When buying a treadmill, there are heavy duty treadmills and there are softer cheap treadmills. Depending on how you intend to use the treadmill determines how much you should spend. A lightly used treadmill, such as walking or light jogging, should cost at least $1000. A treadmill for regular moderate jogging should cost between $1300 to $1500 and more if you plan to do heavy running every day.

Although, it is understandable that there are those of us who simply are confined to a tight budget and not sure how the treadmill will be used, if it ends up being used at all. In such cases, ProForm treadmills offer some of the best values.

Remember these treadmills are budget machines and not designed for heavy use. This means that you shouldn’t rely on the treadmill to hold up if you will be running sprints every day or you are excessively overweight, or just a really heavy person. And while the treadmills come with suggested weight limits, the numbers are usually on the optimistic side.

Whatever you need, being the largest brand line of treadmills by manufacturer ICON Fitness, you probably will find a ProForm that will make the cut at a reasonable price.

The specifications of these treadmills at least match and even exceed that of competing brands. The most basic treadmill still comes with an impressive selection of features and this is an incredible value for the price.

These machines are designed with a large selection of pre-programmed workouts for almost every type of fitness goal. The features allow you to control the speed, incline, and duration of your workout based on your personal physical condition and goals.

The workout programs are categorized to focus on different areas or different specifics of your desired results such as wellness, endurance, weight loss or body shaping. It also makes adjustments based on your input. More fancy treadmills come with audio coaching built in.

When considering any budget treadmill, it’s important not to judge on price alone and going as low as possible will probably not get you the best treadmill for your dollar. Regardless of level of use, you don’t want a machine with less than 2.0 CHP. CHP stands for continuous horse power as opposed to standard horse power which might max out in bursts. Anything smaller and the treadmill will begin buckling at higher intensities.

Make sure the belt is wide and long enough so your workout is enjoyable and you don’t feel cramped. Also, most machines come with 90 day warranties and you will want to get additional warranty.
