videos to make you feel you are running through nice landscapes. The one feature we don’t like is the loud beeping before the treadmill begins and can’t seem to turn it off. Otherwise, this treadmill is great and we highly recommend it.

walking and light jogging. There are several pre-set program options which cater for varying intensity workout routines. Most of these programs include use of the incline option. The belt is divided into three sections which ensures every foot step while walking comfortable. The Company I purchased the treadmill from (Fitness Warehouse Australia) was professional, knowledgeable, very helpful and friendly. They answered all my questions regarding delivery, assembly and installation and made the experience a stressless and smooth flowing process. The Treadmill actually arrived two days before the estimated delivery date. The assembly took my wife an I less than an hour, and we're both pensioners..!!

LIFESPAN Dynamo Treadmill – I purchased the Dynamo which is similar to the Fitness pursuit. It has been reliable and inexpensive. I do not even bother oiling or maintaining it and it still keeps going (since 2013). Show details
Excellent after sales and warranty service – I have had problems with my treadmill after 33 months of use. I cannot fault their after sales service and warranty. Will definitely recommend to friends and would not think of purchasing any other brand.
Lifespan Viper M3
Good treadmill – I bought the viper m3 2years ago and have done over 4700ks on it . I use it 6-7 days a week , long runs , tempo runs , intervals (1k x 5 @ 19kmh)… Read more
regularly. The huge bonus with the viper m3 is that it connects directly too Zwift . Speed and incline is used through the Bluetooth. Only things I’ve replaced is the rear bearing on the belt roller .
big & comfortable – i bought this brand & model as i had the proflex mini walking machine that i had picked up from a thrift store cheap & had no problems using it but… Read more
was to small & uncomfortable for me. this thing is big heavy & powerfull. im 6.2 110kg and takes my weight no problems at all. belt is big enough for me. the handles are the right hight. i cant hear the motor realy its pretty quit the only noise is from the belt but thats normal. i have it in a bedroom but realy would be better suited in a gym room or garage as its so big. auto incline works fine. has a ledge for a ph or tablet but even a 7'' tablet would block the display a little a phone would be fine. i would like the power cable to be longer as it looks to be only 1.5m long 2.5 would be better. was fairly easy to assemble took around 45 minutes to unbox & set up by myself. think where you realy want this as once set up will be to big to move through a standard size doorway even when folded up. still new but so far so good.
Works well and easy to use – Treadmill has an easy to read digital screen that helps me track my progress walking. Lots of speed and incline options which helps me switch it up.… Read more
Easy to lubricate- has its own section to pour the lubricant so you don’t have to manually place it with your hand under the mat as I have had to with older machines. I put a tablet on the front screen while I walk on it, as there’s suitable space and a little shelf to place it down.
All good so far with this treadmill. It will be used every day so will probably update review after 6 months or so. A nice size treadmill for the… Read more
price. Under $1000 delivered. Nice and quiet and has an auto incline feature. Different programs if you can be bothered with that. Nice and sturdy. Nice big operation panel with room to sit the Ipad.
APPLIANCES ONLINE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN! – I am a returning customer, and wanted to give you a shout out for just how impressed I was by not only the competitive price offered for my recent… Read more
purchase, but that you also offered free delivery and kept me updated via email during every part of the delivery process. I will definitely be back again soon to review the treadmill once it is opened and up and running for Christmas!
This treadmill is TOTALLY AWESOME!!! Definitely exceeded my expectations!!! I spent ages trying to find the right treadmill, I nearly went with the… Read more
lsg vulcan m2 due to the large 4chp motor, but i was hesitating as i wasn't quite happy with the look of the console and tiny buttons which i found out that sometimes you'd have to press them so hard to get it to work and delays in switching between speeds. So glad i went with the V500 instead... its not only easy to use it looks modern and amazing, love the lights along the deck which i didn't realise it had, runs smoothly without any hiccups with a 3chp motor and 50 x 1300 belt size which is pretty good.. the rotary knob to change speeds is fantastic and so fast with switching, has 15 levels of incline and speed goes up to 20.... Also has a pause button, comes with a phone/tablet holder which doesn't shake at all when jogging...the console is very easy to use and the fold and soft drop system is great. Something else i found out is that it has 2 holes under the deck, so when you fold it, you can just drop in some lubricant, no need to losen and manually spread it under the belt.... The machine itself is also extremely solid and sturdy, definitely has a premium feel to it, so happy with my purchase!!! I highly recommend! I hope this helps anyone unsure on what to buy, you wont be disappointed for this price point of $1,174 AUD including delivery, via kmart!!
