How to Read Fitness Equipment Specs Like a Pro

 


Feeling confused by fitness equipment specs like "CHP motor", "stride length", or "shock absorption system"? You’re not alone. Whether you're eyeing a treadmill, exercise bike, or multi-gym, understanding these specifications will help you make smarter investments for your home gym—saving time, money, and effort.

In this guide, we break down the most essential features:

1. Motor Power (CHP vs Peak HP)

  • CHP = Continuous Horsepower (best for long sessions)

  • Peak HP = Only momentary power
    For runners: choose 2.5-3.0 CHP models like the PowerMax TDA‑125 Motorised Treadmill

2. Max User Weight

Always go 20 kg higher than your weight for smoother, safer performance.

3. Belt or Stride Length

  • Treadmills: 16–18” width, 48–55” length

  • Ellipticals: 18–20” stride is optimal for comfort

4. Incline / Resistance

  • Treadmill incline: Up to 12–15% helps mimic uphill running.

  • Exercise bikes: Look for multiple resistance levels to scale workouts.

5. Shock Absorption

Cushioning systems like EVA or spring back reduce joint stress vital for daily users.

6. Display & Tracking

  • Prioritize basics: speed, time, heart rate, calories

  • Bonus: Bluetooth & app support for tracking

7. Build Quality

Steel frames last longer than plastic. If you live in a compact space, consider foldable models but never sacrifice stability.

8. Safety

  • Treadmills: Emergency stop key

  • Bikes/Ellipticals: Adjustable pedals/handles

Example: The PowerMax BU-201 Air Bike has a backrest, ergonomic grips, and full-body movement for comfort and versatility.

Final Takeaway

Specifications aren’t just jargon they’re your guide to efficiency, safety, and satisfaction in your workouts. From motor capacity to safety locks, every detail counts.
