You'll find options with inclines, some with large screens that allow you to stream live workouts, ultra quiet ones, and even a few that have desks so you can answer emails while getting some steps in. All of them are compact, and some are even portable, offering you the ability to tote them around different rooms in your home.

A great choice for ultra small spaces, Sunny Health's minimalist treadmill is the perfect no-frills option if you really want something super compact without breaking the bank. For under $200, it even comes with incline capabilities. It's a manual treadmill, meaning that there aren't presets for speeds—you'll dictate the pace at which you move.

Rave Review: "I've only had this treadmill for two days and I fell in love with it after the first 20 minutes! I take my dog on a walk frequently, but those are leisure walks and I needed something more to burn calories. I do yoga and light weightlifting at home, but still needed something more and this was perfect!"

At just 49 pounds, this is by far one of the lightest treadmills you'll find. It works manually, meaning you'll dictate the speed by how fast you choose to go. The fuss-free cardio machine is great because it still offers an incline and you don't need to be connected to any outlets for it to work—use it literally anywhere, including your own backyard.

Rave Review: "I have to say that I didn't expect much due to the price of this treadmill and the fact that it was manually operated. After having used it for 20+ miles, I must say this is a quality product. It is a no-frills piece of equipment, but it delivers just fine. I like the information that the readout provides and the easy adjustment for the angle of the treadmill. I didn't think it would be all that sturdy but it stays where you put it and feels very solid in use. In my honest opinion, this is a great deal on a quality piece of simple but effective equipment."

As convenient as at-home workouts can be, sometimes you want the guidance of a trainer, too. While it can be pricey to bring a trainer to your space or to pay for one of those monthly subscriptions, SereneLife's folding treadmill offers 12 preset training programs for under $350 at a one-time cost. Yup, no apps or monthly payments required with this one.

Rave Review: "My husband and I are very pleased with our treadmill! It was very easy to assemble, came very quickly, and was perfect for a small room since it folds up. Folding it up and taking it down is very easy and it also has more features than I would expect, such as counting calorie burn and pulse. I personally enjoy the pre-programmed workouts. So, I just turn it on, choose a workout, and go. We feel it's definitely a great piece of equipment."

Xterra's foldable treadmill is the ultimate essential if you don't want any frills like trainer-led workouts or an LED touchscreen. With over 11,000 five-star reviews, it's a good price for the value considering that for $400, you'll get preset workouts, a sturdy frame, wide screen, and three incline settings.

Rave Review: "This treadmill has totally surprised me! Two years later and it still functions perfectly! The motor still sounds as new as the day I assembled it, the tread still moves smoothly, and all the buttons and programs still work flawlessly. It's definitely a fabulous bang for your buck!!"

Goplus' foldable treadmill has a really sleek look, whether it's folded or not. Use it with the handles when you're wanting to run, or put the handles down and put it under your work desk to up your step count while on video calls. For $500, it packs in tons of features. It comes in seven different color options, has an LED display, features bluetooth speakers, and is just 74 pounds.

Rave Review: "I don't know why I didn't buy this sooner. It's because I didn't want to have a living room with a massive treadmill taking up space. This slim treadmill is a game changer. I still go to the gym, but when home and I just want to get some miles in while watching TV or reading emails, this is the perfect addition to our small home. I highly recommend this for the price. It is a good addition to your workout routine, and to actually help you keep to it."

Folding up to the size of a laptop, Walkingpad's treadmill is what you'll want to get if you're really low on space. It's perfect for a college dorm room, that tiny studio apartment you're sharing with three roommates, or just sliding under your (home) office desk.

Rave Review: "I could not be more satisfied with this purchase. I tell all my friends, family, and colleagues how much I love it and encourage the investment. I went from a very active position at work to completely sedentary work from my home office, so I wanted to get a little more movement in my day. I was apprehensive at first, did a ton of research to pick this walking pad, and I have no regrets. Right out of the box, I had it up and running in 10 minutes flat. I've walked 120 miles in four weeks on this thing already! It folds up nicely and tucks away so it's not cluttering my office space when I do need to sit."

Dedicated walkers and runners looking for a piece of equipment that'll be a good long-term investment will appreciate this NordicTrack treadmill. The brand has partnered with Google Maps so you can choose literally any spot in the world to immerse yourself in and go for a guided run—no passport required. You can even choose to follow a wide variety of customized workouts specifically catered to whatever your fitness goals may be.

Note: This treadmill folds up against a wall rather than down on the ground.

Rave Review: "I keep this in my dining room. I get to visit anywhere in the world while I work out. I'm learning about new places and I get to visit these places with my own personal guide. And if I so desire, I can revisit those places as many times as I want all while getting my workout in! I can join different guided challenges if I want, too. I love it."

Whether you want to be able to carry your treadmill around different rooms in your home or just take a lot of road trips, this lightweight option comes with a handle that's perfect for anyone who likes to change up their environment often. Even though it weighs under 100 pounds, it has an LCD screen, durable alloy frame for stability, and full ground display to check your speed and timing when you're not using the handlebars.

Rave Review: "Absolutely AMAZING!!!!!! I moved into a smaller house and had to get rid of my old treadmill. I can't believe I’ve now got one that is just as good and folds away and just slips into any small space. I love everything about it. The design is sleek and ergonomic. The display is great and it's quiet. I'm a massive fan!"

