Get to stepping: The best treadmills for home use in 2025

The NordicTrack T Series Home Treadmill is more than just a piece of exercise equipment; it's your gateway to a transformative fitness journey, right from the comfort of your home. This model can support users up to 136kg, so it's robust and stable for a wide range of body types.

With dynamic incline adjustments, the T Series offers the potential for an intensified workout that mimics natural terrain, pushing your limits and maximising calorie burn. This NordicTrack is also Bluetooth enabled, allowing you to sync up your devices for a seamless, entertaining run. You can blast your motivational playlist or follow along with professional trainers thanks to the interactive personal training powered by iFIT. With a 30-day iFIT membership included, you gain instant access to live, studio, and global workouts, making each run a new adventure.

We can't forget the foldable design, which is perfect for tight spaces in the home. Simply lift the deck and store it away to free up room. This portability, along with its durable build and innovative training options, makes the NordicTrack T Series Home Treadmill a stellar choice for anyone serious about their home fitness.

If you're just starting out or need something that costs considerably less than £500, this treadmill from Nero Sports is hard to resist. It's taken the prize for our best budget treadmill for a number of reasons, not just the incredibly affordable price. Firstly, this is motorised and compact. So, if you're looking for something that you can put in the comfort of your own home and get the job done, this treadmill is for you.

The build, whilst not matching more expensive models, is clean, simple and reliable. As you'd expect for a space-saving budget option, it has a relatively conservative 105 x 35 cm running surface – if you have a longer stride, you may need to check the dimensions. There are also a fairly basic three levels of incline, so if you're a seasoned runner, you probably want to look at other models on our list. But for anyone who needs a 12-program motorised treadmill with a computer that measures speed, time, distance and calories, this is the one to go for.

But the features don't stop there – not only does this Nero Sports treadmill come 99% pre-assembled, but it also has Bluetooth connectivity to Kinomap and Zwift. So, put your tablet on the convenient stand and get ready for some seriously fun fitness routines.

We've previously reviewed the TR4500 from Xterra, and while the Xterra Fitness TR150 Treadmill is cheaper with fewer features it still offers the quality for which the brand is known.

There are pulse grip sensors for heart rate measurement, as well as soft deck cushioning to help avoid stress on joints – a frequent complaint for runners, or the thing that might stop you from taking up the habit! Feedback is provided through a 5" LCD console which keeps you in the know when it comes to time, distance and calories, among other health and fitness measurements.

Like others on our list, this treadmill can be folded away once you're done using it. However, that may not happen immediately as it has 13 programmes to help you with your fitness goals (plus a holder for your tablet should you find that distraction is the best route to keep you on track).

The JTX Sprint-5 Smart Home Treadmill is designed with regular runners in mind, whether you're a beginner or training for a half marathon. This is great value for money, with a power incline and 18kph top speed. There are 43 pre-set programmes, so you can keep your fitness constantly improving with different options, or, if you already know what you want, you can save up to three custom programmes to keep yourself on track.

In addition, Zwift & Kinomap connections are possible via Bluetooth. But the features of this treadmill don't stop there, as it can fold away with a hydraulic assist lift and Soft Drop system. There's also Cushionstep suspension – meaning an eight-point rubber shock absorption reducing impact by up to 30 per cent – and a silent motor will keep noise to a minimum. If you're reading this but already know that impact-heavy exercise isn't for you, we recommend one of the best exercise bikes instead. But if you're up for a sprint with some entertainment, you can play music on a newly integrated speaker system, and there's an app tailor-made for the treadmill.

NordicTrack is a prominent name in fitness technology, and for good reason. This Commercial 1250 Treadmill may cost more than some of the other options on this list but for that initial outlay you get an impressive piece of fitness kit that is built to last. And, if for some reason it doesn't, it comes with a lifetime frame warranty, a 10-year motor warranty and 2-year parts and labour warranty (upon registration).

