The best thing about WalkingPad treadmills is that most models fold completely in half making them super easy to store away and ideal for small spaces.

It’s a compact model that folds to fit well in small spaces. Plus it doesn’t have a bulky screen, so it’s great for those that prefer a more unplugged running experience—but it will still track your stats and connect to popular tracking apps like Strava, Apple Health and FitBit. Right now, you can take off 15% from any of the models with the code SUMMER15.
