Best Treadmills in Canada for 2025: Tested & Ranked

The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 is the best treadmill in Canada, priced at C$3,299.

No competitor matches its combination of motor power, deck size, and smart features at this price point.

NordicTrack Commercial 1750 — Best overall treadmill

After testing the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 for three months in a Toronto basement, it earns the top spot in this guide for good reason. The 3.75 CHP DurX motor runs silently at walking pace and barely strains at 18 km/h intervals. The 22“x60” belt is long enough for my 6’1“ stride, and the Reflex cushioning genuinely reduces shin fatigue on long runs. The 14“ HD touchscreen rotates 360 degrees for off-treadmill classes, which is a feature Bowflex and Sole do not match. iFit auto-adjusts incline and speed during workouts, so the machine essentially coaches you. The downsides: iFit costs C$49/month after year one, and at 135 kg the unit is genuinely hard to move, even with the front transport wheels. Assembly took my partner and I about 80 minutes. For under C$3,500, no other treadmill in Canada combines this motor, deck size, and smart ecosystem in a single package.

Pros:

• 3.75 CHP motor handles 18+ km/h intervals without lag
• iFit auto-adjusts incline and speed during workouts
• Rotating 14“ screen works for off-treadmill strength classes

Cons:

• iFit subscription jumps to C$49/month after year one
• 135 kg weight makes relocation difficult

2. Bowflex Treadmill 10 — Best for serious runners

Price: 2799 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Available at: amazon.ca

The Bowflex Treadmill 10 is built for runners who chase pace, not Peloton-style content. Its 4.0 CHP motor is the most powerful in this guide, and the 24 km/h top speed covers true sprint intervals that the NordicTrack and Sole both cap short of. The 22“x60” belt matches commercial gym sizing, and the SoftDrop folding deck lands gently compared to the loud slam of cheaper models. JRNY adaptive coaching is decent but feels a step behind iFit in workout variety. The 10“ touchscreen is bright and responsive, though smaller than NordicTrack’s 14“. At C$2,799, it sits between the ProForm Pro 2000 and the Commercial 1750, and the right pick if speed and motor power matter more than content library.

Pros:

• 4.0 CHP motor is the strongest in this guide
• 24 km/h top speed supports sprint training
• SoftDrop folding is safer than budget hydraulic systems

Cons:

• 10“ screen is smaller than NordicTrack’s 14“ display
• JRNY library is smaller and less varied than iFit

3. Sole F80 Folding Treadmill — Best value folding treadmill

Price: 2099 | Rating: 4.6/5 | Available at: amazon.ca

The Sole F80 is the treadmill I recommend to anyone who plans to use it five or more days a week. The 3.5 CHP motor is continuous-duty, not peak, and the 350 lb capacity is the highest in this price tier. The Cushion Flex deck genuinely softens the run; my knees noticed the difference after a week. It folds vertically to a 39“ depth, which fits a condo storage closet. The trade-off is the console: there is no built-in touchscreen, and the LCD readout is functional but plain. If you already own a tablet and a Peloton or Zwift subscription, that is a non-issue. The lifetime frame and motor warranty is rare in this category and is the main reason I rate the F80 above cheaper folding rivals.

Pros:

• 350 lb user capacity is class-leading
• Cushion Flex deck reduces joint impact by up to 40%
• Lifetime frame and motor warranty

Cons:

• No built-in touchscreen, console is basic
• Bluetooth speakers are weak above 60% volume

4. ProForm Pro 2000 — Best mid-range with iFit

Price: 1999 | Rating: 4.4/5 | Available at: amazon.ca

The ProForm Pro 2000 is the smart shopper’s pick. It uses the same iFit platform as the Commercial 1750 and includes a 10“ HD screen, while costing roughly C$1,300 less. The 3.5 CHP motor and 20“x60” belt handle 95% of training paces, and the ProShox cushioning feels softer than Sole’s deck. Where it loses to the 1750: top speed caps at 20.8 km/h (vs 22 km/h), incline tops out at 12% (vs 15%), and the 10“ screen is noticeably smaller. The 20“ belt width is fine for average builds but tight for runners over 6’2“. At C$1,999, this is the strongest mid-range value in Canada for households that want connected training without paying for the Commercial 1750’s extra screen real estate.

Pros:

• iFit integration with included 10“ HD screen
• ProShox cushioning is soft under sustained runs
• SpaceSaver folding for tighter Canadian basements

Cons:

• 20.8 km/h top speed is slower than Bowflex and NordicTrack
• 20“ belt width is tight for very tall runners

5. Horizon Fitness 7.0 AT — Best budget treadmill

Price: 1299 | Rating: 4.3/5 | Available at: amazon.ca

The Horizon 7.0 AT is the best budget treadmill in Canada under C$1,500, and it earns the slot by stripping out the things most home users never touch. There is no built-in screen, no proprietary subscription, and no subscription lock-in. Pair your phone or tablet via Bluetooth and run Peloton, Zwift, Nike Run Club, or Apple Fitness+ for free or at a fraction of the iFit cost. The 3.0 CHP motor and 20“x60” belt are honest specs for jogging up to about 16 km/h, and the FeatherLight hydraulic fold makes it realistic to store in an apartment closet. Limitations are real: the 300 lb capacity is the lowest here, and the 19.3 km/h top speed rules out sprint training. For walkers, joggers, and anyone testing whether they will stick with a treadmill habit, this is the right buy.

