Treadmill Question for entry

[Sunshine]

I tried to link this to my email that I used to enter the contest which was [email protected] but it would not link. So, I used [email protected] which immediately worked. Both are my accounts. I do not have instagram nor facebook ( I know rare these days). 

Anyway, my question to the forum pertains to: Which treadmills have the best sound quality when it comes down to music? I also would love to know when looking at cheap affordable treadmills ($300-$600) which ones are the best for someone who will do a light sprint?

I look forward to watching more videos since I have subscribed to your Youtube channel!

Good luck everyone!

Hey Sunshine, 

When you get under $1000, treadmill quality tends to decrease. However, there are a few options. I'd start with the Horizon T101. It's inexpensive but a good starting treadmill. 

Typically, treadmill speakers are sub-par at best. Most people use Bluetooth headphones. However, for overall sound quality we'd probably recommend the Peloton Tread or Nordictrack x22i. The speakers on both these treadmills are better than lower-priced models.

Question: how do you know if your treadmill is correctly calibrated specifically the correct speed? And how often does a treadmill require maintenance, if it being run on at least 4x a week roughly 5 miles a time?

Super excited to follow along on social and watch/read your reviews!

Thanks so much!

The calibration process is slightly different for each treadmill. That information will either be in the manual or you can ask customer care about it when you purchase the machine. Most treadmills come pre-calibrated, so only a few will need this service. Treadmill maintenance is highly impacted by your local humidity, how often a treadmill is used, and the ambient temperature of where it is placed. For example, if you have a treadmill in a cold, damp basement or garage, it will probably need to be lubricated more often than if it's indoors in a temperature-controlled room.

I received an email from Michael saying I have not joined the forum for the contest but it won't let me use my school email here to sign up. So I used my other email account. But I have done everything to sign up for the contest!
