Often featuring high powered motors and larger decks, they are ideal for longer or faster runs, and often boast a higher maximum weight capacity too. More stable than a folding treadmill, a non-folding treadmill is built to withstand more intense usage. What’s more, folding treadmills are much easy to clean around and underneath than other alternatives.
