How To Choose the Right Treadmill

Not all treadmills are built the same. The right choice depends on how you plan to use it.

Here are the key factors to consider:

• Motor Power: Important for runners and heavier use
• Incline & Decline: Adds variety and intensity to workouts
• Cushioning: Reduces impact on joints
• Folding vs Non-Folding: Space vs stability trade-off
• Warranty & Build Quality: Long-term durability matters
