Save up to £700 with these Cyber Monday treadmill deals
The darker, colder days welcome treadmill season for many runners and Black Friday is prime treadmill shopping season. While we’re still a couple of weeks away from the main event, many of our favourite brands have started dropping their prices on the best treadmills, so now’s the time to start shopping.
Our favourite models not only offer a spacious and cushioned running platform, but also keep you engaged with pre-recorded workouts or your favourite streaming show.
PSA: We’re expecting even more deals to drop as we get closer to the main event, so if you’re shopping around, make sure to come back throughout Cyber weekend, as we’ll be adding new and better deals as brands announce them.
The Expert: As chief test editor at RW, I review the latest running shoes, gear and tech, day in and day out. I also have years of experience covering sales events like Black Friday and am well versed in hunting down the best deals.
Treadmill shopping tips
We’ll be honest, all good treadmills are expensive, so it’s important to focus on what you need. Pricey models have large touch-screen displays, can get you up to 12mph, and can create inclines up to 15 percent. But if you’re only using your treadmill for walking or a light jog, an option for under £500 may well suffice.
Most treadmills priced at £1,000 and up can access libraries of interactive workouts or stream a workout from your computer or phone. Keep in mind that many of these services are subscription-based: you may get a free trial to one when you buy the treadmill, but you should consider that you’ll need to spend more to keep the motivation coming year in and year out.
All of the treadmills we’ve picked have steep discounts now, but prices online are changing constantly. To stay on top of the best deals, we use plug-ins like CamelCamelCamel which track prices over time so you can see whether the treadmill you want is truly a bargain.
Best NordicTrack Treadmill Deals
Commercial 1250
The NordicTrack Commercial 1250 delivers the quality and features you’d expect from a pro-level gym treadmill, but costs less than half as much. It nails the basics: A spacious 60- by 20-inch running deck, a 12 mph top speed, and incline adjustment from 12-percent uphill to negative-3-percent downhill.
A 10-inch touch screen pivots and tilts to create a good viewing angle, no matter your height, and supports NordicTrack’s iFIT training service, which gives you thousands of pre-recorded workouts. A 10-year frame warranty covers the machine against any issues down the road. And when you’re done, the Commercial 1250 also folds up easily to take up a little more than half of its unfolded footprint of nearly 20 square feet.
EXP 7i
If a big screen isn’t as important to you, NordicTrack’s EXP 7i boasts the same mechanical performance as the Commercial 1250, but for nearly half the price. You still get a 60- by 20-inch running deck, a 3 horsepower motor, and uphill incline of up to 12 percent. (You lose the negative incline, though.) You can still access the iFit catalog, too, but on a smaller 7-inch touch screen.
Like NordTrack’s Commercial Series treadmills, the EXP 7i uses an air spring to offset the weight of the treadmill while you fold the running deck up vertically. I’d recommend the Commercial 1250 if you’re planning to subscribe to iFit, but the EXP 7i is an excellent machine for those who just want to put in earbuds and pound out a few miles.

Commercial 2450
When you’re feeling unmotivated, the best thing you can do is lace up your trainers. If you’re running indoors, it doesn’t hurt to have a dream treadmill like the NordicTrack Commercial 2450, either. This impressive folding treadmill features a class-leading 4 horsepower motor that tops out at 14 mph, a 60- by 22-inch running deck and a 400-pound weight capacity.
When paired with a heart rate monitor, the treadmill can adjust its speed and incline to keep you in your desired training zone. As you run, an immersive 24-inch rotating touch screen with built-in speakers encourages you to get lost in your workout, whether you’re streaming an iFit training session or your latest Netflix binge. It even keeps you cool with a built-in fan.
Best Sole Fitness Treadmill Deals
ST90
If you’re looking to go big and buy a slat-belt treadmill, the discounted Sole ST90 is the most competitively priced option out there right now. Slat-belt ‘mills feature rubberized panels on the belt that provide more natural-feeling shock absorption than standard treadmill belts, which often feel either overly bouncy or too hard to many runners. Slat-Belts also tend to last longer and require less maintenance.
