What It Is
This is the most universal cardio machine in the gym. You can walk, jog, run, or sprint — flat or uphill. Speed and incline are fully adjustable, so you control everything. Whether you're warming up, doing intervals, or stacking up miles, this machine covers it all.
Score Recap
Burn Output: 8/10
Running is weight-bearing and hits big muscle groups, especially with incline. Strong calorie burn, especially when pace is pushed.
Sprint/HIIT Use: 6/10
You can do intervals, but the motor delays speed changes. Not ideal for short sprints unless you preset speed or jump on/off.
Training Versatility: 10/10
From walking to sprinting, steady pace to hill climbs — no machine matches its range of use. Works for every level and every goal.
Best Used For
If you want structured cardio, incline walking, or controlled endurance training, the treadmill is your go-to. It's simple, scalable, and works for anyone.
