- Takes up more space than a folding trainer
Buying tips
Measure your space first, including the room needed around the machine, and check the maximum user weight. Quiet belt or magnetic systems matter in flats and shared homes. Walking pads suit steady walking at a desk, while bikes and rowers suit longer, harder sessions.
