Treadmill Features
Collapsible Uprights and Console
The Echelon Stride has a fully collapsible console and uprights that will fold down directly against the frame. This allows you to lift the console and lock it into place when it is in use, but then fold it up when you’re done.
300lb Weight Capacity
The Echelon Stride only weighs 156 pounds, but it can support 300 pounds. This makes it work for larger users who need a folding treadmill.
12% Incline Range
A +12% incline is a steep grade which will engage your glutes and hamstrings during training. The Echelon Stride has no problem maintaining and holding the deck steady at a steep incline. The combination of multiple speed options and a respectable incline range provides valuable variability in any training regimen.
55” Long by 20” Wide Running Surface
This is a folding treadmill and the 55” long by 20” wide deck provides enough room for a comfortable walking stride. Petite users may have enough room to run, but the deck is a bit small for larger users.
Composite Frame
The Stride has a composite frame for added cushioning underfoot. While this isn’t the most cushioned treadmill, it does offer respectable support for something so compact.
Clean, Simple Backlit Screen
The simple console syncs with your tablet to display the Echelon United app. The convenient display shelf is easy to see and reach while you’re on the Stride.

I was skeptical of this treadmill until I saw this review. I am 6’2, 210 pounds and run at a 7 min mile pace and this treadmill works amazing even with the smaller motor. I have zero complaints. Thanks for this video!
According to the review, it looks short for a 6'2. How do you feel?
Is this the tread sport? Or the regular echelon tread? I bought the tread sport from Walmart and this sound the same. Still waiting for delivery
@@satertt totally fine… I’ve jogged and sprinted on it with no issues
Same skepticism for running - are you still pleased with performance? Trying to determine if this unit is sufficient for the average runner.
@@FinkB22 does this support someone that is heavier you think?
I REALLY enjoy how THOROUGH your reviews are! Thank you - best review yet on this particular treadmill.
Thanks for watching! We're glad you found it helpful.
Just got mine, have run a few times on it (7-8 mph, 1-3 miles, no incline) and I'm 6'4" (all legs) and 200lbs, have had no issues with the motor size, belt length, or stability. Very happy so far; time will tell if it holds up.
Great! We hope you continue to enjoy it!
Hi Pete. Do you still feel the same about it after 3 months?
@@rimaalsekait Hey Rima, I'm writing this after another run on it (30+ runs, 90+ miles total). There are a couple of very minor issues but overall I'm still very happy with it. I would buy it again and recommend it to anyone looking for a good, compact, occasionally storable treadmill.
@@pshep123 hi Pete, what are some of the issues? Would you still recommend? Do you do a light jog, or a run? Thanks
@@pshep123 Update 3yrs later???
Thanks for another great review! Been waiting for this one.
@Treadmillreviewguru, your thorough review really hooked me in on this model. People who have this all report to love it. Thanks for sharing and I cannot wait to go in on this beauty🥰
Great detailed review, thank you! I am looking for a compact treadmill and this really helped in making an informed decision.
Thanks for watching!
Good review. I'm looking at this treadmill and given the small motor and weight I was concerned but I'm around 180 and older so 6-7mhp is plenty. Seeing the guy run it sold me. I thanks again.
Best review on the stride yet.
Thank you!!
I like that it's not gaudy spaceship looking. The current production says 3.5 peak horsepower and 176lbs weight. Am considering it, thanks for the review.
Great review, thanks!
Thanks for the detailed review. I've been looking at this, but the complaints I've seen online about Echelon's customer service have scared me off of it. I'm taking a hard look at the Sunny SF-T722022--I'd love to see you review it; it's got a similar footprint and is also a fold-flat style. I realize I'd be taking a flier on the Sunny with its limited warranty (I did see that you included the Sunny Smart Strider in your list of best inexpensive treadmills for 2023--the SF-T722022 is a little cheaper and adds an auto-incline feature). I've also been looking at the 3G Cardio 80i. Its warranty and customer are really appealing, but it looks a little too heavy for me (I'm 5 ft / 100 lbs. and only plan to use the treadmill for walking; I'm not sure I could move the 80i by myself).