Your home office is likely due for an upgrade, and this treadmill-desk duo is the best way to kill two birds with one stone. Simply use the desk to clock in some steps while on video calls, then fold down the desk to get in a workout after hours.

Rave Review: "I normally don't write reviews but I thought mine would be helpful. I picked this over other treadmills because of the included desk. I really just wanted a small, compact treadmill so I could walk during the day while working and I am really happy with my purchase. The treadmill goes pretty fast and you could probably jog on it if you wanted, although I’m mainly doing fast walking. Overall, I think the bang for your buck here is great. The desk is pretty sturdy even when I’m walking really fast. Overall, I highly recommend this for walking while working. I’ve started getting in over 10k steps during the workday which is life changing!!!!!"

There are many reasons you may want a quiet treadmill. You could have a sleeping baby, partner who's always on work calls, or just want to be able to clearly hear all the drama play out on The Bachelor sans subtitles. Whatever your reasons may be, you'll love that Rhythm Fun's treadmill is made with a special shock-absorbing technology designed to be one of the quietest cardio machines out there.

Rave Review: "I am really loving my Rhythm Fun treadmill. It has everything I wanted and the streamlined design doesn't take up much space. It is even foldable, so it becomes nice and flat when I'm not using it. It's very sturdy and quiet. I run when my roommate is next to me sleeping and he's got no complaints. I love the Bluetooth built-in speaker...man, I love it! It makes running at home very enjoyable. Nice work!"

Because foldable treadmills are designed to be compact, many of them don't offer the range of motion to have an incline feature. That's what makes Sunny Health's compact treadmill so great, especially because it even offers the ability to run at seven miles per hour when it only weighs 74 pounds. It's one of the smaller, more affordable options on this list even though it packs in tons of the great features that more expensive models offer.

Rave Review: "I really love this treadmill. It was very easy to put together. I was able to put it together by myself. It has an incline. If you haven't walked or ran on an incline, it may be difficult to get used to. My son and I both use it and we’re able to run on it. This is a great alternative to going to the gym or going for a walk. It's easy to store and not very bulky."

Decked out with an HD touchscreen that streams both live and on-demand workouts, NordicTrack's treadmill is a great investment for anyone who wants interactive, trainer-led workouts. This treadmill is so smart that the machine will auto-adjust speed an incline based upon your personal fitness goals. Then, track and celebrate all your progress in the app that monitors all your workouts.

Yes, this one's not exactly cheap, but it has over 20,000 five-star reviews and is one of Amazon's bestselling cardio machines.

Rave Review: "Took about one and a half hours to assemble with two people. It works great on the manual setting, but I LOVE using the iFit app on my smart phone. It is worth it to me. It synced seamlessly and it auto-adjusts the speed and incline with the trainer (you can also manually adjust and then switch back to trainer-led workouts at any time). All the trainers I've used so far have been really engaging, explaining the purpose of each part of the run, keeping motivation high, describing the landscape/history of the area we are running/walking through, and there is even music in the background. I absolutely look forward to my runs!!!! The quality is FANTASTIC!! I was worried because when I first turned it on, speed 1 was not totally smooth, but go up even to 1.5 or 2 and it's very smooth. 10/10 recommend. For the price, you can't beat it!"

While a lot of treadmills have a weight capacity of 250, Sunny Health's heavy-duty treadmill can hold up to 350 pounds. And even though it's super compact, it has cupholders, a wide enough table to hold a laptop, and wheels that make it easy to move.

Rave Review: "It's big, heavy, and solid. I weigh almost 200 pounds and I feel like a could run and jump on this thing with no issues. It has the highest weight capacity for the price. There's no incline function but there is a slight incline built into it. I believe having no incline function contributes to the durability and weight capacity of this machine. I researched a lot of treadmills and this was the best bang for the buck."

I mean, who says your workout can't feel like a party? Goplus' sleek-looking treadmill has a table that's fully lined with speakers for incredible sound quality. Use the bluetooth function to connect it to your fave playlist, podcast, or even television show. Just dim the lights and watch your at-home gym (or living room) transform into one of those fancy boutique studios.

You can even move the built-in table down to use it as an under-desk treadmill while working.

Rave Review: "I just received mine today and I absolutely love it! I read all the reviews before I purchased it so I knew exactly what I was buying. There were no surprises except the shipping. Shipping was really fast! This treadmill is super easy to assemble. In my opinion, it runs really quietly. Just make sure you put silicone lubricant on before you use it. It comes with two small bottles. I put almost half of one of the bottles on. I didn't think I would use the Bluetooth speaker because I have earbuds, but I love it. The sound quality is really good. So far, I'm very happy with my purchase."

A great option for anyone looking to start building their at-home gym or re-vamp it, Ksports' treadmill bundle is a great value for what it offers at $500 (and you can frequently catch it on sale, too). It comes with an exercise mat and weights, but the machine itself is outfitted with bars to do sit-ups and other weight-lifting workouts.

Rave Review: "WOW. I was pleasantly surprised when this arrived a week earlier than I expected it to. It was easy to assemble (there were NO missing parts) and worked perfectly from the start. The fact that it folds up allowed me to keep it out between uses, but it was not in the way of my other furniture. The sit-up bar and small dumbbells are a nice plus. The best part is that the price was very reasonable for all the features it has."
