Re: Buying a treadmill
When it comes to treadmills, with regards to price they can be broken down into 3 catagories:
budget ($500 to $1,500),
mid-range ($1,500 to $3,000)
quality ($3,000 and up)
If you can (pool your money together with a family member??) try to get at least a mid range... the ones at the lower end of the market will just conk out on you after some use.... it's better to invest in something that will have longevity and cater to you as your fitness levels grow...
The 2 treadmills in our home are the:
Vision Fitness T9450 Premier console
Nordic Track E3200 Treadmill
They're on the pricey side, but definitely worth the investment. We've had a couple before that have just stopped working after some time, and we kept on buying new ones...but these have lasted us for some time....
Anyway, staying within your stated budget, i think the best one to go for will be the NordicTrack C2500 which is around £800 and the C2000 which is around £650....
Take a look at them and let me know what you think... i'll keep my eye out if i see anything else for you ;)