On the echelon site and other review sites it says 12 levels of incline but 10%. I am just confused to know if it actually reaches 12% incline or if it is only 10%.
This was very helpful in confirming my purchase.
I'm 5'11 around 195-200lbs, do you think this would hold up for light jogs and walks? The max speed I would put on this is maybe 8mph. Just looking for an indoor alternative for me and my wife when the weather isn't the best.
Great video!! Thanks!
I do like the treadmill except one issue - when you switch on the start button it is such a loud start up prompt and I don't know how to adjust or stop that.
Does this treadmill have a tabata program ? So like run for 1 minute and then walk for 20 seconds per se ?
Does this REQUIRE a membership? Or can I use it WO paying monthly? Their site requires me to pick a plan to buy this...
1.75 CHP (2.5CHP peak) brushless DC motor is energy-efficient and highly durable
Seems to come completed which is lovely
love your video. thanks for the help.i get mine today.
Thanks for watching! We hope you enjoy your new machine!
I got it yesterday. Love it.i don't have much room.but it's just right.
Curious to see this compared with the Proform City L6 as they are both similar with compactness and they don't have large console's.
Avoid Proform and NordicTrack if you can. They have horrible customer service..If an issue comes up with your treadmill it will take an herculean effort to get it resolved.
Hi! Great review. Are there any other treadmills with similar space-saving features/benefits (folding up, small spaces, etc) that rival this one? Or exceeds it?
I am 5’10 about $200 lbs. What’s a good treadmill for running? I was looking into buying this one
Any reviews on this longer term? I’m looking to do daily walks 5-10 miles. I love the incline feature on this and I need a small footprint. I killed two cheap no-name treadmills from Amazon. Would this be a good option? I’m considering adding Amazon’s warranty….
Did you end up getting this? If so, has it held up? If not, what did you get? Thanks
Thank you for this review! I have limited space, my house is a small cape. At the moment I plan to put on the second floor, my roof is still caped, I love that this machine folds flat. I have been a frequent user of a treadmill at the gym. on average running at a speed of 5mph for 30min a day. overtime I can work to the faster speeds, do you think the motor will support average usage like that? I also have my mom who will probably use it at 2mph and my brother who has spinal bifida, I like that the width to get on isn't high.
Yes, this is probably a great option for you. The small footprint and low step up height is a definite advantage.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru thank you for taking the time to reply!
Thanks for the thorough review. How hard was it for you to move around, lift from the flat position , etc? I’m really interested in knowing how easy or hard it might be for a smaller woman to maneuver.
It's relatively easy for our reviewers to move it around using the wheels, even our smaller reviewers can wheel it around from the flat, folded position. But keep in mind that It does weigh 156 lbs. It's more difficult to lift it up completely off the ground and this really requires two people.
Hello, I love the echelon for its minimal design and compact footprint. You mentioned that it’s constrictive for larger users. I’m 5’11”, 295 pounds, 66 years old. I’m on a weight loss journey so I won’t 295 forever, hopefully :) I’m a walker. Would this work for me? If not, can you recommend something similar that would work for me? Thank you.
The max user weight on the Stride is 300lb, and you're pretty close to that capacity. The Echelon can be a bit wobbly for larger users. We'd recommend looking at the Sole F63 or Sole F80 if your budget allows. They are stronger and more durable with a larger deck and higher weight capacity. The F63 is currently $1100 and the F80 is $1600.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thanks for the response and recommendations. What I love about this treadmill is the low profile. I have a Nordic trac that I’m sending back because it’s too big. Is this the best option in low profile treadmills?
Thank you for information. Can you please recommend me a basic but good quality tread mill. I only need the information for time, speed, calories and distance. Thank you.
