Lucky for you, we’ve tested many of them and got you covered with some honest reviews of some of NYC’s popular gym classes.

Soul Cycle

Soul Cycle is a great choice if you’re looking to do spin in a fun, supportive, and non-competitive environment. They often have fun-themed rides, which is great for fans of pop sensations like Taylor Swift. The trainers are really high energy and motivational. It is not the most budget-friendly option, however; so if you’re looking for a less expensive option, Cyclebar is also great.

Barry’s

Barry’s is excellent if you’re looking to torch calories and be challenged. It’s a tough workout combining speed intervals on the treadmill followed by weight sessions. This is also on the costlier side, so if you’re looking for a more affordable option, Orange Theory is an option.

Rumble Boxing

Rumble is excellent for core and cardio movements in a high-energy workout environment. The class combines boxing sessions with weight training for the ultimate HIIT and sweat session. 

Mile High Run Club

This boutique gym has a few studios across NYC and offers speed and interval treadmill training and is taught by expert running coaches. This is an excellent option for those training for a race, or just looking to add some cardio to their routines.

]]> You might look a little funny doing it, but once you hear of the serious benefits from walking backwards on a treadmill, you won’t even care! If you struggle from knee pain or want a fun exercise to improve your balance and core strength, walking backwards on the treadmill is the exercise for you. Although walking backwards originated as an exercise recommended by physical therapists for patients recovering from knee surgery, it is quickly becoming a new fitness trend. Here’s why you need to start walking backwards on the treadmill.

Reduce Knee Pain

Walking backwards on the treadmill improves the joints’ mobility and strengthens the muscles surrounding your knee. This can significantly reduce (or even get rid of!) knee pain that is caused by surgery or incorrect shock absorption. Walking backwards for even just a few minutes has the potential to reduce or completely get rid of your knee pain!

Core Stability

Challenging the body to walk backwards forces new muscles to work in order to keep your balance in the new pattern of movement. This improves balance and core strength, as it will be difficult when you first start walking backwards. Once you get used to the movement, you can even add an incline or pick up speed to really fire up those muscles!

]]> It’s easy to hop on the treadmill and fiddle with the settings. And while you can get a good workout by doing that, it’s good to know exactly how to get the very most you can out of your treadmill run. Here are some things to keep in mind that may not have occurred to you to check.

Use an Incline

Walking on a slight incline is a good way to ensure you get the right resistance out of your walk and run. Think about it: with the mat moving under you and no wind resistance or unevenness like outside, no incline is easier than a normal run. Don’t overdo it though, as too high an incline for extended periods of time can cause undue strain.

Use Music or TV to Stay Focused

Sometimes the best way to run is to let yourself get lost in a show or playlist and let your body take over. The natural breaks for commercials or a new song will also give you a sense of when it’s time to ramp up or cool down. Remember, if you do watch TV, make sure you don’t need to turn your head to do so because prolonged head turning will strain your neck!

Don’t Forget Warmup and Cool-down

With a treadmill, it’s easier to get a head start and to stop immediately when you’re done because you just press the buttons, instead of needing to make yourself go faster or walk home when you’re done. But warmup and cool-down are important for your heart rate. If your machine has a heart rate sensor you can use that to ensure you’re raising and lowering safely.

]]> Learning how to use a treadmill is not very hard and it’s also essential for anyone who wants to exercise on this cardio machine. A treadmill can be dangerous if used improperly, so here are a few safety guidelines on how to use it safely.

Leave Enough Space

One of the first things that you need to do before your workout is to make sure that there is enough space around the treadmill. Remove any objects that could cause injuries because even the most experienced runners can accidentally fall while using the treadmill.

Don’t Step Off a Moving Treadmill

Even though this is obvious, it’s important to remember that you should always pause or shut off the treadmill before stepping off because a moving treadmill can be dangerous for people around it.

Look Forward

Looking at your feet or to the side is a common mistake among beginners that can easily cause you to lose balance and fall. To avoid this scenario it’s important to always look forward while running on a treadmill.

