The Best Treadmills 2022

Dimensions: 78 x 37.6 x 62.8 inches | Max user capacity: 350 pounds | Speed range: 0.5 to 12 mph | Incline range: 0 to 15{e577f2e255613ded01a030e42bce2808ed901289218648e026d62c4ad00509a4}

Nautilus is a respected brand that has a wealth of experience making exercise gear. The T616 demonstrates that with a solidly built treadmill that should stand up to many years of use. It has a 3.5 CHP motor and a 20-by-60 inch running path with a StrikeZone cushioning system, which softens impact in front and helps propel your kickoff at the back. All together, it adds up to a quieter mechanism that redirects your body’s force to a more energetic workout. You can take it up to 12 mph and simulate hilly runs with an incline of up to 15{e577f2e255613ded01a030e42bce2808ed901289218648e026d62c4ad00509a4}.

The treadmill doesn’t have the sort of large LCD display which appears to be all the rage these days, but the digital controls are large and easy to use—an important feature when you need to make adjustments in the middle of a run. It comes with a wireless heart rate chest strap as well. The system uses Bluetooth to sync with the Nautilus mobile app which includes an “Explore the World” feature—you can go on a virtual jog at dozens of locations around the globe, and the first-person video adapts to your running speed.

Bottom line: The Nautilus T616 hits all the right notes and is consequently very much in demand, which is why it often goes out of stock.

Pros:

• Powerful motor
• Solid build
• Shock-absorbing cushioning system

Cons:

4th of July sale: Horizon has discounted a number of its fitness items and is including a free floor mat with cardio purchases using code FREEMAT.

Dimensions: 70 x 34 x 55 inches (Folded: 46 x 34 x 61 inches) | Max user capacity: 300 pounds | Speed range: 0.5 to 10 mph | Incline range: 0 to 10{e577f2e255613ded01a030e42bce2808ed901289218648e026d62c4ad00509a4}

While you can certainly find less expensive treadmills, the Horizon Fitness T101 is the best intersection of price and features. It’s a somewhat small treadmill at just 20-by-55 inches, but it still offers the essential specs that most will probably want. It’s powered by a modest 2.25 CHP motor and offers speeds up to 10 mph and an incline up to 10{e577f2e255613ded01a030e42bce2808ed901289218648e026d62c4ad00509a4}. Heart rate is measured through the hand grips, and a small cooling fan helps keep you from melting on hot workout days. There’s an easy-to-use command center console and Bluetooth connectivity that lets you play audio from your phone through built-in speakers. And the treadmill comes with about 30 pre-set workouts programs.

Despite offering all those basics, it still manages to fold up—similar to the way the ProForm SMART Pro 2000 folds up, though perhaps not as efficiently—so it can take up less space when not in use. Still, it’s hard to beat the price tag, especially now that it’s 35{e577f2e255613ded01a030e42bce2808ed901289218648e026d62c4ad00509a4} off.

Pros:

• Affordable
• Built-in Bluetooth speakers
• Heart rate sensor

Cons:

• No built-in screen
• Max speed of 10 mph

Dimensions: 77.3 x 35.3 x 59.6 inches | Max user capacity: 300 pounds | Speed range: 0 to 12 mph | Incline range: -3 to 12{e577f2e255613ded01a030e42bce2808ed901289218648e026d62c4ad00509a4}

The ProForm Smart Pro 2000 is a deceptively large treadmill, heavy duty all around and equipped with a generously wide 22-inch running deck. But it doesn’t need to take up a lot of floor space 24/7 because when it’s not in use, the Pro 2000 folds up for a much smaller footprint.

It’s a great choice for dedicated runners thanks to the beefy 3.5 CHP motor, ProForm’s ProShox Cushioning system and the fact that it has both an incline (up to 15{e577f2e255613ded01a030e42bce2808ed901289218648e026d62c4ad00509a4}) and a decline (3{e577f2e255613ded01a030e42bce2808ed901289218648e026d62c4ad00509a4}). Not a lot of treadmills offer a decline, so your runs can simulate hills better than most.

The console includes an integrated 10-inch LCD display that works with ProForm’s subscription-based iFit service, which delivers streaming, on-demand guided workout sessions. The app can actively control the settings on your treadmill, adjusting speed and incline to match the workout. (Just be warned: The screen is only compatible with the iFit app or can be used in manual mode.) There’s also an included heart rate sensor, cooling fan and integrated Bluetooth speakers.

Pros:

• Wide running deck
• Shock-absorbing cushioning system
• Foldable

Cons:

• Display only compatible with iFit app ($15 to $39 per month)

4th of July sale: With Echelon’s Independence Day Bundle receive a few goodies worth up to $250 with your equipment purchase.

Dimensions: 69.3 x 31 x 49.2 inches | Max user capacity: 300 pounds | Speed range: 0.5 to 12 mph | Incline range: 0 to 10{e577f2e255613ded01a030e42bce2808ed901289218648e026d62c4ad00509a4}

The Echelon Stride is a treadmill with a modern sensibility. It’s equipped with Bluetooth and can be used with your own tablet (there is no built-in screen), and it folds up automatically at the press of a button, after which you can wheel it out of the way into any corner of the room. With its 1.75 CHP motor, it’s not the most powerful treadmill you can find, but the machine manages a top speed of 12 mph and has a maximum incline of 10{e577f2e255613ded01a030e42bce2808ed901289218648e026d62c4ad00509a4}.

