4 Treadmill Options From Roombldr
One of the most popular exercise equipment pieces found in a fitness room is a treadmill, which can have several awesome benefits and is a great place to start in a home fitness room design. You can also burn some serious calories when you factor in the incline feature into your workout, while also reducing the impact on your body (compared to running outside). Below are 4 awesome treadmill options we like from a few of our vendors.
Side note- if you are evaluating what fitness streaming options are available, check out our previous post for our recommendations on content choices for your fitness room.
Life Fitness Club Series Plus Treadmill
Roombldr Insight: We like this piece because of its quality, sleek design, frame color choices, and console options. The “FlexDeck” cushioning system (springlike shock absorbers which reduce knee and joint stress by up to 30 percent more than non-cushioned surfaces) is as good as it gets when it comes to treadmill cushioning. It also has a very low profile and step-up height, which is good for lower ceiling heights. The commercial version (we can explain the differences) of this unit is the Integrity Series Treadmill, and is used by the most innovative and high use facilities in the world including Marriott and Planet Fitness. This piece is available in our 3D room design services.

Cascade Ultra Runner Treadmill
Roombldr Insight: As far as non-motorized slat tread treadmills go, this is one of the best on the market. Non-motorized curved treadmills are growing in popularity and can even have significantly higher heart rates and oxygen uptake variables compared with those using motorized treadmills. The magnetic resistance feature is cool and unique and great for interval training. Very space efficient design and the console is simple and intuitive, which means you aren’t paying for features you won’t use. It is also commercial rated and durable enough to be used in gyms and health clubs. Cascade has some of the best cardio products available for the price, and we like that they are constantly trying to innovate and make their products different, while keeping high standards in quality.
Based in Woodinville, WA, Cascade Health and Fitness was founded over 25 years ago to bring the industry the best performing health and fitness products, at the best prices.

Walk or run at your own pace then add resistance to burn more calories and add variety to your workout. Comfortable handlebars accommodate all user sizes and facilitate different exercises. Premium anti-slip molded rubber slats with sealed bearings create an exceptionally quiet and smooth running surface and reduce friction wear and tear.

Roombldr Insight: One of the leaders in the “connected fitness” field, with access to over 40 daily live classes and also thousands of on-demand classes, which are engaging and fun. We like this piece because it is built for club usage, so the hardware is very durable (more so than other connected fitness brands) and designed for high use applications.

Cybex R Series Treadmill
Roombldr Insight: Cybex treadmills are a direct result of extensive research into the biomechanics of running (we love their approach to creating products). The IS4 Intelligent Suspension System caters to runners by providing a gradual deflection progression leading to “soft” landing on a large portion of the tread area. It matches the mechanics of running— soft upon landing, firm in the middle and rigid at toe-off. Very sleek and modern looking design. Cybex offers a complete innovative catalogue of both strength and cardio products, most of which are available in our design software.
Cybex has been creating and delivering high-performance, science-based fitness machines for over 45 years. They are a trusted partner to health clubs, YMCAs, JCCs, professional sports teams, colleges, universities, country clubs, and offices throughout the world.

Rooted in the Cybex history of effective cardio equipment, but with a sleek modern look that earned it a 2018 Good Design Award from the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design.
