is not the pick. They need to spend some where above $1,300.

Treadmill Accessories: Pick Up A Perfect Treadmill Mat

June 12th, 2008

Do you fall in the category of those people who are very much health conscious? Do you practice almost all the exercising plans to keep yourself healthy and fit? And for that matter…are you a proud owner of a treadmill or are planning to buy one very soon?

Well, owning a treadmill is not enough. With it you also require a good treadmill mat.

You must be wondering now what is the significance of a treadmill mat. Why does it holds so much importance? A treadmill mat is used under the base of your treadmill that protects the ground from its heavy impact which makes it an essential accessory.

You should understand one thing. While you are burning your extra fat by rigorous running on this machine, something bad might be happening to your expensive tiles and marbles underneath. Your floor is not only taking the heavy pounding that the treadmill is giving it, but it is also suffering from the grease, oil and other grime products your treadmill machine is spitting out.

A treadmill mat covers the whole area of the ground below your machine. Apart from this, it also absorbs the vibrations produced while you are running. Besides this, it also helps your treadmill to stay intact for much longer period, as all the vibrations would be absorbed. These vibrations not only damage the floor but also reverberate within the treadmill, thereby harming the important parts of your machine. Thus your machine wears down soon in absence of a mat.

The treadmill mat also prevents the carpet fibers to get stuck into the parts of your treadmill. So if you were planning to use your home carpet underneath your treadmill and thinking that this has solved your purpose, then you were wrong. A regular carpet would do no good to your carpet but harm it instead.

Treadmill mats are available in various shapes and sizes. The most important factor that determines the quality of a treadmill mat is its thickness and the material used in its making. The more thicker and larger the mat is, the better is its quality. The standard size of a treadmill mat is 6.5 feet x 3 feet. But larger treadmill machines demand larger mats. The usual thickness of a treadmill mat is 1/4 inch. But if you plan to put your machine to a heavy usage then you will be needing a thicker mat. You may also find mats that are 3/8 inch thick.

Treadmill Buyers Guide - The Easy Way To Buy A Treadmill

June 10th, 2008

Buying a treadmill? There are so many brands and features to choose from. How do you know which treadmill is best for you?

This treadmill buyers guide will tell you exactly what to look for when buying your treadmill. Knowing this will help you choose the best treadmill for your fitness needs (and it might even save you some money!)

So here’s what to look at when choosing a treadmill:

Motor:

The motor is the heart of your treadmill. Motor power is measured by horsepower - HP. Unless your treadmill has a strong motor (at least 1.5 horsepower) you can quickly wear it out, even if only moderately walking.

When looking at motors and horsepower, there are two different ratings:

- Continuous Duty (which is the rating for steady, continual 24 hour motor use), and
- Peak Duty (which is the maximum power potential, however it cannot be maintained).

When looking at treadmills you want to know the Continuous Duty motor power. It’s recommended that you go with at least a 1.75 HP continuous duty (CD) motor (preferably higher).

For runners or those planning heavy use of their treadmills, experts recommend at least a 2.5 - 3 HP continuous duty motor so that your motor doesn’t quickly burn out on you and end up costing you in expensive treadmill repairs.

Tip: Many cheaper treadmill brands will often give you the Peak Duty motor power (since it’s always higher than the Continuous Duty rating) just to impress unsuspecting buyers. Make sure you know the continuous duty rating when comparing units.

Frame:

There are two types of frames: aluminum or steel (NEVER plastic!). Steel is heavier than aluminum which potentially increases stability. However steel may also rust or corrode from sweat (unlike aluminum).

So there are advantages and disadvantages to both and it really boils down to a matter of personal choice. One thing to keep in mind however is that aluminum is more expensive than steel so it may be built into the price of the treadmill.

Belt:

Average treadbelt widths range from 17″ to 22″ and lengths from 51″ to 61″. Never go below a belt width of 16 ” and make sure that the belt is long enough to accommodate your stride.

If you are tall and/or have long legs, it’s better to go with a longer belt (54″ or more). Make sure you also consider anyone else who will be using the treadmill and their height as well.

Cushioning:

Treadmill cushioning is the ability of the treadmill to absorb the force of your step. Better cushioning means lower impact on your joints and ligaments. Cushioning is extremely important as poor cushioning can cause injury and muscle strain.

Many quality treadmills have their own form of cushioning system to protect you. Make sure your treadmill has a quality cushioning system to protect your joints over the long run.

Stability:

According to Runner’s World, stability is the most important quality in a treadmill. Stability is how smooth a ride the treadmill provides you. There should be no shaking or wobbling when you start to run.

