Treadmill Buying Guide
1. What Will You Use It For?
Casual Cardio
Ideal for walking or light jogging? A traditional motorised treadmill with speed control is a reliable option.
HIIT & Sprint Training
Choose a curved treadmill or air runner for explosive, self-powered workouts. Great for performance athletes and fat loss.
Low-Impact Cardio
Recovering or looking for joint-friendly options? A motorised treadmill with incline features can offer a softer experience.
Functional Fitness & CrossFit
Go for a self-powered curved treadmill or something like the Jacobs Ladder for a full-body cardio challenge.
