It is also excellent value for money, offering almost the same features, with a higher speed limit and a wider area. The service and support of FitKit are also excellent across India, and you’d have no complaints whatsoever with it.

3. Cockatoo Velocity Steel DC Motorized Treadmill
Next on our list of the best treadmills in India is the Cockatoo Velocity Steel Treadmill. It is one of the best selling treadmills in India, and for a good reason. It offers excellent features, excellent warranty terms (matching PowerMax), supports higher weight than the above 2 treadmills, and even has a hydraulic folding mechanism and 3 levels of manual incline. The last 2 features are not even offered by PowerMax and FitKit. But, we’ve placed Cockatoo Velocity Steel on #3 as it has a narrow and short walking area, which makes it feel tighter than usual.
The Cockatoo Velocity Steel is another fantastic treadmill that is ideal for walking. It has a 5 inch LCD display and supports a weight of up to 100 KGs. The max speed is 12 km/h, and you can use one of the 12 built-in programs to workout.

Long story short, it has the widest walking area, has 16 level auto incline, has excellent shock absorption, and supports speed up to 16 km/h, all of which are the best in class. The downside is that the treadmill is slightly expensive, but still an excellent value for money.

6. Durafit Heavy 2.5 HP Motorised Treadmill
If you’re on a budget and the Durafit Heavy Hike is an expensive choice, then the Durafit Heavy 2.5 HP can be the perfect choice for you. It packs all the good features of the Durafit Heavy Hike, such as the powerful motor, the excellent display, the high speed, and weight support, the wide walking area, and even the shock absorption. The only difference between the Durafit Heavy Hike and the Durafit Heavy is the incline.
The Durafit Heavy Hike has a 16 level auto incline while the Durafit Heavy has a 3-level manual incline. If the incline isn’t important to you, then save some money and purchase the Durafit Heavy. It’s cheaper and offers excellent value for money. For lightweight runners, it is one of the best treadmills in India.

7. Fitkit FT200 Motorized Treadmill
The FitKit FT200 is FitKit’s answer to the Durafit treadmills as they have tried to include excellent features at a competitive price. They have succeeded in this endeavor, but not fully. They do offer many features that are excellent, such as the powerful motor, high-speed range, hydraulic folding, auto incline, and others, but they lack on 2 important things.
First, their warranty is pretty limited compared to other brands as they offer a 1-year warranty on the motor and 3-year warranty on the frame, which is less compared to some of the other brands we’ve discussed. Second is their walking area. It’s not the smallest, but it could have slightly bigger, considering that Durakit offers a bigger area for almost the same price. If you’re contending to be the best treadmill in India, you can’t ignore important things like warranty and walking area, they have to match up to the competition. Check out Fitkit FT200’s features.

