Get to stepping: The best treadmills for home use in 2024

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 137 kg, 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, so if you're on the larger side with a longer stride, you may need to check the dimensions. There are 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.

Your search for a great folding treadmill is over. The FLYLINKTECH 2-in-1 Folding Treadmill is a class above the rest, with full LCD display, wide running belt, transport wheels, and high-end Bluetooth capability.

This beauty uses a super sturdy stainless-steel frame, a silent force motor and a 100cm multi-layer running belt that absorbs shock, helping to reduce knee damage on those long runs.

With the FS Sports app, you can control the treadmill through Bluetooth. App control not only monitors your exercise data, but also keep your workouts fresh. Make use of a diverse range of programmes and difficulty levels to ensure you're never bored.

There are 12 exercise modes in total, including running mode for speeds between 4km/h and 14km/h, and walking mode, for speeds between 1km/h-4km/h. The foldable design means it can also be used as an under-desk treadmill, should you want to boost your step count while you're working.

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.

The Xterra TR4500 is a highly tempting choice of folding home treadmill. A 160kg user capacity is practically unheard of at this price, and it means it's about as sturdy as you can get as well. The reliable 3.25HP motor produces the kind of performance you'd expect from an elite commercial unit too. Yes, there're some subjective design choices that won’t be everyone's cup of tea, but the TR4500 brings more than enough to the table – all at a very nice price point.

Usability and ease-of-use go hand in hand with this Xterra treadmill. You can manually set up a journey in well under a minute, or take your pick of 34 original programmes that are even quicker to fire up. This seamless get-on-and-go experience lends itself to the simple and direct LCD display, it might not be for everyone aesthetically, but it makes the treadmill absolutely effortless to engage with.

The JTX Sprint-5 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.

If you desire a treadmill with integrated interactive training, then we suggest sticking with NordicTrack and their Commercial 1750. It gives you an upgrade on the S 25i hardware and also a big 14-inch screen and speakers from which you can follow your iFit training. So, while the 1750 isn't the cheapest treadmill on the block, you do get more than just a colourful screen. It's also great value compared with far more expensive models.

The upgraded hardware means a 3.5 CHP motor and a bigger 152cm running space. Top speed and maximum user weight remain the same, as do the frame and motor warranties. With the 14-inch HD screen, you’ll be integrated with on-demand workouts led by rather intense-looking trainers.

The NordicTrack EXP 5i Treadmill is one of the brand's most compact designs, making it suitable for most homes. And as you'd expect from the brand, this treadmill is loaded with features. In our view, it's one of the best treadmills for incline currently available.

Highlights include speed variation up to 16km/h, variable 10 per cent elevation, and 20 different levels of incline, to make it as hard (or easy) as you need. There are 40 user programmes, while a digital console displays speed, incline, time, distance covered, and calorie expenditure.

If you wish, you can pay extra for an iFit subscription to gain access to a variety of predesigned workouts set in a variety of exotic locations. These workouts will automatically adjust to mirror the iFit trainer as they lead you through the route.

A 140cm long and 51cm wide running surface means it's big enough to accommodate most users, and can support a maximum user weight of up to 135kg. At 90kg, it isn't the smallest or lightest machine. But EasyLift assist helps take away some of that weight so you can easily fold it away after use.

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.

The JTX MoveLight is a compact, lightweight walking treadmill designed for easy storage and convenience, perfect for home or office use to stay active throughout the day. At a great price, you're getting a seriously intuitive experience thanks to the high-tech remote control function.

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.

Behold, the NordicTrack Commercial Series 2450, the 2023 model designed to optimise your home workout experience to a near professional level. This treadmill is a powerhouse, it combines advanced technology with user-friendly features which can suit any fitness enthusiast's needs.

At the heart of the 2450 is a trusty 3.6 CHP motor, engineered for reduced noise and includes self-cooling capabilities. This means you can push your limits without overheating the equipment or disrupting the peace in your home. The sizeable 22-inch interactive HD touchscreen is a standout , transforming your exercise routine into an immersive experience. Whether you're navigating through scenic global routes or following intense studio classes, every workout feels personal and engaging.

Despite the sturdy build, this treadmill doesn't sacrifice space for functionality. Its foldable design allows for easy storage.

The NordicTrack Commercial Series 2450 is an exceptional choice for anyone serious about achieving their fitness goals. Ready to dive into a world-class training session? Unfold your NordicTrack, power up the touchscreen, and start your journey towards true fitness.
