Choosing the Right Normill Treadmill for Your Sports Lab or Gym

Four things usually decide the model, and three of them are about the room rather than the runner. Power supply comes first. The XC-3000 range runs on 230V single phase, 16A. The XC-3300 needs 400V three phase, 16A. If the room has no three-phase supply, the XC-3300 is out until an electrician has been in. Footprint comes second. The XC-3000 is 2370 × 3250 mm overall (3450 mm on the Pro). The XC-3300 is 3785 × 3940 mm and weighs 1250 kg — worth checking the floor loading before ordering. Then belt size: 2200 × 2700 mm on the XC-3000, 2500 × 3300 mm on the XC-3300. Longer belts matter for sprint work and for ski treadmill use, where poles need room behind the runner. Speed and incline come last, because they are the easiest to read off a table: 25, 30 and 35 km/h across the XC-3000 range, 50 km/h on the XC-3300; 15%, 15%, 20% and 25% incline respectively.