Don’t Run Barefoot

Just because you’re exercising from the comfort of your home doesn’t mean you can run on a treadmill barefoot. Always wear running shoes when using a treadmill in order to improve workouts and prevent injuries.

]]> New treadmills can be quite pricey, so if you’re looking to buy one for your home gym, you’re probably tempted to get a used treadmill. Here are a few reasons why that’s not the greatest idea, and why it’s better to buy a new one.

You’ll Spend Less In The Long Run

Affordable pricing is the main reason why people buy used exercise equipment but is it affordable in the long run? When you buy a used treadmill, chances are that you won’t have a warranty, so in case something breaks down you’ll have to pay for expensive repairs.

The Quality

The truth is that when buying a used treadmill, you can’t really know how many people have used it before and if they really took good care of it. If you do decide to buy a used treadmill, make sure that it’s in good condition and stick to quality brands.

Buy The Latest Technology

Another thing to keep in mind is that buying used treadmills means that you’ll get older technology and you’ll miss out on all the cool features that new machines have to offer.

Order Online

If you decide to buy a new treadmill, you can do it from the comfort of your home by simply ordering online. On the other hand, buying used equipment should be done in person because you have to check its condition.

]]> When it gets cold outside, running on a treadmill is a great way to get your cardio in. However, chances are you’ve been running on the treadmill incorrectly. So, how should you run on the treadmill to get the most effective workout?

NASM-certified trainer at Fhitting Room and Running Mechanics Performance Coach L2, Ben Lauder-Dykes, posted his tips for how to run on the treadmill and one of them is something many of us have been doing wrong for years.

It turns out that you shouldn’t run too close to the front of the treadmill and that you should be able to see your feet when you look down—they shouldn’t be hidden by the console.

“Imagine you were running outside and then someone stepped in front of you,” he told POPSUGAR. “If you just tried to stop your feet, you would probably still fall into that person because you have some forward momentum, so it wouldn’t work. To safely decelerate and stop, you would have to shorten your stride to take smaller steps and lower your hips to be able to slow down.”

In addition to not having enough room to take full strides, you’re increasing the impact on your body, which can lead to injuries.

Other suggestions Lauder-Dykes mentions are warming up, letting yourself fall back a bit on the tread and then speeding up to move forwards, and adding an incline.

Are you ready to implement these tips for a better treadmill workout? We certainly are!

]]> Home workouts are more and more popular and the popularity of the Peloton fitness program has been increasing as well. Two things have kept many people from ordering their own Peloton machines: their price and size. The company is now sharing some good news—the new Tread machine is coming and it will be more affordable and easier to fit in smaller spaces.

The Peloton Tread is a smaller version of the brand’s famous Tread+ machine. While Tread+ costs $4,295, its smaller cousin will cost $2,495. It’s announced to come out in March 2021.

The price is objectively still high, but it allows you to get the Peloton’s famous HD touchscreen and sound system for half the cost of the Tread+. You won’t get the $39/month subscription for unlimited classes, though, unless you buy it separately.

If you’re unsure if Peloton machines are the right choice for you, you can visit one of the brand’s stores and try them out before making a final decision.

As for their bikes, there are already two versions available—Bike and Bike+, with many different classes available for all the users.

TRX Cables

Using TRX cables to carry out training builds flexibility, balance, strength, and coordination. 

Punching Bag

This form of workout is one of the best for the stress you may be feeling right now. 

Jump Rope

This way of exercising my seam easy and simple, but in reality, it’s not. Jumping rope will challenge your agility, heart rate, condition, and coordination.

Treadmill

Taking a walk is an easy way to improve your condition and health, and putting in a little bit more effort will give great results. Having a treadmill as a piece of your home gym equipment is the real deal and adding a stationary bike next to it is even better.

Treadmill Workouts For Fat Loss

In the first minute do a light jog to warm up your legs then increase the speed to your running pace for 1 minute, then run faster for a minute, then sprint for another minute. Walk for a minute. Increase the incline by 3% and do the same run, fast run, sprint. You can keep increasing the incline and doing the same 1-1-1 for another 3 rounds. Make sure you do a light jog to cool down/recover at the end.

