Most people looking to buy a treadmill are interested in getting a discount. We all want to save money and get a higher quality product right?
So where can you go to find huge discounts on quality, brand name treadmills? There are several legitimate ways to get a discount treadmill which we'll outline in this article.
Please note that we're not saying: 'buy a cheap treadmill'. With treadmills, you definitely don't want to skimp on quality.
A cheap, unstable treadmill with improper cushioning and low quality parts will not only cost you in repairs but in health. You can ruin your joints and cause long term damage.
So we're not saying 'Go cheap' with your treadmill. What we are saying is that there ARE several ways to get a high quality treadmill for a discount price.
Here are several ways to get a significant discount on your treadmill:
#1) Buy From An Online Store
There are several online treadmill stores that sell a large variety of high quality, brand name treadmills directly to you. Because they are not paying the overhead costs of a store, these savings get passed on to you and you can often save hundreds of dollars on a brand name treadmill.
Plus, most of these stores will give you free shipping (which can save you up to $150). And you can even save on sales tax in some areas.
Examples of the most popular online treadmill stores are:
- Workout Warehouse - And official Icon treadmill brand dealer - sells Icon brands like Proform, Nordic Track, Healthrider, Image, Weslo and Reebok.
- Amazon - Yes, even Amazon now sells treadmills through 3rd party sellers. You can find brands like Landice, Spirit, Tunturi, Keys, Noramco, Bowflex, Steelflex and more.
#2) Buy Directly From The Treadmill Manufacturer
Some treadmill manufacturers will sell their treadmills directly to the consumer. By skipping the middleman (the store) you also save on the mark up price that the store has to add to make a profit.
This can, again, save you hundreds of dollars and get you a brand name treadmill for a discount price. Like online stores, when you buy directly online from the treadmill manufacturer, you also can usually get free shipping and even save on sales tax.
Examples of the most popular online treadmill manufacturers are:
- Sole - sells Sole treadmills directly to the consumer (free shipping)
- Smooth - sells Smooth treadmills at up to 45% off the retail price
#3) Win a Brand Name Treadmill
While we don't recommend this if you're really serious about getting your own treadmill, there are ways to win a treadmill. For example, several treadmill websites have monthly contests that allow you to enter a draw for one of their treadmills.
And hey - if you get it for free, that's definitely a discount treadmill! (Then again, you might be waiting a very long time!)
Sites that offer free draws are:
- Healthrider - offers a monthly Hot Draw for a Healthrider product
