Commercial Treadmills: The Heavy Duty Treadmills
For Advanced Users
by Javier Fuller
Commercial treadmills are not meant to serve individual
workout needs. Instead they are used for commercial purposes in
gyms and fitness clubs. Most of the physical trainers who own a
gym or a fitness club are in great need of good commercial treadmills
that could sustain constant usage. These treadmills are needed to
be much strongly built in order to cope up with over use and harsher
treatments.
These commercial treadmills are often called heavy
duty treadmills because of their high horsepower motor that is specially
designed to bear constant and rigorous workouts. These heavy duty
treadmills have their horsepower efficiency around and above three
HP when on continuous duty.

manufactured and designed to suit conditions at a gym. For example
these commercial tread equipments come with a belt of four ply instead
of two ply belt that you find in treadmills used for individual
purposes.

need for commercial treadmills were expected to decrease. But contrarily
commercial treadmills happen to be equally sought after and almost
all leading brands have climbed on the band wagon for producing
these business tread equipments.

exercises.

treadmill and a commercial treadmill seems blurred today as even

and stability. These commercial grade machines are also lighter
than business tread equipments.
