2020 Treadmill Reviews

Sole Fitness

Sole Fitness treadmills are built to last. They deliver quiet, durable machines that are ideal for running or walking. These are heavy duty machines with a strong motor and many different models to choose from. While priced a little higher than some other models, you can take comfort in their solid warranty and return policies.

Horizon

Horizon Fitness is a maker of home fitness equipment that offers a wide selection of home treadmills. Their ViaFit and Passport technology brings treadmills into the future with online workout tracking and video footage to add to the workout experience. The impressive selection of features and models ensures that the perfect machine is available for anyone in the market for a treadmill for home.

Xterra

Xterra Fitness offers exercise equipment shoppers a small but diverse selection of treadmills. Shoppers will also like the easy storage option with this line and the affordable yet quality products. Other points of interest include fingertip controls and a sturdy ride. Keep an eye on the warranty as that varies per model.

Proform

Unique to Proform is their ability to provide a solid treadmill in the lower price range. We know that a lot of exercisers out there are concerned with their budget and we were excited to find a brand that fits that need. But, if you consider yourself a more serious fitness enthusiast, a seasoned runner, or expect your treadmill to receive heavy usage, the lower end models might not fit your needs.

Bowflex

Bowflex is well known as an expert in the home fitness equipment industry, and what it does, it does very well - including their treadmill. You'll get a great variety of tech features, inclines up to 15%, and a good warranty/refund period. The biggest drawback to buying a treadmill from Bowflex is the lack of options: they currently offer only two models to choose from.

Life Fitness

LifeFitness is one of the most recognized brands for fitness equipment. Their treadmills are top-of-the-line and are frequently seen in fitness centers and home gyms alike. And, as you might expect with a popular brand, prices are considerably higher than their lesser-known competitors - including a restocking fee of up to $500 if you choose to return your treadmill.

Precor

Precor treadmills and other fitness equipment are a popular choice for health clubs and home gyms. They only carry non-folding treadmills, which may not meet the needs of customers who want to fold up the deck when not in use. Also, Precor has no return policy, so you may want to try their treadmills at a local gym before committing to purchasing one for yourself.

Healthrider

Healthrider makes decent treadmills for walking or jogging, and they come at a fair price. The technology of the Healthrider makes the product more interactive and fun than other brands. These treadmills are attractive and come in a variety of styles, but Healthrider is heavy into plastic parts that can break or wear out easily. With only a 90 day warranty we had some concerns.

Nordictrack

Despite the lower cost on some models and the nice features, NordicTrack has a history of quality issues that didn't bring much confidence. If you really want a treadmill with the NordicTrack name, you should definitely consider the extended warranty.

Gold's Gym

Gold's Gym treadmills don't deliver the quality that we would expect with the Gold's Gym name. Their treadmills are known for a wobbly frame and a running deck that is too small to comfortably use. We recommend you choose a higher rated treadmill company for your fitness needs.

Weslo

If you are looking for a low priced treadmill and Weslo seems to provide an option, we recommend you save your money and choose a higher rated brand. A better quality treadmill with enough deck space for comfortable use is imperative to achieving your fitness goals. Models so cheap that they wobble, jerk, and break will not get you where you want to go.
