Treadmill Cabinets

If you’re sick of your exercise equipment making your home look cluttered, there’s a solution: treadmill cabinets. These are beautiful pieces of furniture that will safely enclose your equipment and make your house look like home again.

There are 3 different solutions you can take if you want to install a treadmill cabinet. The first is to get an all-inclusive package. The second is to buy a free-standing cabinet. The third is the DIY route.

There are a select number of companies that supply an all-in-one treadmill cabinet. They come complete with a folding treadmill so you know everything is going to fit together nicely. Hammacher has a unit that also has a weight bench and two sets of chrome weights. Essentially, it’s a complete home gym that can be put away. The elegant wardrobe cabinet would suit a classic style home or office. At the end of your workout, everything packs up neatly. This is a high-end furniture solution and is priced at around $3,000.

If you’re looking for something a little less expensive, you can get a freestanding cabinet. These are available within the price range of $400-500. These don’t come with a treadmill, so you’ll need to take very careful measurements to make sure the treadmill you have in mind will fit. Typically, these cabinets are around 90 inches high, 42 inches wide, and 20 inches deep. Just make sure your folding treadmill will fit into this space.

The last option is the DIY route. If you’re handy, you can easily put together a cabinet to cover your treadmill. The big advantage of doing it yourself is that you can make it the exact size and shape of your treadmill. Although some treadmills are advertised as folding, the footprint can be large when you consider a cabinet. For example, Pacemaster has an excellent quality folding model, but the depth is still 28 inches. You can accommodate this if you choose to build your treadmill cabinet yourself.
