Best Folding Treadmill For Small Space

Foldable treadmills might be smaller than traditional treadmills but that shouldn't limit you. They still provide a great cardio workout and can be a great alternative to running outdoors or jogging indoors when you're not able to run outside.

This model from NordicTrack is a premium treadmill that comes with a variety of features such as interactive iFit training and metrics tracking. It's also easy to set up and comes with 95% assembled.

1. Xterra Treadmill

Xterra offers a wide range of treadmills with low prices. Compact series treadmills have folding frames to save space, while Performance series treadmills feature huge motors that are able to handle high-volume use. The TRX1000 is a standard starter treadmill that comes with 12 workout programs and a top speed of 10 mph. It also features a foldable treadmill with incline frame that can be stored when not in use.

A basic LCD display will display various exercise statistics. This includes your speed, time, distance as well as your heart rate and calorie burn. It also has buttons that allow you to change your workout intensity. You can access these buttons during your workout or by shutting down the machine and manually adjust it. There are three incline levels that must be manually adjusted, as well.

One thing we love about this model is its sturdy feel. We didn't feel any vibration while jogging on it. We also enjoyed the large rollers, which let the belt glide smoothly. This is important for those who are doing high-intensity exercises such as interval training.

This treadmill has a 3.25 CHP motor, as well as an extensive running deck that can handle more weighty users. It also has a non-rattling device rack and two adjustable stabilizers to provide stability. It doesn't have as many entertainment features as the treadmills we've reviewed however, it does come with quick-touch buttons to switch between higher and low speeds/inclines.

There's a lifetime frame warranty for this treadmill, as well as 90 days of parts, labor, and deck protection. The warranty isn't the length we'd expect on a treadmill of this price, but it's an excellent deal if you only plan to use it for moderate or light exercise. The treadmill is made by Dyaco International under the Spirit brand. The company is a well-known brand in the fitness industry, and also produces various other brands, including Sole Fitness. Their treadmills are very competitively priced, and can be found at sporting goods stores and Costco.

2. Nordictrack Commercial 2450

This treadmill is a beast with a high weight capacity. It also comes with a variety of features. Its price is affordable for a high-quality treadmill that comes with one month of IFit membership (a value of $39).

The Commercial 2450 is NordicTrack's expensive treadmill, and it has distinctive features that aren't available on cheaper models. The huge 22-inch screen is a great opportunity to experience iFIT's top features while exercising. The soft cushioning helps you forget you are on a machine.

One notable improvement from prior Commercial models is a new noise-reducing design that is significantly quieter when the treadmill is being used. This is a significant improvement as it allows you to exercise without disturbing your householdmates or neighbors. Its quietness ensures that the machine remains stable even when it is running at a high pace or on an incline.

AutoAdjust is another significant improvement. It automatically adjusts the treadmill's speed and incline when you do iFit workouts. It is done automatically by the machine according to your fitness level, type of workout, and the current level of effort. You can alter this at any time by a a quick touch of the screen.

If you're not an iFit member, or prefer to run manually the Commercial 2450 also has a Manual Mode that gives you the full control over the treadmill's speed as well as incline, decline and resistance settings. This is a great option for runners who prefer to focus on their form and pace without having iFit trainers coach them.

Like other Nordictrack treadmills, the Commercial 2450 is relatively easy to assemble and then fold when not in use. EasyLift helps make the process more secure and less complicated than other treadmills, which require a lot more force to lift. However, it is a heavy treadmill that requires at least two persons for moving and assembly. This is why it is ideal for dedicated home gyms. Its capacity and weight will make it less than ideal for storage in the gym.

3. Horizon 7.0 AT Treadmill

The Horizon 7.0 AT treadmill is a great choice for anyone looking to add more running-related workouts to their gym at home. The Horizon 7.0 AT treadmill comes with a large, durable deck, with a powerful motor and a workout routine that incorporates interval training. The three-zone system of cushioning is a nice feature especially for those who are just beginning to run. It allows them to go further without fearing that they will damage their knees and joints. The 7.0 AT includes eight pre-programmed workouts that will challenge you no matter what your fitness level is. This machine is also an excellent value for less than $1,000.

This treadmill is the first machine in Horizon's Studio Series, a line of machines designed to be used for streaming classes. It might not have a huge TV-like display or a proprietary streaming app however, it has plenty to offer all levels of runners. It's built for endurance and features a 3.0 CHP motor that is strong enough to endure long and strenuous runs. Additionally, it comes with a lifetime guarantee on its frame and motor, which is rare for treadmills.

In terms of function in terms of performance, the 7.0 AT does have Bluetooth connectivity to sync with popular training apps. It allows you to stream Peloton and Nike Run Club to enjoy exercises led by trainers. It's also not tied to any subscription service which is great considering the price.

The treadmill's folding capability is a big plus. It is a great option when you are working with a small space in your home. The deck folds easily into an extremely compact unit, and comes with an hydraulic assist that lowers the deck by pressing it against the handle made of metal that sits beneath the console. The resulting footprint is only 48 inches long, reducing its size by 36%. It's a great feature for those who need to reduce space, especially in smaller and smaller homes.

The tablet shelf is slightly larger than most treadmills, so you can watch your favorite films and shows. The console's USB port is ideal to store your devices and charging them. If you prefer not to use the tablet holder you can also queue up an episode of a sitcom or a movie using the treadmill's built-in speakers.

It comes with a mobile app to track your progress and a remote control that lets you operate the machine from anywhere.

Although it's not made for intense running however, it does a great job of reducing the impact on your knees.

The controls are simple to use, using just a a main power switch and an additional remote that allows you to alter the speed. The only issue is that there aren't preset programs, but this may not be a problem if do not plan on doing a lot of running.

The Goplus Ultra-Thin is a bit heavier than the other treadmills that fold we've tested, but its compact design makes it easy to move and store in tight spaces. It can hold up to 265 pounds and has a an extremely small footprint, which makes it perfect for those who live in an apartment or a house with little storage space.

This is a great option for those who wish to avoid disturbing their neighbors and live in an apartment. It's easy to clean, too, because it doesn't generate as much dust as the other treadmills we tested. The only downside is that it does not have a USB port, which can be inconvenient for those who like to listen to music or podcasts while exercising.
