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

A treadmill can help you meet your goals, whether you're training for a race or simply need to squeeze in some exercise. But it's important to choose one that folds to make space.

To fold a treadmill, simply lift the deck to the display. Then, you can lock the latch knob to secure it.

Compact Design

Foldable treadmills are small enough to fit under a bed or into the closet when not in use, yet still provide plenty of running space. They're usually less expensive than non-folding treadmills, and can help you stay active even when the weather isn't great or you're busy.

Think about your fitness goals and how you intend to utilize the treadmill. Certain treadmills are designed for walking, whereas others allow light jogging or even short runs. If you're planning to perform training that involves running or higher speeds, it's essential to check the treadmill's speed range as well as motor size prior to purchasing.

Non-folding treadmills tend to be heavier and more stable at higher speeds. They can also be less stable, especially if used by runners who push themselves to the limit. Choose a treadmill that folds with safety features such as an emergency stop button to ensure you can shut it down quickly should you lose control.

If you're looking to purchase a folding treadmill incline treadmill that is safe for runners, choose one with a powerful motor and an ample deck size. A 2.5 horsepower motor is sufficient for casual joggers or sprinters. Professional runners should look for a motor with at least 3.5 horsepower to ensure that they are able to run at high speeds comfortably. Choose a treadmill with built-in cushions to reduce the knees' impact to allow you to run for longer durations without fear of injury.

Convenient Storage

If you live in a tiny space, you should be able to fold your treadmill when not being used. Most treadmills that fold up (stay with me) have wheels and can easily be rolled away from where you workout to make space for other activities, such as when the kids come home from school or you are expecting guests to dinner later. Non-folding electric treadmill treadmills need more space since they are made to be permanent fixtures.

Although many treadmills that fold up are specifically designed for smaller spaces, they don't compromise on features or performance. The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 treadmill, for instance, folds quickly with the help of the patented EasyLift mechanism. It also has an 3.5 CHP motor and has an incline of 15% and 3 percentage decline to help increase your workout.

Another alternative is the SF T7632 folding treadmill from Sunny Health & Fitness. It can be put in a closet, or under a table, and it offers a comfortable running deck. Its small size and sturdy design makes it a great option for those who are interested in getting some light exercise while working or watching television.

If you're thinking about buying a foldable treadmill, be sure to check out the product description for more details about how it can be folded up and stored. You'll also want to look at the frame dimensions and weight along with other transport features, such as transportation wheels and carry handles that are built-in.

Travelle Gaines, a trainer at Blocks Nutrition in Los Angeles, informs PEOPLE that one of the biggest barriers to staying active is not having enough time. This makes a treadmill that folds perfectly for busy people. She says a folding treadmill allows runners to run during or after work, or even during lunch.

Easy to Operate

The best treadmills for folding are easy to use regardless of whether you're running for a short walk or a workout at home. Check for a console with simple, easy-to-use controls such as buttons for speed and incline or built-in touchscreen programming, says Victoria Brady, an ACE-CPT for fitness brand Fyt. If you're planning to power walk in the park, you should look for motors that have between 2.0-2.5 horsepower. If you're a serious athlete, you should choose one that is able to support running routines.

A good treadmill that folds should also have wheels, which makes it easier to move around your space, according to Sydney Bueckert, an NASM-CPT and the company's lead trainer in-house at Sunny Health & Fitness. It's easier to get on and off a treadmill that has wheels. You don't need to worry about moving the treadmill on your own.

It's also worth searching for a model that offers other features you'd like to have, like ports for USB and headphone cables, as well as an accessory for your device. The Echelon Auto-Fold Connected Treadmill for example, has a crisp and bright display that displays a lot of motivational metrics and allows you to connect it to fitness apps and monitor your heart rate, among other things.

Think about a model that has gas shocks, which allows the deck to lower slowly and gently instead of hitting the ground (like some models do without this technology). Also, consider a model that has a gas shock that lets the deck lower gradually and gently instead of slamming onto the ground (like some models that do not have this feature). You'll want to check that your new treadmill meets the safety standards of the area for operating it, too.

Safety

If you're looking for a treadmill that folds up and down, ensure it comes with safety features. The majority of folding treadmills have a safety lock to keep the deck in place when it is in storage mode. This feature stops the deck from being released accidentally when the machine is used. It helps to keep children away from the treadmill.

A power cord lock is a second important safety feature. This will help ensure that the treadmill fold up is turned off and away from reach after every workout session. This is particularly crucial if you have children who may be tempted to turn the treadmill on or play with the cords. If the treadmill isn't properly turned off and locked after each use, it could be accidentally powered on or children might accidentally pull the cord, causing the treadmill to speed up.

It is also crucial to ensure that you put the treadmill away from drapes and curtains that may accidentally hang over it while you're on the treadmill. This can increase the risk of an injury and create a trip-hazard. Additionally it is recommended you wear proper shoes while using a treadmill. This will reduce the risk of tripping over objects in your home, and will also ensure that you keep a steady pace when running or walking on a treadmill.

It is also a great idea to fold the treadmill and secure it prior to leaving it in a public space such as a gym or school. This reduces the chance of injury for students and patrons who are not familiar with the operation of the treadmill or the noise level in a crowded area.

Stability

A treadmill that folds has a lower center of gravity than a treadmill that is not folding and is therefore more stable. It is less likely to fall over and cause injuries if you step on the treadmill or lean back too far. It also occupies less space, which can be important if you live in a tight apartment or small home. A treadmill that folds can be a lot easier to transport. This is a huge advantage if you intend to take it with you on workout trips or business travel. It's also a great idea for you to choose an adjustable treadmill that has wheels and a handle for carrying. This will make it easier for you to move around.

It is essential to consider the speed range and incline functions when choosing a folding treadmill. If you plan to use the treadmill for running with a maximum speed of about 7.5 milliseconds is likely to suffice. If you are an athlete in competition you might require a motor with more speed.

You should also ensure that the treadmill can be folded and unfolded easily. Some models require two people to collapse while others can be folded by one person. The best treadmills will come with clear instructions on how to fold them correctly. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for regular maintenance and cleaning.

While some treadmills that fold are easy to store and operate some are difficult to move. Always go through the user's manual thoroughly to understand how the treadmill functions. It is recommended to practice using the machine before deciding if it's suitable for your fitness needs.
