The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 Treadmill has long been a favourite, and the 2024 model continues the legacy. While the '23 and '22 versions look almost identical, this model introduces a few notable improvements.
NordicTrack decided to upgrade the motor from 3.0 CHP to 3.5 CHP and also slightly increased the diameter of the precision-balanced rollers to provide extra grip for this added power.
There is a 14” HD touchscreen that provides a crisp picture and can be tilted and swivelled. It is designed to be used with iFit so you are not limited to just running. You can rotate the screen and follow along to other classes such as strength training, yoga and even cooking classes!
Along the side of the console there are convenient quick-press buttons that allow for quick adjustments, and the built-in autobreeze fan keeps you cool.
For runners, the 51cm x 152cm running belt provides plenty of room to stretch your legs. Plus there is an auto incline to a maximum of 12% and even declines to -3%.

When using iFit your treadmill can automatically adjust the incline to match the virtual terrain or personal trainer instructions.
Aesthetically, the new Z Frame design is easy on the eye and the running deck lines up nicely with the frame when in the folded position.
However, it is worth noting that it’s exclusively compatible with iFit. That said, iFit is one of the top interactive fitness apps on the market. And, if you choose to cancel your subscription, the 1750 still offers a range of preset workouts.

So if you are not great at DIY you won't have to worry too much. The most awkward part is getting rid of the box.
The console is straightforward with a clear LED display that provides all the details about your workout and has a built-in tablet holder to keep you entertained as you workout.
It comes with a top speed of 12kmh which is a brisk jog that will get you burning calories. There are also some quick speed buttons so you can quickly get to the speed you want.
Once you have finished your workout, the collapsible handrail lets you store the treadmill upright and can easily be wheeled away saving space.
CitySports are also known for their under desk treadmills, which are similar to this model but without the hand rail, so are useable with standing desks.
While it is hard to say this "best" machine on our list, it will be the best for a lot of people who want to jog/ walk and be able to put the machine away when being used.

4. ProForm Pro 9000

19 kph |
| Incline/ Decline |
-3% to 12% |

| Foldable |
Yes |
| Workout Programs and Apps |
iFit Compatible |
Next up we have the ProForm Pro 9000 - the top-of-the-range model in the Pro series which originates from the also very popular Pro 2000.
The tried and tested Pro 9000 comes with a strong 3.6 CHP motor, capable of producing a maximum speed of 19 kph and incline/ decline ranging from -3% to 12%.
The decline helps to add an extra dimension to your workouts and is particularly noticeable when running uneven terrains on iFit where it automatically adjusts the angle.
As you would expect from the top-of-the-range model, it comes with a large 21.5” HD touchscreen with iFit compatibility. This gives you access to 1000s of workouts, helping to keep your workouts interesting and make sure you stay motivated.
Given its presence since 2020, the Pro 9000 has stood the test of time, facing only a handful of minor hitches over the years.

The main issue we saw pop up a couple of times from one batch was a software issue where the console wouldn't update. However, the issue was easily fixable remotely and seems to have been resolved.
If you aim to secure a hard-wearing treadmill that won't break the bank, especially when compared to the pricier NordicTrack counterparts, then the Pro 9000 might just be your perfect match.
It is also worth noting, that ProForm and NordicTrack are both owned by the same parent company and often come from the same factory so the quality is almost the same.

5. NordicTrack X32i
| Running Deck Size |
55cm x 165cm |
| Maximum Speed |
19 kph |
| Incline/ Decline |
-6% to 40% |
| Motor Size |
4.25 CHP |
| Foldable |
No |
| Workout Programs and Apps |
iFit Compatible |
First things first, the NordicTrack X32i, undeniably, isn't cheap. But once you dive into its features, it is easy to see why it comes with a high price tag.
For starters, it has the steepest incline/ decline we have seen at a staggering 40% incline and -6% decline.
On top of this, it comes with a gigantic 32” HD touchscreen, which, coupled with iFit, creates an immersive and intense workout experience.
Understandably, having such a steep incline requires a powerful motor and the X32i comes with a commercial grade 4.25 CHP motor. Plus, you need an extra long running deck to accommodate this incline so NordicTrack has included a 165cm long deck.
But there are a few downsides to a machine like this. Firstly, it isn't foldable and will need quite a large space dedicated to it. If you are looking for specifically foldable treadmills then check our best folding treadmills guide.
Secondly, when delivered you will want to make sure it is a room of choice delivery as the box is VERY big and heavy weighing 209kg when in the box.
But overall, the X32i offers an unparalleled running experience. While its price and size may limit its audience, those with room and budget will be able to push themselves to the limit.
An alternative, slightly cheaper option is the step down from the X32i in the form of the X22i. The main difference is screen size which is worth considering.

