How to choose a treadmill for home

The right treadmill will depend on how you use it and where it will live. If you mainly want to walk, a compact model with a narrower belt may be all you need. For jogging or running, a model with a larger belt gives you room to move. You’ll also need to consider belt length to ensure you are comfortable while using your machine. 

Space matters too. A foldable treadmill can be easier to store between workouts, particularly in an apartment or multipurpose room. If you have a permanent workout space, you may have more room to consider one of the larger models in the range.

Deciding between a fixed or foldable frame

A foldable treadmill can be handy when you don’t have a dedicated workout space. The deck folds up when it’s not in use, and some models include hydraulic assistance to make raising and lowering it easier. If you have a permanent spot for your treadmill, a fixed frame is another option.

Check the open and folded dimensions before ordering to make sure you have enough room to use and store it comfortably.

Other treadmill features

Speed, incline and motor power vary across our treadmill range. If you’re planning to walk, jog or run, check the speed range and motor specifications of the individual model against how you plan to use it. Incline is another feature to look out for. Some treadmills have a manual incline that you set before your workout, while others can be adjusted from the controls as you go. You’ll also find models with digital displays, preset workout programs and other features to help you change up your sessions.

If you want variety in your workout, an exercise bike covers the low-impact end and a weight bench covers strength work. 

The difference between treadmills and walking pads 

Treadmills and walking pads are designed for slightly different uses. Walking pads have a lower profile and compact design, making them easy to use for walking at home or while at a standing desk.

A treadmill gives you a larger exercise setup, with an upright frame, handrails and controls. Our 2-in-1 models sit between the two, giving you the option to switch between walking pad and treadmill configurations.

Setting up your treadmill at home 

Before ordering, check the treadmill dimensions against the space where you plan to use it. If you’re choosing a foldable model, check both the open and folded dimensions so you know where it can be stored.

Follow the assembly and maintenance instructions supplied with the machine. Keeping the belt and surrounding area clean will also help keep everything running as intended.

Treadmill FAQ

What belt size do I need for walking or jogging?

For walking, around 340 to 400mm wide is comfortable. For jogging, or if you're taller than about 180cm, look for 420mm or wider and prioritise belt length, since a short belt forces you to shorten your stride. 



lt can work well for walking, while a wider and longer belt gives you more room as you pick up the pace. Our treadmills vary in belt size, so check the dimensions on each model and consider the type of exercise you’ll be doing.

Should I get a foldable treadmill?

A foldable treadmill is handy if you need to pack it away between workouts or share the room with other furniture. Some models also have hydraulic assistance for raising and lowering the deck. If you have a permanent spot for your treadmill, you can consider a fixed frame too.

What's the difference between a walking pad and a treadmill?

A walking pad has a compact, low-profile design made for walking and easy storage. A treadmill has an upright frame, handrails and a console, with models available for walking, jogging and running. Our 2-in-1 designs give you the option of using the same machine in both configurations.

How much space does a treadmill need?

It depends on the model, so check the full dimensions before ordering and make sure there’s enough clear space around it for safe use. For a foldable treadmill, check the folded dimensions as well so you know where you’ll store it.

What maintenance does a home treadmill need?

Keep the treadmill clean and check the belt regularly to make sure it’s running correctly. Maintenance can vary between models, so follow the care and maintenance instructions supplied with your treadmill.
