Choosing the right treadmill can be a daunting task for most people, especially if it is their first time and there is no familiarity with all the features (motor, maximum user weight, mat etc.) that can be found facing.

GoldenGyms Service & Techniques offers you the basic criteria for choosing a treadmill.

Motor and maximum user weight

One of the most basic criteria for choosing your treadmill is the maximum user weight, which is directly related to its motor.

We make sure we are never close to its limit and our weight is at least 10 to 15 kg less and its engine from 2 hp and up.

Maximum number of users and maximum continuous operating time

Most users, having as an example the professional aisles they see in the gyms, consider it perfectly normal that they will be able to use in the same way but with the same frequency a aisle intended for home use only. Of course, the truth is far from this fact. All home treadmills are made with motors that last up to 40 minutes of continuous operation (which is why there is a huge difference in the acquisition prices of a home compared to a professional treadmill) otherwise you will need fast service.

Walking or running?

A very important feature of the hallway that we must pay attention to is the carpet. The final choice of carpet size is a very basic and crucial decision that we must make, which is directly related to the anatomy of our body and the use we want to make in our hallway (walking or running).
