Don’t Wait Until Black Friday to Score a Deal on a Walking Pad

Black Friday isn’t officially here until November 27, but plenty of early deals are already live. Several walking pads are currently marked down, and with winter coming, right now is the ideal time to make use of the discount. I, for one, have already started prepping my hibernation cave by stocking happy lights, arts and crafts, and a brand-new walking pad.

By the time Black Friday arrives, stepping outside might feel like taking a cold plunge. At that point, you’ll wish you had snagged a walking pad sooner to help you reach your step count goals without risking frostbite. Below, get a curated list of walking pad treadmills I have tested and vetted that are on sale.

The Urevo CyberPad is my favorite walking pad , and it’s on sale for $390 ($110 off) . I’m confident in the product’s durability, mainly due to its sturdy-feeling build and comfortable belt. It offers a 14-percent incline, which is one of the highest available in walking pads, and the speed tops out at 4 mph. Unfortunately, the incline capability makes the machine difficult to store under furniture. It weighs about 71 pounds, so moving it around isn’t fun, but the wheels help. You can control the CyberPad with its remote control and companion app . You can also view your real-time metrics on the machine’s display.

The Urevo Strol 2S Pro is also on sale for $210 off . This 2-in-1 doubles as a treadmill with adjustable handrails, a display, and an attachable tablet holder. It was simple to set up, complete with a remote control and intuitive companion app. It feels super stable underfoot, even at top speed and incline level (7.6 mph and 9 percent). That top speed likely isn’t fast enough if you’re looking to sprint, but it’s plenty for a good workout. The machine is unobtrusive, has a quiet motor, and the 43-inch track is compact enough to place under your desk. Overall, it’s a sturdy walking pad treadmill that offers great value and range.

The WalkingPad C2 Foldable Walking Treadmill ’s track is 32.5 inches when folded (and unfurls to 57 inches), making it a great option for storage in small spaces. It weighs 62 pounds, which isn’t light, but it makes for a sturdier running deck and a (hopefully) longer lifespan. You can adjust the speed via the remote control or companion app. Reviewer Kristin Canning found the app itself to be a little wonky. For example, if you don’t start a workout within the app, your data won’t sync. The app also saves each walking session separately, so if you take a break, you start from zero again. The good news is you don’t need to use the app in order to enjoy the walking pad.

Canning also didn’t like that when you first start using the machine, you have to walk at slower speeds before you can unlock the upper end of the range. This might appeal to folks who enjoy gamifying their workouts, though. The app also offers workout programs, which auto-adjust the speed to your pace via sensors under the belt.

Here are some more early Black Friday discounts on walking pads and treadmills I’ve tested and recommend.
