Treadmill Consumer Guide

When looking for a treadmill consumer guide, you won't have to look much farther than the Internet, or the nearest bookstore's magazine display. Just a quick online search delivered eleven different experts, folks who used their knowledge of athletics and exercise regimens to produce their own unique treadmill consumer guide.

Prevention Magazine, that well-known holistic harbinger of health, provides its own treadmill consumer guide, recommending treadmills at the low end of the price scale. The four $800-$1500 machines recommended in its study include two manufactured by Smooth, as well as the ProForm 950 SEL and the HealthRider T90.

Advanced Fitness, a site devised by manufacturer Smooth Treadmills offers its own treadmill consumer guide, which, while jam packed with helpful insight by users themselves, may not be all that objective. Users were asked to rate from 1-10 nine areas of the treadmills they used. As their part in the treadmill consumer guide, they rated cushioning, smoothness, noise level, stability, warranty and the level of service offered by the manufacturer. In this treadmill consumer guide the equipment was divided into three price ranges - economy, mid-range and premium. What brings this study into question is the fact that one of Smooth's treadmills earned top honors in all three categories.

Epinions.com provides an especially informative treadmill consumer guide. Rather than focusing on the "best of the best" Epinions' offers information about features and quality for more than 300 treadmills.

If you're a serious athlete who wants to know about high-end made-touch workout equipment you'll want to peruse the Runner's World treadmill consumer guide. Here you'll find reviews of top notch but costly models such as Nordic Track 8600, True's 540 HRC, the Pro Elite by PaceMaster and Precor's M9.33.