The Sole ST90 features a spacious 60- by 22-inch running deck, with a 12.5 mph top speed and 15 separate incline levels. You can also mirror your device to the ST90’s 15.6-inch touch-screen display, making it ideal for streaming third-party workout programs or your favorite TV show.
F63
The Sole F63 is one of the best treadmills I found right at the $1,000 mark. It’s sturdy enough for most runners, sporting a spacious 60- by 20-inch running deck, which is large enough for all but the longest strides, with 15 levels of incline and a 325-pound weight limit.
It also comes with a lifetime warranty on the frame and motor, so you can tweak the incline to your heart’s content without worrying about overworking the machine. A 6.5 inch LCD display shows you key metrics like distance, incline, calories and more.
$899.98 at dickssportinggoods.com
F80
The slightly larger, more well-equipped Sole F80 has a 22-inch-wide cushioned running deck, giving you a little more room than the F80, and a slightly higher weight limit–up to 350 pounds. Like the F63, the F80 comes with a 12 mph top speed, 15 levels of incline adjustment and a lifetime frame and motor warranty. Despite its size, we found that it's one of the easiest treadmills to move around for storage purposes.

Best ProForm Treadmill Deals
Cadence 4.0
If you’re looking to walk or hit a light jog indoors, the foldable ProForm Cadence 4.0 has everything you need and nothing you don’t. The 47- by 16-inch running platform and 1.6 horsepower motor mean the Cadence 4.0 may feel a touch cramped and underpowered compared to our other picks, but it’s large enough to let you get your legs moving.
It tops out at 10 mph, which should be fine for runners who top out around 7 minutes per mile. A simple LCD display allows you to toggle between a few incline settings–up to 5.6 percent uphill. Between the folding frame and the sub-$500 price this is a very giftable treadmill, especially if the runner in your life is more focused on basic fitness than training.
$349.98 at dickssportinggoods.com
Pro 9000
If you’re buying a treadmill to transport yourself from the basement to a high-energy workout class, strongly consider ProForm’s Pro 9000. It sports a massive 22-inch touch-screen display with dual speakers to put you in the mood to sweat.
The Pro 9000 comes with a one-year subscription to the iFit workout library, where you can access thousands of pre-recorded sessions led by over 100 different instructors. Video options aside, the Pro 9000 has a roomy 60- by 20-inch cushioned running deck with incline adjustment between 12 percent uphill and -3 percent downhill and a top speed of 12 mph.
You’ll be better off with the ProForm’s Carbon Pro 2000 if in-your-face entertainment and workout guidance aren’t high on your priorities list, but it’s a tough treadmill to beat if you prefer a more immersive digital experience.
$1699.98 at dickssportinggoods.com
Carbon Pro 2000
This more affordable cousin of the ProForm Pro 9000 has the same cushioned 60- by 20-inch running surface and a top speed of 12 mph with 12 degrees of incline (but no decline.) It has a smaller 10-inch touch screen, but still supports iFit (including a free 30 day subscription) and Bluetooth audio.
With a cooling fan in the console, two bottle holders and support for third-party heart rate monitors, the ProForm Pro 9000 is great for runners who want a simple, quality treadmill that holds up to the most serious training regimes.
Best Horizon Fitness Treadmill Deals
T101
The Horizon Fitness T101 is another treadmill oriented toward walking and light jogging, but I find that it’s a little more runner-friendly than the $350 ProForm Cadence 4.0. You pay more, but the T101 has a more powerful 2.5 horsepower motor, and a larger running deck.
I like its dynamic, three-zone running surface, which transitions from soft as you touch down near the front of the deck and feels more firm toward the rear where you push off. The 10 mph top speed is slower than most treadmills we’ve reviewed, so the T101 is made for getting your steps in or shaking your legs out between meetings, rather than distance training or speed work.
7.0AT Studio Treadmill
The Horizon Fitness 7.0AT Studio Treadmill is our favorite mill for around $1,000 and our best bet for overall value currently, according to recent RW treadmill testing. It has a comfortable bounce underfoot but still feels solid; it bounces a little too much at higher inclines, but we were impressed by the tablet holder’s ability to keep devices stable anyway.
