The Goplus SuperFit 2 in 1 Folding Treadmill isn't the best treadmill on the market, but it is a compelling option for walkers or light runners who are tight on space or interested in the versatility of its 2 in 1 design. It can be used with the handrail up like a regular treadmill or folded down like an under-desk model. This versatility and the lighter weight and smaller size of the Goplus result in some major compromises in the size of the running surface and its speed range, however, making it far from ideal for running at higher speeds or those with a long stride. Regardless, this treadmill could be a good fit for apartment dwellers or office workers for walking or light jogging.
Due to the nature of Goplus SuperFit's smaller size and 2-in-1 design, it makes some concessions in terms of exercise quality, especially when compared to larger and more expensive competitors. It has a relatively small tread surface and a limited speed range, making it best suited to walking or very light jogging. It is quite basic and lacks workout programs or compatibility with training apps. This treadmill is best suited for walking, jogging, and low-intensity exercise.
The Goplus SuperFit can be used in two ways: with the handrail folded down in walk mode or with the handrail up in run mode. In walk mode, its speed range is limited to 2.5 mph maximum, and it can be used anywhere, including at a standing desk. In run mode, it has a top speed of 7.5 mph, making it suitable for everything from walking to jogging. This speed range is quite limiting compared to other models that can support speeds of up to 12 mph. However, given the smaller size of the running surface, we wouldn't want to try running any faster than 7.5 mph anyway. The running surface measures just 40 inches long by 16 inches wide, which is fine for walking or a light jog, but not adequate for running at higher speeds. Even when jogging, I had to be careful not to step on the side rails, and those with a long stride may feel somewhat limited by the shorter length.
Every workout on the Goplus SuperFit is manually controlled. There are no programmed workouts, and the user is responsible for adjusting the tread speed and keeping track of time, distance, or calories burned. Again, this model is very basic, especially when compared to fancy high-end models with connected features and touchscreens.
The Goplus SuperFit uses Bluetooth to connect to your phone to play music through its small speaker. This is a simple machine that lacks any connected features, making it incompatible with training apps. However, I really liked being able to rock out without wearing headphones.
While the Goplus SuperFit is generally quite easy to use, it loses ground in this metric due to its display and controls. This is a basic treadmill, and starting a workout is impressively straightforward. The display, however, is small, shows only one metric at a time, is located in a difficult-to-see position, and the controls consist of a handheld remote for changing the speed. While functional, the display and controls leave a lot to be desired.
It is very quick and easy to start a workout on the Goplus SuperFit. Flip the main power switch to turn it on, then use the remote to start the tread and adjust the speed. Since there are no programs or other details to worry about, it's as simple as that. If you happen to have it stored under a bed or in a closet, you may also need to take an extra step to fold the handrail up into position to put it in run mode, depending on how you intend to use it.
A small LED display positioned at the front of the treadmill displays one metric at a time, switching between elapsed time, speed (in km/h), distance, and estimated calories burned. While the numbers are large and bright enough to read, the screen's location at the front of the tread belt makes it somewhat difficult to see. A small remote is used to adjust the belt speed, with + and - buttons to speed it up or slow it down. There are no controls on the handrail; the remote is the only way to adjust the speed. While this is certainly effective, it can be somewhat annoying to hold it in your hand while walking or jogging.
The Goplus SuperFit is a fairly basic treadmill, and it doesn't come loaded with many features. The few features it does have, however, help to enhance its storability and convenience.
The primary feature of the Goplus is its folding handrail. This allows you to use it in either walk or run mode and makes it impressively small and storable when not in use. It can easily fit under a bed or couch or be stuffed in a closet with the handrail folded down. It also has small transport wheels that make it easy to roll on firm surfaces. Beyond that, it has a small bracket on the top of the handrail that can hold a smartphone, as well as a small Bluetooth speaker to play music while you exercise.
The Goplus scored well in this metric for its quick and easy assembly. It comes mostly assembled, with only a few easy steps remaining to complete the process. It is also relatively small and lightweight compared to the other models tested, making handling and removal from the box relatively easy.
While the Goplus is much lighter weight than other treadmills, it still weighs about 80 pounds in the box. You may need the help of another person to move it into the package and remove it from the box. Once the packing materials are removed, the remaining steps are to attach the phone holder to the top of the handrail and to attach the handles. One somewhat inconvenient thing is that the handles are bolted onto the handrail, so if you intend to switch between walk and run modes regularly, you will need to remove them every time or just leave them off altogether. Regardless, I found the assembly process to be straightforward, taking only about 20-25 minutes to complete.
One of the biggest strengths of the Goplus is its storability. This model's lighter weight and impressively small collapsed size make it the best option for those who are super tight on space, assuming its smaller running surface and lower speeds work for you.
Even in run mode with the handrail in the up position, the Goplus is the smallest treadmill we tested, with a footprint of 51" L x 27" W and a height of 41.5". With the handrail folded down, it is only 52" L x 27" W with a shockingly low thickness of 5.25". This makes it extremely easy to slide under a couch, bed, or lean in a closet when not in use. Two small wheels at the front of the treadmill make it easy to roll around, and the 70-pound weight is fairly easy to handle, especially when compared to other models that weigh 2-4 times as much.
The GoPlus is a relatively quiet treadmill, comparable to the other models I tested. Like most treadmills, the majority of the noise comes from your footfalls when walking or jogging on it.
This isn't likely the best treadmill for most people, but if you're looking for a convenient machine for walking or light jogging that stores easily, then the Goplus is a good option to consider. This treadmill is not made for serious running; instead, it is best suited for walking or power walking. Its folding handrail design provides versatility, allowing it to be used on its own or at a standing desk. Its compact design makes it particularly appealing to those with limited space, as it can be easily stored when not in use.
