There are only three things certain in life: death, taxes, and the fact that the good people of the UK prefer folding treadmills over full-sized running machines. I suppose it’s down to the tiny homes we live in, which naturally rules out monster home-gym equipment.

Buying folding treadmills on Black Friday: what to look out for
Buying a folding treadmill on Black Friday can be a smart move, but it’s worth knowing what separates a good deal from a regret purchase.
Start with the basics: motor power, running deck size and top speed. A stronger motor delivers smoother performance, especially if you plan to run rather than just walk, while a wider, longer deck gives you more confidence at higher speeds.

Some treadmills fold manually, others use assisted lift systems that make storage much easier, especially in smaller UK homes. Check the footprint both folded and unfolded to make sure it genuinely fits your space.
Black Friday listings often emphasise “max incline” and “number of programmes”, but the more practical metric is overall stability. Heavier treadmills tend to feel more secure, even if they take up slightly more room.
Also pay attention to warranty length, after-sales support and delivery setup. Some retailers offer room-of-choice delivery or assembly, which can save serious hassle. Watch out for price promises: if a retailer refunds the difference if the price drops again, you can buy early in the sale without worrying you mistimed it.
