Buy a treadmill – gentle on joints & efficient

Treadmills enable predictable, weather-independent training at home – from walking to interval training. Key criteria are cushioning and running surface (depending on height and speed), motor power and incline range as well as console/apps. Also discover compact options like the Walking Pad for the office & living room or flexible 2-in-1 treadmills with foldable handrail/desk function.

Whether an electric treadmill for daily training, a foldable home treadmill for small spaces, or an incline treadmill for hill workouts: all common design types are covered. Those looking for a high incline will find it in the T23 Pro Climb with up to 42 percent – alongside a long running surface measuring 140 × 48 cm.

Buying guide

Cushioning & running surface

Cushioning zones reduce impact loads. The required running surface depends on height and speed: At higher speeds or for taller users, longer and wider decks provide extra margin and safety.

Motor, speed & incline

Continuous motor output should match your training goals. Incline profiles enable uphill runs and varied intervals.

Console & Apps

From LED displays to touchscreens with Wi-Fi: clear workout metrics (time, distance, pace/speed, HR) are essential, along with – depending on the model – programs, app compatibility, or entertainment features.

Space & Handling

Pay attention to setup dimensions, folded dimensions if applicable, and transport rollers. Also check maximum user weight and frame stability. For small rooms, Walking Pads are ideal; if you want to combine work & walk, 2-in-1 treadmills are a great choice.

Comparison of our bestsellers

Suitable for beginners?

For beginners, top speed isn't what matters most; it's whether the machine fits the apartment and gets used regularly. Two approaches have proven effective:

• Walk instead of run. The Walking Pad T25 (from €209) is only 12 cm high and requires 121.7 × 56 cm of space. Up to 6 km/h and 5 % incline – completely sufficient for walking and incline walking.
• Keep both options open. The 2in1 Walk & Run T21 (€418) weighs 35 kg, measures 151 × 81 × 135 cm, and is foldable – walking and light running in one machine.

What getting started specifically looks like can be found in our running plan for beginners: three sessions per week, eight weeks from walking to continuous running. The complete plan is available for free as a PDF.

How much space do you really need?

Our treadmills range between 121.7 × 56 cm (Walking Pad) and 208 × 98 cm (Studio Pro T22). Six of the twelve models are foldable. Allow an extra half meter of clearance behind the treadmill – not for technical reasons, but for safety.

In practice, space-saving means: foldable or flat. A traditional treadmill stays where it is; a walking pad disappears under the couch. If you want to store it away between workouts, you're choosing the design type, not just a model.

How loud is a treadmill in an apartment?

For the Studio Pro T22, we measured 48 to 53 dB – about the level of a quiet conversation. The disruptive part isn't the motor, however, but the footsteps transmitted through the frame into the floor. Therefore, a floor protection mat isn't an extra, but an essential part of the setup.