Best Treadmills for Specific Demographics
Not every treadmill is created equal, and not very treadmill is supposed to be used by every person. Depending on who is going to use, the best treadmill for them is going to be different. Here are some of the best treadmills that we found for specific audiences.
Best Treadmill for Elders
For elders, having the lastest fancy features in a treadmill isn’t very useful. They would prefer a good value for money, stability, and comfort. It is important to choose a treadmill that has minimum vibrations, is very safe to use, and has excellent shock absorption.
For that, we would recommend the Powermax Fitness 100S. It has the reliability of PowerMax Treadmills, and it comes with jumping wheels and SoftFlex spring-based shock absorption, which is very safe for joints.
One thing you should know about the PowerMax Fitness 100S is that it also has a new version, called the PowerMax Fitness 100S V2. It has similar features and a lower cost. When making a final decision, you should consider the V2 version as well.
[button url=”https://amzn.to/2Qqnoa0″ target=”blank” background=”#fc2a00″ size=”11″ rel=”nofollow”]Check Best Price for V1 and V2[/button]
Best Treadmill for Runners
Whether you are into fitness generally, or you want to train hard for marathons, treadmill workouts are great to achieve both. When looking at a treadmill for runners, a few factors need to be kept in mind. The treadmill should support long-distance use, have great maximum speeds, and be safe for joints as well.
Here, you need to understand a very important point. Treadmills made for home use usually have DC Motors in them. Treadmills with DC Motors can be used for maybe upto an hour at max, after which the motor needs to rest for at least 30 minutes. As you can guess, that does not work for serious runners who are training for marathons.
People training for marathons would need treadmills with AC Motors, as they can operate for longer periods of time without rest. This will allow them to train on the treadmill without breaks.
Therefore, for runners, we will recommend 2 types of treadmills — one for casual runners, and one for marathon runners.
For casual runners, the best treadmill is the PowerMax Fitness TDA330. It is an excellent treadmill, supports a running weight of around 100 kgs, and has a maximum speed of 18.8 km/h, which is pretty great.
For marathon runners, the best treadmill for training is the PowerMax Fitness TAC 400. It has similar features to the TDA300, but the difference is that TAC 400 is powered by an AC Motor.
Best Treadmill for Housewives
Housewives have specific needs for exercise. While walking is a great exercise in itself, it is not enough for a home-maker, as they have to use their other muscles quite often. It is a good idea to work out those muscles as well apart from walking. Since home-makers are not runners, a steady treadmill with a decent motor and other exercise options works great.
Fitting that bill perfectly is the FitKit FT200. It has a 2.5 HP motor, a decent shock absorption, and other good features.
Best Treadmill for Over-weight People
For overweight people, the biggest challenge is finding a treadmill that will support that weight. Most treadmills support weights of 100-110 Kgs, but if you are heavier than that, then you will need to buy a treadmill specifically designed to handle that weight. After much research, we’ve found that PowerMax Fitness TAC-515 is the best treadmill for heavy or overweight people. It supports a maximum weight of 150 Kgs, which is more than sufficient to handle most people. For running, it can support a weight of around 125 kgs, which is excellent as well.
How To Select the Best Treadmill For You – Treadmill Buying Guide
Selecting a treadmill is not the easiest thing in the world. You need to know a lot about how you are going to use the treadmill to come to a good decision. We’ve highlighted some of these factors in 2 of our buying guides about treadmills, which you can read by clicking here and here. We will highlight some of those factors here as well.
There are 2 types of factors that you need to consider when you’re purchasing a treadmill. The first depends on who is going to use it; the second factor is how they are going to use it. Once you’ve decided these, then you look at specific treadmill brands and try to find the best treadmill in India for them.
Who Is Going To Use it
The first characteristic that you need to understand is who is going to use the treadmill. What is their age, health, weight, body structure? These are the things that need to be considered.
Age of Person Using the Treadmill
As you age, you generally tend to gain weight, and your joints become weaker. If you gain weight, then your body’s circumference also increases. Depending on the age of the person using the treadmill, you will choose the treadmill’s walking area, shock absorption, and other safety features.
Weight of the Person Using the Treadmill
As you probably understood by now, treadmill motor capacity is what decides how fast the treadmill can operate. Also, each treadmill has a max user weight rating, which is determined not only by the motor but also by the frame strength and other factors. You can’t realistically expect a 150kg person to work out on a treadmill with a 2 HP motor without breaking it.
Number of People Using It
A treadmill that is used by a single person is going to be under vastly different load that a treadmill that is used by multiple people often. That is why you see treadmills in the gym are different that the treadmills for home use. When you’re looking for the best treadmill in India, think about this first. How many people in your family are going to use a treadmill, and what are their requirements. Look at the factors that we’re highlighting here are, and make sure each member’s needs are being met. If you live in a joint family where many people will use the treadmill, or you are buying a treadmill for your society gym, then you should consider buying a commercial or semi-commercial gym.
How Are They Going To Use The Treadmill
The next set of factors is influenced by how the treadmill is going to be used. Let us discuss the important factors.
Running Speed
How fast do you want to run on the treadmill is going to determine how powerful the motor needs to be. The faster you want to go; the more powerful the motor is needed to manage the load.
Usage Time
If you’re going to use the treadmill for just 30 minutes a day, then almost all treadmills will fit this requirement. However, if you’re training for a marathon and want to practice for more than an hour in a single session, you will need a treadmill that fits that bill. Generally, treadmills designed for long-duration uses have AC motors inside.
Incline
Having an incline is a great way to make a simple walk intense. Treadmills today have 3 types of inclines. Manual, Automatic, and none. If you don’t care for the incline feature, you can safely pick any treadmill. But, if you are interested in using the incline feature, you need to keep that in mind when looking for the best treadmill in India. Also, keep in mind the amount of incline supported by the treadmill you choose. The general range for incline goes from 0 degrees to upto 16 degrees.
Health Tracking Features
Most treadmills have some sort of health tracking nowadays, which can include heart rate tracking, body fat tracking, speed, duration, time, and calories burned. But the problem is that not all treadmills implement these features well. Some are just poorly designed, and some do the job well but are widely inaccurate. Therefore, you should definitely research the features important in this area before deciding on the best treadmill in India.
Storage Options
Treadmills are huge, and when you’re not using, you should put it away. If your treadmill is not easy to fold or store, then you’re going to have a hard time using it, and you may end up not using the treadmill at all. In your hunt for the best treadmill in India for home use, you should consider how easy it is to move and store the treadmill. Most motorized treadmills are foldable, but all folding mechanisms are not equal. Some treadmills have hydraulic locking mechanisms, which make them super-easy to fold and unfold, which makes a better choice for most people.
App Connectivity
Some treadmills are now offering apps that you can download on your phone, and then the treadmill sends health data to your phone. This feature is still in the nascent stages on most treadmills, so don’t expect great results. However, it is still worthwhile, and you should consider it.
Other Treadmill Specific Factors
Apart from the important factors that we discussed above, there are few things you should consider that are specific to the treadmill you choose. If you’re looking for the best treadmill in India, then you should leave no stone unturned to find the best, right? Here are some of the features that you should also consider.
Brand Reputation
The treadmill brand makes a lot of difference. A brand with a good reputation means that they know what they are doing and have a proven track record in making good treadmills. For example, we covered PowerMax Treadmills on our website, as they are one of the best selling treadmill brands in India.
Interface
The right interface can make or break the user experience. Think of it like this. An F1 car is a superb car and definitely more powerful than any car that you would purchase. But, if you look at the interface, you won’t be able to understand or use anything. Similarly, the interface to use the treadmill should be intuitive and friendly.
Warranty
It goes without saying that the warranty is an important aspect to consider when you’re looking to buy the best treadmill in India. You might be tempted by a low price, but it will come to bite you later. It is wise to invest a little extra money to get a treadmill with a great warranty. A good treadmill brand should have at least a 3-year warranty for the motor, 1-year warranty on parts and labor, and a lifetime warranty on the frame.
Service Quality and Promptness
A treadmill is a mechanical piece of equipment, and eventually, you will need to get it serviced or repaired. Then, the quality of service will decide your experience. Always buy a treadmill from a brand that has a stellar service record. Make sure that they provide service in your area before buying a treadmill; else, you will have to wait for weeks before a person can service your treadmill. Always keep the service phone numbers secure in case you need them in the future.
Treadmills can have an AC motor or a DC motor, depending on the need. Most treadmills for home use will have DC motors, as they are cheaper. On the other hand, most commercial or semi-commercial treadmills will have AC motors. AC motors are more expensive, but they can be operated for longer periods of time without rest. Also, DC motors are slightly noisy as compared to AC motors.
It depends on the country the treadmill is sold in. For example, the USA uses the imperial system, and there, the treadmills would show the distance in miles. In India, where we use the metric system, the treadmills show the speed in Kilometers.
Using the treadmill after any meal is more of a personal choice than a scientific guideline. Some people feel better when they have a meal before jogging, some people after. You can try both and see how it feels to you. Follow a simple guideline; if the meal hampers with your workout in any way (you feel to heavy, or other symptoms), then you should avoid it. If you don’t feel energetic to jog after dinner, it is possible that the food did not have enough time to digest. Increase the interval between dinner and the run, and you should be good.
During the use of a treadmill, it is normal for it to move a few inches, especially if you are jogging. That is why a distance of 1 foot on the front and sides is more than enough. However, the back should be as far away from the wall as possible to avoid injuries in case of a treadmill accident.
No. There is no scientific evidence that using a treadmill affects your height.
It is not mandatory to use a stabilizer with a treadmill, as the motors can manage slight fluctuations by themselves. However, if you live in an area with frequent power fluctuations, then you should definitely use a stabilizer with your treadmill.
No, running or walking or treadmill every day is not bad at all. In fact, it will positively affect your health in many ways. However, if you’re not using the right treadmill, or using the treadmill in the right way, you may run into some issues. Our treadmill comparison above should serve as a good guide on which treadmill is best for you.
Awesome article shared. Thank you very for such nice, quality and meaningful information.
Thank you for this informative article
Thank you Harsh. Glad you liked it.
Hello, which is the best for elders?
Shikha, we recommend the Durafit Heavy Hike 2.5 HP Treadmill – https://amzn.to/2FmbrhB as it has a decent motor and has shock absorption built in, which is essential for elders.
Why have you included only 1-2 treadmill from Power Max when they are bestselling treadmill?

