Short summary: If your flat is compact, you can still enjoy a practical treadmill. This guide covers space-saving options, quiet motors, foldability, and smart features — with Fuji Health links for setup, delivery, and purchase.
How to choose a treadmill for a small UK flat (5-point checklist)
- Measure first: Record the treadmill’s footprint and folded height. Most interior doors are 72–76 cm wide — check your route before buying.
- Deck length: Walk/jog: 100–130 cm. Running: 130 cm or more.
- Noise control: Prioritise low-dB DC motors and cushioned decks. Use a mat to reduce vibration transfer to floors below.
- Fold & move: Choose hydraulic or quick-fold systems with transport wheels for easy storage in compact flats.
- Smart features & warranty: Bluetooth or app control adds convenience. Always confirm UK warranty and delivery coverage.
