Compact auto-incline treadmill
The standard TM037 gets the price right. The TM037 Pro tackles the part you might soon wish you had paid extra for: changing the incline without getting off. At £299.99, it also adds side rails and a slightly longer belt, while keeping a low folding profile. That makes it an interesting middle ground for a small home.

What the Pro actually adds
WellFit uses the TM037 name across several products, but this is the version with the clearest functional changes. The incline adjustment is powered, the listed belt grows to 102 × 41 cm, and removable side rails join the front handrail.
The top speed rises to 7.5 mph (12 km/h), with an advertised user limit of 180 kg. Those increases are useful on a spec sheet, although we would still choose this primarily for walking and gentle jogging in a small room.
The practical attraction is the way the features fit together. You get incline adjustment during a session without committing to a conventional upright treadmill. If you want to walk uphill at home but have nowhere to leave a large machine, that is a sensible proposition.
Automatic incline, with one wording trap
The product page advertises a 0–12% incline range. The manual describes settings from 0 to 6, which includes the flat starting position and six raised settings.
WellFit also uses the phrase “incline and decline”. We found no documented negative gradient. In this context, read it as raising the deck and lowering it back towards flat, rather than expecting downhill running.
The appeal remains straightforward: vary the gradient without stopping to reposition support feet. If you enjoy a steady walk followed by a few uphill sections, that convenience is likely to matter more than an extra app mode.
Where powered incline makes a noticeable difference to convenience
Imagine a walk that starts flat, gradually climbs and finishes back on the level. With the standard TM037, changing the incline involves stopping and adjusting the support feet. The Pro lets you make that change from its controls, so varying the gradient can become part of an ordinary session rather than a job you decide whether to bother with.
That is why I would consider the upgrade for someone who already knows they enjoy incline walking. If you normally set one position and leave it there, the convenience may be worth less to you. The useful question is how often you would use powered adjustment, rather than whether 12% looks better than another model’s maximum in a comparison table.
A little more belt, rather than a full-size running deck
The 102 cm advertised belt length gives you roughly 10.6 cm more than the standard TM037. That is helpful, but it is still much shorter than the 140 cm belt on the TM029 Pro.
For a compact walking machine, the dimensions make sense. For regular running, consider whether your stride fits comfortably at your intended speed. The 7.5 mph maximum describes what the motor can be set to; it cannot tell you how much room you will have behind your feet.
WellFit’s page contains some rounded belt measurements in its comparison copy. We use the 102 × 41 cm figure repeated in its main product description and specifications. If every centimetre matters, ask for confirmation of the current stock rather than relying on an illustration.
Storage and moving it around
The listed folded dimensions are 136 × 63 × 17.5 cm, compared with an open height of 106 cm. The handrail folds down, so the machine has a much lower storage profile than an upright folding treadmill such as the TM015.
That makes under-bed storage possible in some homes, but measure the usable opening, not just the height from floor to mattress. Bed frames and internal supports can be the limiting factor.
At a listed 25.58 kg, it is lighter than the TM032’s current listed 33.85 kg. That is worth considering if the machine needs to move between a desk and another part of the room. It is still heavy enough that carrying it up stairs deserves a plan.
Side rails, controls and the motor claim
The supplied side rails are one of the useful Pro additions. They provide another place to steady yourself when getting on or off, and the manual explains their installation. Check that the completed setup fits your desk if that is where you intend to use it.
The manual supports console, remote and app control. WellFit also advertises a free app. A compatible third-party service may have separate fees, so check the app you actually intend to use.
The current listing describes Bosch motor technology and a 3.5 HP brushless motor. We have not independently verified continuous output or measured the noise. Motor specifications alone cannot predict footfall noise in your room, particularly if there are neighbours below.
What is useful about the brushless Bosch motor?
The brushless design uses electronics to switch the current instead of physical brushes, avoiding wear at that contact. That is a worthwhile inclusion on a compact machine you might use regularly. It also gives the Bosch motor claim some practical context beyond a large horsepower number.
For desk use, remember that motor sound is only part of what someone else hears. Your shoes meeting the belt and vibration passing through the floor can still matter. I would choose the room and floor position carefully, then treat a mat as floor protection and possible vibration reduction, rather than a promise of silence.
Using the TM037 Pro under a desk
The manual confirms two operating modes. With the handlebar folded down, walking mode runs from 1 to 6 km/h. Raise the handlebar and the available range becomes 1 to 12 km/h. The headline maximum therefore applies to the raised-handrail setup, not to walking underneath a desk.
There is a controls detail worth knowing too. In walking mode, the handlebar console controls are inactive; you use the remote or app. Keep the remote within easy reach instead of assuming you can use the folded console. The manual says to stop the treadmill before changing handlebar position to switch modes.
Check your working position as well as the floor space. Standing on the deck raises you above floor level, so the desk needs enough height for your keyboard and screen to sit comfortably. Check the side-rail arrangement, desk legs and cables, and make sure you can step on and off without squeezing through a narrow gap. The lowest folded height is a storage measurement, not a complete desk-compatibility guarantee.
A lubrication port makes routine care less fiddly
One useful detail in the Pro manual is a lubrication port on the right side rail. The instructions describe applying lubricant through that opening, which is a more convenient arrangement than relying solely on lifting the belt edge by hand. Follow the delivered manual for the appropriate amount and checks; more oil is not automatically better.
The manual also calls for lubrication before first use and recommends a ten-minute power-off break after two hours of operation. That matters if your idea is to walk through most of a working day. Plan breaks and keep the upkeep instructions handy, rather than treating a small home treadmill as equipment designed for uninterrupted commercial use.
TM037 Pro, standard TM037 or TM032?
| Model | Price | Main reason to choose it |
|---|---|---|
| TM037 | £159.99 | Keep the cost down for ordinary walking and flat storage. |
| TM037 Pro | £299.99 | Add powered incline, side rails and a little more belt length. |
| TM032 | £359.99 | Consider its adjustable handrail and higher top speed. |
| TM007 | £409.99 | Move to a wider belt and conventional upright folding layout. |
The standard TM037 is £140 cheaper before any discount code at the checked prices. For flat walking and easy storage, that saving is substantial. The Pro earns its premium if you will use the powered incline and want the extra side rails.
The TM032 is £60 more than the Pro at current list prices. It offers a higher top speed and adjustable handrail height, while the Pro is listed as lighter and steeper.
There is a specification wrinkle with that comparison: WellFit’s TM032 description says 112 × 43 cm for the running area, but its current specification panel says 101 × 42 cm. We would get the supplied TM032 version confirmed before spending more on the assumption that its deck is significantly longer.
For compact incline walking, the TM037 Pro is therefore a particularly interesting shortlist option. For running space, jump to comparing the TM007 and TM029 Pro.
My reason to choose the Pro
The most persuasive use case is a small home where the same machine needs to do flat desk walking and more purposeful incline sessions. You get powered gradient adjustment without the weight and standing storage shape of the TM007. If that describes your routine, the upgrade has a clear purpose.
If you simply want the least expensive way to get more steps while working, I would start with the standard TM037. If you want to run several times a week, I would spend time comparing deck sizes further up the range. The Pro earns its place through its compact mix of features, rather than trying to be the answer to every type of training.

