Treadmills

A treadmill is a piece of cardio equipment that lets you walk and run indoors. It's used to improve cardiovascular fitness, for weight loss and for regular training.

The biggest advantage of a treadmill is that you can train whatever the weather — ideal for home and commercial gyms.

ATLETICA offers treadmills for home and commercial gyms — from compact models to professional machines:

• Folding treadmills: space-saving, ideal for a home gym
• Non-folding treadmills: maximum stability and performance
• Slat-belt treadmills: extremely durable, natural running feel

Treadmills differ mainly in running surface, motor power and construction.

High-end models use AC motors, which are especially quiet, durable and powerful. You'll find them in models like the TrailMaster, Runmaster and SprintMaster .

Training on a treadmill gives you a controlled training environment with individually adjustable speed and incline.

• Joint-friendly training thanks to cushioning systems
• Customizable training programs
• Tracking of calorie burn and performance
• Training whatever the weather

When buying a treadmill, these factors matter most:

• Space: folding or non-folding
• Usage: how often you'll use it and how intensely you train
• Stability & load capacity: important for safety
• Connectivity: apps, tracking, training programs
• Display: size, ease of use, features

ATLETICA is happy to advise you on finding the right treadmill for your training goals.

A treadmill's cushioning is crucial for joint-friendly training. It reduces the load on your knees, hips and spine.

High-end treadmills like the Runmaster feature an 8-point cushioning system with targeted damping in the main impact zones.

For a long service life, a treadmill should be maintained regularly:

• Silicone lubrication of the underside of the running belt
• Cleaning off sweat and moisture
• Regular checks as described in the user manual

Yes, a treadmill is ideal for beginners because it allows controlled, safe training.

Beginners can start at a low speed and increase it step by step. Many models offer dedicated beginner programs.

The main difference between treadmill and outdoor running is the lack of wind resistance and the even surface.

An incline of 1–2% on the treadmill simulates outdoor running. At the same time, treadmill training is often easier on your joints.

The right treadmill depends on your training goals, the space you have available and how intensively you plan to use it.

• For home: folding treadmills for space-saving training
• For regular training: non-folding treadmills with high stability
• For intensive use: professional models with an AC motor

Factors like running surface, cushioning, motor power and connectivity also play a key role. ATLETICA has the right treadmill for every need — from beginner to pro.
