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

Good product for a tight space
This was easy to assemble. The front piece folds down over the tread, so it is not so obvious in a room. Mine is in an office so the fold down aspect adds to sight visibility in the room. . The speed controls are easy to use and responsive.. The only change I would make is I should have purchased a treadmill with an incline option. I can’t run on a treadmill, so the incline option would have provided greater exercise options No criticism the manufacture, just some tin to consider when purchasing a treadmill

Second treadmill I’ve tried. Love this one
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.

You get what you pay for
Very dissapointed in this item and also with the company. I was very excited to get this at first because I am an avid walker and needed something I could use at home during the winter and covid etc. This seemed like the ideal solution. After setting it up ( wasn’t difficult set up but the enclosed instructions are severely lacking ) my first dilemma was where to place it because the chord is very short and it must be plugged directly into a wall outlet..it also comes with a remote but I mine didn’t work so I’ve never had the luxury of using it.At first I thought this thing was great..but after a few uses it started making a high pitched sound. I contacted the company asking them how I could fix this. They were no help at all. They offered zero technical assistance and just offered me partial refund.. not the solution I was looking for. I decided to look up online info about treadmills in general.. i did the belt maintenence and adjusted the belt. Then it began making a rattling sound. Again I contact the company asking them to help me diagnose. Again they just offerd a refund amount and no actual assistance.Since the noise was comming from the part in the front with the motor and belts etc I thiught let me just take a look under there to see what’s going on. Most treadmills need routine vaccumimg to clean out accumulated dust and hair etc . Well, this was easier said than done. When I attempted to unscrew the bottom screws to release the cover I was only able to lift up the cover and inch or so one side. One end would not release at all..there was a screw that kept stripping and could not be removed. I managed to vaccume as best I could but I really couldn’t see everything in there.Flipped the treadmill back upright and turned it on. Tbe rattling was gone but now its making another sickly sound abd I honestly can’t figure what more I can do without literally breaking off the plastic housing to see what’s going on.If a company is going to sell a piece of crap atleast make it possible for pple to repair it themselves since its too heavy to ship back for repair and the company doesn’t even offer that option.I am not a person who is generally hard on equipment and I take regular maintenence seriously so it’s really annoying that this treadmill has so many issues. Not a very well thought out product. ..Update:It periodic makes squeaking sounds when I step on it so I have to periodically put some lava soap under the belt to keep it running quietly.I can deal with the small maintenance tasks like the soap and adjusting the walking belt and applying Lube periodically. Something new has happened now though where it is randomly making sounds through the speaker. Different sounds each time like a knocking sound or Chimes or even music. This is never happened before and I do not use the remote with this because it has never worked.I’m beginning to think that this treadmill is possessed…Update: I came to realize that the speaker is connected to Bluetooth and somehow was picking up signals from my neighbors. That’s what was accounting for the random noises. I literally had to go inside the unit and disconnect the speaker from the circuit board and remove the speaker in order to get the sounds to stop.

Great product. Does what it is supposed to. Easy assembly (though the instructions are terrible).A little tough to maneuver on my own but with help, it would be fine. Check the belt when putting it together. It is supposed to come lubricated but mine wasn’t. I didn’t mind though because it forced me to learn how to do it. It has some features that other don’t like a slow stop rather than just turning off quickly. It arrived before the expected delivery date which was a great surprise, particularly during the holiday season. I’d recommend this for anyone wanting to stay active, particularly in cold winter months.

excellent quality, well built. it is convertable from walking pad to a standard treadmill, where you can easily fold down, and also perfect for storage. bluetooth function is a plus. really worth the price

I use this treadmill mostly for walking to get my steps in – usually on speed 4.5. The belt runs smoother when you are going quicker on it, I noticed that it lags slightly when first starting up at speed 1-2, but for the purposes that I am using it for it is great. I didn’t expect a super high quality treadmill for $600, but so far so good. Set up was extremely easy for me. All I had to do was take the base out of the box in the corner that I was going to have the treadmill in, unlock one hinge to raise the vertical bar, and then screw in the two arms. This was very simple to do even if you are not handy. Shipping took a little bit longer than I had hoped, but that is to be expected right now with COVID-19. Overall, I am super happy with it so far.
