The difference between commercial treadmills and home treadmills
The distinction between commercial treadmills and home treadmills troubles many treadmill buyers. Whether they are investors in fitness venues or ordinary fitness enthusiasts, they still have relatively little knowledge of treadmills.
So, What is the difference between commercial treadmills and home treadmills?
Size
1. Floor space (length, width, and height)
Commercial treadmills > Home treadmills Commercial treadmills are larger in size, heavier in weight, can bear more weight, and have a calm and atmospheric appearance. Home treadmills are stylish and compact, light in weight, can bear less weight, and have a relatively simple overall structure.
2. Running area (length and width of the running board)
Commercial treadmills > Home treadmills The running area of commercial treadmills is at least 150*50cm.
3. Operation panel
The operation panel of a commercial treadmill is relatively large, with more buttons and more complete functions. The panel and display screen of most home treadmills are connected, and some operations are even completed directly on the touch screen.
4. Display screen
Most commercial treadmills use large-size high-definition smart touch screens with powerful entertainment functions. Home treadmills are usually equipped with small-size LCD color screens, and some home treadmills do not have screens. These treadmills generally have APPs that can connect to mobile phones or tablets to replace the screen.
5. Armrests and columns
The armrests and columns of commercial treadmills are made of thick materials and are relatively large. The armrests and columns of home treadmills are made of thin materials and are small in size. Most armrests and columns can be folded and retracted
Material structure
Commercial treadmills have many parts, complex structures, excellent materials, and thick materials. They are durable, firm, and stable, more powerful, higher configuration, and high manufacturing costs.
Home treadmills have simple structures, thin materials, small sizes, and unique shapes, can be folded and stored, are easy to move, and have low manufacturing costs.
Motor
Commercial treadmills use AC motors, which have high motor power and high noise. The continuous power of commercial treadmills is at least 2HP, and generally can reach 3 or 4HP. Some merchants will mark the peak power (PEAK) of the motor on the motor label. Usually, the peak power of the motor is twice the continuous power.
Home treadmills generally use DC motors, which have low motor power and low noise. The continuous power of the motor of a home treadmill is usually 1-2HP, and of course, there are some lower-level treadmills with a continuous power of less than 1HP.
The continuous power of the motor indicates the amount of power that the motor can stably output when the treadmill is working continuously. That is to say, the greater the continuous horsepower of the treadmill, the longer the treadmill can work continuously and the greater the weight it can drive.
Functional configuration
The maximum speed of commercial treadmills is at least 20km/h. The slope range is 0-15%, some treadmills can reach a slope of 25%, and some treadmills have a negative slope.
The maximum speed of home treadmills varies greatly, but is usually within 20km/h. The slope is not as good as commercial ones, and some treadmills don’t even have a slope.
Usage scenarios
1. Commercial treadmills
They are suitable for commercial gyms, fitness clubs and studios, hotels and clubs, enterprises and institutions, medical rehabilitation centers, sports and educational institutions, commercial real estate and other places, which can meet the long-term use of a large number of people.
2. Home treadmills
They are suitable for families and can meet the long-term use of individuals and family members.
The above are the main differences between commercial treadmills and home treadmills. I hope it can help everyone. Thank you!
