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

The Sole F89 is a shoe-in for the best treadmill with a TV screen because in our testing, it scores a perfect 5-out-of-5 rating in several categories: customizations, tech capabilities, and ergonomics, as well as near-perfect scores in several others.

“I think this treadmill is fantastic,” says Lindsay Scheele, GGR Everything lead reviewer and certified personal trainer. “I’m pretty impressed by it.” 

First, let’s dive into the available tech. The Sole F89 has Bluetooth-enabled speakers as well as a massive 21-inch touchscreen. During our testing, we took custom measurements and found that the distance from the console to where the runner stands is about 31 inches, or just over an arm’s length away. “You don’t need a subscription to unlock all the benefits of this machine,” Lindsay points out. “You’ll be able to stream third-party entertainment apps like YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, and Audible.”

The F89 has a lot to offer beginners and advanced runners alike. The free SOLE+ programming has hundreds of workouts to choose from that stream on the large screen. The treadmill itself boasts both incline and decline training, too, which is rare to find even on high-end machines. The range goes from -6% to 15%, along with speeds of up to 12 mph. 

We love when a treadmill can accommodate people of many body types. The F89 scores high in both durability and ergonomics thanks to a high weight capacity of 375 pounds and a spacious 60-inches-long-by-22-inches-wide running deck. 

Lindsay gives the F89 a 5 out of 5 in durability, saying that she didn’t experience frame shaking or screen wobbling at top speeds.

We do have a few callouts for this machine, though. First, there is a hood that covers the front of the running deck, which is there to make sure dust stays out of the motor. Some machines have this, some don’t. Lindsay, as well as several of our other testers, noticed that when the machine was in a declined setting, their feet would strike or almost strike that hood. 

Additionally, this is a very large machine and weighs just over 350 pounds. “I had a hard time moving it,” Lindsay notes, giving the F89 a 3 out of 5 in portability.

If you’re a runner looking for a treadmill that will accommodate your workouts and provide a TV screen, the NordicTrack Commercial Series has three machines that we rated highly in our testing. The Commercial 1750 and Commercial 2450 come equipped with pivoting 16-inch and 24-inch displays, respectively, while the Commercial 1250 boasts a pivoting 10-inch touchscreen. All three offer you both incline and decline training, spacious running decks, and fantastic speed ranges.

As for the distance between you and that touchscreen, 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.

We rated each treadmill in the NordicTrack Commercial Series a perfect 5 out of 5 in tech capabilities and programming, thanks, in part, to their touchscreens from which you can stream services like Netflix and Prime Video. We also love their integration with iFIT programming. iFIT gives you access to literally thousands of workouts, including on-demand classes for off-machine circuits. A rotating, high-definition touchscreen means you can get on and off the treadmill without missing a beat.

“iFIT is one of the few workout programs I can actually stick to because they make it fun and engaging,” says GGR tester and certified personal trainer Anthony O’Reilly. 

NordicTrack used to offer a free 30-day trial of iFIT with the purchase of any treadmill, though it appears they may have done away with that offering. Having iFIT unlocks the true power of these machines, so we recommend purchasing a Pro membership for $39/month (or pay the year in full and save more). 

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). 

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 of a rarity. 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 these treadmills don’t have a tablet holder to rest a device, so you can’t watch shows that way, either. They are also large and heavy, so they each scored just about average when it comes to footprint and portability.

For a budget treadmill that has an advanced monitor and solid specs, the ProForm Carbon Pro 2000 is hard to beat. With a $1,799 price tag, it’s one of the most affordable machines that still features a touchscreen. We rated it a solid 4 out of 5 for value.

“It’s comfortable to use, feels very durable, and is lightweight for its size, making it easy to move around,” says GGR Everything lead reviewer Lindsay Scheele.

The crisp and clear picture on the 10-inch touchscreen display is ideal 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. In our testing, we rated 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 Carbon Pro 2000 treadmill is the automatic trainer control that 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 entirely on the workout rather than reaching for buttons. 

Plus, the machine itself is built for treadmill speed training with a 60-inch-long running deck, tread belt cushioning, 350-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, though, to the high-tech TV screen on the Carbon Pro 2000 Series.

“I like the size of this 10-inch screen. However, the screen itself wasn’t the most responsive console I’ve ever used,” Lindsay says. “It took me a couple of swipes before the screen responded to what I wanted to see.”

The Aviron Victory treadmill is an excellent choice for users who want a large screen with extensive programming, a durable frame, and ample cushioning for a comfortable run.

Lindsay Scheele, CPT, gave this treadmill 4 out of 5 stars for ergonomics.

“It comes with six shock absorbers to help reduce the impact when running,” Lindsay explained. “It’s not the most cushioned deck out there, but I absolutely felt comfortable and enjoyed running on it.”

Aviron uses a gamified approach to its programming, adding an extra layer of fun and competition. In addition to arcade-style programming, the 22″ HD touchscreen offers on-demand streaming entertainment from platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube, Hulu, Spotify, and more. As you run, you’ll be able to compare your stats against elite runners, community members, and even your past runs.

This gamified approach to programming is one of our favorite features with the Aviron treadmill, and we give it 5 out of 5 stars for both tech capabilities and programming.

We also give the Aviron a solid 4.5 out of 5 for durability and construction. It features a 3.5 HP motor and a 400-pound weight capacity. The average treadmill we’ve tested only has a weight capacity of 322 pounds, so we’re happy to see this. However, we docked half a point because Lindsay noticed that the screen and arms shake a little bit at high speeds, saying, “It’s nothing major, but I’m still surprised to see this much shake from an otherwise high-end piece of equipment.”

Another callout is the footprint and portability, which earned a 3-out-of-5-star rating. The treadmill is quite large, measuring 77 inches long by 33 inches wide and weighing 242 pounds. It has wheels for transport, but it doesn’t fold, so moving it yourself can be a bit challenging.

Overall, we think this is a great machine, especially if you want interactive programming, a beautiful display screen, and durable construction. Just know that once you set it up, it may be challenging to move.

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.”