Generally with treadmills you get what you pay for. For a high stability, high quality treadmill you should be willing to spend at least $1000, and definitely more if you plan on using it heavily. There’s no use spending $500-600 on something you’re scared to use.

Console/Display:

Consider both the layout and user-friendliness of the information displays and controls. This is largely a matter of personal preference since some people want to see a constant display of calories burned or miles covered,etc.

For safety concerns, make sure the speed and incline controls are prominently displayed and easy to reach.

Heart Rate Monitor/Control:

Again, this is largely a personal preference whether or not you want to monitor your heart rate. A heart rate monitor simply shows you at what rate your heart is beating while you work out.

Some people like to take a step up and get a heart rate control which can actually adjust the treadmill pace to keep you in your target fat-burning zone.

Warranty:

Treadmill warranties vary across the board and again, you usually get what you pay for. Don’t waste your money buying an added warranty when most quality treadmills include a good warranty in the price already.

Tip: The warranty gives you a good idea of the quality of parts used in building the treadmill (ever wondered why those cheap department store brands only offer you 90 day warranties?).

A quality warranty will include at least 10 years on the frame, 3 years on the motor, 2 years on parts and 1 year on labor. (Keep in mind that the motor is usually the most expensive to fix).

Price:

A quality motorized treadmill is going to cost you at least $1000. The quality of treadmills (cushioning, construction, parts, quality) drops substantially once you go below $800.

According to expert Gregory Florez, spokesperson for the American Council on Exercise, “Just about anything under $900 is not made to be used over the long haul.”

There are ways to save on your treadmill of course (buy direct, online wholesalers, etc.) but the bottom line is that a treadmill is an investment in your health. It will last you 10 years or more so you really want to invest in a quality unit built to last.

Where to Buy A Treadmill:

There are a number of options here but they mainly fall into 2 categories:

1) Store
2) Online

- Store Advantages: You can actually try out the treadmill.

- Store Disadvantages: You’ll probably pay more for the same treadmill you can get online simply because the store has overhead costs and salespeople to pay. Stores will also charge you for shipping and delivery and you’ll also pay sales tax.

- Internet Disadvantages: You can’t try out the treadmill

- Internet Advantages: You can save a lot of money buying direct from the manufacturer, sometimes $600 or more. You can usually get free shipping and save on sales tax too. Plus you have a larger selection of treadmill to choose from so you may be able to find a treadmill that is more suited to your needs.

It really comes down to what you’re comfortable with.

So that’s it! You now know what to look for when buying a treadmill. Just remember to take your time and select a treadmill that fits your fitness goals. And you’re guaranteed to find the best treadmill for you.

Treadmill Guide: Take Good Care Of Treadmill Belts

June 8th, 2008

Treadmill belts make an important part of treadmills. Most often folks in order to save a few dollars end up buying a treadmill with belts that need an early replacement. Wherein, this replacement can cost you more than what you could have spent on buying a treadmill with improved quality belt.

Therefore, while buying a treadmill you must ensure that length and width of the belt is proper to accommodate you. Better go for a trial exercise on the treadmill you are likely to buy. You must also check quality of belt against your comfort level while on workout. In fact it is advisable to go for extensive examination of belt by doing trial workouts of different levels with varying speed and incline. Once you feel comfortable with belt in all such workouts you can strike a deal for that treadmill.

Length of belt in most of the treadmills usually varies between forty five to fifty inches. Normally width is around fifteen to sixteen inches. However, a very obese as well as tall person may feel uncomfortable with this length and width. They may look for an ordered treadmill for desired length and width.

You should constantly keep track of your belt’s condition and you must not continue working out on an uncomfortable and frayed treadmill belt. Once belt starts getting thin you should be extra cautious and before it destroys deck of your treadmill you should better replace it.

If you happen to be the owner of a branded treadmill, use facility of replacement belts offered by the company. If you happen to replace your belt within warranty period, the company would offer you a free tread belt.

You should also keep on using belt lubricant. Treadmill belt lubricants could be very effective in minimizing normal wear and tear in your treadmill. If you want to keep your treadmill deck safe you must not give up using lubricants for belts. Constant use of lubricants for belt would increase life of deck and belt. But these belt lubricants should be strictly taken as per the recommendation of treadmill producers. As, all lubricants don’t go well with all types of belts.

One point of caution, avoid more than required lubrication of tread belt. By excess lubrication you may end up damaging motor of your treadmill and once this vital part gets disturbed your treadmill would never work properly unless you replace the motor.

