Best Rated Treadmill Is An Open Question
The best rated treadmill
sort of depends upon whom you ask. There are a number of reviewers of
treadmills. These include independent organizations and others sponsored by
treadmill manufacturers. Among the reviewers are
Consumer Reports, Runner's World , Treadmill Doctor , The Los
Angeles Times, Prevention Magazine , Exercise Equipment Reviews,
About.com, Tennis, Good
Housekeeping, Wired, Consumer Guide, Advanced Fitness and Epinions . These are
just a few of the sources of the best treadmill reviews. Each of these sources offers its
review on the best-rated machine in one or more categories.
Treadmills Rated by Categories
Some of these sources of reviews claim the ratings of the best
treadmills can be
categorized in classes. These classes are defined in several ways. One popular
system has three classes: walking, running and a little of both. Other classes
are broken down in price ranges, claiming treadmill quality follows price. Other
sources don’t try to break the field down into classes and simply list the
best reviews on treadmills.
Review or Sales Talk?
One has to be somewhat careful of the reviewers of the
supposedly best rated machine. One reviewer is the website Advanced Fitness.
Smooth Fitness products own this site. Consequently, the
best treadmill ratings in each of its classes just happens to be a Smooth. The Consumer Guide ratings
simply discuss the features of each machine without offering an analysis or
opinion. One could come to the conclusion that such reviews were prepared from
press releases and product information supplied by each company being evaluated
and the reviewer conducting his or her analysis without even seeing or actually
testing the machines in the review. Runner’s World appeals to an audience
whose members are heavy users of treadmills. In a Runner’s World review
machines that will not hold up under the heavy-duty usage of serious runners,
priced at $2,000 or more, are beneath consideration.

Review Machines Within Your Budget
A treadmill is a very effective and very popular piece of
exercise equipment. There are many reviews of manufacturers building a diverse array of
models rated at all quality levels and in all price ranges. This variety is good for
the consumer, because it ensures a model and best price range that is nearly perfect
for everyone. Before even reviewing independent consumer ratings, you should decide how the treadmill
is going to be used and how often it will be used. Will it be used only for
walking? Will it be used for running or will it be used for both? Will it be
used nearly every day or will it be used only on those days when weather does
not permit outdoor activity? Armed with these decisions, the consumer can
establish a budget and then begin reviewing the best
treadmill ratings for a number of
models.