Another standout feature is the 7.0AT’s support for fitness apps like Zwift and Peloton via its 7.25-inch LCD display. It also connects to your Apple Watch or Samsung Galaxy Watch so you can easily upload your indoor run to your device. A full-sized 60- by 20-inch running deck, 12 mph top speed and maximum incline of 15 percent round out a well-appointed mill that fits seamlessly into any tech-savvy runner’s routine.
$999.99 at dickssportinggoods.com
T202 Studio Series Treadmill
Between barebones and budget-busting, there’s the Horizon Fitness T202. I recommend the T101 as an affordable option for runners who don’t need much speed, but T202 has features that are more comparable to those of premium treadmills, and only cost a little bit more right now.
The T202 features a full-sized, 60- by 20-inch version of the same dynamic running deck as the T101. It can hit up to 12 mph, with a maximum incline of 12 percent. The display lacks support for digital fitness subscriptions, but the T202’s solid specs and lower price point make it a great value for runners who don’t need third-party app compatibility.

Update (2/12): We’ve been keeping tabs as head into Cyber Monday and these are still the best treadmill deals out there this weekend. We switched the retailers for a few of our recommendations based on price changes and availability, but prices and stock are holding steady. We’ll continue to monitor discounts and stock into tomorrow.
The darker, colder days welcome treadmill season for many runners and Cyber Monday is prime treadmill shopping season. Many of the best treadmills have had their prices slashed for Black Friday weekend, with as much as £700 off. But with Cyber Monday marking the end of the mammoth shopping event today, we don't expect these deals to last much longer.
We've spotted standout offers like 26% off the NordicTrack Commercial 1250 (a huge £600 discount) and £220 off the Reebok Fr20Z Floatride. We've also thrown in a couple of the best walking pad deals if you're looking for a more-budget friendly way to get your steps in during the working day.

The best Black Friday and Cyber Monday treadmill deals
Domyos Run500 Treadmill
This is one of Decathlon’s bestselling treadmills and after testing it, we understand the hype. Coming it at under £600 in this Black Friday deal, it offers a host of features normally found on pricier models. We’re talking speeds of up to 16kph, inclines up to 10%, no fewer than 30 pre-set workouts and the ability to fold away to save space.
It also has plenty of extras, including a port to plug in your tech, and a tablet holder.
NordicTrack Commercial 1250
The NordicTrack Commercial 1250 delivers the quality and features you’d expect from a pro-level gym treadmill, but costs less than half as much. It nails the basics: a spacious 60- by 20-inch running deck, a 12mph top speed, and incline adjustment from 12 percent uphill to negative -3- percent downhill.
A 10-inch touch screen pivots and tilts to create a good viewing angle, no matter your height, and supports NordicTrack’s iFIT training service, which gives you thousands of pre-recorded workouts.
A 10-year frame warranty covers the machine against any issues down the road. And when you’re done, the Commercial 1250 also folds up easily to take up a little more than half of its unfolded footprint of nearly 20 square feet.
JTX Slimline Fold Away Treadmill
If you're a beginner to intermediate runner, the JTX Slimline will fit the bill for you, reaching speeds of 3:45 min/km or 6:03 min/mile. And at £499 this Black Friday, it's an absolute steal — just don't expect all the extra bells and whistles that come with higher end machines, as well as the on-screen analytics or sturdiness of the frame.
That said, its slim, compact design and foldability make it an ideal option for smaller spaces, and while the belt isn't the most sturdy we've run on — especially at top speeds — it's by no means flimsy or unstable.
The treadmill comes with 40 pre-set workout programs, which will automatically adjust your pace based on your chosen workout. If you want to up the duration of each pre-set workout, you can do this easily by pressing the speed +/- buttons.
NordicTrack Commercial 1750
The 1750 is NordicTrack's most popular treadmill, delivering the same benefits as the 1250 (above) but with a larger, 14 inch tilt and pivot HD Touchscreen that you can use to seamlessly follow workouts, whether on or off your treadmill. In fact, we love the NordicTrack’s iFit programme, and if you’re buying this machine, we really do think that you should invest in the programme. It makes for a much better experience all around.
Peloton Tread Ultimate Package
This is a whopping saving on Peloton's Ultimate Package which includes not only a treadmill but a workout mat, water bottle and four sets of dumbbells.
