Whether you’re looking for a basic folding treadmill that’ll allow you to get some extra steps in or a more advanced model that’s sturdy enough for marathon training, you’ll find an impressive assortment of high-quality machines at a discount right now. Below, find 14 treadmill deals worth checking out this weekend.
According to the brand, this treadmill is built with high-intensity running workouts in mind, but reviewers say it’s also great for low impact walks. The machine offers a 0.5 to 12 mph speed range and 15 levels on incline, allowing for a very customized workout. It’s also fitness app-compatible, meaning you can stream workouts from Peloton, Nike Running, Zwift and more. Oh, and did we mention it’s currently on sale for a whopping $1,000 off?
This XTerra Fitness model would typically set you back $1,200, but right now you can nab it for only $740. With a large 20 x 60-inch belt and the brand’s patented deck cushioning, the TRX3500 is great for walking at an incline, running sprints and everything in between. Like the treadmill above, it features Bluetooth connectivity so that you can connect to third party running apps, too.
Looking to increase your daily step count? Opt for this Goplus design, which can be placed under a standing desk so that you can walk while you work. The compact machine is also lightweight and easy to store, making it a great option for apartment living. Keep in mind that its speed only goes up to 8 mph, so this treadmill isn’t the best choice if you enjoy sprinting workouts.
A sturdy, well-made folding treadmill will typically cost you upwards of $400, but right now you can get this one for $363. Though Weslo isn’t a well-known brand like some of the others on this list, its Cadence G 5.99i treadmill won’t disappoint if you’re looking for a budget-friendly option. It allows you to run at speeds of up to 10 mph and manually adjust the incline to two different positions. But watch out if you choose this model: Some buyers say it appears that you have to buy an iFit membership to use the machine at first, but you can bypass that step by holding the Bluetooth button down for 30 seconds.
If you’re on the hunt for a treadmill that’s built to last, look no further. This one from Sole Fitness comes with a lifetime warranty on the frame, motor and deck, so you don’t have to worry about it giving out after a few years of use. According to users, you can definitely tell it’s well made. “This is even nicer than most of the treadmills I have used in gyms and hotels,” raves one man. And thanks to Sole Fitness’ current sale, you can get it for $1,200 off.
This ProForm model comes equipped with a 10-inch HD touchscreen that allows you to stream guided workouts and view your performance stats, a powerful-yet-quiet motor and the brand’s ReBound Pro cushioning for less impact on your ankles, knees and hips. You can vary the speed between 0 and 12 mph and the incline between -3 and 12% for a totally customized training experience. When you order this treadmill from Best Buy (which we suggest doing while it’s $200 off), you’ll also get a 30-day free trial of iFit, a membership that allows you to stream thousands of live and on-demand workouts.
Horizon Fitness’ 7.8 AT Treadmill features the brand’s most powerful deck and motor combination, making it ideal for those looking for a top-of-the-line machine. It’s normally priced at $2,699, but you can get it for $1,999 during Horizon Fitness’ current promotion. This piece of equipment also boasts the largest belt on this list, clocking in at 22 x 60 inches.
Bowflex’s Treadmill 22 is definitely one of the most advanced models on this list: It comes equipped with a touchscreen that allows you to stream personalized workout instructions, as well as TV shows and movies from your favorite platforms like Netflix and Hulu. The only catch? You need a JRNY membership, but a one-year membership is included when you purchase the treadmill. It also offers more incline variability than most others, allowing you to adjust it anywhere between -5% and 20%.
Similar to the brand’s Treadmill 22 above, the Bowflex Treadmill 7 has a touchscreen that allows you to watch workouts and stream media with the included one-year JRNY membership. That said, it has a few less bells and whistles (which is why it’s priced at $1,204 instead of $2,699). Nevertheless, users say this is a gym-quality machine that you won’t get tired of using.
As many of the options on this list demonstrate, it’s easy to spend upwards of $1,000 on a treadmill. But if you’re looking for a basic piece of equipment to get you through the occasional winter power walk or jog, that’s definitely not necessary. This Sunny Health & Fitness design allows you to vary your speed between zero and 10 mph and offers 15 different incline levels, which is really all you need to get in a good workout. And right now, it’s on sale for under $600.
This folding treadmill from Nautilus allows you to have a gym-quality piece of equipment at home without sacrificing space. The 20 x 60-inch deck raises and lowers easily and safely, even if you’re folding it up and down on a daily basis. It also features Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to transfer your workout data to your smart devices with ease. And at $800 off its original price, you’d be hard pressed to find a better deal on this machine.
NordicTrack is known for making top-of-the-line treadmills that will typically set you back $1,000 or more, so we were impressed to see this model on sale for just $597. This particular design is no longer sold on the brand’s website, which could explain the 40% price cut, but users say it’s still worth investing in. “This is a really solid, smooth treadmill with easy-to-use controls,” writes one shopper. “ It's the perfect size for home use. [It] doesn't take up much room, and easily folds up out of the way if necessary. Well made, and sturdy,” adds another. Just keep in mind that this treadmill comes with a 30-day free iFit membership, which will auto-renew if you don’t cancel it.
If you’re looking for a folding treadmill that’s a bit more compact, check out this Schwinn Fitness model, which features a 20 x 55-inch deck. The running space is still large enough to sprint on (if that’s your kind of workout), but the deck won’t take up as much floor space as some of the other options on this list. Another nice feature is the media shelf, which allows you to rest your phone or tablet above the LCD screen so that you can watch TV or listen to music while you exercise. The 810 Treadmill typically costs $1,299, but right now you can claim it for only $799.
If you like to do incline workouts, it could be worth getting this commercial-grade option from NordicTrack. The X32i is one of the brand’s most advanced treadmills, featuring 40% live incline and -6% live decline control and a 0 to 12 mph speed range. It’s also equipped with a 32-inch-wide HD screen where you can stream live workouts if you subscribe to iFit. At just 5% off, this treadmill isn’t heavily discounted, but the deal is still worth taking advantage of considering this is a high-end model.
