Finding the right indoor treadmill for home use, as we’ve just experienced first-hand, is a rather laborious task and requires quite a bit of prior knowledge. There’s not only a handful of treadmills and gym equipment brands, but also a number of product specs to look out for when browsing. We assume since you clicked to view this list, that you’re looking for an indoor treadmill that can be easily stored when not in use, can be moved, folded or rotated to save floor space, features a variety of workout customization options (as any good treadmill should), and one that’s affordably priced with respect to the features it offers.

Top Reviewed, Space Saving, Fold Flat Treadmill.
By: 3G Cardio
Editor's Note
This is one of the best treadmills we found based on the qualities we were curating for. Not only does it include a variety of speed and incline options, but it can also be folded flat and stored under a bed or behind a closet. Even though it’s designed to be easily stored, it doesn’t sacrifice in quality or function – plus it’s relatively well priced. When folded flat to the floor, it has a relatively low and manageable height of only 9.75″. Moreover, with a capability of reaching 11mph maximum speed and a 15% maximum incline, it provides a handful of customized options. In our opinion, this treadmill is one of the best, if not the best indoor treadmill for home use.

LifeSpan TR3000i Folding Treadmill.
By: LifeSpan Fitness
Editor's Note
This indoor treadmill is built with the simple to lift and easy to lower, EZfold technology, which utilizes a hydraulic shock to assist in folding and unfolding. Super handy and very space efficient, allowing it to be stored flat, below a bed, or on its side, in a closet. This treadmill also features 15 incline levels and a speed range of 0.5 to 12 mph. Additionally, the 20 x 56 inch running surface features 8 impact-absorbing compression shocks, and the 6″ Blue backlit LCD displays time, calories, distance, steps, heart rate, speed, and incline level. Another overall great pick for an indoor treadmill.

By: 3G Cardio
Editor's Note
This is not your average indoor treadmill, as it’s slightly larger and not built with a space saving, folding design. However, we thought it’d be helpful to include at least one treadmill that can still definitely be used at home, but is designed with commercial grade specs. Click through to read more about why we selected this treadmill as one of the top indoor treadmills on our list.

Bowflex TC100 Tread Climber Indoor Treadmill.
By: Bowflex
Editor's Note
Although this is technically a tread climber treadmill (i.e., not a standard runner’s treadmill), it’s a favorite of ours as a solid pick for an indoor treadmill for two reasons: one, the short tread platform design is shorter than average treadmills, meaning it’ll take up less space; and, two, because it’s an innovative piece of machinery that combines a stepper and a treadmill for a more intense workout. In short, it’s compact and will certainly give a good workout.