When we tested the Peloton Tread, we found the belt balanced bounce with firmness, allowing us to generate plenty of power with each stride while providing a comfortable amount of cushioning. Testers also raved about the inclusion of easy-access adjustable speed and incline dials on the arms, rather than the usual buttons on the control panel. The max speed of 12.4mph, a 4.50min/mile pace, is more than fast enough for most runners, too, while the incline goes up to 12.5%.
When you join Peloton's global community, you can enjoy workouts on the 23.8" HD touchscreen with sound pounding through the premium speakers.
Horizon Fitness 7.0 AT Folding Treadmill
The Horizon Fitness 7.0AT is a great bet for overall value. It's got a comfortable bounce underfoot but still feels solid; it bounces a little too much at higher inclines, but we were impressed by the tablet holder’s ability to keep devices stable anyway.
Another standout feature is the 7.0 AT’s support for fitness apps like Zwift and Peloton via its 7.25-inch LCD display. It also connects to your Apple Watch or Samsung Galaxy Watch so you can easily upload your indoor run to your device.
A full-sized 60- by 20-inch running deck, 12 mph top speed and maximum incline of 15 percent round out a well-appointed mill that fits seamlessly into any tech-savvy runner’s routine.
ProForm Carbon Pro 2000
This more affordable cousin of the ProForm Pro 9000 has the same cushioned 60- by 20-inch running surface and a top speed of 12 mph with 12 degrees of incline (but no decline.) It has a smaller 10-inch touch screen, but still supports iFit (including a free 30 day subscription) and Bluetooth audio.
With a cooling fan in the console, two bottle holders and support for third-party heart rate monitors, the ProForm Pro 9000 is great for runners who want a simple, quality treadmill that holds up to the most serious training regimes.
£1499.00 at proformfitness.co.uk
Reebok FR20z Floatride Treadmill
There's £220 slashed off this Reebok treadmill, featuring the latest eco-Kinetic motor for quiet, energy-efficient performance. With a peak output of 2.25 HP, it reaches speeds of up to 18 kph and offers a 15% incline for a challenging workout.
Enjoy 32 programmes, Bluetooth connectivity, MP3 speakers, and a 30-day free Kinomap membership. Compatible with Zwift for immersive running experiences, this is a high-quality treadmill at a great price.
Echelon Stride-6 Auto-Fold Connected Treadmill
For such a powerhouse treadmill, the Stride 6 is relatively economical in size while the whisper-quiet DC motor ensures smooth, serene runs. It can reach speeds of 12.5 mph with varied incline levels on its impact-absorbing deck. Bluetooth-enabled connectivity links to live and on-demand Echelon Fit app classes, tracking real-time stats. The real selling point is that it can be folded away to just 10.5" for effortless storage.
Sprint-7
If you’re looking for a running machine that’ll test your limits, the JTX Sprint 7 shock-absorbing belt hits top speeds up to 20kph and rises to inclines up to 12%.
There’s a decent size running deck, a 7-inch display with built in speakers for cranking out your motivational tunes. Plus you can plug directly into Zwift via Bluetooth and it supports fuss-free wireless heart rate training.
Walking Pad Treadmill
If your living space doesn’t stretch to a full running treadmill but you still want a way to conquer your step count from the comfort of home – and while you work – this 3-in-1 Sperax under desk treadmill is close to half price for Black Friday.
It offers a speed range covering walking, marching and even slow running. It’s slimline enough to slide under a sofa and packs an incredibly small footprint. You can keep track of your stats with speed, distance, time and calories are logged in real time built-in display and there’s a remote for easier changes of pace. Speaking of easy, it ships fully assembled so you can get strolling straight away.
WalkingPad A1 Pro
Designed to be stored folded, simply unplug and fold this walking pad in half when you're done using it (it initially feels a bit odd and like you might break it but trust the process), then roll it under a piece of furniture.
Even with the belt regularly being folded and unfolded, it feels sturdy and well-made, the performance is smooth and fairly quiet, with the clear display cycling between distance, time elapsed and step count — which we tested against various fitness trackers and is very accurate.
