Tape measure: Use a tape or string to measure the length of the treadmill tread. Measuring with GPS: Use a GPS device, such as a smartphone or sport tester, that you can use to measure the length of the route you have covered during your transition on the treadmill. Measuring by measuring: Use a tape measure or other measuring device and measure the length of the treadmill tread. All of these approaches will give you approximate values for your treadmill tread length, but if you want more accurate results, it's best to use a device like a laser meter or a high-precision digital meter. We will get your treadmill in good co...