Found it very informative. Thanks for the minute update. However, price not shown in Amazon.

Good comparision
Thank you.
Should we get manual treadmill or only electric ones?
We recommend electric (motorized) treadmill as they are easy on the joints.
Is 2 HP motor good for person of 95 kgs
We recommend a motor of at-least 2.5 CHP Ajay. Most treadmills list their maximum supported weight, you should refer to that. It’s worth knowing that you should add a buffer of 20-25kg if you’re looking to run.
I wan to buy a treadmill for home my weight is 85 kg and I want to run on treadmill on daily basis what HP motor treadmill should I buy.. and which machine of what brand will be good for me plz answer my question

Hi,
Thank you for your advice, I shortlisted FITKIT FT200 series 2.25 HP (4.5 HP peak) with amazon online price 29990.00 , KIndly advice if it fits our home need for 3 users daily about 25 days in a month.
From what you’ve mentioned, the FitKit FT200 looks good. Make sure to conduct maintenance every couple of months for long life of the treadmill.
Thanks for such an informative article. I was confused while buying it offline vs online, as in online specially in case of Powermax , I saw a lot of -ve reviews regarding service.
Also I have shortlisted below two options, as locally only Avon Treadmills are available in Ambala.
So I had to choose between Avon TM-300 ( Offline ) – Rs58,500 vs Durafit Heavy Hike ( Online )Amazon – Out of stock.
Required Usage – Me & my father – jogging and light running till 10 km/h. User weight – 70-80 kg. Require good width speed, reliable and good quality.
Please provide your inputs and suggestions for the same.
Arjun, from these options, the Durafit Heavy Hike is the best choice. But, as the Avon TM-300 is also a decent buy.
