Best folding treadmills for home workouts in small spaces

Source: Mobvoi

Exercising outside can often feel like a chore when the weather is wet and windy.

A folding treadmill is the ideal option for a workout that doesn’t involve wet feet and soggy trainers. If you have limited space indoors, a folding treadmill will suit you because it can be stored away when not in use. There are a whole range of treadmills available from top-of-the-line investment buys, to compact machines that are affordably priced.

Most folding treadmills are smaller than the machines you see in gym settings, so expect to walk or run on a smaller belt. However, the features and settings that most folding machines have are equal to many larger fixed treadmills.

Many of the treadmills featured in our list are paired with purpose-built apps, or offer Bluetooth functionality so you connect your phone and listen to music, or watch your favourite show whilst exercising. Some even allow you to walk or run through cities and trails, or connect to studio classes so you can exercise as part of a community.

Experienced runners might prefer a high-tech machine that offers manual programming and various incline levels, whilst those who are looking to gently walk might choose a more compact machine that fits underneath the couch. Whichever treadmill you choose we have an option that will suit your needs and abilities.
