Is it realistic to expect to fold this up when not in use? Or does it really need to be left out?

It does fold quite easily but it's not something we do often - only when cleaning. I'm not sure how reliable the folding mechanism is for continued folded storage. It is a wonderful treadmill that we have had for about three years. Good luck!

It has never been folded up since it has been purchased. I don't know if I ever knew that it could be folded up?

The walking platform will fold up and locks but it doesn't really free up much more space that way. It's worth the space it uses though. It's an awesome machine!

Yes, it folds pretty easily. Has hydraulics which allows you to almost do it single handed. It is a good, sturdy treadmill.

It does not fold. I have it in my garage, so space is not an issue. Storage assumes that it isn't in use. I leave mine set up and ready, with a rubber mat under it.

Fold it over? No, the bottom is made of very heavy board. Maybe someone can cut off a part, which obviously means you would lose the slots you cut out.

It's cardboard so if it's outside any moisture, even dew, will be a problem. I think it could be folded over and over a lot. If you do use it outdoors, do it once the dew has evaporated and bring it in before dew begins to collect again in the evening.

We leave ours up all the time but it is definitely not heavy if you have to fold it away. I have a bad back and I find the weight ok

Yes, we've done that. It folds up easily and locks nicely in position. You'll hear a bit of rattling around back there but nothing to worry about.

It is very easy to fold up and roll it away for storage..I didn't use the cover that came with it-that was giving me a headache so I just store it without it

Yes, it folds up, however, storing it is a matter of personal taste. It does not really just move out of the way unless you strategically set it up to.

you do not have to take it apart to fold it. Each panel has specific slots so be careful when assembling

I keep it out, but it seems to be easy to fold and store. However, if you are small or weak I would say don't try to do it (I'm thinking of my 65 year old mother). But if you are healthy, it should be fine.

Answer to the question. Unfortunetly it does not fold for storage you need to take it apart.

Yes it will fold up... It has a spring loaded pin, and you have to remove the bottom tray... It don't look like too much work. I hope this helps!

It does not fold up. It requires adjusting with a wrench, so you should just plan on leaving it out all the time. I converted my office to a workout room and have this along with a few other select pieces of equipment.

Hallo Sue, why fold it up at all? Mine stays up all year round, oops, I mean I don't fold it up at all. Still in good shape after several years.Jerry

It can be folded or perhaps more appropriately it could be rolled up and stored, it isn't rigid.

It comes folded, so you would just do the reverse of how you put it up. However, it is not something I would put up and down everyday. We use it in the house during the winter and put it away for the summer.

I keep mine folded in a box and take it out for health fairs when I need it and it's never really wrinkled much. Nothing that doesn't fall out when it gets on the table. It's shape is a little awkward to fold but still workable.
