Looking for a portable treadmill? Portable, lightweight treadmills are popular with people who live in condos or apartments.
Other people may live in more than one place throughout the year. They want an easily movable treadmill that they can fold up, pack away and transport to a new destination.
While there used to be more portable, compact treadmills on the market, unfortunately - there's now only one that we know of. We've reviewed it below:
$599
It's only 10" high when folded and 59 inches long. It can be stored both vertically and horizontally (i.e. under a bed or in a closet).
The Evolve treadmill comes with a a 1.5 HP motor, speeds of up to 6 MPH, 250 lb weight capacity and 2 built-in workout programs: fat burn and manual.
So it is a lot more limited in terms of options than standard heavier treadmills.
The warranty is decent and covers the frame for 20 years, 5 years on the motor and 1 year on parts and labor.
On the fun side, there's an iPod docking stations with speakers so you can listen to your favorites tunes as you walk.
Also note that the cushioning on this unit is not the best - there's not much give in the deck at all. So you really don't want to be running on this treadmill. And you may want to invest in an excellent pair of walking shoes.
But overall if you're looking for a compact treadmill that you can take with you anywhere you go, the Horizon Evolve is a handy little option for a great price.
