Construction
You can buy this treadmill if you weigh up to 225 lbs, as its sturdy steel frame supports a maximum of 265 lbs. Always keep a gap of 35–40 lbs between your body and the treadmill’s maximum weight capacity for its long life. Other comparable treadmills only support a maximum user weight of 220 pounds.
The treadmill is very soft on your knees, hips, and other joints due to the shock-absorbing system with layers like compression and high-strength support. It also provides you with effective insulation against noise due to these layers. So, your joints are protected from stress, and your footfalls are quiet during exercise.
The tread belt is ideal for walking and jogging on a 40″L x 15.5″ W belt. The Goplus 2 in-1 Folding Treadmill is compact when assembled and measures 49″L x 27″W x 42″H. low enough when folded. The dimensions are 52″L x 27″W x 5″H.
No assembly is required except for the optional detachable armrest. It is easy to switch from walking to jogging mode.
The treadmill is portable and has transport wheels for easy storage.
You can stop walking or jogging by stepping on the textured side rails without stopping the treadmill.
The only thing that needs to be put together is the armrest, which can be taken off easily and attached to the risers. The company is thoughtful enough to include tools for connecting the armrests and collapsing the risers.
Motor
The Goplus 2-in-1 Folding Treadmill 2.25 HP has a quiet and smooth drive, so users can work out at home or work without bothering others. The motor is located at the front base of the treadmill and covered with ABS plastic.
You can jog on the treadmill as the motor has a speed range of 1 to 12 km/h. The risers are up and running mode.
Display
You can see your stats in real-time on the Goplus 2-in-1 folding treadmill on a sharp LED display on the front of the treadmill’s base. It shows your time, speed, distance, and calories burned while you work out. It is large and legible. Keep in mind that your distance is in kilometers.
Weight & Weighing Capacity
This machine is heavy but portable. It weighs 84 pounds and is difficult for some people to move out of the box or around due to its small wheels. Though it is heavy to unbox, moving it around isn’t a big problem for most people due to the small wheels for transport. But you have to carry most of its weight while moving it. Bigger wheels will surely be more helpful.
Finally, the weight capacity is 265 lbs., more than most treadmills in this category. Your weight shouldn’t be more than 225 lbs. to use this machine.
One of its functions is to work as an under-desk treadmill. Most under-desk treadmills work for 3 to 4 hours at a time. Because of this, a heavier person will shorten the treadmill’s life.Â
Pre-Set Exercise Programs
This treadmill doesn’t have any preset programs like more giant treadmills. But it does have different modes of working. A treadmill in this category with presets is Funmily 2in1
Speed & Incline
There is no incline in this treadmill.
The Goplus treadmill is marketed as a “2-in-1” model. With the riser folded, it can lay flat, and you can walk or jog up to 2.5 mph (4 km/h). A treadmill desk is a simple standing desk with a built-in treadmill. With the riser/arms in place, the top speed is 7.5 mph (12 km/h). So you can go for a decent jog and get your heart rate up. Another treadmill with a similar top speed is Urevo.
You can lay the deck flat, walk slowly, or raise its arms and run quickly. The speed can be changed by 0.6 mph (1 km/h).
Is it “sturdy” at high speeds when the arms are raised?
The Goplus 2-in-1 is relatively light compared to its weight capacity, which concerns its stability. But even at top speed, the machine is remarkably stable.
Remote Control
The Goplus 2-in-1 folding treadmill remote control is handy for changing speeds with power, +, and – buttons.
The remote control is easy to use. You can use the remote while walking or jogging to increase or decrease the speed. The same is also needed to turn the treadmill on/off.
Running Track
Goplus says the belt protects your knees and muscles.
The Goplus 2in1 has a short, narrow track, making it unsuitable for taller people to run. The 5-layer non-slip textured running belt provides knee and muscle protection.
The track is 40″L x 15.5″W. Therefore, it is comfortable for short and medium-height people to walk and jog on this machine. But tall people over 6 feet have bigger strides while running.
The Goplus 2-in-1 Folding Treadmill doesn’t need much upkeep, but like any other treadmill, the running belt needs to be oiled continuously to keep it running smoothly. Therefore, it would be best to keep it clean at all times.
Easy to Fold & Move
It folds flat and can be stored under a bed when not in use. In addition, it is easy to move and store due to its foldable design and transport wheels.
It folds flat and can be stored effortlessly upright with the arms attached. However, if you want it to lay flat, remember that you’ll have to reattach the arms when you want to use it raised.
This treadmill can be used regularly while working by sliding it under the user’s desk.
Heart Rate Monitor
No, it does not have a heart rate monitor.
Important Features
Due to the attached Bluetooth speakers, you can listen to music and playlists while exercising on the Goplus 2-in-1 treadmill.
You can also listen to your favorite fitness apps, take a call, or respond to an email while walking or jogging, as it has a phone holder too.
The attached safety clip that stops the treadmill immediately when pulled out also saves you from a trip or a fall.
Guarantee
The manufacturer provides a 90-day return guarantee on their products.
This is one big shortcoming of these push-under-the-bed treadmills. The frame and motor of other treadmills are guaranteed for anywhere from 10 years to the rest of your life.
Price
The regular price of this treadmill is $399.99. But it is frequently available at a discount. A slightly less expensive option is Bifanuo 2in1.
Preparing for a Race or Only to Stay Fit
