Product Information

It’s the most expensive option on our list, but worth it because of its large and crisp display, interactive iFit training on and off the machine, metric tracking, and more. Throughout testing, we really enjoyed running and walking through scenic routines played out on the crisp display. And if you want a guided workout, you can follow along to the treadmill's pre-programmed workouts or connect to other popular fitness apps like Zwift and Kinomap. This treadmill helped to motivate us to run and maintain endurance levels during cold winter months.

So if you don’t want to purchase the iFit membership, you might want to consider opting for a more basic option like XTERRA Fitness’ TR Folding Treadmill, our best budget pick. If you don’t want to purchase an iFit membership, you can walk or run at your own pace and manually adjust speed and incline via numbered buttons on the treadmill’s front display. It’s important to note that this machine does not have incline capabilities, and that speed does not auto-adjust based on instructor cues—like with ProForm’s Pro 9000 Treadmil l and other options on our list.The speed and incline change quickly, and the motion is smooth and quiet, so there's no disruption to your runs. AT Studio Treadmill (our Most User-Friendly pick), which features many of the same features—a fan, integrated speakers, a USB port for device charging, and more. The best home gym equipment provides a convenient, cost-efficient way to help you achieve your fitness goals.

But if you’re a runner with the space (and budget), you might opt for this pick because it has ample features: lots of storage, greater incline range, a powerful fan, a larger running deck, a USB port for device charging, integrated speakers, and more. Even if you set a high target speed, bear in mind that it takes a while for the motor to accelerate.

ProForm’s Carbon T7 Treadmill comes with a free three-year iFIT subscription that gives you access to instructor-led workouts that take place in-studio or at various scenic locations around the world. Just like Nordictrack’s Commercial 2450, ProForm’s Pro 9000 Treadmill auto-adjusts your speed and incline during instructor-led classes. For new users, there’s a great risk of injury if you increase your speed too soon or maintain too high a forward speed. The speed and incline adjustment knobs are accessible mid-run, and there are even pre-set levels to easily tailor your workouts. The treadmill also has loudspeakers and a powerful fan, but it's worth noting that there is no way to adjust the angle of the fan.

Included with the treadmill is a 30-Day iFIT trial membership, offering hundreds of instructor-led running, hiking, walking, and strength workouts that auto-adjust your speed and incline levels based on instructor cues. You can also log into apps like Facebook and Twitter, as well as screen mirror anything straight from iOS and Android devices to the console screen. Smaller folding treadmills often fold completely flat, while large ones have a belt that folds up at a 45-degree angle.

But when unfolded, a folding treadmill can be as big as a regular treadmill (like is the case with Horizon Fitness’ 7. And we also appreciate that the speed and incline buttons are easily accessible on the treadmill’s touchscreen and handrails. We walked, jogged, and ran on the treadmills for a minimum of four workouts per week—paying attention to how safe and sturdy they felt, as well as any other helpful or unique features. Most folding treadmills can reach speeds up to 10 miles per hour—and some can reach speeds up to 12 miles per hour. Unlike our best overall pick, Echelon’s Stride Auto-Fold Connected Treadmill, this machine doesn’t fold flat—so it’s not the best option for smaller spaces.
