Horizon
4.5
(65)

"I love that treadmill."
"I love the Horizon 7.0 AT because of the GymKit integration."

"Totally recommend!"
"Solid unit very happy with our purchase."
"Very quickly responsive."
"It's been great for me."
#2
Sole
4.3
(51)
"Sole F80 is solid as all get out. Bought mine used. It's old enough that there are physical buttons, the screen is not a touch screen and is not color... and I don't care."
"We have had a Sole F80 since Christmas and so far so good! I like it a lot."
"We have always been happy with the Sole brand. I had 1 of their treadmills for 8 years before I moved and it still was doing great when we left."
"Sole F80 ($1,400) is a tank with a 3.5 CHP motor that’ll outlive your gym membership."
"I've had a Sole Fitness treadmill for 15 years that still works great. Mine is an F83."
"I’ve had my Sole F80 for 14 years and it’s still going strong!"
"It's sturdy. Goes up to 15 incline."
"Sole treadmills are great for reliability and can be brought for around $1k."
"Might be worth pairing with a solid treadmill like the Sole F63."
"I've had my sole f85 for a month and love it!"
#3
Peloton
4.8
(25)
"Loved it so much that we repurchased another one last year when I started getting serious about running again. I’m so obsessed."
"I also love my peloton tread. I do about 15 to 20 miles a week on it and another 20 or so outdoors."
"If you have the peloton bike and already paying the membership fee the tread plus is so good."
"Had my peloton tread+ for about a month and were obsessed. Love it."
"We have the original peloton tread and love, love, love it! The slats make such a difference, it's night and day."
"I enjoy my Peloton! I’m coming up on 3 years and have used it consistently for my indoor runs."
"Love my pelly tread. Got in 2021 and no jinx, not a single issue."
"Agreed, my Peloton is beyond amazing."
"I looooove my peloton tread."
"I got my used Peloton treadmill and really love it."

Spirit
4.5
(17)
"Check out the Spirit XT685. My husband is your size. We bought it at a privately owned local fitness store. 10 yr warranty!"
"The 10year parts warranty has come in handy."
"Solid overall build and high capacity."
"I love it!"
"Spirit ct800 will last you forever if you have the budget."
"I recently got a Spirit XT685 ENT. It is overkill for what you want, so not recommending, but was a great deal for what I was looking at."
"I’ve been using a spirit treadmill for the past 7 years, it’s a work horse and I love it!"
"Take a look at the Spirit XT 385 treadmill. My local fitness dealer sells them for $1999 with free home delivery."
"Finally pulled the trigger today and purchased a treadmill. Went with the Spirit XT385."
"I’m about 6’3” and 310. I went with the Spirit XT685 and it has been great so far."

Landice
4.8
(9)
"I love my L7 and have never had an issue in 10 years. It’s like having a commercial tread in my home."
"I have the L7. It’s a solid machine that has taken a beating for five years including four marathon blocks."
"I have a Landice L8 treadmill that I got five years ago. It is super solid!"
"I’ve had it 10 years and it still works great."
"A used newer home-version Landice treadmill is probably the best way to go."
"No comparison. Landice all the way."
"Landice and it’s not even close."
"I absolutely love it."
"I think this would be a Landice w/ortho belt or a TRUE treadmill, they advertise their products as if you are walking/running on grass."
#6
NordicTrack
4.0
(9)
"A high-end treadmill with a 3.5 CHP motor, 10" touchscreen, and iFit compatibility for interactive training."
"Both are great for running and walking."
"NordicTrack Commercial 1750 If you are willing to break the bank."
"I have a Nordic Track T Series and love it."
"It’s under $1,000, reliable, and has a good range of features."
"I’m happy with it. It inclines and declines, goes faster (12 mph) than I need, and has a decent motor (4.25 hp?)"
"It was kind of expensive to start, but on the used market - cheap!"
"Works fine... we just don't use it."
"Stay away from iFit/NordicTrack unless you want to be stuck behind an expensive paywall"

Precor
5.0
(7)
"I picked up a Precor 5 years ago and still going strong with no issues."

Nordictrack
3.4
(9)
"I love my Nordictrack commercial 2450."
"I absolutely love my Nordic track but it’s more than $800."
"I’ve put almost 1000 miles on it so far and I don’t pay for the iFit subscription."
"I got the nordiktrak commercial 2450 and I love it so much."
"NordicTrack and ProForm are great choices."
"Look for a compact, folding treadmill with a good motor (around 2.5 HP should be fine). Brands like NordicTrack and ProForm have models that fold well and are decent quality."
"Basically nobody here will recommend NordicTrack to you, for reliability and support reasons."
"I have read nordictrack’s aren’t good."
"Stay away from Nordictrack - when they work they are fine but the reliability is poor with people getting them delivered DOA or when they break getting customer service response and your parts can take weeks."