Run It. 🏃🏻‍♀️

15-Minute Treadmill HIIT workout

Do a 2-minute warm-up jog and then for the next 5 minutes increase the incline depending on your fitness. Decrease the speed for a recovery jog and then for a 2 minutes run fast. Decrease the speed again for a recovery jog and for the last 4 minutes do 30-second sprints followed by 30-second recoveries.

Treadmill Workout For Improving Speed

Estimate your fastest 1-minutes sprint that you are able to do on a treadmill. Start your workout 4km/h below that speed. Do a 2-3 minute jog and then for the first 1.5 minutes run at the speed under your max increasing the incline by 1% every 30 seconds. Recover on 0% incline for 1.5 minutes. Continue this sequence for 9 minutes, increasing your incline 1%. For the last 7 minutes do 30 seconds on a 7% incline and then drop the incline and add 1km/hr, recover and then add 2km/hr until you reach your maximum speed. Make sure to cool down at the end.

#TealsTipTuesday – Treadmill Edition ••• I’m pretty sure that I’ve logged more treadmill miles in the first 8 weeks of my @bostonmarathon training cycle than my entire running life combined. Spending this much time on the 'mill has definitely been an adjustment but luckily I’ve picked up a few hacks that have really helped. ••• 1⃣ For runs without certain target paces, I am always increasing and decreasing the pace and incline by .1 or .2. This more closely matches running outside and also helps break things up. I play games in my head like when the time hits 22:22, I’ll increase .2 for both pace and incline etc. 2⃣ Embrace the suck. I’ve started thinking of the treadmill as a way to improve my mental toughness and just acknowledge that it’s going to be harder than running outside. I know that thinking back to all of the times I grinded out 10+ miles on the treadmill will help carry me through when Boston gets tough. 3⃣ Save something for treadmill time. I always watch Netflix on my iPad during longer runs and having #Cheer to watch has actually made me look forward to my indoor runs. I also save podcast episodes that I’m excited about to listen to during the short stuff. 4⃣ The biggest change I’ve made to make treadmill running more manageable is to focus on my effort and not the actual pace. I have always found that any pace on the treadmill feels 10x harder than it does outside. Which means that I reallyyyy struggle during long marathon or threshold paced efforts and actually can’t make it through without falling off which completely destroys my confidence. I’ve run long enough to know what those paces feel like outside so that’s what I do. I throw my towel over the screen and increase the pace until it matches what I know I’d be feeling like outside. This has helped me 1 million percent. ••• Do you have any other treadmill hacks? I still have a lot of miles ahead of me!

If you happen to be one of them, you’ve probably considered investing in your own home treadmill, but here are a few things to consider before making that purchase.

Taking Up Space

Owning a treadmill can be a great motivational boost, but this machine is pretty big and it doesn’t perfectly fit into every home. Before finalizing your purchase, make sure you can clear up enough space for your treadmill, especially if you live in a small apartment.

That post #Saturday60 sweaty smile, tho. . . This is my favorite workout of the week- nothing makes me feels stronger, both inside and out, then doing a Saturday 60 bootcamp with @jsimsfit . I let go of everything that was on my shoulders all week long, push past my limits time and time again through the sprints and the reps and I am left absolutely drenched but so incredible ready to enjoy the weekend. . . I want all of you to take one with me so you can experience this kind of sweat magic. Maybe next week? . . Until then, add this song to your running (or life) playlist- “I am Here” by PiNK. She played it in class today and I was okaaaay, this song is everything. Let me@know what you think! . . Do you have a workout you look forward to every week? What is it and why is it your favorite?

Outdoor Running

Having your own treadmill is a great way to save some money on a gym membership, but outdoor running comes even cheaper. Make sure to try it first, because it’s much more beneficial than running on a treadmill, and it won’t cost you a thing.

Better Alternatives

In addition to taking up too much space and being pretty expensive, the treadmill isn’t even the best workout machine on the market. Elliptical and StepMill can give you a much better workout, but you can also find countless equipment-free workouts online.

