5 Foldable Treadmills That Take up Zero Space in Tiny Apartments

Traditionally, logging miles has required either a big, bulky treadmill or a long stretch of road. But thanks to foldable treadmills, you can get those steps in without going outside...or taking up a single inch of that precious floor space. When sprawled out, these foldable treadmills offer all of the benefits of your usual running workout, and when you're done with your sweat sesh, you can fold them up and store them under the bed or against the wall.

Here, five options that the internet loves—and that won't have to double as a new piece of permanent furniture.