At 1:25, you don't recommend this for running. Is the motor is not sufficient to handle someone 5'8" 145 pounds running for an hour?
Do you have heart monitor sensors ?
Great review. Does the belt slip to one side? I owned a compact treadmill and the belt eventually slipped to one side. No matter how I tweaked it, the issue repeated. I read somewhere that higher value treadmills don’t do that. Mine was a cheap one from Amazon. This is more expensive but I watched someone’s video review where the belt was shifted to one side.
We have multiple reviewers test each treadmill at various speeds and inclines and haven't noticed the belt slips. This could be something that occurs with extended use, but we haven't noticed that problem.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru I have had mine for 3 days and it slips and wobbles at 1 incline! i have adjusted the belt etc with no luck. I am 5'3" and 140 lbs
@@ple52 thanks
Hi, thanks for the review however I’d like to know its consumption of electricity? Does it use a lot or average?
This is a smaller treadmill with a smaller motor. We find the power draw to be roughly equivalent to a hairdryer or space heater. It works fine in a standard outlet.
Good review
Thanks for watching!
Would this work well on low pile carpeting such as berber? Or does this need to be placed on non-carpet flooring to function properly?
Berber carpet is fine. A treadmill mat may protect your carpet, but the treadmill will function fine.
I am 5’9” with longish legs. I just want to racewalk and have something that folds since my home is less than 1000 square feet. I also liked to hike so an incline is a good thing I think. I’m around 155 lbs. Do you think this might be a great model for me? Thanks!!!
My only concern would be the size of the deck. Your weight is perfect and as long as the deck provides enough length for your stride, it would be a great option. The deck is 55" long.
Would this treatmill be good for running 22 miles a week at 7 mph? I'm 6.3" 215 pounds or should I better look at models ike the Nordic Track C1750
This might be a bit small and underpowered for you. I would recommend the 1750 as a good starting option.
Great review! Are you required to sign up for the app before you can use the treadmill?
The treadmill will function without the app. You just won't have any video content.
Thei customer service told me you can't buy it without adding a mambership (but that you can cancel it again).
Great review. As of today would you recommend the Echelon Or the Botorro for someone looking for a compact treadmill and why?
We like both of these treadmills. The Echelon, however, has more training capabilities, it inclines up to 12%, has a larger weight capacity, and has a larger and faster deck. For a compact treadmill, it does a lot. The Botorro is a bit more compact than the Echelon, so if you're really short on space this one might be the better option it just doesn't have as many training options.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru thanks for helping me decide.
Would this treadmill be good for me jogging 3x4 times a week at a 6 pmh - 7 mph? // I will also be using it just for walking as well. 150 lbs 5'7
Yes! The Stride should support your use just fine :)
Excellent review thank you. When you walk on the treadmill can you increased walking speed from 3 to 3.5 or do you have to choose 3 and next speed 6 which is the jogging speed?
You can manually increase speed by pressing the + button. You aren't limited to the preset speeds only - these are there for convenience if you want to quickly move from a walk to a jog. But intermediate speeds are available using the manual buttons.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru thank you so much. Have a great day.
Seems to be the one for me… Thanks for the review
Is there heartrate monitor on this ??
What brand Shoes are you wearing? I am looking for good shoes to wear for walking on the treadmill or running.
Nike Infinity React flyknit. They are soft and have good cushioning.
This would be my ideal treadmill if the motor was bigger! Can you recommend the best compact treadmill with a HP of 2.5 or above?
The motor is good enough , 12 miles an hour dude thats fast. What type of running do u do that u need it to go faster than this
Everfit 855 slim, same but more powerful motor.
It's 12km/h according to the product details
@@vetlesraas2614 Any idea on how to get one in the U.S.? Looks like a great machine but I only see options for Italy and Europe :(
I want to do hike classes from my peloton App. These class are walking on a high incline. Will this machine work good for this?
