Where can you get a cheap treadmill? That will be the topic of our little investigation here. And please rest assured that there certainly are forums and places, stores even, that specialize in bringing cheap treadmills to those of us consumers who don’t necessarily believe it is always wise to buy something brand new and pay a big premium on that. It’s much smarter to be a sort of cherry picker, because in this industry there exist all types of sub-markets aside from the showroom overpriced “buy it before you think about it” venue.

In fact, it’s almost hard to not run into places that are selling cheap treadmills. They have ProForms, Soles, and even Golds Gym machines for less than you could get elsewhere. Even on places like Craigslist, you can find them sometimes. Just go to it and look under the For Sale category. Wade through all the garbage and you’ll probably find a couple listings of people looking to unload a used cheap treadmill to the first person willing to part with a bit of cash. Now, this can be a treacherous path to go down though, because there certainly are scam artists out there, and you don’t necessarily have a technician’s eye to know if what you’re buying is going to fall apart within the first week of use. I’m sure no individual is going to give you a warranty.

Use common sense to find your treadmill...


That’s why I always tell people to put common sense ahead of all else. Use your people reading skills too. To get a great deal on a cheap electric treadmill, you have to hunt like a wolf. You have to be sly and sneaky without losing your morality. And you always have to make a major assessment of the seller, no matter what the case is. I’m not trying to paint a bleak picture at all here. But I don’t want to be part of anyone’s demise. Just be smart and it’ll all work out. There are literally thousands of valid places to buy cheap treadmills, and I’m sure you will more than likely end up dealing with one of these reputable dealers

At some point, you just have to pull the trigger...

The bottom line is that it is vital to look around a little, but not to the point of exhaustion. As soon as you get your treadmill home, you’re going to switch into a solid running discipline hopefully, and when that happens I want you to not have to have a second thought about your purchase. This will only happen if you’ve been smart and cheap about it.

But before you get started, you might want to have a little treadmill fun...

I hear you. I have been doing a lot of treadmill research to write my hubs, and I am amazed at the prices on high end machines. But as you can see, you can find a cheap treadmill if you take the time to look.

I like my treadmill to have a fairly thick tread, I have a vision fitness, expensive, but worth it for the quality.
