The best treadmills for home use in 2024

The JTX Sprint-5 Home Treadmill is designed with regular runners in mind, whether you're a beginner or training for a half marathon. This is great value for money, with a power incline and 18kph top speed. There are 43 pre-set programmes on this home treadmill, so you can keep your fitness constantly improving with different options, or, if you already know what you want, you can save up to three custom programmes to keep yourself on track.

In addition, Zwift & Kinomap connections are possible via Bluetooth. But the features of this treadmill don't stop there, as it can fold away with a hydraulic assist lift and Soft Drop system. There's also Cushionstep suspension - meaning an eight-point rubber shock absorption reducing impact by up to 30 per cent - and a silent motor will keep noise to a minimum. If you're reading this but already know that impact-heavy exercise isn't for you, we recommend one of the best exercise bikes instead. But if you're up for a sprint with some entertainment, you can play music on a newly integrated speaker system and there's an app tailor-made for the treadmill.

Your search for a great folding treadmill is over. The FLYLINKTECH Folding Treadmill is a class above the rest, with 15 degree incline, full LCD display and high-end bluetooth capability.

This beauty uses a super sturdy stainless steel frame, a dead silent force motor, a 110cm multi-layer running belt that absorbs shock, helping to reduce knee damage on those long runs.

With the FS Sports app, you can control the treadmill through Bluetooth. App control not only monitors your exercise data, but also keep your workouts fresh, enjoy a diverse range of programmes and difficulty levels and you'll never be bored.

Branx Fitness is a UK brand you may recognise. As such, their 5-year warranty on its motor and frame and 2-year warranty on parts and labour actually do mean something. This 'Limited Edition' treadmill is a cutting-edge fitness solution that seamlessly combines innovation with practicality. It's also a game-changer for those with limited space, as it boasts a foldable design that maximises your space without compromising on performance.

The Branx Fitness treadmill incorporates eight absorption points, an upgraded running belt and enhanced front and rear rollers for superior performance. Engineered to adapt to your own running style, the StartRun efficiently absorbs impact, safeguarding your joints and providing a more elastic response during sprints. Anyone who uses this machine regularly will work up quite a sweat, so grab that gym towel and get ready for the run of your life.

When it comes to value, what we don't mean is 'cheap'. Cheap treadmills can be found for £100 or less, but with machines like these, you need something that's safe, well-built and reliable that gives you the biggest bang for your buck. Enter the JLL S300. To start with, the UK brand gives you a five-year warranty on the ample 2.5 CHP motor, plus a two-year parts and labour warranty and a confidence-boosting lifetime warranty on the frame.

On the features front, you get a well-cushioned 122 x 41 cm running belt, which can range between 0.3 and 16km/h (10mph). A selection of 15 programmes gives you fairly good flexibility for workouts, helped by the fact three of them are customisable. On the deck, you will find a surprising array of goodies. No big screen, but there is a holder for your devices and a USB and aux connection. Why? Because the JLL S300 has built-in speakers, of course. The frame is alloy steel, and the maximum user weight is 120 kg.

If you're just starting out or need something that costs considerably less than £500, this treadmill from Nero Sports is hard to resist. It's taken the prize for our best budget treadmill for a number of reasons, not just the incredibly affordable price. Firstly, this is motorised and compact. So, if you're looking for something that you can put in the comfort of your own home and get the job done, this treadmill is for you.

The build, whilst not up to that of much more expensive models, is clean, simple and reliable. As you'd expect for a space-saving budget model, it has a relatively conservative 105 x 35 cm running surface, so if you're on the larger side with a longer stride, you may need to check the dimensions. There are three levels of incline, so if you're a seasoned runner, you probably want to look at other models on our list. But for anyone who needs a 12-program motorised treadmill with a computer that measures speed, time, distance and calories, this is the one to go for.

But the features don't stop there - not only does this Nero Sports treadmill come 99% pre-assembled, but it also has Bluetooth connectivity to KINOMAP and ZWIFT. So, put your tablet on the convenient stand and get ready for some seriously fun fitness routines.

If you desire a treadmill with integrated interactive training, then we suggest sticking with NordicTrack with the 1750 Treadmill. It gives you an upgrade on the S 25i hardware and also a big 14-inch screen and speakers from which you can follow your iFit training. So while the 1750 isn't the cheapest treadmill on the block, you do get more than just a colourful screen. It's also great value compared with far more expensive models.

The upgraded hardware means a 3.5 CHP motor and a bigger 152cm running space. Top speed and maximum user weight remain the same, as do the frame and motor warranties. With the 14-inch HD screen, you’ll be integrated with on-demand workouts led by rather intense-looking trainers.

No set-up, no hassle, no stress. No need to even worry about installation issues. The portable treadmill comes fully assembled and can be used immediately after unboxing. Transport wheels mean that it's so convenient to move and store, which will only do wonders for freeing up some floor space.

Shining Bright is a multi-layer shock-absorptive running belt, which actually absorbs the force of your steps and works to protect your joints/ligaments from injury.

The Dskeuzeew Ultra Slim Walking Running Machine is super ideal for home use and storage. The value of money here is fantastic too, just take it easy the first few runs, as there is nothing to hold on to.

The JTX MoveLight is a compact, lightweight walking treadmill designed for easy storage and convenience, perfect for home or office use to stay active throughout the day. At a great price, you're getting a seriously intuitive experience thanks to the high-tech remote control function. JTX does it best.

Despite looking like a commercial treadmill and being built just as solidly, this is the best of the home-use machines we have here. Why? Because it's extremely well designed with top high-tech features such as automatically turning on when stepped on. Not to mention the true integration of the machine with tablets. Then there's access to Zwift and ROUVY routes for maximum immersion while you're running. A real bonus here, especially for those dodging the bad weather, is that it can use your personal route data from devices like a Garmin to reproduce that route for you.

Spec-wise, this has a 3.0 HP motor capable of 12.4 mph - so plenty of room there to challenge hardcore runners. The deck is a generous 19.7 x 56.3 inches too, so it's in that sweet spot between being usable for most stride lengths, at the same time as fitting into your room without hogging too much space. The Technogym App is also present for access to interactive training routines. Best of all, consider this a professional gym treadmill but slightly scaled down to fit a home gym perfectly - and all without compromising on build or features.