The Echelon Stride inclines up to a 12% grade which we've found to be a nice incline range. If you want a higher incline however, we recommend checking out other models. For reference, the incline trainers from NordicTrack incline up to 40% which is some of the highest incline we've seen on home treadmills.
Hello, how is the pro form pro 5000, i see it in some stores but looks like the model is discontinued, is it a good buy?
Yes. It is a great model. We're not sure why it was discontinued. It's still available from certain retailers but not directly from ProForm.
My partner and I are both relatively short (5'6" and under) and light (150 lbs and under). We need a treadmill for our smaller apartment and plan to use it 3-5x/week total, with her using it for walking and slower jogs, and me using it for the same with occasional runs of 2-3 miles at paces between 7-8 mph. I'm a little concerned with the horsepower listed for the Echelon Stride - can someone please weigh in as to whether it will suffice for our needs?
If you don't need the extra length, the Botorro R5 may be a good option. It is 50" long and 18" wide, so it's smaller, but has a 2.5HP motor and feels very sturdy. The Sole F63 is another good option with more power - it's just a bit larger.
Here's our review on the Botorro:
www.treadmillreviewguru.com/botorro-r5-treadmill-review
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thanks for your very helpful response.
Also, is this so loud that watching TV or listening to music would be hard to do while exercising? Thanks!
It's not overly loud. It shouldn't disrupt volume from a TV
Hello, have you all tested the Asuna spaceflex ? It has a similar folding design and incline to this treadmill.
We haven't tested that one, sorry
Okay, thanks
I’m comparing the Echelon and Sunny Asuna Spaceflex now. I would love a review or comparison of the two!
@@spoutingfiction We haven't tested the Sunny Asuna in person, so I can't provide an educated comparison on that one. However, it looks like a good bike from the specs. Let us know what you decide and if you like it!
Do you think it’s safe to store horizontally (leaning in a wall for example)?
It can be leaned up against a wall vertically, so it probably can be stored on it's side leaning against a wall, too.
Does it matter much if the treadmill doesn’t have hydraulic shock absorption to it? Like that flex in the deck?
It only matters for those who plan to run, are larger users, or who need extra cushioning. It isn't a hard surface, but it isn't quite as cushioned as other treadmills. It is a great option for the size though
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thank you 😊
I’m looking for a small footprint treadmill good enough to train for a marathon, I’m 6’2” 240 looking to do hour to 2 hour training sessions
The Echelon may not be large enough for you. Would a full size, folding treadmill work? The Sole F80 or Horizon 7.8AT would both be great options, they are full size, but they do fold up when not in use to save space.
Why didn't you show lifting this up straight once folded down? I feel like this will be heavy to do? You mentioned it but didn't demonstrate it.
Sorry, that was an oversight. It isn't heavy - but it is a little awkward. The weight of the treadmill is all in the deck, so when you lift it, it can kind of tip a little to the sides. You have to stabilize it as you roll it. But it only weighs around 150lbs, which is quite light for a treadmill.
thanks a lot
Would this treadmill be appropriate for walking 3miles per hour 30 mins to 1 hour 4 times a week
Yes, the Echelon Stride would be perfect.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru thanks
All these UA-cam videos saying anything lower than 3hp isn't recommended for running is ridiculous. All the videos even say 2.5 HP isn't enough...I don't know why .. .My old treadmill that my family purchased in the early 2000s still runs!!! I use to run on that thing with no issues.. and it's def not 3hp.
Probably because with motors, if they’re overused they burn out. I don’t know what’s considered “overused” for something like a 1.75hp motor.
I am 6'3 about 285. I need soemthing like this to save space and I have absolutely no plans to run. I have lost a good portion of weight walking but as we go into the winter months Im stuck. As my wife and kids love to point out, most of my height is in my torso, so I am not sure my stride would be an issue. Thoughts?
