Labor Day Treadmill Sales & Tips (2024)

I have to tell you, the idea of working out on Labor Day is music to my ears. Yes, the operative word in the term “working out” is indeed work, but for most of us, exercise is a labor of love. So, it’s no surprise to me that treadmill manufacturers are rolling out the deals. Treadmill prices have actually been interesting to watch this year with a lot of low prices relative to past seasons. There’s also a been a number of great added value specials, like mats and accessories thrown into a purchase. This Labor Day for instance, NordicTrack is offering up to 10 months of its iFit workout app with the purchase of select machines. Normally the iFit program costs $39 or $15 per month depending on the package.

What’s great about a Labor Day special for treadmills is how it reminds me that winter is coming. Yes, the days of September are filled with sunshine, and outdoor runs are fun. But come November you’ll be glad you have a new treadmill parked in your spare bedroom as you can use it day or night, rain or shine. These days, the best home treadmills come loaded with extra benefits, like fans, built-in workout programs, Bluetooth speakers, and accessory trays. Whether as a gift for someone else or just yourself, you’ll find units here anywhere from under $700 to over $4,000, all on special through September 2nd.

Shoppers can save big on the newest treadmill models from NordicTrack, ProForm, Sole and other leading brands. The deals are usually substantial, often involving savings upwards of $1,000. We also appreciate the fact that brands frequently opt to forego the “coupon code method” in favor of slashing prices for a limited timeframe. As with years past, we’ve found some pretty significant deals on a wide range of treadmill categories across the web.

Interestingly enough not all sales are as substantial as they seem. Brands in every category (not just fitness), have a tendency to artificially inflate base prices ahead of a sale period in order to make their discounts appear more substantial than they really are. Not to worry, we’ve got you covered there. We always ensure to include the standard list price of each treadmill in our reviews, so you can see how significant each Labor Day discount really is.

Just a Sample of Top Labor Day Sales:

NordicTrack Commercial X32i – $500 off

If you dig heavy-duty mountain-climbing, this X32i happens to be one of the best treadmills ever. The Godfather of treadmills, the X32i is a genuine workhorse of a machine. If your want the biggest, this is it. With an award-winning 40% incline and -6% decline, as well as a gigantic 32″ high-definition touchscreen, it really does feel like you’re hiking up the Rocky Mountains when you’re using the iFit program. On sale this Labor Day for $3,999, down from $4,499, purchase includes a 10-month trial of iFit, which brings with it automatic trainer control and Bluetooth heart rate training, as well as both live and on-demand workouts by the tens of thousands. That’s an extra $390 off the purchase price right there. Bigger does mean just that. I strongly recommend finding a permanent place for this unit if you buy it. Measuring 76.5″ x 40″ x 73″ at a in-box product weight of 426 pounds, I see why NordicTrack placed a 4.25 CHP motor inside to guarantee a 400-pound user maximum.

NordicTrack Commercial 1750 – $300 off

If you want a “Goldilocks” treadmill, something not too big nor too small, the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 is one of those.

NordicTrack Commercial 2450 – $500 off

Right off the bat, if you like the NordicTrack Commercial 1750, then consider the 2450 a very similar model but with a 22″ high-definition screen instead of 14″. To that degree, most of the specs remain the same. You’re still looking at a 12% to -3% incline and decline with a maximum speed of 12mph, as well as iFit connectivity. The treadmills are so similar it’s quite telling when you see the pricing difference involved in the screen size. Purchase price is down to $2,499 with an extra 10 months of iFit added into the deal. That said, the 2450 does have a slightly shorter frame measuring 78.5″ x 35.6″ x 65″ and 400lb weight capacity. For my full review of the NordicTrack Commercial 2450 read here.

Folding Treadmill Deals

A folding treadmill is your go-to option when space is a primary concern, and though they generally cost slightly more than others, this batch of Labor Day Discounts could make some of the best folding treadmills fit your budget. Of the many options out there we’re especially fond of NordicTrack’s Commercial 1750 in this category, though depending on your needs or budget there are plenty of other solid options out there to choose from.

Treadmill Deals for Walkers

Thankfully treadmills for walkers are already the most affordable in the category, though there’s nothing wrong with a little additional discount, right? Our favorite treadmills for walkers have power inclines that help trainees dramatically increase calorie burn. Keep an eye out for Labor Day discounts on treadmills with 55″ tracks and up to 20% incline.

Treadmill Deals for Serious Runners

In this category things start to get a bit more pricey, as you’re looking at treadmills with higher output electric motors—ones capable of speeds in excess of the industry-standard 10-12mph. When comparing the Labor Day treadmill deals out there, you’ll want to consider top speed, motor output, and running surface adjustability. Many runners are also interested in power ramps; the best treadmills for runners have automated inclines, and some are also capable of decline angles as well.

Desk Treadmill Deals

Attached work surfaces and ultra-quiet motors are key when it comes to office-friendly desk treadmills. These treadmills are usually run at 2 mph to burn hundreds of calories per day—melding fitness and productivity into a single activity period. Some, but not all, desk treadmills are capable of running at more standard treadmill speeds if you’re looking to roll a proper run into your routine at lunch or the end of your day. Some have limited workout programming, but others have the same engaging workout programming found in traditional treadmills. Shopping the Labor Day treadmill deals, you’ll see that popular desk treadmills have special features such as adjustable height, power strips for office equipment, and other tricks up their sleeve.

Cheap Treadmills

There are plenty of budget treadmills on offer for Labor Day, but buyer beware. Low prices are attention-getting, but they aren’t always good deals. Make sure that the warranty is a good fit for the product’s quality and sale price, as the last thing you want is to buy a less reliable piece of equipment that you’ll have to replace within a year or two of ownership. For help you can see our free in-depth treadmill reviews. Also see our selection of the year’s best treadmills under $1,000.

Luxury Treadmill Discounts

Short burst sales like this one are a great time to be shopping for high-end treadmills; Labor Day discounts on top-tier models can be thousands of dollars. Though they cost more up front, luxury treadmills are very low maintenance, have especially comfortable decks and are equipped with preset workouts. They also consistently feature much longer warranties than more entry-level models. Expect to find large high definition touchscreens, WiFi connection, onboard fans and speakers, and a host of other features not found on lower price models.

Early Bird Savings

Unlike other holiday sales, these Labor Day deals are often quite brief and announced relatively late in the game. Take a moment to browse our in-depth brand reviews and our best treadmill picks, so that you’re properly prepared once the deals start to surface.
