<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Necessary Functions
Choose a treadmill that is designed to bear your weight (some have relatively low weight limits) and has any safety options you feel you need, such as hand rails or an automatic shut off. Make sure that the treadmill is capable of going fast enough, and tilting up or down steeply enough, to fit your fitness needs.
On the Other: Compare Prices
For many, price is the major deciding factor when purchasing a large piece of fitness equipment. Treadmill prices can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars, so calculate how much you're willing to spend first, then choose from the models in that price range.
Bottom Line
If price is a deciding factor in your purchase, buying a used higher-end treadmill may provide the best balance between functionality and safety features and cost. Make sure you try the treadmill out first before buying; if it's not something you can enjoy using, it'll just be wasted money in the end.