The Echelon Stride is a good option for you. You can also check out the Horizon T101 and Sole F63 models. These treadmills don't fold flat and aren't as compact as the Echelon though, instead, the decks fold up when you're not using them. All of these treadmills are great for what you're looking for and should have enough room for your walking stride.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru This is fabulous thank you. I actually had done some more research and found the echelon on sale. I need something that hits all the points and the sale pushed it over the top. Thanks for your feedback!
@@SethKamins did you pull the trigger? if so, how do you like it so far?
@@Leo.SKDXL05 I did. Exactly what I wanted. Allows me to walk and is able to be stowed away. Excellent purchase - especially as I got a deal for Black Friday.
Other than the proform city, what others are comparable?
Check out the Botorro R5. It's similar but less expensive.
ua-cam.com/video/8D-i88o0Xl4/v-deo.html
@@TreadmillReviewGuru yup, saw that one but it doesn't incline which I need to increase my heart rate since I can't run.
@@chrisd4454 That makes sense. If you are okay not having an extremely compact machine you could check out the Horizon T101. It's a solid walking treadmill that inclines and it's pretty budget friendly. If you want something a little more sturdy you could also checkout the Horizon T202 or T303. Let us know if you have any follow up questions.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru thank you for replying. I'll check out that brand.
Would this be recommended for 60 minute runs at around 10-11km/h
If not what's the issue?
We don't really recommend this treadmill for running because it has a shorter 55" long deck and the 1.75 motor size is best for walking and some light jogging. For running I would look at treadmills with at least a 3.0 HP motor and 60" long deck to handle this level of training.
Nice!
Can you please help me with figuring out why Amazon says this has a 3.0 motor?
Echelon site from your link says $1299 but won't give spec details.
Amazon shows $1299 for the one with 3.0 HP
Also shows "new" for over $2000. Is there a premier model I'm unaware of? Or is that a 3rd party resaler trying to make a profit?
Walmart says "Stride Sport" for $697... Only difference seems to be a 1.35 HP motor?
Just wanna know what to look for so that I'm getting the actual 3.0 motor. For the actual price.
We need a treadmill for running for heavier users. 200 to 250 lbs. Incline. Compact/foldable with a minimal footprint while stored under bed or against a wall.... If this isn't the treadmill for us, what is?
Amazon is incorrect, the Echelon Stride has a 1.75 HP motor. The model up from this one is the Echelon Stride-s which has a larger 3.5 peak HP motor than the 1.75 HP motor on this Echelon Stride treadmill that's in the video. Peak just means that it can increase the horsepower to 3.5 for short periods to handle higher speeds. Unfortunately, Echelon only lists the Echelon Stride-s as a 3.5 peak HP motor so we don't know the actual motor size and we've haven't tested this one. Echelon's premium treadmill is the Echelon Stride-5s which has a 3.0 HP motor, but doesn't fold flat like you're wanting. The Stride Sport listed at Walmart doesn't sound like it will work for what you're wanting. I'd say the Echelon Stride-s is better for what you're looking for, it has a longer deck and larger motor and folds flat. Overall though, a compact treadmill that folds flat is going to be more limiting when it comes to using it for heavier running. If you do want a treadmill for heavier use, we recommend checking out a treadmill with a deck that folds up because you'll have more options for running. I understand if you're limited on space though and need one that fits under a bed or against a wall. In that case, I would definitely check out the Echelon Stride-s. If a treadmill with a deck that folds up could work though, let me know and I can recommend other options. Please let me know if you have any questions.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Wow quick reply thanks. I'll look at my options for the stride s and 5s. Folding flat is preferred But so long as it folds up within the space we intend to put it in can compromise on space for the better motor
Is this the tread sport model? Or regular echelon. The tread sport is a smaller model for echelon. I bought one at Walmart. If u can clarify, thanks
This is the Echelon Stride, just the original treadmill from them. Let us know if you have any other questions.
