Whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or training for a marathon, having a home treadmill is incredibly convenient. However, the average size of a treadmill is not so convenient, which is why something like this foldable treadmill that’s on sale is perfect for home setups.
The bestselling Merach Folding Treadmill is normally $500, but thanks to a Walmart Flash Deal, it's now $279, and it’s sitting in over a hundred carts at the time of writing. The 15% incline option is out of stock, so it's worth scooping up the 6% incline model while it's still around.

This foldable treadmill is purpose-built for the home, coming with three adjustable incline options (0%, 3%, and 6%) and a maximum speed of 7.5 miles per hour. It also has a five-layer running belt, six silicone shock absorbers to protect your joints, and even two cup holders. The small form factor is really where this treadmill shines, coming in at just under 5flashsquare feet when you fold it up, and able to be folded in seconds. Adding to the features, you can use the LED screen to track your workouts and join in on some of the global challenges to gameify your workout, or do a guided one with a virtual trainer. You can also use the companion smartphone app to access your stats, along with the Scenic Routes feature that displays some fun backdrops to spice up your run.

Plus, it's so quiet that I can work out while my kids are sleeping."s,” Another called it a “Solid choice for everyday running," adding that they've "been running on this every morning before work. It's smooth, supports my weight easily (I'm 240 lbs), and feels really secure.” A third shopper called it a "Great treadmill for the price."
The compact size makes this an excellent pick for smaller spaces, which has been confirmed by other shoppers. “The size is perfect for my small apartment, and I can fold it up and store it away in seconds. I also appreciate the adjustable incline for variety,” A second shopper wrote, “This treadmill fits perfectly in my home gym. It's easy to fold and store when I'm done.”
Compact and ready for training, the Merach Folding Treadmill is on sale now for $279. Considering that the 15% incline option is already out of stock (and that this is a flash deal), it’s safe to say that these are going fast, and you may want to lock one down before stock is out or the deal ends.
