These treadmills have a good performance when used by people of average weight, which decreases when used by a person weighing more than 275 pounds. If you have more than 275 pounds, you should be more careful when choosing the treadmill to buy.

The first thing to observe is the weight limit recommended by the manufacturer, usually a heavy-duty home treadmill has a weight limit from 300 to 500 pounds.

Most likely thinking that determine this limit to avoid taking responsibility for the warranty.
