GYMAX Walking Pad, 2.25HP Dual Display Foldable Treadmill for Home with Remote/Smart App Control, Portable Compact Treadmill for Office Under Desk, Folding Running Machine for Small Spaces

Package arrived and was able to move it and unpack it on my own. I would've needed another person if I’d wanted to take it up or down any stairs. It was easy to set up. Tested it out and was very happy. My teenager then put it through its paces, running and walking at all speeds. It’s easy to fold the handle up and down—easier than I expected. For the price and size it’s pretty great and I’m looking forward to replacing my couch potato tie with walking time.

I cannot speak to longevity yet as I have only had it a few weeks but this is exactly what I was expecting and love it!!! Sleek and compact. Fits comfortably in my home office, right beside my desk, with the option of folding it up out of the way. I love everything about this treadmill! I chose this because I wanted to trial home use during work and ditch my gym membership. Purchased mainly to walk on but I can definitely see myself doing light jogging on this, so sturdy and quiet! I am so happy with my purchase so far!

The media could not be loaded. I had previously reviewed a stationary exercise bike and a $300 treadmill for working out at home while the local gym has been somewhat on lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. The bike never got used and the treadmill -- you truly DO get what you paid for! I sold it after it had been sitting there for months. With that said, my brother and I each were still on the hunt for a treadmill: one for use with a standing desk and another that is more traditional to what you would find at the gym (which I will be reviewing later too).I wanted to ensure that this treadmill would get its fair use before writing the review. Over the last 3 weeks, I had used it about twice each week, and my brother exercised on it for about a month for 3-4 times a week.Right off the bat, you should be aware that this treadmill does NOT compare to what you would find at the gym where those machines cost more than $1000. What it DOES have going for it is that it can be used very well with a standing desk.SETUPIt was SUPER easy to put together (instructions were good enough to follow). Attach the phone holder and optionally, the arms. The latter took some time to mount, and in fact, I actually got a bit frustrated until my brother stepped in and said: put the bolts in first, line up the arms' holes, and THEN screw in the bolts. Duh. Don't do what I did: attach the arms and try to fish the bolts into the arms' holes.MATERIALThis treadmill looks VERY cool! In fact, if you have the control unit folded up, you will see Green, Orange, Yellow, and Red lights flash outwardly with each step as if to tell you that it feels you. Some may find this annoying and I found no way to turn that off. My brother and I both like it though.USE- It shows the values in metric units. In other words, you will see km/h instead of mph. I found no way to change that. Speeds go up to 14 km/h (8.7 mph).- There is a red magnet that attaches to the control unit. You should clip it to yourself so if you fell, it would INSTANTLY shut off the machine.- Instruction manual includes 2 silicone lubricant bottles. It states that for better performance and longevity, you should squeeze some lubricant to the bottom of the treadmill's running belt and let the machine run at the lowest speed for a few seconds. The previous treadmill I had did not come with any lubricants, and so this shows that the company seems to care about the quality of its equipment.- In its folded position (with arms removed), you can use the treadmill with a standing desk. I love this! To activate it, the remote control is required.- The display cycles through speed, elapsed time, distance (in metric units), and calories.- The phone holder only can accommodate a phone and not a tablet.- Belt starts after a 3 second count down when the Start button is pressed.WHAT I DID NOT LIKE- The side arms must be bolted on or off. There is no quick-release/quick-attach option. What this basically means is that you will likely have the treadmill either always in its unfolded position (with arms attached) or completely flat (with arms removed). If you leave the arms on, the control unit does not fully fold down so you could more easily tuck away the entire treadmill. If the arms could be easily folded away or removed, you could then easily put away/take out the treadmill for a quick workout without having to attach/detach the arms each time.- At the tail end of the treadmill, you will find a metal bar that presumably helps keep the treadmill rigid. However, if you slipped off while walking barefooted (mind you, you should ALWAYS be wearing shoes while working out), you could easily get hurt -- found out the hard way. Likewise, if the treadmill was turned on accidentally by a child, he/she could have a finger or foot sucked in by the belt for a potentially serious situation. So, always make sure the emergency, red button AND the power cord are put away to keep the kids from turning it on!- Phone holder can only accommodate a phone and not a tablet- There is no heart rate measurement function- You cannot change the display to imperial units (mph/miles)- Remote control is required when treadmill is used in its folded positionThis treadmill takes up a surprisingly small amount of space, looks futuristic, and is a perfect companion with a standing desk. In its fully extended position, I was able to run fine to about 8 km/h (5 mph). It felt sturdy and safe and was wide enough that I could still focus on work while walking. Quite happy with this purchase.

The media could not be loaded. I just got it yesterday and so far I really like it. It has Bluetooth speakers which are not the loudest but they are definitely reasonable. It has a remote control as well as you can start and stop and adjust the speed using the display on the riser or bar. The numbers on the bar are not touch screen so you can't adjust the speed using the numbers, just with the plus and minus signs. It goes up to four kilometers per hour with the bar folded down and 12 km per hour with a bar fold It up. But I'm going to be honest it feels a little bit faster then what it says it is which is fine by me. I got this one as a replacement for a previous treadmill that was broken. And I've only used it once to walk and run on it but it's pretty quiet and I like it a lot. The timer and distance and calories burned on the display on the bottom do not increment unless you are actually walking on the treadmill which is a cool feature. The safety clip will abruptly stop the machine if it's removed so well yes that is the intended purpose of the clip just be careful if you are running and all of a sudden the clip is pulled off, the machine will quickly stop and you might hurt yourself in the process. The only thing that annoys me is that I can't turn off the beeping when you adjust the speed because I was planning on using it when my daughter sleeps but the beeping when I change the speed will wake her up. It has a little phone holder but I plan on adjusting it or making a modification to it so that I can put my tablet on there. You don't have to attach the horizontal bars on the sides of the riser if you don't want to but the riser or bar does have to be in an up position if you plan on using it for speeds faster than 4 kilometers per hour because it just will not let you go faster if you don't have the riser up. I was afraid that the belt would not be wide or long enough but it's a perfect size for me granted I am 5 ft 1 in. Overall I am super happy with the purchase and someone said you get what you pay for but there's some treadmills out there that you don't get half of the things that this one has so we'll see how it stands up in quality.
