> WHERE TO SHOP FOR YOUR TREADMILL?

You can find treadmills in department stores, sporting goods stores and fitness equipment specialty stores. This may sound like a shameless plug, but the best place to buy a treadmill is at a store that specializes in treadmills and offers expert product and fitness knowledge—because what a big-box-store salesperson doesn’t know, or the brochures don’t tell you, can badly misguide your search for your ideal treadmill. Also be sure to check the warranties on any treadmill model, and quiz the vendor about post-sale support and service.
