WalkingPad Advantage

180° Double-Folding Design

Our patented Double-Fold technology is a true game-changer. By folding the entire running deck in half, not just the handles, we save up to 90% more floor space than traditional ‘folding’ treadmills. This is how you truly reclaim your room.

Ready to Go, Straight from the Box

Your fitness journey should start with excitement, not a box of tools and a confusing manual. That's why every WalkingPad arrives at your door fully assembled. Simply unbox, unfold, and you're ready to go in minutes. No fuss, no frustration.

Whisper-Quiet Performance

Our powerful brushless motors are engineered for a smooth, consistent, and surprisingly quiet workout. Whether you're walking during a conference call or running early in the morning, you can be confident you won't disturb your family or your neighbours.

Smart, Connected Fitness

Track every step, control your machine, and unlock guided workouts with the intuitive WalkingPad app. We sync with major health platforms like Apple Health and Google Fit, so all your fitness data is seamlessly integrated into your digital life.

Recognised for Innovation. Celebrated for Design.

What Our Community Says

Comparison FAQs

1. What's the main difference between a Walking Pad and a Treadmill?

A Walking Pad is designed for low-to-moderate speed walking (up to 6 km/h) and is perfect for use under a standing desk or for daily steps. It's ultra-slim and folds flat to store under furniture. Our Treadmill series is built for performance, supporting high-speed running and HIIT workouts (up to 12 km/h), and features a robust frame with handrails for safety.

2. How is the 'Double-Fold' on your treadmills different from other "folding" treadmills?

Most "folding" treadmills only fold the console down, leaving the large, bulky running deck on the floor. Our patented Double-Fold technology folds the entire running deck in half first, then folds the console down. This results in a much smaller, vertical storage footprint, saving up to 90% more floor space.

3. Is a Walking Pad quiet enough to use while I'm on a work call?

Absolutely. Our Walking Pad series uses a high-quality brushless motor specifically engineered for whisper-quiet operation. While not completely silent, the noise level is very low and is generally not disruptive, making it ideal for use during calls and in a shared home or office environment.

4. Which walking pad model is best for storing under a low sofa or bed?

For the absolute lowest profile, our Z1 and C2 Walking Pad is an excellent choice. We recommend measuring the clearance under your furniture first and comparing it to the 'Folded Dimensions' in our comparison chart to ensure a perfect fit.

5. I only jog occasionally. Do I really need a full Treadmill?

If your primary activity is walking and light, occasional jogging, a high-end Walking Pad (like the A1 Pro) might be sufficient. However, if you want the stability of a handrail for safety during your jogs or think you might want to progress to faster running in the future, our Treadmill series is the better long-term investment.

6. Can I control the machine without the remote? What happens if I lose it?

Yes, you have two great options to ensure you never miss a workout:

  • The official WalkingPad App on your smartphone can function as a full-featured remote control. We recommend downloading it as soon as you get your machine, so you always have an instant backup right in your pocket.
  • If you've lost your remote for good or would simply like a spare, you can easily purchase a new, genuine remote control directly from the Accessories section of our online store.

This way, you have both an instant fix and a long-term replacement option, so you're always in control.

7. How heavy are the machines to move around for daily storage?

While the machines are built to be solid and stable, they are designed for easy portability. Each model is equipped with smooth-gliding transport wheels. Once folded, you simply tilt and roll the machine to its storage spot, similar to moving a small suitcase. You generally do not need to lift the full weight of the machine.

8. Do all models connect to the same app and sync with Apple Health?

Yes, all our current smart models connect to the official WalkingPad App to track your progress. The app features data synchronisation with major health platforms like Apple Health and Google Fit, allowing you to keep all your fitness data in one place.