So, all folks who do exercise on treadmill should be extremely careful with the care and handling of treadmill parts and treadmill accessories.

Treadmill Buying: How To Read Treadmill Reviews And Compare Treadmills?

June 8th, 2008

Any number of treadmill comparisons can be found on the Internet and elsewhere, but none of them can really be of much help if you wish to depend upon them to pick your next treadmill or the first one. For, you have to depend upon your own comparison to ensure that you get a machine that is best suited to your purpose and does not compel you to expand your budget even a small bit.

By saying this, I do not intend that there are no good treadmill reviews or consumer reports available. There certain are, but you still have to make your own comparisons because your requirements are your own and it is only you who could decide whether or not a treadmill can be a part of the health scheme you have designed for yourself.

The first thing that needs to be considered is the motor of the treadmill. A treadmill is as good as its motor. This is the heart of the treadmill and also its soul. Consider it very carefully because it is not only the most important part but also the most expensive part of a treadmill.

You need to compare the size and quality of the motor in a treadmill. Once you are satisfied with it, compare the power it could generate. Find out how much of horsepower could the motor supply at peak duty as well as at continuous duty. Peak duty means the maximum power generated by the machine for a short duration of time while continuous horsepower means the amount of power the machine can consistently manage.

While buying a treadmill you should consider the continuous duty instead of the peak duty. If you want to use the machine for running, it is around 2.0 HP to 2.5 HP of continuous duty that you would need. But if you just want to have walk, around 1.0 HP to 1.5 HP should be sufficient.

After the motor, it is the speed that you must consider. A speed of around 10 miles per hour is enough for seasoned athletes. Running surface is also an important aspect of a treadmill, and you decide on this according to your height and overall physical structure. Do not compromise on the running surface because nothing is more bothersome than “not having enough space to run.”

Also consider the incline facility in a treadmill. This feature is there to make your walk or run harder by elevating the surface because one cannot run faster than a certain speed. The only way out is to elevate the surface. Consider how smoothly the elevation of the surface takes place. Most of the machines that come with this facility provide ample incline.

Last comes, the control panel. Now, this part can provide you the feedback regarding the number of calories burnt; the speed at which you ran and the distance you covered. These are not indispensable part of the machine and should be given at least the little importance. A carefully purchased treadmill would be a part of your exercise regimen for a very long time. So, make a wise decision after considering all the aspects.

When Buying A Treadmill: Don’t Fall Prey To Cheaper Treadmill Trap!

June 8th, 2008

Folks now a days can’t live without keeping themselves in good shape as fitness requirement has soared not only for health reasons but also to appear pretty or handsome. In order to meet their need what comes handy to them, is treadmill. Even if a fitness freak is under financial constraint, he/she would long to possess a home treadmill. That’s when they crave for cheaper treadmills and look for a cheaper model to fulfill their exercise needs.

There are host of cheaper treadmills available in the market that could serve normal exercise needs. If you really have some budget constraint and are likely to postpone buying a treadmill because of it, then only I would suggest you to go for a cheaper treadmill. Otherwise there is no point buying a cheaper treadmill as it would come with lesser stability and probably with low continuous duty horsepower of motor.

If you happen to be a beginner, you might be apprehensive of workability and usefulness of the equipment so you are very unlikely to go for a treadmill offered at an exorbitant price. In that case you may end up buying a cheap manual treadmill. Even in less than five hundred dollars you can buy a manual treadmill. This is quite affordable for a person with an average income. You may even go on buying motorized treadmills that would come within a range of five hundred to thousand dollars.

Although these cheaper treadmills could meet your normal exercise needs, these can’t be used for rigorous workouts. The first thing that would suffer wear and tear would be the belt of a treadmill. There exist a possibility that you would be fed up with repairing and replacement of a cheaper treadmill parts.

While buying a cheaper treadmill you must be contended with the fact that although it could serve your needs it won’t offer you features that you would have enjoyed on a quality treadmill of a superior brand. Now a days, a bluffing is prevalent in the market that could be better termed as cheaper treadmill trap.

Producers of low quality treadmill are disseminating this message to users that low cost models offered by them possess same features and workout comfort that is offered by superior branded models. These manufacturers have no intention but to deceive you with falsifications and exaggerations about their tread models. So better beware of this cheaper treadmill trap.

While buying a cheap model you should check workability of motor in terms of continuous horsepower and you should also look into proper cushioning. In order to examine these features you may go for trial exercise.

Strike a better deal for a cheap treadmill to meet your short run exercise needs.
