BUYING THE BEST treadmill for your home gym is a big commitment. Even the more affordable models are pricey. They take up a lot of space, and if you’ve ever come across a busted belt or a broken screen, you know how frustrating they can be. That being said, having a cardio machine in your house that works makes exercising so much more convenient. I definitely run more (and stick to my marathon training plans better) because of various treadmills I’ve had at home over the years. They can also make interval training a bit easier and help you practice hills if you don't have access to much challenging incline outside.
If you’re in the market for one, you probably know there are tons of options at all kinds of prices, and it can be hard to know what’s really worth splurging on. To help you narrow your search, we tested all the treads below, seeing how they held up through countless long-distance runs, hill workouts, and sprinting intervals. Our top picks are the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 ($1,999) and the Aviron Victory Treadmill ($2,599), but we have many more below.
Here’s what you should keep in mind as you shop. Is a garage treadmill too much for you? You might want to consider our guide to the Best Walking Pads instead. And don't forget to check out the rest of our health and fitness buying guides, like the Best Fitness Trackers and the Best Smart Scales.
