TREADMILLS

There’s never been a better time to hit the road to nowhere

Peloton Tread

Putting aside early recalls and tumbling share prices, the Peloton Tread is an ace treadmill and enjoys the same style of live classes and flawless production values as the firm’s bikes. The 23.8in HD touchscreen is exceptional and really pulls you into the group classes, while the controls are smooth.

NOHRD Sprintbok

You simply can’t outrun this manual treadmill. There are no settings, motors or chiselled coaches egging you on, just a pure running experience honed out of hardwoods.

It’s a bit odd just running on the curved footplate, but the gentle incline helps you smash through 30% more calories for faster results.

Echelon Stride

This use-your-own-tablet treadmill is for those moving on from their first Parkruns but with no intention of smashing out an Ironman. It has a large running area and more than enough speed to keep casual runners interested, though the 10% incline limit might have some hill-lovers craving more pain. £1399 / echelonfit.uk

Domyos Intense Run

Trust Decathlon to deliver a top-notch feature-packed treadmill without the massive price tag. OK, so £1100 isn’t cheap (they also do a £200 model we’re not going to recommend), but for that you get a maximum speed of 22kmh and incline of 15%, a cooling fan and 40 preset coaching programs.
