Treadmill Comparison

These treadmills may be purchased here.

Running Surface - A wider surface makes for trouble-free running. Taller users with long strides will be less restricted on a longer surface.

Motor - Measured in CHP (continous horsepower). A more powerful motor is able to accelerate more powerfully and is beneficial for heavier users and will hold up longer to continuous use by multiple users.

Top Speed - 4mph is a brisk walk. 5mph is a jog. If you want to run, get a 10mph machine.

Heart Rate Monitor - Contact means you have to grip a sensor bar for a few seconds. Chest straps are more convenient. Wireless monitors can be used with optional wireless devices.

Heart Rate Control - Program adjusts speed to keep your heart rate in the target range.

Each treadmill has additional features that require more detailed explanation, such as programmability, but this chart should help you narrow your choices down.
