mph (perfect for a post-run cool down) and a maximum speed of six mph, just 30 minutes of use at any speed is sure to get your heart rate up and the sweat flowin'. We were able to fold it easily (no automatic mechanisms or buttons to press, just a simple manual fold), and we also slid it as-is under a couch.

Stationary treadmills often have much sturdier builds, with room to let your feet compress the track surface. Note that even when folded, the treadmill height is about 5”, so it may not fit perfectly under low-to-the-ground couches.

Some even allow you to walk at an incline, and some of the ~extra~ special ones have a desk already built into them. It also features a non-slip surface, so you feel like you're on one of those fancy treadmills at the gym. Reviewers also love that this walking treadmill is super sturdy—it's built with solid, durable materials to provide stability—and can hold up to 220 pounds.

Under-desk treadmills and under-desk bikes are both easy ways for those with sedentary lifestyles to add more activity to their day. The small footprint and foldable treadmill design make this a solid pick for those with limited space. MERACH's T05 Smart Walking Treadmill has a max speed of 6 miles per hour, but we did not feel comfortable or safe using the faster speeds when testing the treadmill. Simple to set up, we opened the main track, poked in the handlebar, adjusted the wires and it was good to go. It originated during quarantine, when many of us rediscovered the pleasure of a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood when it was really all we could do to break up the monotony.Based on reviews, we've come to the conclusion that under-desk treadmills are the perfect way to get walking whether you've got a million meetings, you woke up too late for the gym, or you just don't feel like getting dressed to go outside—aka whenever you want.

The problem is that so many of us spend our working days tied to a desk, and that means little to no activity. Our experts recommend choosing a treadmill that has a quiet belt, and that can be activated and adjusted without beeping.

Comfort: While we use the walking pads, we assess whether the belt is wide and long enough for a comfortable stride while also absorbing shock and feeling stable (rather than shaky). The major selling point of this treadmill is that it has intelligent speed control, changing speed by tracking the human motion trajectory (pretty high-tech stuff, right?

What's more, this tread also comes with multiple safety functions like overload protection, child lock (this one's for you, parents), automatic standby, and a safety bar you can attach for better balance. Foldability: If the walking pads fold, we fold and unfold them to note the ease or difficulty of that process. The under-desk treadmills we tested topped out at 5 mph, and only one had the capacity to incline (up to 5 percent).At just 38 inches long and under 22 inches wide, it’s among the most compact under-desk treadmills on the market, and its 55-pound weight makes it easy enough for one person to move alone.
