Amazon is offering huge savings on an exercise appliance that has been praised as a "brilliant" way to stay fit in the comfort of your own home throughout the darkest, coldest and wettest months of the year. The Sperax Walking Pad Treadmill has seen its price slashed from £269.99 down to £179.
99 in a limited time deal - but even better, you can use the "apply voucher" option to get an extra £40 off until November 15 while stocks last, meaning you can snap it up for just £139.99. This walking pad has adjustable speed settings of 1 to 6 km/h (around 0.
6 to 3.7mph), making it easy to get your steps in without having to brave the winter weather. Measuring just 12cm tall and equipped with front wheels, the walking pad is easy to move around and store away without taking up space, making it ideal for households who don't have the room to spare for large exercise equipment.
And with an average rating of 4.4 out of five stars based on more than 1,700 reviews, it has been branded a "game changer" by Amazon shoppers too. One person praised in a five-star review: "My partner and I decided we needed to walk more to increase our fitness levels, but it's not always easy to get our target steps in per day, especially if it's raining when we come home from work.
The thought of going out and walking in the cold and rain in the winter just destroys and enthusiasm I may have! "The walking pad is excellent because it stores conveniently under our settee and, when we need it, it's ready in seconds. The remote control is great to set our workout periods and to alter the speed when walking if we need to. It has definitely made us more exercise conscious and, because it's so handy, we often get on and do 20 minutes whilst watching the TV!" Another shopper said: "This treadmill is fantastic for several reasons, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay active at home.
One of the standout features is its compact design. The treadmill fits perfectly under my sofa, making storage incredibly convenient. "The treadmill is also incredibly user-friendly.
Setting it up was a breeze, and it operates very smoothly. I love that I can use it while watching TV. It makes getting my daily steps in so much easier and more enjoyable.
This has been a game changer for me in terms of maintaining an active lifestyle, especially on days when the weather isn't great for outdoor activities." And a third reviewer raved: "Bought this treadmill to turn my home office into a gym, and I'm loving it! This walking pad fits right under my desk, so now I'm walking while pretending to work - it's like a fitness cheat code. If you're looking to sneak in some steps while binge-watching or working, this walking pad will make you feel like a productivity hero!" Overall, 85% of Amazon customers awarded the walking pad either four or the full five stars.
However, a small amount of reviewers complained theirs arrived broken or damaged, while a few others said they wished it came with a handle for better balance. Amazon's offer beats walking pad prices on the high street, with the Opti Walking Folding Treadmill at Argos currently on sale for £239 and the New Image Fitt Treadmill and Walking Pad at Currys priced at £349, although both of these options have handles so they are safe to run on as well as walk. But there are cheaper deals available on Amazon for walking pads with fewer reviews, including the CitySports Walking Pad for £137.
99 down from £177.99 - or you can take your exercise to the next level with the Freepi Walking Pad with Incline for £188.99, down from £279.
99 in a limited time deal. If you want to use the walking pad while working from home, you can complete the set up with some Amazon deals on adjustable standing desks, including the Sanodesk Adjustable Desk for £72.99 reduced from £109, the ErGear Standing Desk for £110.
49 reduced from £149.99, and the Flexispot Electric Desk for £109.99 reduced from £139.
