Treadmills

Belt type

Motorised

• Performance is measured in HP (horsepower), anything between 1.5 to 4 HP is generally sufficient.
• The higher the weight of the user, the more power is needed to reach the maximum treadmill speed.

Manual

• For less demanding users – you move the belt with your own feet. The incline and speed can be adjusted by controlling the magnetic resistance, which is the reason why this type is sometimes called a magnetic treadmill.

Running deck

Width

• Belts up to 40 cm in width are suitable for walking and jogging.
• If you prefer to run faster, choose a wider belt for better workout safety.

Incline

• Incline adjustment simulates running uphill; typical incline range is 10-20%.

Cushioning

• Cushioned running beds are suitable for frequent jogging, as they simulate running on soft surfaces such as grass. The cushioning protects your joints.

Frame structure and weight limit

• For tall and heavier users, we recommend choosing a sturdy treadmill frame with a maximum weight capacity 20% higher than is the weight of the user.

Equipment

• Heart rate monitor - usually integrated into the handles; some models are also compatible with chest straps from selected brands.
• Safety – shuts down the machine in the event of an accident.
• Display - displays speed, time, calories burned, incline, heart rate, etc.
• Some models take user comfort even further and feature integrated speakers, fans, and other equipment.
