4 Compact Treadmill for Home Workouts

A compact treadmill is a smaller treadmill made for home use - and it can usually be folded for easy storage. But the compact design doesn’t have to mean a lack of features, which makes compact treadmills the perfect solution for those who want a good workout but have limited space.

At SOLE Fitness, we're proud to offer the best treadmills for your home or gym. These machines are crafted to meet the highest standards of quality and performance, ensuring they are ideal for anyone - from fitness novices to seasoned athletes. Featured Product SOLE Treadmills: Starting at $1,199.99, SOLE treadmills excel in ergonomic design, durability, and value. Equipped with advanced cushioning to minimize joint impact, powerful, quiet motors, and wide running surfaces, they suit any fitness level.

Size & Foldability

Why It’s Important: Space can be tight in home gyms. A compact treadmill that’s easy to fold and store is perfect for small areas.

Model	Footprint	Folded Dimensions	Fold Mechanism
SOLE F63	77” L x 35” W x 67” H	50” L x 35” W x 72” H	Kick release
NordicTrack EXP 10i	70.8” L x 34.9” W x 59.7” H	N/A	SpaceSaver® + EasyLift™
Peloton Tread	68” L x 33” W x 62” H	N/A	Non-foldable
Horizon 7.4 AT	76” L x 37” W x 63” H	42” L x 37” W x 71” H	FeatherLight Folding

Running Surface & Incline

Why It’s Important: A wider and longer running surface allows for more comfortable runs, while incline settings help vary the intensity of your workouts.

Model	Running Surface	Incline Range
SOLE F63	20” x 60”	15 levels
NordicTrack EXP 10i	20” x 55”	12 levels
Peloton Tread	20” x 59”	12.5 levels
Horizon 7.4 AT	22” x 60”	15 levels

If you want a treadmill with a bigger running surface and a good range of incline levels, our SOLE F63 and Horizon 7.4 AT are an excellent choice. The Peloton Tread has a slightly smaller running surface but still offers enough incline options for a varied workout.

Motor Power & Noise Level

Why It’s Important: A strong motor keeps your treadmill running smoothly, especially at high speeds or steep inclines. A quieter treadmill is a must for home use, so it doesn’t disturb others. Here’s how horsepower (HP) of the motor affects treadmill noise:

Higher HP, Less Work: A treadmill with more HP doesn’t need to work as hard to keep up speed or handle inclines. This usually means the motor runs smoother and quieter, even during tough workouts.

Lower HP, More Noise: A treadmill with less HP might struggle with higher speeds or inclines, making the motor work harder and the machine louder.

Motor Quality: A well-made motor with higher HP is often designed to run quietly, while a lower-quality motor might be noisy no matter how much HP it has.

Our SOLE F63 and Peloton Tread both have 3.0 HP motors - strong enough for smooth running at different speeds and inclines, and quiet enough for home use. The NordicTrack EXP 10i has a weaker motor - and while it can handle workouts it might get louder during intense sessions. The Horizon 7.4 AT has the highest horsepower motor at 3.5 HP.

Build Quality & Weight Capacity

Why It’s Important: A well-built treadmill with a high weight capacity stays stable and lasts longer.

Model	Weight Capacity
SOLE F63	325 lbs
NordicTrack EXP 10i	300 lbs
Peloton Tread	300 lbs
Horizon 7.4 AT	318 lbs

Price & Warranty

Why It’s Important: Buying a treadmill is a big investment. Think about the cost and the warranty to make sure you’re getting a good deal and peace of mind.

Model	Price	Warranty
SOLE F63	$1,199.99	Lifetime on frame and motor, 2 years on parts
NordicTrack EXP 10i	$1,499.00	10 years on frame, 2 years on parts
Peloton Tread	$2,995.00	5 years on frame, 3 years on motor and belt
Horizon 7.4 AT	$1,599.00	Lifetime on frame and motor, 5 years on parts

Our SOLE F63 gives you the best deal - it’s the cheapest and includes a lifetime warranty on the frame and motor. The Horizon 7.4 AT also has a lifetime warranty, but it costs more. The NordicTrack EXP 10i is $1,499 with a shorter warranty on the frame, while the Peloton Tread is the most expensive at $2,995 and has the shortest warranty.
