As autumn and winter arrive, so do wet weather and the approaching cold, making your treadmill your BFF. (Unless you’re a glutton for being damp and cold, of course.) Running in the rain and cold can be miserable and slippery. But worry not, you can run comfortably in the glorious indoors with a fan directly in your face. Now you can run and watch your fave serial killer doc on TV, and get clothes that don’t need to be cute (but they so can be) for even less cash thanks to Prime Big Deal Days .
There are a ton of treadmills on the market, and it's hard to know which ones are worth buying for autumn and winter and which to pass on. Don’t worry, I’ve put the miles in to find all the best models out there, and right now, some of our faves are seeing big discounts. I’ve scoured Amazon looking for the best deals.
I’ve evaluated them for value, reliability, customer service, quality of feel underfoot, and any other spec I would traditionally assess when recommending ’mills, but paying special attention to price. Here are the best picks I’ve found. We love this treadmill at the office.
We’ve had it for years, and it consistently performs at the top of its class. Very few treadmills get to live at our HQ for any length of time, so that says something. It has a large deck, a big screen, and is easy to operate.
Personally, I love running the pre-installed programs for their variety and challenge, but even without a built-in program or the dynamic iFIT app, the treadmill is still really great. It has a cushioned deck with multiple running zones for push-off and landing, a smooth belt that doesn’t hiccup even after you’ve put serious miles on it, and well-placed, generous accessories (fan and cup holders). If you’re building a home gym on a budget, the Horizon T101 is hard to beat.
This is my go-to office treadmill, and it gives you everything a runner needs without the bells-and-whistles price tag. The 2.5 CHP motor runs surprisingly quietly, and the 20-by-55-inch belt gives you room to walk, jog, or train for a 5K, with speeds up to 10 mph and a 0–10% incline range. It has decent integrated Bluetooth speakers, a USB charging port, and an eye-level tablet holder to keep your music and shows within reach, while the three-zone Variable Response Cushioning System eases the impact on your joints.
