Owning a treadmill is like having a home gym. Purchasing a treadmill from an online retailer allows you to compare prices and features of more models than are usually available in a store. Once the treadmill arrives, assembly can be daunting, especially if you have few do-it-yourself skills. Fortunately, many retailers offer treadmills that arrive at your front door fully assembled.

These treadmills are very similar, the main difference is the Evolve has a 1.25 HP motor and the EvolveSG has a 1.5 HP motor. Both models fold to 10 inches high for easy storage and feature a 17 x 45 inch belt, speeds of 1 to 6 mph, programmed routines -- along with time, distance and calories burned displays.
