Everyone wants to get a treadmill, but if you do, you should look into getting the best treadmill that your money can buy. Nobody likes buying a product and then finding out later that it wasn’t worth its entire price tag. Treadmills are all relatively expensive, so finding the right one that’s worth its price tag is the way to go.
By searching for the best value, I came up with three specific models. All three of these treadmills are quality machines that will serve you well with your fitness goals.
Smooth Fitness 5.65 Folding Treadmill
The Smooth Fitness 5.65 Folding treadmill costs just under 1,000 dollars, and for a quality, high-end treadmill, that’s a fantastic deal. It includes a dual stage, a soft-drop folding mechanism, a deluxe sound system and quick and easy speed and incline buttons. It works with a gas shock-assist lift so you can smoothly tilt the 60-inch treadmill deck into position and wheel it away for easy storage.
It has a compact, but very strong frame that’s built to handle walking and light running- so this treadmill is ideal for joggers looking to shed some pounds and not marathon runners or track stars. The treadmill also has a deluxe music system with speakers and auxiliary jack for your iPod or MP3 player and even a CD player if you still use it. The centerpiece is a 3 window LED with LCD dot matrix that provides you with certain data: distance, heart rate, speed, and calories burned. It also comes with 13 speed and incline combo programs so you can challenge yourself and your body. Overall, this is truly one of the best values for your money.

The Vision Fitness TF20 Classic Folding treadmill is a rather expensive piece of equipment, but if you want quality then you won’t be disappointed. It has a 2.75 CHP digital drive system and a very durable 2 ply maintenance-free belt. The deck is very comfortable to run, jog or walk on as it is 57 by 20 inches and has a new frame with heavy-gauge steel tubing and extended support rails for greater stability.
This model has a classic console with a large LED display for easy viewing. It also gives you five preset programs to help you out if you’re stuck on what kind of workout to do, how long to run, what incline to run on and so on. This Vision Fitness treadmill is also compatible with Passport media player; however, that is sold separately. The classic console LED centerpiece on this treadmill was designed to get you started on your workouts faster. Just press the “go” button and the display will give you your time, calories burned, distance, speed incline and heart rate data. Overall, this is one tremendous value.

The ProForm Power 995 treadmill is another great option. This treadmill works great with iFit live technology, so you can download new and personalized workouts daily from certified professional trainer Jillian Michaels. This means you’ll be able to do quality workouts that have been tested to work and shed pounds. Take the hassle out of trying to find great treadmill workouts- you’ve already got them at your fingertips.
This model has a great running tread belt that’s quite long (20 by 60) so that it can accommodate those with longer strides. The treadmill also has Quick Speed and Quick Incline controls along with a powerful 3.0 CHP Mach Z commercial plus motor. It comes with 20 pre-programmed built-in workout applications, and a 0-12 mph quick speed control with a 0-15% quick incline. It will also reduce the impact on your joints, especially your knees, with the ProShox Elite 2 cushioning. After all is said and done, this treadmill is one of the best available.
