Range guide
Home Fitness Code sells four walking pads, and the differences between them are bigger than the near-identical product photos suggest: two are brushless and genuinely quiet, two are not, two can jog and two cannot. This guide compares all four, explains which one suits desk work, and covers the ownership questions owners actually ask, from weight limits to belt oiling.

The four pads in 30 seconds
All four slide under a standing desk, arrive assembled or nearly so, and cost between £89.99 and £119.99 at current sale prices. The quick way to choose: pick by noise and by whether you ever want to jog.
A quick note on scope before choosing. This page covers the four flat, under-desk pads. If you want powered incline or a machine you can properly run on, those live in the same catalogue under different letters: the Y and Q8 series, covered in our Home Fitness Code treadmill guide. And if you are still weighing up whether the brand itself is worth buying from, our Home Fitness Code brand guide covers the company, the warranty and the reviews picture; the short version is that it is a legitimate UK-registered budget retailer whose honest trade-off is a 12-month warranty rather than anything sinister.
Home Fitness Code walking pads compared
| Model | Best for | Top speed | Motor | Noise | RunRank | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q2 Pro | Quiet all-rounder | 6.2 mph | Brushless | <35 dB | 3.9 | £119.99 £249.99 |
| C1 | Best value | 6.2 mph | Brushed | <50 dB | 3.7 | £99.99 £189.99 |
| Z3 | Quietest | 3.7 mph | Brushless | <30 dB | 3.6 | £99.99 £169.99 |
| T7 | Cheapest | 3.7 mph | Brushed | <40 dB | 3.4 | £89.99 £169.99 |
All four are rated for users up to 120 kg and are also sold as folding versions with a handrail. Noise figures are the manufacturer’s motor ratings. RunRank scores are our own editorial assessment, not customer ratings.
Home Fitness Code Q2 Pro
£249.99£119.99
The one most people should look at first. Its brushless motor is what separates it from the cheaper pads: quieter, smoother, and without the brush wear that kills budget motors early. Walking mode covers 0.6 to 3.7 mph (1 to 6 km/h) for desk use, and running mode extends to 6.2 mph (10 km/h) for a light jog. The honest limits are no incline of any kind and the basic LED feature set. Our full Q2 Pro review covers noise, the flat versus folding decision and how it compares with the C1.
Home Fitness Code C1
£189.99£99.99
The value argument in the range. For £20 less than the Q2 Pro the C1 matches its 6.2 mph (10 km/h) top speed, adds the 5% manual incline the Q2 Pro lacks, and brings an LCD console. What you give up is refinement: the brushed motor is rated under 50 dB rather than under 35 dB, so it is the wrong pick for a shared office or a room where someone is on calls. In a spare room or garage where noise does not matter, it is the smarter £99.99.
Home Fitness Code Z3
£169.99£99.99
The specialist. Under 30 dB is the lowest motor rating in the range, the 9.7 cm profile is the slimmest to slide away, and at 13 kg it is the lightest to move. The deliberate trade is the 3.7 mph (6 km/h) ceiling: this is a walker, full stop, with no jogging headroom. If it will live under a desk in a quiet office and never be asked to do more, the Z3 is arguably the best-matched machine here.
Home Fitness Code T7
£169.99£89.99
The entry point, and among the cheapest named-brand pads sold in the UK. It walks at up to 3.7 mph (6 km/h) with a 5% manual incline and an LED readout, and that is the whole story. As a £89.99 way to find out whether desk walking sticks, it does the job; if it does stick, the Z3 buys silence and the Q2 Pro buys speed for £10 to £30 more. Owners upgrading is common enough that we would point most buyers at the C1 from the start.
Colours: yes, the pink ones are real
All four pads are sold in black or pink at the same price, in both flat and folding versions. Stock of the pink colourway comes and goes more than the black, so if pink is the point, buy when you see it rather than waiting for a sale.
Weight limits, honestly
Every pad on this page is rated to 120 kg (around 18 st 12 lb). Treat that as a real engineering limit rather than a suggestion: running close to or over it accelerates belt and motor wear and can void the warranty. If you are near 120 kg, the sensible move is up the range rather than off the brand: the Y1 is rated to 145 kg, and the Y3, Q8 and Q8 Pro to 150 kg, all for under £250. Heavier users are also better served by the stronger frames in our best walking pads guide.
Care basics: belt, oiling and the remote
Frequently asked questions
Which Home Fitness Code walking pad is best?
For most buyers, the Q2 Pro. Its brushless motor makes it quiet enough for calls and it doubles as a light jogger. The C1 is the value alternative if noise does not matter, the Z3 is the pick if silence matters more than speed, and the T7 is the cheapest way in.
Do Home Fitness Code walking pads have incline?
The C1, Z3 and T7 have a 5% manual incline, set by hand at the rear feet; the Q2 Pro has none. For powered incline you need the Y1 or Y3, which offer up to 12% auto incline and are covered in our treadmill guide.
What is the weight limit on a Home Fitness Code walking pad?
120 kg on all four pads. The Y1 (145 kg), Y3, Q8 and Q8 Pro (all 150 kg) take heavier users.
Can you run on a Home Fitness Code walking pad?
You can jog on the Q2 Pro and C1, which reach 6.2 mph (10 km/h) in running mode, best used with the handrail on the folding versions. The Z3 and T7 cap at 3.7 mph and are walkers only. For proper running, the Q8 and Q8 Pro are the machines built for it.
How do I oil a Home Fitness Code walking pad?
Lift each edge of the belt and run a thin line of the included silicone oil along the underside, then walk on the pad at low speed for a few minutes to spread it. Repeat roughly monthly with regular use. Only use silicone treadmill oil, never household oils.
Are the pads different from the folding treadmill versions?
Same machines. The folding version of each pad adds a screw-in handrail with controls and folds for storage, usually within £10 to £20 of the flat price and sometimes cheaper on sale. The motor, deck and speeds do not change.
Is Home Fitness Code legit?
Yes: a UK-registered budget retailer with 30-day returns and a 12-month warranty. The full company picture, including what owner reviews praise and criticise, is in our brand guide.
Ready to pick your pad?
The Q2 Pro is the quiet all-rounder, the C1 the value pick, the Z3 the silent specialist and the T7 the cheap way in. Or compare them against every pad on the market before you commit.
