I've researched hundreds of fitness equipment machines and continue to do so. As a result I created a list of my top picks called HQ's Top Picks.

I wanted to organize my top picks by price because that's probably the most important specification people look at when shopping for fitness equipment. However, my dilemma was choosing whether to organize by the MSRP or the sales price. I went with MSRP because it remains constant.

IMPORTANT: The pricing range a given top pick is listed under is likely not the price you pay. Fitness equipment is discounted and on sale all the time. Therefore go into the reviews and compare prices with the variety of retailers I set out where you can buy a particular item.

Why Publish Treadmill Reviews HQ and What I Do

Exercise is integral in my life. I love it and I love learning about it, and now I get to write about exercise and the equipment I use.

In order to write quality and informative elliptical, home gym, exercise bike, and treadmill reviews, I read up on each product and program as much as I can. I use the equipment and programs when feasible. My aim is to give you the important information in an easy-to-read format. I think you'll find the grid-style fitness equipment reviews informative and easy-to-read.

With a treadmill you can run, walk uphill, run uphill, walk slowly, sprint, intervals, design Iight loss workouts ... you name it, you can create a great workout. Besides, walking and running are two very natural movements our bodies perform. Exercising our bodies in that way simply makes sense to me.

With an elliptical trainer you get a full body cardio and resistance workout that is low impact. I like ellipticals because they offer variety.

Exercise bikes come in a variety of styles - upright, recumbent, and spinning. Cycling is a terrific training activity on its own or as a complement to other exercise activities.

Home gyms these days are well-built and offer full-body resistance training in the comfort of your own home.

Whether you opt for cardio equipment such as a treadmill, elliptical trainer, and/or an exercise bike, or resistance training equipment such as a home gym or an in-home workout program such as P90X, you will enjoy the convenience of working out in your home when you want and for as long as you want.
