Why It's Important to Find a Treadmill That Folds Up

A treadmill can help you meet your goals, whether you're preparing for a race or just want to get in an exercise session. But you must choose one that folds to save space.

To fold a treadmill, first raise the deck towards the display. Then, you can close the latch knob to lock it.

Compact Design

Foldable treadmills fold up are compact enough to fit under a bed or into the closet when not in use yet still provide plenty of running space. Folding treadmills are usually cheaper than non-folding ones and can help you stay active during days when the weather isn't great or when you're working.

To determine if a treadmill that folds is the right fit for you, consider your fitness goals and what you plan to use it for. Some models are meant for walking only, whereas others can support light jogging or even short runs. Before you purchase a treadmill ensure that you know the speed range and motor size.

Non-folding treadmills are usually heavier and therefore more stable at high speeds. However, folding treadmills also come with a design that could make them less sturdy especially when they are used by runners who are pushing themselves to the max. Look for a folding treadmill equipped with safety features like an emergency stop button that will ensure you can easily shut it down should you lose control.

If you want to purchase a foldable treadmill that's safe for runner pick one with a powerful motor and an ample deck size. A 2.5 horsepower motor is sufficient for casual joggers or sprinters. Serious runners, however, should choose a motor with at least 3.5 horsepower to ensure they can run at high speeds comfortably. Look for a treadmill with built-in cushions to reduce the knees' impact so that you can run for longer periods of time without fear of injury.

Convenient Storage

When you're not using your treadmill, it should be able to fold it up. Most treadmills that fold are equipped with wheels so they can be easily removed to make space for other activities. For example, when your kids arrive at home from school, or when guests arrive later. Non-folding treadmills typically need more space because they are designed to be permanent fixtures in your home.

Although many treadmills that fold up are specifically designed for smaller areas, they do not skimp on features or performance. For example the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 treadmill folds up quickly thanks to a patent-pending EasyLift assist mechanism. This treadmill also boasts a 3.5 CHP motor. It also has both a 15% incline and a 3 percentage decline to help increase your fitness.

Another alternative is the SF T7632 folding treadmill from Sunny Health & Fitness. This treadmill is easy to put in a cupboard or under a desk, and is still a comfortable running surface. Its compact size and sturdy construction makes it an ideal choice for people who are interested in getting some light exercise while working or watching TV.

If you're thinking of purchasing a treadmill that folds make sure you check out the product description for specifics on how it can be folded up and put away. You'll also want to look at the frame dimensions and weight and also the added transport features such as wheels for transportation and built-in carry handles.

Travelle Gaines is a trainer in Los Angeles at Blocks Nutrition. She told PEOPLE that the biggest hurdle to staying active was not having enough time. A treadmill that folds up is therefore ideal for people who are occupied. She says that a treadmill that folds allows people to run in the morning or after work, or during lunchtime.

Simple to operate

The most effective folding treadmills can be operated easily, whether they are used for an easy run or a leisurely workout at home. Victoria Brady, ACE-CPT and fitness brand Fyt, recommends looking for a treadmill with intuitive controls, such as buttons for speed or incline, as well as touchscreen programming. Find a motor with 2.0-2.5 hp if you plan on walking with power, and opt for one that can support routine running if you're a serious runner.

A good treadmill that folds should also come with wheels that make it easier to move around your space, says Sydney Bueckert, an NASM-CPT and the lead trainer in-house at Sunny Health & Fitness. "It's a lot easier to get on and off the treadmill with wheels so you don't need to be concerned about moving it by yourself."

You should also consider models with additional features, such as ports for USB cables, headphone jacks and an accessory for your device. The Echelon Auto-Fold Connected Treadmill for instance, has a bright and crisp display that displays a lot of motivational indicators and allows you to connect to fitness apps and monitor your heart rate, among other things.

Consider a model with a gas shock that lets the deck lower slowly and gently instead slamming onto the ground (like certain models do without this technology). You should look for a treadmill that comes with gas shocks, which allow for the deck to be lifted slowly and gently, rather than hitting the ground like some models do. You'll want to check whether your treadmill meets the safety standards of the area to operate it.

Safety

When selecting a treadmill fold up, you want to ensure that it is equipped with safety features. The majority of folding treadmills come with the safety lock that holds the deck in place when in storage mode. This feature prevents the deck from being accidentally released when the machine is used. It helps to keep children from being around the machine.

Another important security feature to look out for is a power cord lock. This will ensure that the treadmill is shut off and away from reach at the conclusion of each workout. This is important, especially if you have young children who might be tempted to play with the cords or switch on the treadmill. If the treadmill isn't locked and shut off after every use it could be accidentally powered on. Or children could pull the cord, causing it to speed up.

Also, make sure that the treadmill is away from things like curtains or drapes that could accidentally hang over the treadmill while you are using it. This could increase the chance of injury and can create a risk of a trip. In addition it is recommended you wear the right shoes when running on treadmills. This will help to reduce the risk of falling over objects in your home, and will also help you maintain an even pace while running or walking on a treadmill.

It is also a good idea to fold up the treadmill and secure it prior to leaving it in a public place such as a gym or school. This reduces the chance of injury to students and other patrons who aren't accustomed to the operation of the treadmill or the level of noise in a noisy area.

Stability

A treadmill that folds has a lower center of gravity than a treadmill that is not folding which makes it more stable. This means it is less likely to tip over, causing injury to you if you step off the treadmill or lean too far back. It occupies less space and is essential for those who live in a small space or a home. A treadmill that folds also makes it easier to transport. This can be a big advantage if you intend to take it for workouts or business travel. It is also a good option to select a folding treadmill with wheels and a carry handle. This will make it easier to move around.

When selecting a treadmill that folds it is important to take into consideration the speed range and incline function. If you intend to run on the treadmill with a maximum speed of about 7.5 mph is likely sufficient. However, if you're an athlete, it may be necessary to choose a faster motor.

In addition, you must ensure that the treadmill is easy to fold and unfold. Some models require two individuals to fold while others can be folded by one person. The instructions for folding the top treadmills should be clear. It is also important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for regular maintenance and cleaning the unit.

While some treadmills that fold up are simple to operate and store some are difficult to move. Always read the manual thoroughly to fully understand the way the machine functions. Then, you must try it out before deciding if it's the best choice for your fitness needs.
