Best Compact Treadmills You Need To Consider

Compact treadmills are a great option to fit in even the smallest homes. Simply grab your running belt, shoes, and attire and get that cardio in!

Equipped with a light frame and some with the ability to fold, compact treadmills provide for more space when stored.

Depending on the exercise you’re planning to do, jogging or running will have an impact on the treadmill, and the heavier you are, the more the impact.

Keep in mind that compact treadmills might have a shorter belt, so for those of you with above average height and weight need to be extra picky with your choice of small treadmills.

Let’s take a look at the best compact treadmills in the market today.

Akonza 1.7HP Folding Electric Treadmill Portable Motorized Running Fitness Machine

Dimensions:

• Length: 55 inches
• Width: 27.5 inches

 

This model always deserves a mention in the best small treadmill category due to the excellent engineering by the Akonza team.

When folded, the Akonza 1.7HP could be stowed under your bed and behind any door. What separates this model from the rest on the list, is the state of the art patented motor that has one of the lowest power consumption out of all the similarly sized treadmills.

Sunny Health & Fitness Treadmill

Dimensions:

• Length: 62.2 inches
• Width: 26.8 inches

 

The Sunny Health & Fitness Treadmill is another masterpiece and is definitely one of the best compact treadmills for running.

Powered with a 2.2 HP drive system, it can deliver a challenging cardio workout without hogging that precious space at your home. You can dictate how fast you want to go by pressing the controls present on the handrail.

This model comes with a built-in phone holder, a big LCD screen, and 3 manual incline levels.

Yes, this means you have to manually change the incline before your workout, but for the price and the size of this treadmill, I believe it’s a minor trade-off. A great value for money and could easily be one of the best small treadmills for those looking for a foldable and durable machine.

LifeSpan TR1200i Folding Treadmill

Dimensions:

• Length: 70.2 inches
• Width: 33 inches

When you’re paying $900, you are investing in a top of the line treadmill that is resilient, dependable, and loaded with valuable options.

One feature that stands out from the many treadmills (even the high-end ones) is its capability of saving your workout data on USB devices that in turn can be uploaded to the lifetime subscription you are offered to an online LifeSpan Fitness Club account.

This account helps you track and manage your data, and provides motivating support towards achieving your fitness goals. Its highest selling point is the 2.5 horsepower motor that fuels your workouts, and it comes with a lifetime warranty! For portability, we liked the EZ-Fold technology, which utilizes a hydraulic shock to help in folding and unfolding the treadmill.

While slightly longer than the other treadmills on this list, the Lifespan TR1200 could easily be the best compact treadmill in the market.

Goplus Electric Treadmill 800W Folding Power Motorized Running Jogging Machine

Dimensions:

• Length: 49 inches
• Width: 24 inches

For those of you on a budget and looking for a minimalistic treadmill that gets the job done, then the Goplus Electric Treadmill is your best choice.

The basics are still here, an LCD display with two cup holders on each side of it. For under $200, the Goplus is able to support up to 260lb and can reach speeds up to 9 MPH. The missing feature from this treadmill is the handlebars, which could be a safety issue for the elderly or those with an existing injury.

The belt is 40 inches long, which means people above average height will probably have a hard time using it.
