Cheapest Treadmills under $700

Okay so you are on a budget and  just want the cheapest treadmills for basic home workouts like walking and light jogging. If you are seriously considering low budget treadmills then you will compromise on many multiple treadmill programs, length of warranty, low motor horsepower, and expect to walk or at most jog, not run just to name a few.  But if you just need to do regular low intensity workouts then why spend too much? The choice is always yours and it is a good idea to write down a list of workout needs from your new machine. Once you have your list of wants purchasing a suitable machine should not be a problem.

You can pick up some really cheap treadmills for less than $700. Here are some of the best picks.

Merit Fitness 725T

For less than $400 you are getting real value for money with the 725T by Merit Fitness. The Merit Fitness 725T is manufactured by Johnson Health Tech, the largest manufacturers of fitness equipment in the world. With a 725T you are getting 1.25h.p. (horsepower) motor, with a speed range between 1-10 m.p.h and an elevation between 0-10%. The maximum weight capacity is 250lbs with a good warranty of Lifetime on the frame, 2 years on the motor, 90 days on parts and labor.

The maximum weight the treadmill can take is 250lbs or 113kg. This is not bad considering most people will fit into this category. One of the negative aspects of the Merit 725T is the tread belt is not as wide as you would expect. The belt is not that long either. The treadmill in our opinion does make a little more noise when impact more from jogging and light running, but if you purchase a floor mat and place it underneath, this will resolve the problem.

The 725T is very straight forward to assemble which should take you less than an hour. For less than $400 including shipping, this is one of the quality cheapest treadmills around. If you are on a budget this fitness machine is worth looking into.

Horizon Evolve SG Compact Treadmill

If you are not keen on spending more than $600 then maybe you should consider the Horizon Evolve treadmill. First off you will find the treadmill requires no assembly when you purchase it. It is compact and pre-assembled, so all you need to do is turn it on.

Since it is foldable, this is an excellent choice for those with limited storage space. This selection of cheapest treadmills is suitable for small space apartments and homes where you need to compromise for space. There is no need to assemble the treadmill upon delivery. The main thing to note about this treadmill is that it is only suitable for walking due to it’s 1.5 h.p. motor and maximum speed of 6 m.p.h. There’s no incline functionality and the maximum weight it can take is only 250lbs, but as an entry level treadmill at a bargain price the Horizon Evolve does what it says on the box.

Some of the positive features of the Horizon Evolve is the good warranty, and the folding capability. The motor is okay and pretty much standard. Slightly on the negative side is the reading of statistics of a particular workout. The tread belt needs to be moving for this to be displayed. If it stops then it resets back to a new workout.

With a maximum speed of 6mph and a compact sleek design this is one of the highly recommended cheapest treadmills  available to purchase.

Finally, when choosing a treadmill on a budget be sure to check out various reviews. There are some bargains that will literally ‘do the job’ so you don’t have to break the bank.