Goliath Treadmill by TreadEzy – We purchased a replacement treadmill for our Gym in our apartment complex recently. We decided on a commercial grade treadmill priced at a reasonable… Read more
price point for our needs. Goliath met all the required criteria as it is a sturdy, robust machine which can handle subjects weighing upto 250 kg and facility to incline to a maximum of 25%. We are very pleased with our purchase and Brenden of TreadEzy was so helpful in providing all the information we needed although we purchased the item from a retailer -Mr Treadmill in Geebung. Latter delivered the item fully assembled in timely manner.
Excellent – Great treadmill with strong body (aluminium), strong 3hp continuous power motor, 4 ply track and backed with an industry best warranty. Great sales… Read more
and service, although their sole distributor is located in Victoria. Landice treadmills definitely fall in the high-end category in terms of both price and quality. Definitely, if you have the money, Landice is one of the best treadmills money can buy. Quality of build -- you're effectively getting a commercial treadmill for the home. Lifetime warranty on everything (1 year service labour, though). One of the most expensive treadmills in Australia. Also, need to adhere to warranty details to keep lifetime warranty, although not too cumbersome.
where's the app on Play Store? – The app disappears on the internet and its website, the remote control consumes a lot of battery resources
Orbit StarStrider SS450
Great experience and happy with SS450 – Has been a great purchase, no problems thus far and does its job, had questions around the mat and called their service division, support was great,… Read more
especially when they are local in Perth and have parts available and their service techs come out to you, don’t get this level of service elsewhere, like to support local companies that have been around for years. thanks orbit
Disgraceful – Used for 4 hrs max and now not working. No interest in helping to get repair as it is 1 month out of warranty. Would not use this company ever again. My advice is to STAY CLEAR! Show details

Types of treadmills
Manual treadmills
A manual treadmill requires the user to manually get the belt moving with your feet before starting to run.
Curved treadmills
A curved treadmill is a manual treadmill with a concave belt. Because of its curved shape, you have to run on the balls of your feet and thus expend more energy to move forward - this is thought to better mimic outdoor running than flat-belted treadmills.
They’re self-pacing, and are generally great for running at constant speeds, but aren’t completely up to scratch when it comes to acceleration - meaning runners looking to do sprint interval training may not find it suitable for them.
They’re generally sturdier and higher quality than flat-belt manual treadmills, however significantly more expensive.
Motorised treadmills
A motorised treadmill will get to your desired speed in a matter of seconds, and generally has a lot more advanced features than a manual machine.
Questions to consider before you shop
What are you planning to use your treadmill for? Do you need a walking treadmill, a running treadmill, an incline treadmill, or a machine that lets you do everything?
Where is your treadmill going to go? Are you decking out a home gym with a new treadmill and some other fitness accessories? Or are you looking for a commercial treadmill for your business?
Is it worth getting a treadmill? A treadmill is a big investment and a cheap treadmill can be hard to come by, so some people may find that they’re better off renting a treadmill from a gym equipment hire business.
It may also be worth looking into buying a second hand treadmill - if you’re considering this, ensure you find out information about the machine’s service history and remaining time left on its warranty.
Should you invest in a gym membership instead? If you want to diversify your workout and use a variety of machines, joining your local gym may be a better option for you. They also have more heavy duty treadmills that are durable enough to take high-impact runs.
Factors to consider when choosing a treadmill
Features
Added features can help you achieve your fitness goals while keeping you safe and comfortable. Note that it is unlikely you'll find these features on a manual treadmill.
- Safety key: This is a cord you clip onto your clothes - if you trip, the key will be pulled from the treadmill and the belt will stop moving.
- Heart rate monitor: A heart rate monitor can be found either as a sensor on the treadmill’s hand rails that you grip or as an external strap - often a wrist or chest strap. If your treadmill doesn’t have this, you can also buy your own heart rate monitor.