As JTX's best-selling treadmill, the Sprint 7, it comes with respectable specifications but costs less than the models we have seen so far at about £1000.
It is powered by a 2.5HP motor with a top speed of 20 kph, plus a power incline to a maximum of 12%.
While its console design keeps things simple with a clear, blue backlit display, it comes loaded with 42 pre-set workouts to explore.

They have also included a free tablet holder that attaches just above the console making it easy to keep your device secure as you work out.
The running deck is spacious at 51cm x 145cm so you can get into a rhythm and not worry about where you are placing your feet.
JTX has also included an impressive 3-year home repair warranty which is above average compared to other manufacturers that normally offer either 1 or 2 years of warranty cover.
All in all, the Sprint 7 is a good quality home treadmill and is reasonably priced but still has interactive workout options available.

The Reebok Jet 300 Treadmill is a no-nonsense treadmill designed with the user in mind.
While its LED console might be basic, it clearly shows your workout time, speed, distance, pulse, incline, and calories. Plus, the large buttons are easy to press even as you work out.
For even easier access to the controls, two small handles have quick access buttons for adjusting your speed and incline. Also, they contain the hand heart rate sensors to be used with any of the pulse workouts or to check your workout intensity.
For those who love their tech, there's a tablet shelf and a media hub where you can plug your device into the USB port to keep it charged as you work out. Through your smart device, you can also connect the treadmill to Kinomaps for an interactive workout experience.
The Jet 300 comes with a reasonable 2.5 HP motor but Reebok has managed to squeeze out an impressive top speed of 20kph and 15 levels of adjustable incline.
The air motion cushioned deck is quite bouncy as you run but easy on your joints and large enough to take full advantage of the high top speed.
While it might not boast every latest feature, its sturdy construction and affordable price tag make it a popular option.

The JLL S300 Treadmill is one of the best-selling treadmills under £500 and for a reason.
Firstly, JLL is a UK-based brand that has a great reputation for its reliable customer service and good quality home treadmills. We also like to support UK businesses whenever possible.
The S300 is a no-frills treadmill that does the basics well.
Powered by a 2.5CHP motor, it can comfortably reach speeds of 16 kph and has a power incline to 12% split into 20 adjustable levels. While the top speed is a little lower than the models we have seen so far, this is a good speed for treadmills in this price bracket.
With the lower top speed, the S300 also has a slightly shorter running deck at 122cm. So if you are looking to do sprints, you might need to look at some of the slightly higher-budget models.
There is a 5-inch blue backlit display that is easy to read but not the most attractive display to look at, but it tracks your workout details and comes with 15 workout programs.
To help keep long-running sessions entertaining, there's a media shelf built into the console tray which can be used to hold your tablet and watch a show of your choice.
When you're done, fold it up and roll it away with its transport wheels. For its price, the JLL S300 is great value for money and capable of delivering a good running workout.

0% to 10% |

Connects to Echelon App |
The Echelon Stride Auto-Fold Treadmill combines style and functionality.
Its sleek, modern design features a unique-looking display that stretches almost the entire width of the machine clearly shows your basic workout information, and has 8 workouts pre-installed to choose from.
It comes with Bluetooth functionality so you can connect with smart devices and use the Echelon App. It can also sync your workout data with apps like Strava, Apple Health, and FitBit.
But, just so you are aware, the monthly price for the Echelon app can be pricey when compared to other apps. Though yearly plans have some significant discounts and are more reasonable.
On the bright side, if you do change your mind, Echelon offers a 30-day free return, but always check the terms to confirm the offer still stands before you purchase.
One of Echelon's innovative features is the auto-fold for when you have finished your workout. To fold the machine you, tilt the handles up and step on a lever to the side of the machine and it will slowly lower until it is just 8" deep.
Then you can use the handle at the rear of the machine along with the transport wheels to move the treadmill. However, the machine is still quite heavy at 71kg total, although most of the weight is positioned over the transport wheels and not on the handle.
This compact design is perfect if you are short on space, but it does mean the components have to be smaller and as a result, the motor is quite small at 1.75hp but still manages to reach a maximum speed of 19kph.
If you are looking for a compact folding treadmill with good interactive features then the Echelon Stride Auto-Fold could be the one for you.

If you're on a budget, finding good quality treadmills under £500 can be tricky as the quality tends to drop off quickly. But the Viavito LunaRun is another model that is worth considering in this price range!
Though its motor is a tad smaller than the S300 at 1.25 CHP, it still manages to reach a top speed of 16kph and comes with a power incline of 10%.
The running deck is sufficiently long at 122cm, allowing you to reach top speeds without worrying about slipping off the back and delivering a smooth experience.
One of the best features of the Viavita LunaRun is its foldability as it can be folded flat and measures less than 10" deep. Then you can easily use the transport wheels to roll it away in between workouts.
If you're looking for a treadmill that costs under £500 but can be folded flat, then the Viavito LunaRun is a great option.
