Best treadmill 2023: Peloton, Bowflex, Technogym and more

Foldable treadmills are incredibly popular, offering a space-saving alternative to static standing options. So, if space is what you need, the Echelon Stride may be your best bet. Easily folding down (with an auto-fold function) to just 25cm wide, with handy wheels for when you want to move it, it can be stored against a wall, under a bed or in a large cupboard, for times when you’re not ready to run.

Being so small – it's just a little bit larger than the Domyos smart compact treadmill – it doesn't feel quite as sturdy as the likes of the Peloton or Bowflex, but this is to be expected.

The touch screen is incredibly sleek and easy to use, and there are easy-to-access speed and incline buttons on the handles, which also monitor your heart rate. You can even prop a tablet up on the screen, to keep you entertained. You’ll also find two bottle holders, so you can stay hydrated during long runs – a simple but handy feature.

Be sure to also download the Echelon fit app, to reap the full rewards of classes, progress tracking, leaderboard ranking and more.
