Treadmill Reviews covers real product reviews tested and reviewed by real people. While treadmills are our biggest category, we also review ellipticals, exercise bikes, rowers, and other types of fitness equipment. Our aim is to inform you of all the latest and greatest products in the home fitness industry, so you can choose the right fitness equipment for your training regimen. Our reviews look at all the ins and outs of products we have tested in person to give you a realistic look into what each product has to offer. Our written and video reviews are designed to answer all of your questions.
Kaleigh Ray, Product Reviewer, Biomechanist, Exercise Physiologist
Kaleigh has a master’s in Biomechanics from the University of Northern Colorado where she focused her research on running and running shoes. She holds a certification as an exercise physiologist with the American College of Sports Medicine. She completed her bachelor’s in Exercise Science at Mississippi College where she also competed in Division 2 Cross Country and Track. She has been a competitive runner for over a decade and continues to train for marathons and trail races. She has been a running coach and personal trainer on and off for several years and continues a passion for all things fitness.
When Kaleigh is not in the office, she is still running or writing. Working here at Treadmill Reviews has helped her pursue her goals of becoming an author and qualifying for her first Boston Marathon. She spends the rest of her time reading, (literally) herding cats, geocaching with her husband, and trying to create the ultimate music playlist for her next long run.