]]> New treadmills can be quite pricey, so if you’re looking to buy one for your home gym, you’re probably tempted to get a used treadmill. Here are a few reasons why that’s not the greatest idea, and why it’s better to buy a new one.

You’ll Spend Less In The Long Run

Affordable pricing is the main reason why people buy used exercise equipment but is it affordable in the long run? When you buy a used treadmill, chances are that you won’t have a warranty, so in case something breaks down you’ll have to pay for expensive repairs.

The Quality

The truth is that when buying a used treadmill, you can’t really know how many people have used it before and if they really took good care of it. If you do decide to buy a used treadmill, make sure that it’s in good condition and stick to quality brands.

Buy The Latest Technology

Another thing to keep in mind is that buying used treadmills means that you’ll get older technology and you’ll miss out on all the cool features that new machines have to offer.

Order Online

If you decide to buy a new treadmill, you can do it from the comfort of your home by simply ordering online. On the other hand, buying used equipment should be done in person because you have to check its condition.

]]> When it gets cold outside, running on a treadmill is a great way to get your cardio in. However, chances are you’ve been running on the treadmill incorrectly. So, how should you run on the treadmill to get the most effective workout?

NASM-certified trainer at Fhitting Room and Running Mechanics Performance Coach L2, Ben Lauder-Dykes, posted his tips for how to run on the treadmill and one of them is something many of us have been doing wrong for years.

It turns out that you shouldn’t run too close to the front of the treadmill and that you should be able to see your feet when you look down—they shouldn’t be hidden by the console.

“Imagine you were running outside and then someone stepped in front of you,” he told POPSUGAR. “If you just tried to stop your feet, you would probably still fall into that person because you have some forward momentum, so it wouldn’t work. To safely decelerate and stop, you would have to shorten your stride to take smaller steps and lower your hips to be able to slow down.”

In addition to not having enough room to take full strides, you’re increasing the impact on your body, which can lead to injuries.

Other suggestions Lauder-Dykes mentions are warming up, letting yourself fall back a bit on the tread and then speeding up to move forwards, and adding an incline.

Are you ready to implement these tips for a better treadmill workout? We certainly are!

]]> Home workouts are more and more popular and the popularity of the Peloton fitness program has been increasing as well. Two things have kept many people from ordering their own Peloton machines: their price and size. The company is now sharing some good news—the new Tread machine is coming and it will be more affordable and easier to fit in smaller spaces.

The Peloton Tread is a smaller version of the brand’s famous Tread+ machine. While Tread+ costs $4,295, its smaller cousin will cost $2,495. It’s announced to come out in March 2021.

The price is objectively still high, but it allows you to get the Peloton’s famous HD touchscreen and sound system for half the cost of the Tread+. You won’t get the $39/month subscription for unlimited classes, though, unless you buy it separately.

If you’re unsure if Peloton machines are the right choice for you, you can visit one of the brand’s stores and try them out before making a final decision.

As for their bikes, there are already two versions available—Bike and Bike+, with many different classes available for all the users.

Going to the gym is probably falling off your list, but here’s a way to fix that—start planning to build a gym at home. The equipment you choose will be a longterm investment in your health and you can’t miss out on these must-have pieces in the beginning.

TRX Cables

Using TRX cables to carry out training builds flexibility, balance, strength, and coordination. 

Punching Bag

This form of workout is one of the best for the stress you may be feeling right now. 

Jump Rope

This way of exercising my seam easy and simple, but in reality, it’s not. Jumping rope will challenge your agility, heart rate, condition, and coordination.

Treadmill

Taking a walk is an easy way to improve your condition and health, and putting in a little bit more effort will give great results. Having a treadmill as a piece of your home gym equipment is the real deal and adding a stationary bike next to it is even better.

Treadmill Workouts For Fat Loss

In the first minute do a light jog to warm up your legs then increase the speed to your running pace for 1 minute, then run faster for a minute, then sprint for another minute. Walk for a minute. Increase the incline by 3% and do the same run, fast run, sprint. You can keep increasing the incline and doing the same 1-1-1 for another 3 rounds. Make sure you do a light jog to cool down/recover at the end.

