We are happy at Ultim8 Fitness to give advice on all aspects regarding the purchase treadmills or running machines. Firstly treadmills are proberly the most complex piece of home fitness equipment so please bear the following issues in mind.
1/ After sales service -Can you get thorough easily to the customer support line and are spares readily available.
2/ How often do I intend to use the treadmill or running machine? If you are a marathon runner don't expect a £500 treadmill to be satisfactory and on the flip side no need to spend £1000 on a treadmill if you are a walker.
3/ Don't be fooled by horse power rating- They are misleading as there are cheap light weight motors with high horsepower ratings.
4/ Use your common sense you don't get something for nothing. Don't expect a good treadmill for peanuts.
5/ Check the dimensions - Will the treadmill fit in your house? Will it go thorough doorways?
6/ Don't be drawn in with fancy gimmicks and focus on the basics.
