How do I choose a good treadmill running machine for home use in Pakistan?

Choosing a good treadmill is same as choosing a good car, same factors applied. Like you see the design, functions, quality, reliability, brand, customer support, spare parts availability, repair workshop etc.

While looking simple treadmill is a combination of mechanical, electric and electronics. If all three discipline work well together then you will get a quality & reliable walking machine. If not you are in real trouble.

So first advice is only select reliable brand which has a history of selling treadmill, have stable models, spare parts, after sales services and spare parts.

What is the mistakes of buyers when buy a treadmill in Pakistan? 

While buying first time customer only see cheap price, motor power & user weight. Treadmill running machine motor power are mentioned in Horse power unit. When treadmill start its HP is said continuous while when its running on full speed it is called peak HP.

So it’s normal that a treadmill had 1.5HP Continuous & 3HP Peak. Motor power determine how much user weight a treadmill machine can bear. If more than recommended weight user is using treadmill then its useful life will be decrease or it can malfunction.

Fitness Retailers don’t tell correct information: 

While buying treadmill in Pakistan please aware most of retailers don’t mentioned correct running machine HP or user weight; so don’t rely on seller information and do your own research.

Check overall exercise machine design & finishing, console functions, running deck size, Roller diameter, motor size, computer & controller quality, Auto inline and overall weight of the walking machine.

Buyer don’t check Company worth:                     

After that also investigate about company worth, model stability, warranty terms, parts availability, company electronic repair workshop and customer support staff.

Because most of treadmills are imported, at import stage Government applied duty & taxes per kg with respect to HP. Means if HP is small per kg taxes are less and if HP is high per kg taxes are high. So higher HP & more kgs means higher custom duties. Along with HP, treadmill running machine motor size, deck size, roller thickness and Net/Gross Weight are more determining factors?

So next time you compare two different companies treadmill compare these factors first and price at end.

Buyer don’t verify the specifications:

Most of home use walking treadmill imported in Pakistan are between 1HP to 2HP DC Motors, has Net/Gross Weight between 45kg to 100kg and can support between 90kg to 120kg user weight.

So the next time you see an advertisement of 3HP treadmill, having 55kg weight, user weight limit 120 kg & price around 70K – Seller is cheating on HP & User weight.

What are the Standard Console Functions of Electric Treadmills Running machines? 

1. Display Monitor: Console has the display monitor & buttons to control the treadmill function. It also called meter or computer.
2. Start/Stop button: Normally Consoles has Start/Stop button to on /off treadmill.
3. Speed Buttons: Speed Buttons to set speed and to increase or decrease.
4. Incline/Decline buttons: Incline/Decline buttons to control the elevation of the treadmill running deck.
5. Heart Rate Sensors: Heart Rate Sensors to measure heart rate during running.
7. FM & Blue tooth.
8. Wi-Fi.
9. Android touch screen.
10. USB sticks are optional.

One more important function of electric treadmill is per set programs. In preset programs user only have to choose program, each program will run for the specific time period, during this interval program auto increase of decrease the speed and also auto set incline level of treadmill.

For example: you will feel like you are running for 15Minutes in hilly areas with varies speed. We thinks it’s very interesting and must have function.

Manual Vs Auto-Incline Treadmills 

All electric treadmills has functionality to adjust elevation of one side of running deck. In incline deck position user felling is like he/she is running in hilly areas.

How treadmill running deck functions mechanically works?              

Running deck is the portion of treadmill on which user actually walk. Two rollers are attached on both side of deck, Front roller is connect with DC motor with a belt.  When treadmill start, roller start to move running belt.

Cheap treadmills has small running decks on which walking and running are difficult, especially for tall users. For walking minimum jogging area should be 48 Inch in length and 16 inch in width. Bigger jogging area means more comfortable running.

Heavier running deck and thick rollers means more stable running experience. Shock absorbing function to keep leg joints safe are also must have functions. Usually entry level treadmills don’t have good cushioning, specials rubber cushioning and other measures are employed for shock absorption on high end models treadmills.

All home use treadmill running machines are easy foldable, wheels are easy transportation inside the house. Special hydraulic shocks are attached below treadmill deck, when exercise machine unfold them shocks gently put walking deck on floor. You can lock walking deck in folding position for safety reason.

Why Apollo claims ‘Most reliable home use treadmills status in Pakistan’?                               

All other seller of treadmills exercise machine in Pakistan has these three problems

1^st.  They are just importers not brands so they don’t care quality.

2^nd. They don’t have stable models – always import new models from different factories.

3^rd. Because of large models ranges they can’t provide spare parts and repair services.

From 2005 we are souring from same factory, selling by Apollo Brand name only, and always offers 3 to 4 models at most. Actually the factory we are souring are also manufacturing for Reebok & BH fitness. You don’t need to worry about quality & reliability because we are getting same quality as European customers get.

We have spare parts availability, Electronics Repairs Workshop and trained technicians to solver customer after sales problem.
