How To Shop 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.
Your budget is the first determinant of the eventual treadmill you will buy. Even if you need a $5,000 machine but only have $1,000 in the bank, well, I think you know how this ends. You can pick out all the features and quality measures but in the end you can afford what you can afford, and the closer you come to your true financial terms, the better prepared you will be to pick out your best match.
The next thing to consider is your level of activity on the treadmill. Will it be for walking, light jogging, sprinting or marathon running? There are major differences in the build of the machines and light users will need a much less powerful treadmill than someone who will use it for sprinting and a different still from a marathon runner.
Some people are already familiar with using a treadmill and know what features to expect. To these people, particular features are requirements not options. Almost every treadmill comes with some level of training programs built into it and contain different types of workouts. If you already did your homework and know what features are available in particular brands and models, you are less likely to get sold on something that no one in the history of treadmill runners ever use.
If ever you begin to feel pressured or uncomfortable with a salesperson, try to remember that you don't have to buy anything and the best thing to do really is to just walk away. Treadmills are expensive machines and big purchases shouldn't be made under pressure. Most people will agree that it is better to talk to a second salesperson at another time if you are uncomfortable with the first experience.
Consistency of use is the last consideration. Close to the level of activity that the treadmill will have to keep up with, consistency is just how often the treadmill will be used. If it will be shared with the household, then it might end up being used every day. Or some people just may run everyday themselves. Whatever the case, we don't want a treadmill that was designed for irregular use to breakdown.
One final point to make is the warranty of the treadmill. New treadmills will always come with some type of warranty even if it is a 90-day shrimp of a warranty. High-end models will usually come with better deals but sometimes it is economical to buy a budget treadmill, if that is all you need, and pay extra for an extension warranty. - 17274
