Goplus 2 in 1 Folding Treadmill review

REVIEW – It now feels like forever since the COVID-19 outbreak and just as long since I have been spending the majority of my time indoors. Prior to the pandemic, I was walking at least 10 miles weekly and had lost about 35 pounds making me trim and fit. However, sitting at my desk for hours over the past few months while working from home, has caused me to slowly but surely regain the weight. While I do have a large treadmill in my home, it is not near my home office and therefore not convenient for me to use during the day. I would need a smaller and somewhat portable version that I can keep near to my desk. Enter the Goplus 2-in-1 Folding Treadmill.

The Goplus 2 in 1 Folding Treadmill with Dual Display is a 2.25HP Under Desk Electric Pad Treadmill, featuring a Bluetooth Speaker and a Remote Control that can be used as a walking or jogging machine for use at home or in the office. The treadmill does not require much assembly.

Once assembled the treadmill has optional arms, a cellphone holder, and is foldable albeit that if it needs to be stored flat like under a bed, the arms cannot be attached. The treadmill can be used with the riser done and without the arms attached.

There is a release/lock lever on the right side that allows you to raise or lower the riser.

The cellphone holder attaches to the top of the riser.

On each side of the riser, there is a rubber cover over the holes for the bolts that are used to attach the arms.

In the center underneath the top crossbar of the riser, there is a magnetic surface that is used to attach the Safety Key.

On the top front of the base of the treadmill, there is a LED display and a speaker. The display shows, time, distance, speed, and calories. The treadmill is controlled by a small remote with 3 buttons for power, +, and – functions.

Underneath the treadmill, there are 4 leveling feet.

In this video, I have my phone connected via Bluetooth to the treadmill and I am listening to music through the treadmill speaker:

The idea of having a portable treadmill next to my home office is very appealing since it allows me an additional option to exercise when on a conference call, etc. However, this treadmill is not as light as I anticipated nor as easy to maneuver. In addition, it is not quiet by any means and this version works solely via that remote control so it that gets lost or becomes inoperable, then I likely have a large paperweight.
