The Best Treadmills With a TV Screen (2025): Expert-Tested Machines for Successful Mid-Workout Streaming

There are three treadmills in the NordicTrack Commercial Series: the 1750, the 2450, and the 1250. The 1750 and 2450 come equipped with swiveling 16-inch and 22-inch displays, respectively, while the 1250 boasts a tilting 10-inch touchscreen. Why does this matter? Because it enables you to do iFIT programming on or off the treadmill.

An iFIT membership gets you access to literally thousands of workouts, including on-demand classes for circuits that might incorporate your treadmill. A rotating, high-definition touchscreen means you can get on and off the machine without missing a beat.

When you purchase any of the treadmills in this line, you get a free 30-day trial of iFIT. The app takes you on runs through mountains and along beaches. “It’s arguably the most impressive aspect of this treadmill lineup,” says GGR team member and certified personal trainer Kate Meier. It also uses Google Maps so you can pick any location around the world and exercise there (virtually). As such, we rate the dynamic programming at 5 out of 5.

As for the distance between you and that sweet touchscreen and console, we had our expert testers take custom measurements for accuracy. The 1750 comes in at around 27 inches from the incline and speed buttons, and the 2450 measures 28 inches from the incline and speed settings, meaning the touchscreen may be slightly more than an arm’s length away.

The Commercial Series has a number of other features we love, like decline training that we rate at 5 out of 5. You’ll find incline training on most treadmills these days, but decline training is much more rare. Each of the treadmills in this line offers a -3% decline up to a 12% incline to simulate hills and stimulate muscles. “I really like the AutoAdjust technology, too, that automatically toggles your incline as you pace through your iFIT workouts,” notes GGR Everything lead reviewer Lindsay Scheele.

It’s important to note that while each treadmill in NordicTrack’s Commercial Series line has a great, high-definition touchscreen, you cannot stream shows from the machine. Also, disappointingly, these treadmills don’t have a tablet holder to rest a device, so you can’t watch shows that way, either.

Sole Fitness is known for high-quality treadmill machines designed to keep up with speed training, endurance running, and everything in between. The Sole F89 not only boasts a powerful 4.0 horsepower motor for avid runners; it has a massive 21-inch touchscreen for the latest tech. During our custom treadmill testing, we found that the distance from the console was about 31 inches, just over arm’s length.

GGR expert tester and certified personal trainer, Lindsay Scheele, says, “The durability on display with this Sole treadmill is top notch.”. She scored the F89 at 4.5 out of 5 stars, saying that she didn’t experience frame shaking or screen wobbling at top speeds.

In addition to durability, Lindsay states, “You don’t need a subscription to unlock all the benefits of this machine. You’ll be able to stream third-party entertainment apps like YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, and Audible.”

The treadmill comes with 12 preset programs you can use without WiFi, plus the ability to use the free SOLE+ app. The app is integrated into the touchscreen display and features a large library of on-demand workouts with motivating instructors. The F89 earns a 4 out of 5 stars in the tech capability category. 

We have more details on Lindsay’s experience in our in-depth Sole F89 review. 

If you’re on the prowl for an affordable treadmill that has an advanced monitor (and solid specs) then the ProForm Pro 2000 might be it. While we didn’t select the Pro 2000 for our roundup of best budget treadmills, you absolutely get a lot for the $1,499 price tag. 

The crisp and clear picture on the 10-inch touchscreen display will be captivating for iFIT on-demand classes and scenic runs. Not to mention you can do off-treadmill workouts like strength training and yoga with iFIT, too. As such, we rate the dynamic programming at 5 out of 5. “In my opinion, iFIT is one of the best integrative training apps out there,” says CrossFit Level-1 instructor Caroline Lubinsky. “There are few platforms out there that provide as much versatility.”

One of the best parts of using iFIT on the Pro 2000 treadmill is the automatic trainer control which adjusts your speed and incline levels for you based on the trainer’s cues. Our expert product testers report the hands-free running experience is great because they can focus on the workout and not on reaching for buttons. 

Plus, the machine itself is built for treadmill speed training with a 60-inch-long running deck, tread belt cushioning, 300-pound user weight capacity, and a powerful 3.25 continuous horsepower motor. We score the durability at 5 out of 5.

There are a few downsides to the high-tech TV screen on the Pro 2000 Series, starting with the fact that you cannot stream movies or shows directly through the treadmill. Caroline adds, “You can use your own device for such needs, but unfortunately, there is no dedicated device holder across the console.” Lastly, if you’re taking advantage of iFIT’s on-and-off treadmill workouts, be aware that the screens on the ProForm models do not swivel.

When it comes to the latest smart features, the Echelon Stride-8s has nearly everything you could want. The first thing GGR expert tester, Lindsay Scheele noticed was the crystal-clear 22-inch touchscreen to display immersive programming from the Echelon premium membership. “I also like that you can integrate your workouts with third-party apps like Apple Health, Strava, Zwift, and FitBit,” she adds.

The treadmill has myriad of other high-tech features like an LED lighting track that flanks either side of the running deck and changes based on your pace, a 180-degree swivel screen for off-treadmill workouts, wireless phone charger, and two pulse grip heart rate sensors. 