While you can use the Stride manually, you’ll get the most out of it if you sign up for a membership to Echelon’s on-demand fitness program. You’ll get access to live classes as well as streaming on-demand sessions, and you can compete on the leaderboard with your own social circle of family and friends. While the monthly fee is $40 per month, the price drops to as little as $29 per month if you commit to a two-year plan.

Pros:

• Folds at the push of a button
• Wheels for easy movability

Cons:

• Motor isn’t the most powerful
• No built-in monitor

Dimensions: 49 x 27 x 42 inches | Max user capacity: 265 pounds | Speed range: 0.5 to 7 mph | Incline range: N/A

Not everyone has a room dedicated to serving as a full home gym. If space is at a premium, the Goplus 2-in-1 Folding Treadmill does exactly what the name says. The handrail folds down so the entire treadmill folds flat and can be rolled under your bed or sofa.

It’s not especially large; the deck is 16 inches wide and 40 inches long, which makes it easy to store but a little cramped in daily use. And there’s no console on the top of the handrail; the compact and minimalist display, which you can operate with a remote control, is down at your feet. There is a stand for your phone, though, and a Bluetooth speaker.

GoPlus calls this a 2-in-1 treadmill because, with the handrail folded down, you can use it for walking or jogging up to about 2.5 mph. Raise the rails and you can run at a maximum of 7 mph, powered by the modest 2.25 CHP motor.

Pros:

Cons:

• Small deck
• Max speed 7 mph

The Bowflex Treadmill 10 is a smart choice for bigger folks looking to get into walking, jogging or running. The deck, which has Comfort Tech cushioning for softer impact, supports a maximum user weight of 350 pounds, which is also at the high end of what many consumer treadmills are equipped to handle.

And one of the best parts? It has an extra large, 22-inch LCD display that you can use to access 26 built-in workout programs to burn calories, run further or get faster. The machine inclines up to 15{e577f2e255613ded01a030e42bce2808ed901289218648e026d62c4ad00509a4} and you can vary the speed up to 12 mph.

If you have the space and the budget, the NordicTrack Commercial X32i is an excellent splurge option. Although this commercial-grade treadmill is pricey, you’re paying for a machine that’s designed to stand up to daily pounding for years with users up to 300 pounds. And it has a 4.25 CHP motor—significantly more powerful than most.

It comes equipped with an upgraded 32-inch LED touchscreen and includes both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, so you can connect it to any of your favorite mobile apps. And with an iFit subscription, you can take advantage of live workouts as well as pre-recorded options from places like Austria and Africa.

Pros:

• 32-inch touchscreen
• Compatible with different apps

4th of July sale: During Bowflex’s July 4th sale, you can save up to $600 and score a free mat and or free shipping based on your equipment purchase.

Dimensions: 85 x 39.6 x 70 inches | Max user capacity: 400 pounds | Speed range: 0.5 to 12 mph | Incline range: -5 to 20{e577f2e255613ded01a030e42bce2808ed901289218648e026d62c4ad00509a4}

Not unlike the aforementioned Bowflex Treadmill 10, the 22 is capable of supporting bigger walkers and runners thanks to its top-notch build quality, but it also takes things a step further. For instance, the maximum weight capacity increases by a staggering 50 pounds and the incline improves too (there’s five percent more positive incline). But perhaps the biggest feature of this treadmill is the one that immediately catches your eye—the screen. At 22 inches from corner to corner, the massive HD touchscreen display makes guided workouts and entertainment a part of the experience.

If listening to a virtual trainer isn’t your thing, you can instead connect the JRNY app to stream your favorite shows. You can also sync Disney Plus or Netflix to the treadmill, effectively giving you hundreds of options when you’d rather zone out as the miles drag on. The JRNY app is required to access all of the treadmill’s streaming abilities, but it comes with a two-month free trial if you don’t feel like committing right away. And once you’re done working up a sweat, the treadmill folds away to save space.

Pros:

• Overbuilt design supports all shapes and sizes
• Massive HD screen offers Netflix and Disney Plus integration
• Maximum incline improves by five percent over the Bowflex Treadmill 10

Cons:

• Pricey
• JRNY app subscription required

Even though Peloton might be the treadmill you think of when it comes to taking classes, the NordicTrack EXP 10i is the treadmill you probably want to use to follow an on-screen trainer. And for a fraction of the price, to boot.

You also have access to studio workouts, yoga, cross-training and more. Want to run anywhere on earth? NordicTrack lets you with help from Google Maps. And the workout sessions can take control of the treadmill to dial in the appropriate incline and speed without your manual input. Meanwhile, you can connect your mobile device to the Bluetooth speakers to play your favorite music.

The treadmill itself is built around a 3.5 CHP motor and the belt is padded with NordicTrack’s FlexSelect Cushioning that helps simulate a real running experience while lowering the impact on your joints. You get a range of -3{e577f2e255613ded01a030e42bce2808ed901289218648e026d62c4ad00509a4} to 12{e577f2e255613ded01a030e42bce2808ed901289218648e026d62c4ad00509a4} incline and 12 mph speed.

The Horizon Fitness 7.8 AT is built on good bones, like a powerful 4.0 CHP motor and a 500-pound thrust incline motor. It’s also fast and responsive, adjusting speed and incline via user-friendly quick dials on the hand rests that react 33{e577f2e255613ded01a030e42bce2808ed901289218648e026d62c4ad00509a4} faster than most other treadmills, making it easier to stay in sync with online classes.
