The 8 Best Treadmill Desks That’ll Revolutionize Your Workday

If you want the cheapest path to owning a treadmill desk, this under-the-desk walking treadmill costs less than $400.

It goes up to 2.5 miles per hour when its handrail is lowered and up to 8 miles per hour when it's lifted. The Goplus, which is available in seven different color options, features a stainless steel frame, so you can be confident that it'll hold up well over time.

Besides that, the Goplus offers an easy installation, a built-in Bluetooth speaker, a spot to hold your phone, and a remote control for adjusting speed. It features a foldable design and built-in wheels for moving and storing it.

The treadmill also received high marks at GearLab, given its easy assembly, compact shape, and low noise level.

“If you’re looking for a convenient treadmill for walking or light jogging that tops the charts for storability, then the Goplus is a good option to consider,” said Jeremy Benson, senior reviews editor at GearLab.

There are plenty of good reasons the GOYOUTH under-desk treadmill has gone viral on TikTok. Just to name a few: It has a durable steel frame, a multi-layer belt that helps lessen noise, and a Bluetooth speaker onboard so you can listen to music while you exercise.

The GOYOUTH treadmill reaches a maximum speed of 6 miles per hour, which is perfect for those who like to occasionally throw a light jog in their exercise regimen. It also has a large LED display that shows your time, calories burned, steps taken, speed, and distance traveled. With a price often below $400, the GOYOUTH stretches your dollar further than other treadmills.

For those looking for a super-sleek treadmill that easily can slide under a couch after the workday is over, look no further than this option. It's extremely compact yet still reaches speeds of up to 4 miles per hour.

With a minimum height of only 5 inches and the ability to be folded in half, the company received the Red Dot Design Award. Despite its thin size, it still features a sturdy frame made of stainless steel. Plus, its ultra quiet motor is perfect for an office setting. Most Amazon reviewers remark that its walking surface is incredibly spacious, even one reviewer who is over six feet tall.

The treadmill offers three methods of control: your feet, the included remote control, or via a downloadable smartphone app.

If you're in search of an affordable, reliable, and safe treadmill, you can't go wrong with the Sunny Health & Fitness Walkstation. It has a nifty safety feature that detects when you step off it and will automatically pause the running belt if no user is detected after a few seconds. It also saves energy and enters power-save mode if the machine has been idle for 10 minutes.

"Even though I have carpet in my bedroom, the WalkStation Slim felt extremely sturdy while I was using it," said Caroline Lubinsky, a fitness writer at Garage Gym Reviews. "I didn’t feel like the motor lagged at all as I walked through a work meeting. Plus, the WalkStation Slim is really easy to move from one room to another."

This option comes fully assembled, includes a wireless remote control, and is on wheels. It even has a large 14-inch monitor that measures your time, speed, calories burned, steps, and distance. The treadmill can be stored upright, and it easily fits under furniture as well.

Whether you want a treadmill desk for employees to share at the office, or you just need something for the house that you can trust, the InMovement Unsit will do the job. Sure, it's pricey, but it's an incredibly sturdy investment that will last for years.

The commercial-grade treadmill has a silent motor that won't drown out your meeting, and it has a unique design, unlike any other treadmill desk we've seen. Rather than being long and rectangular, it's wider and shorter than your average treadmill.

"I’m 6'4" and fit on the treadmill perfectly," said Sal Vaglica, a contributor at Fatherly. "On average, I can reach about 4 miles from the morning until late afternoon, mostly while walking at a comfortable 1.5 miles per hour. And that’s helped me drop about 15 pounds since the pandemic started."

The Unsit also features a Bluetooth app that tracks your steps, distance, and calories. We appreciate that some of its parts are backed by a lifetime warranty and that it supports up to 400 pounds. Our only complaint is that we wish it were a little faster, since this one tops out at just 2 miles per hour.

This versatile, space-saving treadmill can be used in two different ways. Fold its integrated handrail down, and it becomes the perfect under-the-desk treadmill. With its handrail positioned upward, you can run with a max speed of 7.5 miles per hour.

The treadmill, which weighs less than 100 pounds, absorbs shocks and has noise-reduction tech on board. Plus, it has a built-in Bluetooth speaker. There's even a stand to hold your smartphone in case you want to watch videos while you exercise! When it's folded down, it takes up less than 3 square feet.

This under-the-desk treadmill weighs just 55 pounds and has convenient wheels. It’s just 6 inches thick, making it one of the easiest treadmills to store upright against a wall.

The treadmill is incredibly quiet, thanks to its multilayered shock-absorbing running belt and whisper-quiet motor. It supports up to 198 pounds in weight, includes a remote control, and reaches speeds of up to 4 miles per hour. The UMAY treadmill comes in black, pink, or white.

In case you haven’t noticed, only a handful of under-desk treadmills offer an incline. If you’re looking to have the option of increasing the incline while you’re away from your desk, we recommend the Walker Plus M1T. It comes fully assembled, has a low profile, and is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.

It’s worth a mention that a standard treadmill typically goes from a zero to 15% incline (the highest being the equivalent of going up a steep hill), but the Walker Plus only has a 5% incline. Regardless, having a boost in the incline better replicates what it feels like to run outside and will help you engage more muscles.
