Winter is waning, but that doesn’t mean it’s over yet. And while running in the cold can be a refreshing experience for some, the love for a comfy run on a quality treadmill is real. Treadmill running gives you fine control over your workout intensity and time, which translates to ample opportunity to lock in consistent intervals and dial your paces before the spring.

Good treadmills are pretty pricey, so it makes sense to wait for a good deal before you pounce on a great model. And despite the post-holiday lull in discounts, opportunities to save are always afoot. Take Presidents’ Day, which is this weekend. Sales are popping up on top-rated ’mills that could help you win the waiting game a little early.

We test plenty, and several of our favorites are among these Presidents’ Day treadmill sales, too. We’ve gotten feet on most of the models here, but those we haven’t come from brands whose other treadmills we’ve tried and trust. The one exception, WalkingPad’s KingSmith X21, comes from our extensive research into the best under-desk treadmills. Don’t let the low percentages on some of these discounts fool you—given how expensive treadmills are, these will all save you hundreds of dollars, and some shed over $1,000 from their original price. We can’t guarantee how long these deals will last, but we’ll be watching closely for new ones and updating this article as we find them.

Commercial 1750 Treadmill

The Commercial 1750 has been our pick for the best overall treadmill for a while now, and we update that roster frequently. Why has this model stuck around? The answer lies in how the 1750 provides an immersive indoor workout. It operates near-silently, you can adjust the incline (or decline) with 15 degrees of variation, and you can fine-tune the firmness of the track to your preference. Plus, you can load up morale-boosting follow-alongs and classes on its 10-inch display.

Right now, you can knock 200 bucks off the 1750 on NordicTrack’s website.

EXP 10i Treadmill

NordicTrack’s 10i, the flagship of the brand’s budget-minded EXP line, packs plenty of the same performance you can expect from the Commercial series—a comfortable track, a clear display, and 12 degrees of incline adjust. The track is a bit smaller than the Commercial 1750 but not small enough for it to feel cramped, according to our testing. Save yourself a cool hundred bucks on one right now, and perhaps use the extra cash to treat yourself to some new kicks.

7.0 AT Treadmill

If you already have a preferred streaming class and don’t want to fuss with loading it up on a proprietary display, treat yourself to the phone- and tablet-friendly dashboard of this Horizon treadmill. You can save $1,100 on one right now, and with it you get some of the easiest on-the-fly adjustability out of any treadmills we’ve tested.

KingSmith X21 Foldable Under-Desk Treadmill

WalkingPad’s treadmills aren’t quite optimized for running, but their sleek designs make them easy to store and integrate into your work-from-home setup. Want to knock out a couple of miles of walking at your desk? Just slide the X21 underneath it and get moving—plus, right now, you can get yourself set up for 200 dollars less.

This model, unlike some others in the WalkingPad range, does support running at speeds up to 7.5 mph (roughly an 8-minute mile). It’s not ideal if you want to get a speedwork session in, but it’s still an impressive performer for something that can fold up and stash behind a desk.

T202 Treadmill

Another solid treadmill that toes the line between entry- and mid-level, the T202 is sturdy and comfortable, performing just as well as other models but for half the price. It has one of the steepest max inclines here, at 15 degrees, and it can fold up for extra storage in a crowded gym. All that makes it well worth the limited-time $550 discount you get when you buy this model and use the code WINTER50 when you’re checking out.

TRX3500 Treadmill

We recommend investing in a full-size treadmill if you’re considering running indoors regularly. But that can also be a hassle if your living space is… economical. Thankfully, the TRX3500 folds up using hydraulic assists to cut its footprint in half while maintaining a properly sized deck for runners of all heights. And following this treadmill’s theme of shrinking, you can buy it for 500 bucks off.

Manual Incline Treadmill

Sunny’s workout equipment has always been comparatively reliable for its price, and this treadmill is no different. It doesn’t have many of the features we’ve grown to appreciate on higher-end treadmills, such as automated incline adjustment, but we imagine you’ll struggle to find a more trustworthy treadmill under 500 bucks—or $420 right now, given the discount.
