Finding Treadmill Ratings Online
Fortunately, it has never been easier to find treadmill ratings online for personal machines or machines for commercial use. Exercise machines are not only bug business, they target vocal and opinionated clientele that is not afraid to publicly proclaim their points of view. These writers of treadmill ratings often include professional trainers and coaches as well as the average person.
Websites To Check Out
There are even very well organized websites devoted to rating various exercise machines to help consumers more wisely spend their dollars (or whatever currency they use). One of the top websites that focuses on treadmill reviews is named, conveniently enough, TreadmillReview.net (note that's "net" and not "com"). They are low on graphics, but high on quality information and tips.
The site is incredibly easy to read with mercifully large print on a bright white background free of any distracting wallpaper or icons. You can check out treadmill reviews divided by brand, by their top picks (called "best buys") or all product reviews. They include prominent sidebars of places to click to for more information or to send your own question.
Another great website for unbiased treadmill ratings is TreadmillAdvisor.com (note the "com" this time). This is also an easy to use website with information logically organized and print given on clean, uncluttered background. They also help explain what to look for in good treadmills in general and give some helpful information on how they work.
A very similar website is TreadmillTalk.com, which visually looks like TreadmillAdvisor.com, but concentrates on the most popular brands and models. There is a section where you can submit your own review and read reviews that others have generously submitted.
All Product Websites
You can also find treadmill ratings on shopping review websites for all kinds of products and services. These are usually always written by the average person and not health or fitness professionals, so some people prefer their no-jargon brief reviews. You do have to take these reviews with a grain of salt, as sometimes people have nothing better to do than complain online wherever they can.
In reading the treadmill ratings, mentally ignore the highest and the lowest ratings and concentrate on the average. Any product with one bad rating should still be considered. But if a product gets several bad reviews, then that's a definite warning flag. Any product with multiple positive ratings is a good sign. Some popular shopper review sites include Yahoo! Shopping and BizRate.
