Treadmills

A treadmill for home costs on average between €350 and €1,000, depending on the type. A compact walking pad is more affordable than a running treadmill with a powerful motor, a large running surface and extra features. The maximum user weight and top speed also affect what you ultimately pay.

A good treadmill for home has a motor of at least 1 hp, a running surface of around 120 x 42 cm or more and a maximum user weight of 100 kg or more. Which model suits you best depends on your goal: for walking while you work, an entry-level model is enough; for running, choose a more powerful model with a higher top speed.

When unfolded, a treadmill needs about 100 by 150 cm of floor space, plus some clearance at the sides and rear so you can step on and off safely. When folded, most models are less than 15 cm high.

Yes, walking pads up to 6 km/h with a height of about 13 cm fit under a (sit-stand) desk and are quiet enough to use while working or on calls. Models such as the WalkingPad Z1 and A1 Pro are ideal for this.

Lubricate the deck every three to six months with silicone oil and keep the belt and frame free of dust. Our blog post on treadmill maintenance explains step by step how to do this.
