The Top 3 Treadmill Brands For Home Use

Filed under: Treadmill Reviews — Tags: , , — admin @ 11:30 am

With the London Olympics 2012 closing last Sunday night, I can pretty much bet that there are a lot of people doing research on the idea of purchasing fitness equipment for their home. This event has inspired many people to take action on their fitness levels. One of the primary pieces of fitness equipment that people will be interested in using for home use is the Treadmill machine. In this article, I would like to talk about some of the top treadmill brands that are available for home use. Lets check out these brands below.

Sole Treadmill Brand

The first brand I want to share with you is the Sole fitness brand. They manufacture and sell different pieces of fitness equipment such as treadmills, elliptical trainers and even exercise bikes. In actual fact, the Hilton Hotel use Sole treadmills in their leisure centers across the US. I am also lead to believe that other hotels have followed suit. Sole manufacture their machines with good components and even offer a lifetime warranty on all major parts of the machine. They offers a wealth of features and functionalities and they feel comfortable to workout on. Perhaps the two most popular Sole treadmills to workout on at the moment would be the Sole F80 and The Sole f63. You can check out a review of them by visiting ItsAboutTreadmills.com. Check out ItsAboutTreadmill.com’s review of the Sole F80 here. Visit the Sole f63 review here.

Horizon Fitness

The next brand I want to mention is the Horizon Fitness. Horizon are another quality made brand for home use. They also product treadmills, elliptical trainers and exercise bikes. Customers who purchase and use Horizon treadmills give feedback, saying that they are comfortable and conveniet to use. They also offer a quiet operation, which I find important as I dont like to workout on a noisy piece of fitness equipment. From my experience, most of their machines are made with decent parts and they look good too. Perhaps the mst popular machine they have right now on the market is the Horizon t101.

Lifespan Fitness Treadmills

The final treadmill brand I am going to talk about is the Lifespan brand. Lifespan are perhaps the most expensive brand out of the three brands I mention in this article, but they really do a good job and manufacture treadmill products that keep their customers happy and offer a memorable workout experience. For almost two decades now, Lifespan have been one of the industry leaders in home fitness equipment. They continuously reinvest into new and better ways for creating a better user experience for the home user. Their treadmills cater towards different fitness goals. Whether you want to lose weight, maintain fitness levels or develop toned muscles on your lower body, the Lifespan models are there to assist you all the way.

Before I begin with today’s post, I will take this opportunity to wish everyone a very happy, healthy, peaceful and prosperous 2009. I am sure most of us have made resolutions we plan to stick to. To make it easier for you to stick to your physical fitness resolutions through tough economic times and weather, we bring to you reviews of portable, foldable and economic treadmills. The Horizon Evolve SG Compact Treadmill is one such treadmill.

The Pluses:

  • One of the most compact foldable treadmills I have seen in the market – It folds flat to only 10” – easy to store under beds.
  • The Horizon Evolve SG Compact Treadmill can also be made to stand folded and upright against a wall or in the closet – real ease in storage.
  • It weighs just 45 kilos or 99 lbs and comes with wheel attachments – talk about portability!
  • The Set-Up is as easy as 1-2-3 and it arrives fully assembled.
  • It provides convenient built-in speakers for MP3 usage.
  • The Horizon Evolve SG Compact Treadmill comes with a lifetime warranty on frame, 5 years on motor and a year of warranty on parts and labour.
  • Keeping with the foldable range of treadmills, Many companies are giving customers up until the 10th or 15th of the month to pay their first premium. the Horizon Evolve SG Compact Treadmill offers 2 programs – Weight Loss and Manual and the display shows the time, speed, distance, calories burnt etc.
  • The Horizon Evolve SG Compact Treadmill is priced at USD 599.

The Minuses:

  • The Horizon Evolve SG Compact Treadmill, because of its light weight, is not a very stable machine.
  • Due to the same reason, it also has a limited user load capacity of 250 kilos.
  • The Horizon Evolve SG Compact Treadmill is more suited for walking and light jogging than for running or any other heavy-duty treadmill workouts.
  • As the belt is a compact 17” (W) x 45” (L), its compactness allows easy workout by those under 5’8” in height.
  • Belt cushioning is at bare minimum levels.
  • The Horizon Evolve SG Compact Treadmill has a 1.5 continuous drive HP motor.

My Take:

If you are serious about treadmill workouts and do moderate to high intensity workout son it such as running etc or are tall and consequently have longer strides, the Horizon Evolve SG Compact Treadmill is not for you. I am of the personal opinion that any treadmill’s rating scale is dependent on its belt cushioning, stability, program features, motor strength and price. Except for pricing, this treadmill does not measure up. However, if you are a just-begun or your part of the world experiences harsher weather conditions keeping you at home, the Horizon Evolve SG Compact Treadmill is perfect for you. The price at USD is unparalled as is the warranty and storability.

Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
