Not every day is a beautiful day that's made for a run or walk. (Although Instagram makes it look this way). Sometimes, the weather is sh*tty and can deter us from moving our bodies. But rather than counting it as an off day, wouldn't it be nice to have an at-home treadmill as a backup? Believe it or not, there are tons of under $600 treadmills that are great for running and walking, and there are even foldable ones made for small apartments (gasp!). If you're just discovering that a treadmill can be an attainable purchase, you're not alone — it wasn't until a few months ago that I found this out for myself. There are even $100 treadmills.
If you're looking for a way to make moving your body convenient (no matter the weather), consider picking up a treadmill for your next workout. There are options for walkers, runners, and those who like a little incline — all for prices that are hard to beat. Check out our top picks ahead and make your next workout a fit for you.
A Bluetooth Treadmill: Two in One Folding Treadmill
Not only is the Two in One Folding Treadmill ($320, originally $560) compact enough for a small space, but it can be hooked up through Bluetooth to play music as you walk or run. It even has a powerful and quiet motor that won't disturb surrounding neighbours. One of our very own POPSUGAR editors tested it and said it was a "wintertime lifesaver."
For Incline Walking: Sunny Health & Fitness Folding Incline Treadmill
Move up to nine miles per hour on the Sunny Health & Fitness Folding Incline Treadmill ($308, originally $399). The treadmill has a digital monitor that tracks your progress and pulse and also allows you to walk or run on an incline.
An Inexpensive Treadmill: Sunny Health & Fitness Foldable Manual Walking Treadmill
The Sunny Health & Fitness Foldable Manual Walking Treadmill ($100, originally $199) is compact and lightweight — perfect for small spaces. Use its LCD monitor to track speed, distance, and calories. This treadmill is made for walking only.
A Well-Reviewed Treadmill: Rhythm Fun Portable Folding Treadmill
The Rhythm Fun Portable Folding Treadmill ($599) is on the pricier side, but it's well worth it. While this treadmill is thin, it can handle some weight. It's also small in size and quiet, and it works straight out of the box.
An Easy-to-Store Option: Goplus Ultra-Thin Electric Folding Treadmill
If space is a higher priority than speed, the Goplus Ultra-Thin Electric Folding Treadmill ($320), which reaches a maximum speed of five mph, is probably your best option. The design is lightweight and sleek enough for you to stow it under your bed or against the wall.
A Treadmill You Can Work On: Urevo Foldable Treadmill For Home
The Urevo Foldable Treadmill For Home ($360) arrives fully assembled to save you time and energy, and it has folding handlebars and wheels in the front that allow for easy mobility and storage. This treadmill allows a recommended maximum weight of 260 pounds and reaches a speed of 7.5 mph. Its flat surface can hold your laptop.
A Steel-Framed Treadmill: Redliro Folding Treadmill
The Redliro Folding Treadmill ($310, originally $360) is easy to assemble and fold, and its steel frame makes it one of the most stable folding treadmills. If you prefer to track your walking or running distance in kilometers, this treadmill is perfect — it displays measurements exclusively in the metric system.
For Runners: XTERRA Fitness TR150 Folding Treadmill
For heavy-footed runners, the XTERRA Fitness TR150 Folding Treadmill ($349) is one of the most durable options. The machine features a large running surface that accommodates users of all sizes, along with an LCD display, 12 preset programs, and an easy pull knob for convenient storage.
