The treadmill is the most common exercise machine found in homes throughout the nation. It allows one to walk, jog, or run themselves into shape regardless of the weather. They are convenient, and when used consistently – an effective tool for getting in shape.
Residential vs. Commercial Grade
Not all treadmills are created equal though. Residential treadmills are either folding or non-folding for easy storage and include a user-friendly console where a program can be easily set according to one’s goal. However, newer models are now offering more options like an MP3 dock and a cooling fan.

The commercial grade treadmill (those you see in gyms) is almost entirely non-folding and quite large. Designed with a strong frame and manufactured with higher quality components, this treadmill is designed to endure long-term continuous heavy usage. Like the residential treadmill, it includes plenty of programs, but some may find navigating the display a bit more confusing.

The differences are summarized below:
Residential Treadmills
Quality varies
Price ranges from $200 – $2000
Lower quality may require more maintenance
Manufacturer’s warranties may be more liberal
Lower weight capacity (cheapest models up to 200 lbs. / mid-priced models up to 350 lbs.)
Compact or foldable
Commercial Treadmills
Higher price point ($3000 and up)
Higher quality parts
Built for continuous and heavy usage
Low maintenance requirements
Higher weight capacity (up to 400 lbs.)
Which One is Best for You?
Before buying your treadmill, a few things need to be considered. First, how often do you plan on using it? Second, what’s your budget? Also, do you have any “space” restrictions at home?
If you’re planning on using the treadmill frequently, choosing a lower priced model wouldn’t be a good option since its components may not be able to withstand the repeated use. If you’re truly serious about getting in shape, invest in a treadmill that’s going to function consistently over the long-run. As a general rule, the treadmill should have a horsepower of at least 3.0 CHP (important if you plan on jogging regularly), and its weight limit is at the very least 50 lbs. over your bodyweight. If a treadmill meets these two requirements, then you’ll know you’re on the right path on choosing the right one. And lastly, if space is a limiting factor, the good news is that there are many excellent foldable treadmills available on the market today.
As with anything, you get what you pay for. Choose a treadmill that’s going to last. In the end, your wallet and sanity will love you for it.

Having a home gym is an investment toward one’s health. Whether the goal is to lose weight, gain muscle, or simply improve one’s overall well-being, there are a number of advantages to owning a home gym. In this post, we discuss 5 of them.
Save Money: Gym memberships can be expensive. At the end of the year, those monthly fees can really add up. Today, home gyms can accommodate most budgets and space availability. In the long-run, a home gym pays for itself.
Save Time: The process of getting to and from the gym or waiting on a piece of equipment is no longer an issue. Having a home gym can save precious time.
Privacy: There can be a number of reasons why some prefer not to go to a gym. Some are not comfortable exercising in front of strangers, while others simply enjoy having their personal space. Working out at home removes many of those variables.
Controlled Environment: At home you can blast your favorite playlist without headphones or have the TV on a specific channel of your liking. Whatever your preference during your workouts, you are in control of your environment, and that in of itself will make the workouts more enjoyable.
Safety: Not everyone has a spotter. There are some home equipment units that include safety accessories to remedy this dilemma or are designed in a way that may remove the chances of injury entirely. This is particularly important for those who follow a weight lifting progression program.
As you’ve read, there are many benefits to owning a home gym. It’s an investment that pays for itself in the end. More than ever, greater emphasis is being placed on taking care of our bodies. With many options available in the marketplace in terms of price and type of exercise equipment, a home gym can help us do just that.
