Looking for a treadmill for sale? Buying a treadmill can be an exciting process.

You have a lot of great options out there and with new models getting better every year, there’s never been a better time to buy.

In fact you can now find treadmills with superior cushioning to protect your joints, personal trainer workout programs where the voice of a personal trainer coaches you through your workout, iPod docks where you can listen to your favorite tunes and even internet connections built-in to your treadmill.

So you can get a great machine – and if you shop online you have a much larger selection to choose from than at your local store. Plus, online stores often offer online-only sales and free shipping to save you even more money.

Having run a treadmill review website for over 6 years now, I’ve seen the price cycles – when manufacturers run their good sales – and even their best sales. While every online seller or treadmill manufacturer is different, here are a few tips that can help you sniff out the best treadmill for sale deals:

#1 Take Advantage of Certain Time-of-the-Year Sales

There are a few times of the year when several online sellers drop their prices to the lowest levels all year. These tend to be around Christmas and especially New Years – January. Keep in mind that most brands bring out their new models around the end of the year. So there’s usually a rush to sell off last years models at the end of the year and even the beginning of the year to make room for the new models.

Sellers also want to take advantage of the New Years resolution rush to get fit. So they often drop prices in January and February to attract shoppers who want to start a fitness program, lose weight, get healthier, etc.

#2 Take Advantage of Day-of-The-Week Sales

There are a few manufacturers (not all) that also tend to drop their prices on certain days of the week – mainly the weekend. You can often find sales and lower prices on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. So you may want to wait until the weekends and see if your online store drops prices.

#3 Take Advantage of Mailing Lists

There are a few sellers (again, not all) that offer discounts through their mailing lists. Or if they’re having a 1 day or short term sale, they will email you and let you know about it. So it might be worth signing up for their email lists until you’ve found the treadmill you want.

#4 Be On Top of Things To Get The Best Deals

When you are shopping for a treadmill for sale, it pays to be on top of prices (or visit a website that stays on top of prices and sales). This is because there are many other shoppers that are also looking for a great deal and usually the best sales sell out fast.

I know of one manufacturer that dropped a $999 treadmill down to $599 for the weekend – but sold out so fast, they were out of stock within a day. So try to stay on top of things to get the best deals.

So those are 4 tips on when to buy and how to buy that can help you find the best treadmill for sale deals. Remember that while a sale is great, be sure you’re buying a high quality treadmill with a solid warranty and high construction quality – especially if you plan on running.
