The smart solution for working out at home—without compromise

Home workouts are more popular than ever. More and more people are discovering the convenience of having a treadmill at home—no travel time, no gym membership, and the freedom to train whenever it suits you. But what if you’re short on space? A compact treadmill like SportsHero’s is the ideal solution.

In this article, we explain why a compact treadmill is not only convenient but also surprisingly powerful. We also show why models like the SportsHero RunningPad Pro and WALKR Pro are among the smartest choices for everyday use.

  1. Compact size, big convenience

A compact treadmill takes up far less space than a traditional one. The RunningPad Pro and WALKR Pro are built for modern homes:

  • Foldable design: slide them under the bed or sofa after use.

  • Lightweight & wheeled: integrated casters make moving effortless.

  • Quiet operation: ideal for apartments or home offices.

Studio or small office— a compact treadmill fits virtually anywhere.

  1. Healthy movement while you work or unwind

“Sitting is the new smoking,” experts say. And the Dutch rank among the EU’s top sitters—a dubious honor. A home treadmill helps you move more even on busy days—while working, watching TV, or reading.

  • During WFH, stroll comfortably on the WALKR Pro at up to 6 km/h—perfect for light activity at your desk.

  • Want a tougher session? The RunningPad Pro reaches 12 km/h with a realistic road feel—great for brisk walks, jogging, and running.

You blend productivity and health without carving out extra time.

  1. Smart features for modern athletes

Today’s compact treadmills are far more than step machines. Both WALKR Pro and RunningPad Pro feature automatic incline (up to 13%) to make workouts more challenging and burn more calories.
Both include an LED display for distance, time, speed, and calories.

  1. Design you’ll want on show

A treadmill doesn’t have to be an eyesore. SportsHero’s compact models feature a sleek, minimalist design with a premium matte-black finish that fits effortlessly into living rooms and stylish home offices.

  1. A durable investment in your health

A compact treadmill isn’t a gadget—it’s an investment in your health. 20–30 minutes of daily walking lowers stress, improves fitness, and boosts energy. And because you can always train, you maximize your purchase.
