NordicTrack includes a 2.6 continuous horsepower (“CHP”) in the T 6.5S. So, it can handle up to 300 lbs. That compares favorably to more expensive machines.

This treadmill also can attain speeds up to 10 mph. Plus, it can be inclined incrementally up to 10 degrees.

A large 1.9 inch roller drives the 20” x 55” belt. In addition, the treadmill comes with adjustable “FlexSelect” cushioning, reducing the impact on your joints.

Then there is the iFit membership. You get one month free with your purchase. This brings you instruction from personal trainers. And they adjust the speed and incline as you run through interesting places around the world.

You must pay for use of your iFit membership after one month. Also, you need to use your own phone or tablet as this treadmill does come with a built in video display. But you do get a 5” backlit iFit display to see your distance, time, and calories burned.

When you are done with your work out, simply fold the belt up and store it. It takes up about half the floor space when folded. Plus, there is an Easylift assist function that makes lifting the bed easy and fast. This is perfect for a small home gym.

On the control panel, you also find two built in speakers. Simply plug in your source to the aux jack, and listen to your music, or whatever keeps you entertained while running. You can only connect with Bluetooth using the iFit app, though.

If you do not mind assembling the unit (yes, it comes disassembled), you can get a good treadmill loaded with features while spending less than $1000. For a home gym, or even a home office, this machine is a great choice.

HP: 3.0 continuous︱Dimensions open: 82” L x 35” W x 66” H︱Dimensions folded: 45” L x 35” W x 72” H︱Weight Capacity: 325 lbs.︱Machine Weight: 254 lbs.

If you are willing to push our self imposed $1000 limit, the Sole F63 treadmill is well built. It uses quality components throughout.

For instance, the F63 incorporates flywheels to create a smooth, stable walking or running surface. And Sole uses a heavy-duty welded steel frame, which Sole guarantees for life.

A continuous 3.0 HP motor drives a generous sized belt (20” x 60”). That large surface with a powerful motor can handle users up to 325 lbs.

Plus, a cushion flex “whisper” deck reduces joint impact. Sole goes so far to claim that it actually reduces the impact by 40%.

With regards to workout quality, this machine can attain 12 mph and it has 15 levels of incline. Both the speed and incline can be easily changed with buttons found on the handlebars.

For convenience, you also get 6 pre-programmed workouts. Plus, you can customize 2 of your own programs. And finally, there are 2 “heart” (i.e. cardio and fat burn) programs that come pre-installed.

By the way, the F63 has a built in cooling fan, too. For some, this is a must feature while working out. But under $1000, this is often hard to find.

The built-in LCD screen provides real-time statistics to let you know if you are achieving your established goals. It tells you speed, incline, time, distance traveled, calories, heart rate, and pace.

The built-in bluetooth speakers keep you entertained as you sweat. It also has a USB port to charge your tablet or phone. So you can use your devices while working out, a universal holder sits on top of the control panel to keep those screens handy.

Once the workout is over, you can fold this unit out of the way. It comes with an Easy Assist Folding to make lifting and storing the treadmill deck effortless and convenient.

For those who work out often, or are just hard on equipment, the frame and components on the F63 are robust. It will withstand heavy use. But quality comes at a price.

HP: 2.25 peak︱Dimensions open: 64” L x 29” W x 52” H︱Dimensions folded: 29” L x 29” W x 61” H︱Weight Capacity: 250 lbs.︱Machine Weight: 108 lbs.

Living on a budget can be frustrating as you search for a quality treadmill. But the Xterra TR150 comes with many features found on competing machines, for less.

One example, the TR150 comes with a 5 inch LCD screen. It is easy to read and tells you the speed, incline, time, distance, calories, and your pulse. Yes, it does also come with heart rate sensors.

You also have direct access buttons to adjust the speed on the fly. With these buttons you have control of a 1 to 9 mph range. Overall, this machine is capable of 0.5 to 10 mph.

The TR150 also comes with 12 pre-programmed workouts.You can vary your runs and avoid the boredom of repetition. That means you will exercise more often.

And if you are exercising regularly, you need to protect your joints. This treadmill uses a proprietary Xtra Soft Cushioned deck for that very reason.

You do not have on-the-fly incline changes with the TR150. To set your incline, you manually adjust the feet at the rear of the running deck for 3 different inclines.

This is also a fairly compact machine. When folded, it only takes 29” x 29” of floor space. Plus, the deck design allows for easy, quick folding.

