ONLINE GUIDE:

If you're looking to buy a machine for continuous duty operation (i.e. nonstop) then do not consider a domestic model. Best buy our BRANX FITNESS GYM RUNNER PRO TREADMILL. However, for the home, you may want a treadmill that other family members can use throughout the course of a normal day. In this situation, a heavy-duty domestic machine will do the job well. Best buy our BRANX FITNESS ELITE RUNNER PRO TREADMILL. If you're considering a machine for a health club or gym, then you should only consider a commercial machine.

Here's a quick and easy way to help you choose what speed is suitable for your type of Cardio workout:

CUSHIONING:
The type of running platform, which, your machine will have, depends very much on its physical loading capacity and of course its price. Small domestic treadmills that can only handle body weights not exceeding say 60Kg (approx. 132 Lb) will come fitted with just a single deck directly mounted to the machines sub-frame. Larger machines for home use normally have a cushioned running deck on which the platform you run on, sits on a number of elastomer cushions that are mounted to the treadmills sub-frame. We strongly recommend the latter in design in that a cushioned deck provides impact absorption and gives you some degree of protection and comfort during your workout. All our motorized treadmills have a highly sophisticated cushioned running platform.
DECK SIZE:
If you are planning to jog or sprint, the greater the surface area you have to run on the better. Always choose a machine that has a wide running matt so that you have some degree of latitude whilst exercising. There's nothing worse than restricting your freedom of movement whilst working out or even worse tripping up on any obstacles that surround you!
GADGETRY:
Generally speaking, the greater the information feedback displayed to you during your workout session, the greater the accuracy of your workout. The very fact that you have more information available will mean that you have a bigger picture of what's really going on with respect to your fitness program. All of our treadmills have excellent computers with great readouts and loads of programs etc.

An electronic treadmill is a sophisticated workout machine consisting of a great number of high-tech components. Your pre-purchase budget will ultimately decide on the level of sophistication your machine will carry. Do not compromise price with the machines body-loading capacity (limit) and/or horse power motor rating as this normally leads to one outcome - disaster!

Mains power supply varies from country to country. Please make sure that you specify the power supply rating you require when ordering your machine. We only supply treadmills that operate on 110V/60Hz (USA), 240V/50Hz (UK) and 220V/50Hz (Europe)

All electric treadmills are power-rated by the size of their motor. Its very simple - the greater a machines HP rating the more powerful that machine is. Most electronic models use digital PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) technology to power a DC rated motor unit. In general, the higher a treadmills HP rating, the faster the machine (as well as greater load handling). As a rule-of-thumb, your minimum motor rating should not be less than 1.75 HP when choosing a treadmill.

Always aim to make your treadmill purchase with this very important specification in mind.

If more than one member will be using the machine, then you must base your load rating on the heaviest person who will be using it!

Undoubtedly quality is the most important aspect to consider. The last thing you want is finding your machine out of action in the middle of a CV workout. Choose a machine that meets your requirements in terms of body weight handling as well as its type of use (i.e. constant (continuous) use or periodic use).
Whichever machine ultimately takes your fancy, it will at some stage need some degree of maintenance. Treadmillsonline offer only low maintenance machines requiring a low level of basic maintenance and adjustment. Modular in design, replacement parts can be quickly and easily installed.
If your purchasing a machine without any warranty, then you may be handling a can of worms at some later date. Only with a brand new machine will you get warranty cover in the first year(s). Sensible use and good maintenance normally yield many years of trouble free use. Treadmillsonline offer a two year motor warranty on all its products. We also include a basic checklist maintenance program that will extend the life of your machine if adhered to....
