Best Overall
A workout for every fitness level
The Sunny Health & Fitness SF-T7909 treadmill is perfect to use with Apple Fitness Plus. It features Bluetooth connectivity, speakers, a multi-functional performance monitor, a device holder, a USB port, and a pulse monitor. It also folds for easy storage. On top of that, it features 12 auto incline levels and speeds up to 7.5 miles per hour. It is also priced right for a home treadmill with all of these features.
Strongest design
A treadmill built for 300 lbs of weight resistance
The OMA treadmill features commercial-thickness steel, so it's built to last. It features 36 preset programs, three customizable programs, and a weight capacity of 300 lbs. It has three manual incline positions and can track distance, time, heart rate, and calories.
Most versatile
A great folding treadmill to take with you
This folding treadmill will fit almost anywhere, and you can use it both with the supports up or down. That means it can fit under a desk. It has its own app but you can also connect it to Apple Fitness Plus to track your runs.
What makes it particularly versatile is it comes with a Bluetooth speaker, making it perfect for a home gym environment to help motivate you.
Best smart treadmill
The best smart treadmill to help measure your cardio progress
The XTERRA Fitness TR150 is a great model if you are looking for a smart treadmill on a budget. It features a five-inch LCD display, 12 preset programs, and three manual incline options. This is a good basic treadmill that will let you get your workout done.
With a compact design and a maximum weight capacity of 250 lbs, this is a great excuse to get a bit more fit and it comes with some great programs to get you started too.
Best 2-in-1
A treadmill that offers two fantastic features
As noted in our review, the UREVO 2-in-1 Treadmill is unique in that it can provide two functions. One is the rail up, which serves as a typical treadmill for running or walking, but this treadmill does not feature incline settings. The other is the rail down, which can serve as a walking treadmill that you can use under a standing desk.
Best compact
Another folding treadmill with an AUX port and two speakers
The NordicTrack T 6.5s Treadmill features a SMART-response motor for effective speed, interval, and endurance training. It also has a fold-away design so when you finish your workout, so it doesn't have to become part of your furniture. This treadmill also has an auxiliary port and dual 2-inch speakers. If you want to try NordicTrack's iFit service, one free month is included with live classes.
Which treadmill is right for you?
If you want a modern treadmill with all of the bells and whistles to use along with your Apple Fitness Plus subscription, I suggest the Sunny Health & Fitness SF-T7909. This is a reasonably priced treadmill with modern features such as Bluetooth connectivity, built-in speakers, a multi-functional performance monitor, a pulse monitor, a device holder, and 12 auto-incline levels.
If you are on a budget, the XTERRA Fitness T150 will help you get a good workout with an LCD screen, 12 preset options, and manual incline settings.

Why not just go to the Gym?
We live in a world where remote working is very common, as well as having a busy personal life, so walking to a Gym may not fit our schedules. Having a treadmill to call our own means that we can use one whenever we want, and it can sync up with an Apple Watch. That way, it can provide useful information to change up how the treadmill can be used.
