Naturally, there’s the classic treadmill for your home gym, but then there are also treadmills for alternate needs. If you live in a small space, try a foldable walking treadmill that you can tuck away. If you want to stay active while working, check out an under-desk treadmill.
Other factors to consider are a treadmill’s weight limit, whether or not it has an incline option and its maximum speed. Also consider whether you want a basic treadmill experience or you want one that pairs with an app for fitness classes. Some treadmills accommodate tablets while others don’t.
Finally, consider the treadmill’s shock absorption. Treadmills that absorb more shock are better for your joints.
Treadmills can easily run for several thousand dollars. But if that doesn’t fit within your budget, then there are more affordable desk and folding models available as well. We have treadmills for all budgets linked below, and best of all, they’re on sale now.
