Product Information

But if footprint really is an issue, consider looking into our list of the best treadmill desks, which might work better for you—especially in an office space. The only other downside is that the speed maxes out at 10 miles per hour, and the incline only has 10 levels, which is lower than other picks on our list.

We also love that you can tilt and pivot the display if you want to take your workout off the belt using the treadmill's interactive training platform, iFIT. We walked, jogged, and ran on the treadmills for a minimum of four workouts per week—paying attention to how safe and sturdy they felt, as well as any other helpful or unique features. It’s important to note that this machine does not have incline capabilities, and that speed does not auto-adjust based on instructor cues—like with ProForm’s Pro 9000 Treadmil l and other options on our list. It’s also important to look for any additional features that you might want—like third-party app integration, Bluetooth compatibility, and more.The treadmill also has an infrared heart rate sensor that you can place your finger on to track your heart rate—although we found this hard to do at any pace faster than a slow walk. If you want to build up your fitness, we recommend a speed at which it becomes difficult for you to have a conversation during your workout, but below the limit for developing lactate.

So if you don’t want to purchase the iFit membership, you might want to consider opting for a more basic option like XTERRA Fitness’ TR Folding Treadmill, our best budget pick. Even if you set a high target speed, bear in mind that it takes a while for the motor to accelerate. ProForm’s Carbon T7 Treadmill comes with a free three-year iFIT subscription that gives you access to instructor-led workouts that take place in-studio or at various scenic locations around the world. Over the course of several months, each tester evaluated their treadmill while walking, running, and performing other workouts if available. Consider the type of workouts you like to do, and make sure the machine you’re eyeing is capable of delivering them.While many of them share similar features, we recommend the Pro 2000 for runners who need a solid and sturdy treadmill that can be used for guided or manual runs.

In total, we tested three treadmills from ProForm: The Pro 9000 (our best investment pick), Pro 2000 (our best for running pick), and Carbon T7 (our best for guided workouts pick).

We then rated each folding treadmill on a scale of 1 (would not recommend) to 5 (highly recommended) for ease of setup, ease of use, foldability, features, and value.
