When choosing the right exercise treadmill, or electric treadmill for use at home you need to be able to compare treadmills as each treadmill is different. Runners World Magazine carried out treadmill comparisons several years ago on ten treadmill brands they considered to be the best. It's an evaluation that is still used as a benchmark for treadmills in the fitness industry today.

The treadmill comparisons were judged according to the following four criteria and you would be well advised to do the same...

Treadmill Cushioning - How well the treadmills belt and deck absorb the shock of your foot strikes.

Treadmill Stability - The smoothness of the ride is probably the most important quality of a good treadmill. Is it solid and secure? Or does it flex, jiggle and hesitate as you run?

Treadmill Actual Pace - This is the pace accuracy based on actual distance covered in 8 minutes compared to the display reading.

Treadmill Noise - How loud the exercise treadmill is. Obviously the lower the better.

Another point to note when you hire a treadmill, buy a treadmill or just shop around for one is:

Servicing/Warranty - If something does go wrong with your treadmill you want it fixed fast and in your home. Does the Gold Coast treadmill supplier provide a number to call if something goes wrong with your treadmill. Sometimes looking for a cheap treadmill is not always the best option. Always ask the treadmill supplier if they have treadmill technicians in the area?

Does the fitness exercise machine come with a good warranty? You must be covered for parts, especially for the electric treadmill. A good warranty will also cover labor for the first 12 months. And remember it's often the obligation of the treadmill manufacturer to honor the warranty not the merchant or store in Gold Coast you bought the treadmill from.

Finally, make sure you use your treadmill at least 3 times a week for around 30 min each time.