However, that compact size does also mean the belt is 16” x 50”. That is not bad, but it is narrower than larger, more expensive machines.

Another thing to note, the TR150 lacks built-in speakers. For music, you will need to use your own speaker(s). But it does have holders for a water bottle, phone, or other personal items that you want close at hand.

Overall, if you need a treadmill at a budget friendly price, the TR150 gets you walking or running – no matter the weather. It may not be loaded with features like more expensive machines, but what you do get makes this treadmill a useful addition to any home gym.

With most treadmills under $1000, you must use your own phone or tablet for video. That is because a simple LCD panel is standard on most machines. But not so with the ProForm Performance 400i.

This treadmill includes a 7 inch color capacitive touch display. Plus it is iFit enabled and can be used with the personal instructors (for a monthly fee).

If you do not use the iFit option, there are a generous 50 pre-programmed workouts installed in this unit. This helps to vary your workouts, and keeps you coming back for more.

Of course, your phone or tablet can also be used for music. This treadmill includes a 3.5 mm AUX port for you to plug in. The built-in speakers then can play whatever music needed to get you moving.

And you can move. The machine goes from 0-10 mph and it is controlled by large, one touch buttons on the control panel. Same goes for the auto incline, press a single button to set a new grade from 0-10%.

A 2.0 continuous horsepower motor drives the belt over 1.6 inch rollers. This will provide enough power for those who walk, or entry to mid level runners. Serious runners may want to use something with more power.

The 18” x 50” running surface is slightly narrower than the some, but is adequate. Plus, it comes cushioned using a proprietary ProShox system to protect your joints. Also, when not in use, you can fold the running deck up and lock it in an upright position.

So, lots of features come with the 400i, including a nice touchscreen. But with a slightly smaller walking/running surface and a 2.0 CHP motor, this machine suits those who walk often, or entry/mid level runners.

Once you are done exercising, simply fold the deck out of the way. The included wheels allow you to roll it out of the way, if necessary. It even incorporates a soft drop system to make lowering the deck almost automatic.

A couple of other features to keep you moving include built-in speakers for your music. Also, a 3 speed cooling fan keeps you comfortable. Some feel these two features are a must, but a cooling fan can be hard to find on a machine at this price.

For some users, they want to put the treadmill away when not in use. The ability to fold flat, therefore, is an advantage to some.

The Asuna Space Saving Treadmill embraces this fold flat idea. It can be reduced to 4.5 inches. So, you can do things like store it under a bed. But it does so without sacrificing the key features you want.

The wrap around handle serves a number of functions. First, and most obvious, it provides grips for safety. But the front also integrates a display panel and quick speed buttons.

To get your heart rate going, you can control the speed of your belt from 0.6-8 mph. The running surface is also cushioned, to go easy on your joints.

The running surface is 49” x 17.5”. That may be a bit short for walking if you are tall. But it is fine for running. Also, there is no ability to adjust your incline with the 8730/G.

When done, you can fold this flat, and store it away. Or, if you want to move it to another room, the recessed transportation wheels make it easy. Simply tip the folded treadmill till the wheels contact the floor, and push it where you want.

The Asuna 8730/G treadmill can solve space problems with its ability to fold flat. If you do not have a long stride, and can live without an incline function, then the space saving aspects may be important for those with smaller spaces.

The belt provides a large 20” x 60” running surface. It also has a three zone, variable response cushioning system to reduce the impact on your joints.

A built-in holder presents your phone or tablet so you can use your favorite workout apps. This treadmill also has a USB port to charge your devices. Plus, you can connect with Bluetooth or through the audio jack to play your music on the integrated speakers.

Want features found only in a full sized gym treadmill, but only have the room for something compact? Then the Goplus Large Electric Folding treadmill might be the right machine for your home gym.

A capable 2.25 hp motor drives the belt and it can handle up to 265 lbs. Plus, the running deck uses an 8 stage damping system to cushion you for a safe and comfortable workout.

An incline function is missing from the feature set. For some, that might be a deal breaker. But for a “compact” machine when folded, that may not be much of a sacrifice for you to be able to store it out of sight.

And yes, Goplus appreciated the importance of music when exercising. Integrated speakers can play your favorite tunes. You have the option of using Bluetooth or the audio jack to connect your favorite devices.

So, if you are tight on space and need to store you machine when not in use, this Goplus treadmill might just fit the bill.
