Treadmill Maximium User Weight

Treadmills have maximum user weights.  The maximum user weight is usually determined by the motor size, belt thickness, and roller quality.  Most treadmills above $1,000 will accommodate a user up to 300 pounds.  Some treadmills can accommodate users up to 400 pounds.

Most treadmills can operate with users above the weight limits if they are used for walking, or fast paced walking, workouts. Keep in mind that exceeding the weight limit may void the warranty and can reduce the safety features of the treadmill.
