“This treadmill really helped me bring fitness back into my daily routine.”
Many are turning to at-home treadmills or walking pads to save money on gym memberships or to get their steps in while working from home. On Amazon, there’s one treadmill that has been discounted by 35% for those with Prime – and shoppers say it’s like “having a mini gym at home”.
The Citysports Treadmill is currently available for £129.19, down from £199.99, with Prime, and it is an Amazon’s Choice product. The brand says it features a 4% manual incline, simulating ‘a more realistic climbing scenario’ that can increase users’ calorie burn.
It is equipped with a five-layer anti-slip and durable diamond running belt, built-in silicone shock absorbers, and soft rubber mats, providing ‘effective and safe cushioning for your knees and muscles’. Plus, it has a foldable design, meaning it can be stored away or used as an under-desk treadmill.

It offers a speed range of 1-12km/h, and users can adjust the speed according to their workout needs. It also includes a built-in cooling system and has an ‘ultra-quiet operation’, making it ideal for home and office use.

Shoppers have left positive reviews for the Citysports Treadmill on Amazon, with an average overall rating of 4.3 out of five. One said: “This treadmill is like having a mini gym at home without the hassle and space demands of a full set-up.
“With a speed range up to 12km/h and a manual 4% incline, it’s a versatile piece of kit. The incline feels as though you’re climbing that hill from last summer, albeit less sweaty and more convenient.”
A second said as part of a longer review: “One of the best parts is how quiet it is – I can even use it while my child is sleeping without any problem. This treadmill really helped me bring fitness back into my daily routine.”
While a third wrote: “Perfect for those who need a machine that helps them keep up with their walking exercise in all weathers. So easy to set up and use, and a perfect size for small spaces. I love mine.”
Others deducted stars, such as this person who said: “It’s perfect for what I wanted. It’s too big to go under my sofa – some people must have huge sofa legs for it to fit under. I’ve tucked it away in the corner of the room.
“Cable isn’t so long, so it needs to be quite close to a socket. Everything works as intended.” Another said: “The treadmill is very heavy to lift. But otherwise it is very good.”
