Where to Buy a Treadmill
Summary
Looking to purchase a treadmill? It’s wise to compare options to find the best deal, and doing so can help you save hundreds. But where should you start? Generally, there are three main places to consider. This article will explore these options, highlighting their pros and cons to help you make an informed decision.
1. Department Stores
Department stores like Walmart, Sears, and Target offer various treadmill brands in their sports and fitness sections. However, many of these brands are produced by Icon Health and Fitness, the manufacturer behind names like Proform, Weslo, and NordicTrack.
While these treadmills may feature gadgets like CD players and iFit compatibility, they aren’t always known for quality cushioning, stability, or durability. Often, they come with short warranties?"usually around 90 days for parts and labor. You may need to pay extra for an extended warranty.
Salespeople at these stores might not have specialized knowledge about treadmills or fitness, so it’s crucial to do your research beforehand. Additionally, be prepared for extra shipping and delivery costs, which can range from $150 to $200.
2. Specialty Sports and Fitness Stores
Stores like Fitness Depot, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Sport Chalet offer higher-end treadmill brands like Precor, Landice, and Trimline.
These stores generally provide a broader selection, as the treadmills are manufactured by multiple companies. The staff tends to be more knowledgeable and can help guide your purchase based on your needs. However, be cautious, as they might work on commission and could pressure you into a more expensive purchase.
Shipping and delivery fees still apply, but you might find discounts or free shipping during sales.
3. Online - Direct From the Manufacturer
Buying a treadmill online is becoming increasingly popular. Online fitness stores and treadmill manufacturers often sell directly to consumers, cutting out the middleman and saving you up to $800 on a brand-name treadmill.
Shopping online offers convenience, allowing you to research brands and prices from home. The selection is often more extensive, leading to better buying decisions. Online distributors usually provide free shipping, further reducing costs, and without pushy salespeople, you can take your time.
The downside is that you can’t try the treadmill before buying. Many people test treadmills in-store first, then purchase online. Alternatively, focus on highly rated brands, guided by expert reviews and user feedback.
Conclusion
Now that you understand where to buy a treadmill?"whether at department stores, specialty sports stores, or online?"take your time to research and consider your personal workout needs. Enjoy the process of finding the perfect treadmill for your home.
