There's no getting around the fact that treadmills are expensive. Even with the best Black Friday deals going you're looking at a significant outlet, even at the lowest end of the budget. That's why it's important to know exactly what to look for when it comes to buying one.

As TechRadar's Senior Fitness and Wearables writer, I literally run on treadmills for a living, so I can tell you exactly what to look for, and what to avoid when it comes to buying a cheap treadmill in the Black Friday sales.

There's a lot of good variety out there when it comes to treadmills, but there's also a lot of cheap rubbish and deals that look like deals but aren't really deals. So with that in mind, here are the best Black Friday treadmill deals for you, picked by me, a fitness expert.

If you're in the market for a Black Friday treadmill there are a few key features to consider. Treadmills are expensive, so your biggest consideration is probably price. Ideally, you don't want to be spending less than $400/£300 for a decent running treadmill. At the opposite end of the budget the sky is the limit, so make sure you know exactly what you're getting before splashing the cash.

Other important features include whether your treadmill is foldable, user weight limit, top speed, incline, and extra features like a touchscreen and onboard workout programs.

Treadmills are big-ticket items, so Black Friday is often the best time to try and grab one.