15-Minute Treadmill HIIT workout

Do a 2-minute warm-up jog and then for the next 5 minutes increase the incline depending on your fitness. Decrease the speed for a recovery jog and then for a 2 minutes run fast. Decrease the speed again for a recovery jog and for the last 4 minutes do 30-second sprints followed by 30-second recoveries.

Treadmill Workout For Improving Speed

Estimate your fastest 1-minutes sprint that you are able to do on a treadmill. Start your workout 4km/h below that speed. Do a 2-3 minute jog and then for the first 1.5 minutes run at the speed under your max increasing the incline by 1% every 30 seconds. Recover on 0% incline for 1.5 minutes. Continue this sequence for 9 minutes, increasing your incline 1%. For the last 7 minutes do 30 seconds on a 7% incline and then drop the incline and add 1km/hr, recover and then add 2km/hr until you reach your maximum speed. Make sure to cool down at the end.

#TealsTipTuesday – Treadmill Edition ••• I’m pretty sure that I’ve logged more treadmill miles in the first 8 weeks of my @bostonmarathon training cycle than my entire running life combined. Spending this much time on the 'mill has definitely been an adjustment but luckily I’ve picked up a few hacks that have really helped. ••• 1⃣ For runs without certain target paces, I am always increasing and decreasing the pace and incline by .1 or .2. This more closely matches running outside and also helps break things up. I play games in my head like when the time hits 22:22, I’ll increase .2 for both pace and incline etc. 2⃣ Embrace the suck. I’ve started thinking of the treadmill as a way to improve my mental toughness and just acknowledge that it’s going to be harder than running outside. I know that thinking back to all of the times I grinded out 10+ miles on the treadmill will help carry me through when Boston gets tough. 3⃣ Save something for treadmill time. I always watch Netflix on my iPad during longer runs and having #Cheer to watch has actually made me look forward to my indoor runs. I also save podcast episodes that I’m excited about to listen to during the short stuff. 4⃣ The biggest change I’ve made to make treadmill running more manageable is to focus on my effort and not the actual pace. I have always found that any pace on the treadmill feels 10x harder than it does outside. Which means that I reallyyyy struggle during long marathon or threshold paced efforts and actually can’t make it through without falling off which completely destroys my confidence. I’ve run long enough to know what those paces feel like outside so that’s what I do. I throw my towel over the screen and increase the pace until it matches what I know I’d be feeling like outside. This has helped me 1 million percent. ••• Do you have any other treadmill hacks? I still have a lot of miles ahead of me!

]]> Treadmills are one of the most popular gym machines on the market, and many people see them as an essential part of their cardio workouts. If you happen to be one of them, you’ve probably considered investing in your own home treadmill, but here are a few things to consider before making that purchase.

Taking Up Space

Owning a treadmill can be a great motivational boost, but this machine is pretty big and it doesn’t perfectly fit into every home. Before finalizing your purchase, make sure you can clear up enough space for your treadmill, especially if you live in a small apartment.

That post #Saturday60 sweaty smile, tho. . . This is my favorite workout of the week- nothing makes me feels stronger, both inside and out, then doing a Saturday 60 bootcamp with @jsimsfit . I let go of everything that was on my shoulders all week long, push past my limits time and time again through the sprints and the reps and I am left absolutely drenched but so incredible ready to enjoy the weekend. . . I want all of you to take one with me so you can experience this kind of sweat magic. Maybe next week? . . Until then, add this song to your running (or life) playlist- “I am Here” by PiNK. She played it in class today and I was okaaaay, this song is everything. Let me@know what you think! . . Do you have a workout you look forward to every week? What is it and why is it your favorite?

Outdoor Running

Having your own treadmill is a great way to save some money on a gym membership, but outdoor running comes even cheaper. Make sure to try it first, because it’s much more beneficial than running on a treadmill, and it won’t cost you a thing.

Better Alternatives

In addition to taking up too much space and being pretty expensive, the treadmill isn’t even the best workout machine on the market. Elliptical and StepMill can give you a much better workout, but you can also find countless equipment-free workouts online.
