We stress-tested the latest machines from NordicTrack, Horizon, and more to find the best treadmills that fold up and roll out of the way.
The allure of a treadmill is strong: When the sky is dumping buckets of rain or mounds of snow, you can still get your jog or workout in. But a treadmill is a massive piece of furniture that takes up valuable real estate in an already crowded basement or garage. We don't all have the space for it.That’s where the value of a folding treadmill proves itself. It folds up into a more compact shape for storage, so you can slide it into a corner between runs.
One little feature that was appreciated: music control buttons built into the console. When your phone is connected via Bluetooth, songs play through the treadmill’s speakers, and you can easily change tracks without having to unlock your phone or swipe the screen with sweaty fingers.Though it has a smaller motor than some of our top picks and lacks a fancy touch screen, the Sole F80 treadmill is still a serious training tool.