Our verdict
A strong option to investigate for compact incline walking. The automatic adjustment is a meaningful upgrade over the standard TM037; the short deck still makes walking and gentle jogging its most natural roles.
Check today’s price at WellFitFrequently asked questions
Compared with the standard TM037, the Pro adds automatic incline, side rails, a longer advertised belt, a higher listed user limit and a higher maximum speed. It also costs more and is heavier.
The documented range starts at 0% and rises to an advertised 12%. Despite wording about incline and decline on the listing, we found no documented negative gradient.
The TM037 Pro is listed as lighter, cheaper and steeper, while the TM032 has a higher top speed and adjustable handrail height. WellFit publishes conflicting TM032 deck measurements, so confirm the current version if belt size decides the purchase.
It overlaps both categories, with a folding handrail and a maximum listed speed of 7.5 mph (12 km/h). Its 102 × 41 cm belt makes it most appealing for walking and gentle jogging in limited space.

Why the TM037 Pro scores 4.0/5
At £299.99 before any discount code, the TM037 Pro combines automatic incline, a folding handrail and low storage height in a useful walking-first package. It is lighter than the TM007, although 25.58 kg still needs thought when moving it. The short belt, £140 premium over the standard TM037 and limited component cover temper the upgrade case. The score reflects compact incline walking, not sustained running.
