Keep belt size on your radar – ideally, you'll want a belt that's 48 inches long and 18 inches wide. Anything less than 16 inches will leave you very little amount of space to run on. Plus, the taller you are, the wider you need your belt to be.
If you're planning to regularly run or sprint on your machine, do make sure it goes up to 10% incline and 10 mph (miles per hour).
How much does a good treadmill cost?
If you're looking to invest in a Peloton treadmill, then you're looking at an eye-watering £2,295. Likewise, Technogym's MyRun will set you back £3,250. And, if you really want to splash the cash, the sleek Run Personal – designed by famed Italian designer Antonio Citterio – costs £12,800.
But don't worry. You can still get a ‘good’ treadmill for under £1,000. You just need to know where to look…