I wish I could see you roll it around in it's folded mode!
We have some footage of that here in this video actually
ua-cam.com/video/a51I3QzCiSI/v-deo.htmlsi=zWag1nUShNKuEMLB
But sorry it's not included here!
I wonder why the motor is not better for compact treadmills!
What seems appealing about this is the folding design seems awesome but my doubts are about the reliability and durability it’s not cheap so av5 year warranty would have been good
What is max weight, I dont see any notations anywherr... thank you
The maximum user weight is 300lb
Great, but great review girl 👍❤️🔥👌. Pura Vida
I really like this treadmill but you are forced to buy their membership. There is no option to remove that. That membership is around $35 per month. That is very frustrating.
Is that top clip not a top support for a tablet?
It can be used as a tablet holder but it's a bit small for a tablet.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru what I mean is it seems like the tablet would sit in the lower one and that would secure the top of it. I don't think it was ever intended to have a phone or tablet above the screen. I'm just guessing here.
@@lucasvoag6738 Oh I see what you mean, yes, that is the case for sure. When you include the tablet, it will cover up most of the console but if you bluetooth sync the tablet to the machine all of your metrics and data will show up on your tablet. Then you will still have access to the speed and incline buttons on either side of the tablet. Hopefully that all makes better sense now.
Looks ideal this but in the UK you only get 1 year warranty which is a short period of time for such an expensive item.
They will extend your warranty to 5 years if you take out a membership for £30 a month. That's s a lot of money.
So running 12-18k a day this would be a bad choice?
FYI, 5ft 9, 10st and run between 12-15kph for 60-90 minutes at a time.
My worry for this is how long it'll last, will that kind of regular use batter this thing within a couple of years? (Or worse)
Is this a Canadian channel?
No, we're U.S.
I like this treadmill a lot but the 1.75 HP motor is really weak. Really wish they made it at least 2.5 CHP.
They have the Stride-s - which supposedly has a 3 HP motor. It seems to have the exact same footprint as the stride in this review but with a few extra features and the 3.0 HP motor.
My Echelon Stride S arrived with an inoperable screen and so far the company has refused to help. I have called and messaged multiple times. If anyone knows how to get in touch with a supervisor please let me know.
Did you ever get this fixed?
@@ChrisBurrisMusic yes. Working with Echelon customer service was cumbersome at best but after a couple weeks and several phone calls they were able to get it working.
This looks more premium against the Butorro r5 which is a lot less expensive tha Echelon
I can't understand what she's saying about the speed. She says "3 is an average walking pace, 6 is kind of a base running pace, not too fast, about 10 miles per hour (which is 16 km per hour?) and then 9 is going to be really fast - so that's about 6,5 mhp". It makes no sense.
👋
It has a weak motor. 1.75 HP motor. I would expect at least a 2.5-3.0 CHP motor.
What does the motor determine?speed or what
I’m confused. Other professionals say this is good for running. But you say it isn’t.
very noisy & wobbly when running, price is high, warranty is short time, but portable for condo/apartment.
Many of these walking pads/treadmills motors tend to overheat prematurely according to Amazon reviews.😡
NOTE: This product works exactly as described. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxguEIMc_Qwab-3QMTpF6jaRL80hiOOsIN It originally earned a four-star review due to a minor defect (see below). However, the manufacturer's customer service rep (Lita) went above and beyond the call of duty and deserves five stars now. I wish I could give even more!I purchased this item which arrived quickly. Assembly instructions were easy to follow. There was only one problem: One bolt did not screw into the hole properly. I called the company. Their customer service rep (Lita) was terrific! She took all my information and submitted a request to replace the defective part. I'm hoping to finish assembly and start using this treadmill soon. (Fingers crossed...)FOLLOW UP: Lita called back to inform me that the company will send a replacement part AND a technician(!!) to install it properly. AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Thank you!!
