Work it! Get fit at home with the top treadmills in Australia

Best for: walking and working at your chosen pace

Want to stay active as you work? Why not opt for an under-the-desk treadmill to get that step count underway? Equipped with a powerful yet quiet motor for minimal noise disturbance, your work-from-home day could become all the more efficient with this walking pad.