- Programs: Some machines can plan fitness sessions for you - these often take your height, weight, heart rate, and desired workout intensity into consideration to create an optimised program that creates a custom distance, speed, and time for your workout. Some also alter the workout to suit your target, whether it’s weight loss, improving your cardio, or something else.
- Fan: A fan can help you keep your cool during a sweaty run.
- Self-lubricating belt: A self-lubricating belt means you don’t have to perform any maintenance on the running deck.
- TV screen: A treadmill with a TV lets you watch your favourite show (or even browse the internet) while you work out, but these are usually only found on high-end models.
- Speaker dock: Some treadmills will have built-in speakers and Bluetooth connectivity or a dock to connect your smartphone, so you can do away with fiddly earphones that keep falling out during your run.
Build quality
Getting a durable model ensures you can run full tilt if that’s how you exercise. A sturdy frame that won’t rattle when you run at higher speeds and a resilient, cushioned running belt that won’t wear out easily with someone regularly walking all over it are two things that you should try out in store.
Generally, a powerful motor, a high load limit, and a long warranty indicate a good quality product.
Motor
A powerful motor with at least 2 continuous horsepower is recommended for runners, while walkers and joggers can usually get away with 1.5 continuous horsepower for a treadmill for home.
When reading product descriptions, note whether the horsepower is listed as continuous or peak - peak power indicates the maximum power level a motor is capable of in short bursts while continuous power describes a motor’s sustained output. While the higher numbers next to peak power may seem impressive initially, they aren’t a reliable indicator of motor performance.
Load
Different machines have different maximum user weights - exceeding this limit could damage your treadmill or cause some kind of injury to yourself. While many have a load limit of up to 150kg, some more lightweight models can’t take more than 100kg.
Warranty
A longer warranty often indicates a manufacturer’s faith in the durability of the treadmill. While longer warranties for all aspects of the treadmill are better, look out especially for the warranty of the motor - it’s the most expensive part of a treadmill and should have a longer warranty (aim for around 10 years) than the frame and other parts of the machine.
Size
You’ll have to measure up the fitness space in your home to see if the model you’re considering will fit. Ensure you leave some room around your treadmill - particularly behind it - so that you don’t crash into any furniture if you fall off.
If you’re particularly tall, or have an especially long stride or wide gait, you may want to try getting a treadmill with a longer or wider running belt size. Regardless of your height or the way you walk, try before you buy your treadmill.
Installation
Ensure you check whether or not the treadmill price includes delivery and installation - unless you’re particularly handy and think you can tackle the challenge of assembling your treadmill yourself, you may need to fork out a couple of hundred dollars to get someone else to do it.
Storage
If you’re someone who doesn’t have a dedicated fitness room for your home gym and you want a machine that can fold away when you need to entertain or need a little more breathing room, then you might want to consider buying a foldable treadmill or a compact treadmill.
Generally paying less will get you a light, small machine that’s easier to fold.
Cleaning and maintenance
A treadmill is a big investment in your health and fitness, but it’s one that will last you years if you properly maintain it.
With the build-up of sweat, dirt, and other things you don’t necessarily want sticking around on your machine, it’s important that you regularly clean your treadmill to prolong its lifespan. Usually this is done by dusting your treadmill and wiping it down with a dampened cloth, as well as lubricating the running belt.
Most treadmill brands will have their own specific cleaning and maintenance instructions, so refer to the product manual before purchasing a treadmill to ensure you’re able to keep up with these requirements to keep your machine in tip top shape.
If you’re worried about your treadmill damaging your floorboards or carpet, consider also buying a treadmill mat or fitness equipment mat to put underneath the machine.
Price
Treadmill costs vary considerably, but most are priced between $1500 and $3000, with some being as much as $5000 and over.
Treadmills under $1000 are available, but these will usually either be manual ones or entry-level electric ones with little to no features. While they may be suited to you if you’re mainly wanting to use your machine for walking, they usually don’t provide the desired versatility for a range of running workouts.
Wrapping up
With so many treadmills on the market, it can be difficult deciding what suits your fitness routine, however careful shopping can ensure you’re getting your step count up and your heart pumping in no time.