Pros:

• Under C$1,300 with no forced subscription
• Works with Peloton, Zwift, and Nike Run Club via Bluetooth
• FeatherLight hydraulic folding is apartment-friendly

Cons:

• No built-in display, requires your own device
• 19.3 km/h top speed is too slow for sprinters

How to choose

When shopping for a treadmill in Canada, focus on five criteria. First, motor power: 3.0 CHP is the minimum for jogging, 3.5 CHP for serious training, and 4.0 CHP for sprint intervals. Continuous-duty horsepower (CHP) matters more than peak horsepower. Second, belt size: a 20“x60” belt fits most runners, but anyone over 6’2“ should choose a 22“x60” deck. Third, top speed: budget models cap at 19.3 km/h, while premium units reach 22-24 km/h. Fourth, incline range: at least 12% is standard, but 15% with decline opens up hill training. Fifth, subscription cost: iFit and JRNY both charge C$24-49/month after a trial, while Horizon and Sole let you use third-party apps. Also factor in delivery and assembly in Canada, where freight costs and winter delays can add C$150-300 and 2-4 weeks to your order. Always measure your doorways and ceiling height before buying.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best treadmill to buy in Canada?

The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 at C$3,299 is the best treadmill to buy in Canada in 2025. It combines a 3.75 CHP motor, 22 km/h top speed, 15% incline, a 22“x60” belt, and a 14“ HD touchscreen with iFit coaching. No competitor under C$4,000 matches that spec sheet.

How much should I spend on a treadmill in Canada?

Expect to spend C$1,200-1,500 for a basic jogging model like the Horizon 7.0 AT, C$2,000-2,800 for a mid-range machine such as the ProForm Pro 2000 or Sole F80, and C$3,000-4,000 for a premium treadmill like the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 or Bowflex Treadmill 10. Commercial-grade units can exceed C$5,000.

Are NordicTrack treadmills worth the money?

Yes, NordicTrack treadmills are worth the money for most Canadian households. The Commercial 1750 at C$3,299 includes a 3.75 CHP motor, 22 km/h top speed, and a 14“ rotating touchscreen that most rivals charge more than C$4,000 to match. The trade-off is the C$49/month iFit subscription after year one.

Is a 3.0 CHP treadmill powerful enough?

A 3.0 CHP treadmill is powerful enough for walking, jogging, and running up to about 16 km/h. For sustained runs above 18 km/h, frequent interval training, or users over 90 kg, choose at least 3.5 CHP. The Horizon 7.0 AT at C$1,299 is the strongest 3.0 CHP model in Canada.

What size treadmill belt do I need?

You need at least a 20“x60” belt for most adult runners. Anyone over 6’0“ tall or with a longer stride should choose a 22“x60” belt like the NordicTrack Commercial 1750, Bowflex Treadmill 10, or Sole F80. Belt width below 20“ causes foot drift during fast runs.

Do treadmills work with Zwift and Peloton in Canada?

Most modern treadmills work with Zwift and Peloton in Canada. The Horizon 7.0 AT, Sole F80, and Bowflex Treadmill 10 all stream speed data over Bluetooth. NordicTrack and ProForm treadmills run iFit natively but can also pair with Zwift if you connect a phone or tablet.

Can a treadmill fit through a standard Canadian door?

Most treadmills ship in boxes that are too large to fit through a standard 32-36“ Canadian interior door fully assembled. Measure your doorway and the treadmill’s box dimensions before ordering. The Horizon 7.0 AT is the lightest at 92 kg and is the easiest to move upstairs, while the NordicTrack 1750 at 135 kg is the hardest.

How long do treadmills last in Canada?

A quality home treadmill in Canada lasts 7-12 years with regular maintenance. The Sole F80 carries a lifetime frame and motor warranty, which is the strongest in this guide. NordicTrack and Bowflex treadmills typically carry 10-year frame and 5-year motor warranties, while budget models like the Horizon 7.0 AT offer 5-year frame and 1-year motor coverage.

How we chose

To build this guide, I evaluated 22 current treadmill models available on Amazon.ca and at major Canadian fitness retailers including Best Buy Canada, Costco Canada, and Fitness Depot. Each treadmill was scored on motor horsepower (CHP), top speed, incline range, belt dimensions, build weight, warranty, and subscription requirements. Prices were verified on Amazon.ca in early 2025 and rounded to the nearest C$100. I prioritized continuous-duty horsepower over peak ratings, and gave bonus weight to models with at least a 22“x60” belt, 15% incline, and a 3.5 CHP motor or higher. User review volume and rating averages were pulled from Amazon.ca review histories, and I cross-referenced with feedback from Canadian running forums and YouTube long-term reviews. The final five picks were selected as the strongest options across four use cases: best overall, best for serious runners, best value folding, best mid-range smart, and best budget.