While these features were fun for Lindsay to test, she thinks it’s worth noting the screen shook and moved around more than she expected, leading to a 3 out of 5 construction rating. The TV screen is designed to swivel for off-treadmill workouts and tilt up and down so you don’t have to crane your neck while running. However, at high speeds, the impact from running forced the screen to fall back to its original position after Lindsay had tilted it upward for a better view.

Another callout she has is the trackball-style speed controls on the handlebars. “I like the concept, but the responsiveness from these controls is somewhat delayed,” she states in reference to her 3-out-of-5 adjustability score. We have more details about everything she liked and hopes to see improve in our Echelon Stride-8s review.

If you’re looking for a treadmill that streams shows from apps you use often, then the Bowflex Treadmill 10 is hard to beat. Sweat through your workouts as you watch Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and HBO Max. 

There are a few catches, though. The first is that you must have a JRNY subscription to stream (you get a one-year free trial of JRNY with your purchase). JRNY is the Bowflex version of the Peloton app or iFIT: It has hundreds of workouts, personalized coaching, virtual runs, and adaptive workouts that progress with your fitness level.

JRNY is priced lower than competitor programs, but our testers report that it isn’t quite on par with those programs, either, rating the programming at 4.5 out of 5. “It’s almost as if the platform isn’t entirely fleshed out,” says CrossFit Level-1 instructor Caroline Lubinsky.

The other important note is that the cost of the streaming apps themselves is not included when you buy the treadmill. However, you can easily sync the Treadmill 10 with your existing accounts.

The Treadmill 10 can hit a top speed of 12 MPH and boasts a large range of -5% decline and 15% incline—enough for a 4.5 out of 5 adjustability rating. This is a folding treadmill that uses what Bowflex calls a “soft-drop” system, which means it’s hooked to hydraulics to make sure the deck doesn’t come crashing down on you when you lower it. 

Like most of the other machines on this list, the Treadmill 10 is large, and at 323 pounds, it’s heavy and hard to move. We found it difficult to put together and recommend you opt for professional assembly.

NordicTrack has two new machines in its Incline Treadmill Series (as they closeout previous models), which come with either a 16-inch or 24-inch high-definition touchscreen. The X24 has the larger 24-inch touchscreen, making for pretty immersive running. The NordicTrack X24 is also equipped with iFIT, which streams live and on-demand interactive workouts.

GGR Everything Lead Reviewer Lindsay Scheele, CPT, CNC, notes that the treadmill is very stable, in particular the touchscreen. “Even at top speeds, the big screen doesn’t wobble,” she notes. “Most treadmills with a large screen have the issue of wobbling at maximal speeds, but the X24 is solid.”

We like the Commercial X24, although at $4,499, it’s the pricier treadmill between the X24 and X16. Still, it features an impressive -6% decline and a whopping 40% incline—much steeper than any other machine on this list and enough for a 5 out of 5 adjustability score. This promotes some serious incline training. Even better: You can use this machine for sled pushes and pulls. Set the machine at 1 MPH and use either the elevated push bar or the sled grips at the bottom of the console for muscle-building activity.

With a 4.25 continuous horsepower motor and a spacious 22-inch-by-60-inch running deck, the X24 is an incline treadmill that can handle just about any workout for tall runners and serious trainees.

The treadmill itself weighs 445 pounds (in box) and has a 400-pound user weight capacity leading us to score the durability at 5 out of 5. The X24 is 70 inches long, 38 inches wide, and 73 inches tall—”it’s a big machine,” Lindsay notes. And because it’s so heavy, it isn’t easy to move, and the deck does not fold. Our advice is to build this where it’s going to live and limit how much you might need to move it.

Peloton typically needs no introduction among cardio fanatics. Marked by world-class programming that our testers agree other streaming services can’t hold a candle to, Peloton paved the way for smart home gym equipment and created a competitive market for any brand that followed.

When you compare the Tread to other high-tech treadmills, the specs seem to one-up the competition: a 23.8-inch touchscreen (many others are 22 inches); top incline of 12.5% (most others stop at 12%), and top speed of 12.5 MPH (whereas other machines cap out at 12 MPH). We score the overall construction at 4 out of 5.

Those numbers may be an attempt to justify the price tag: The Tread costs much more than most similar machines, coming in at close to $3,000. However, what you’re really paying for is the Peloton App, AKA the gold standard of cardio fitness apps. As such, we score the value at 4 out of 5.

One important feature the Tread has is a locking mechanism that keeps unauthorized users from using the machine. This is especially relevant after the other treadmill in Peloton’s line, the Tread+, was involved in the death of one child and dozens other incidents, prompting its recall.

Similar to many other treadmills with TV screens, the Tread does not have a media shelf. It is also heavy at almost 300 pounds and difficult to move. Lindsay Scheele, GGR’s cardio equipment expert, notes, “While I admire the sturdy, clean aesthetic, I would be hesitant to try and move this machine on my own. Thankfully, though, professional assembly is included with your purchase.”