We liked the 'AutoBreeze' technology which ensures that the in-built fan kicks up a gear to match the intensity of your workout. This features alongside two speakers, a USB-C charging port and Bluetooth headphone and heart rate monitor connectivity, all of which combine to create a treadmill which wouldn't look out of place in a gym. However, it's foldable, meaning you can roll it away when it's time to relax.

Like your favourite professional piece of gym equipment, NordicTrack have included a 10" touchscreen with which to join an iFIT session or watch your favourite Netflix series.

The Mobvoi Home Treadmill SE can function as both treadmill and walking pad. A great option for a full fitness session as well as more casual exercise throughout the day or while you work.

With a speed of 12km/h it's not the fastest featured here, but for the price and its ability to integrate seamlessly into a home environment it's a great option.

Users have commented on the ease of set-up and while the presence of a remote control may be less essential and more novelty, it could come in handy depending on your personal exercise routine.

No set-up, no hassle, no stress. No need to even worry about installation issues. The portable treadmill comes fully assembled and can be used immediately after unboxing. Transport wheels mean that it's so convenient to move and store, which will only do wonders for freeing up some floor space.

Shining bright is a multi-layer shock-absorptive running belt, which actually absorbs the force of your steps and works to protect your joints/ligaments from injury.

The Dskeuzeew Ultra Slim Walking Running Machine is ideal for home use and storage. The value for money here is fantastic too, just take it easy the first few runs, as there is nothing to hold on to.

When it comes to value, what we don't mean is 'cheap'. Cheap treadmills can be found for £100 or less. However, with machines like these, you need something that's safe, well-built and reliable that gives you the biggest bang for your buck. Enter the JLL S300. To start with, the UK brand gives you a five-year warranty on the ample 2.5 CHP motor, plus a two-year parts and labour warranty and a confidence-boosting lifetime warranty on the frame.

On the features front, you get a well-cushioned 122 x 41 cm running belt, which can range between 0.3 and 16km/h (10mph). A selection of 15 programmes gives you fairly good flexibility for workouts, helped by the fact three of them are customisable.

On the deck, you will find a surprising array of goodies. No big screen, but there is a holder for your devices and a USB and aux connection. Why? Because the JLL S300 has built-in speakers, of course. The frame is alloy steel, and the maximum user weight is 120 kg.

Affordable walking pads are an easy way to add movement to your day regardless of the weather. The Sperax Walking Pad does just that and comes in a size and weight which means that it's easy to move out of the way once you've finished your stroll.

Remember, if you want a true workout you'll need to invest in a fully-fledged treadmill, but for a gentle walk in the comfort of your own home this will do the trick.

Despite looking like a commercial treadmill and being built just as solidly, this is the best of the home-use machines we have here. Why? Because it's extremely well designed with top high-tech features such as automatically turning on when stepped on. Not to mention the true integration of the machine with tablets. Then there's access to Zwift and ROUVY routes for maximum immersion while you're running. A real bonus here, especially for those dodging the bad weather, is that it can use your personal route data from devices like a Garmin to reproduce that route for you.

Spec-wise, this has a 3.0 HP motor capable of 12.4 mph– so plenty of room there to challenge hardcore runners. The deck is a generous 19.7 x 56.3 inches too, so it's in that sweet spot between being usable for most stride lengths and fitting into your room without hogging too much space. The Technogym App is also present for access to interactive training routines. Best of all, consider this a professional gym treadmill but slightly scaled down to fit a home gym perfectly – and all without compromising on build or features.

Users rave about the Domyos Smart Folding Treadmill which offers speeds of up to 16km/h and a 10% incline.

We liked the stylish LED touchscreen which incorporates 30 customisable programmes. It's also compatible with the Domyos E-Connected, Kinomap and Zwift apps.

The running deck is 45cm wide and 130cm long, promising a decent space to take in your strides whilst retaining the sort of surface area which is needed for a domestic setting.
