Customer story
Sanne (34) from Utrecht thought moving took time she didn't have. Now she walks every morning during her first call. In the evening, the treadmill slides right back under the couch. No gym, no guilt. Just ten minutes that make her day just a little different.

A quick look at the RunningPad Pro: unfold it, set it up and start walking right away.
More calorie burn, stronger muscles and less strain on your joints — why 13% automatic incline takes your training to a higher level.
Losing weight for summer without hours at the gym? 10,000 steps a day already makes all the difference, effortlessly from your living room.
The days are getting shorter and winter is coming — this is my personal plan to keep hitting my daily 10,000 steps even in the dark months.
Our story
SportsHero started with a simple frustration: moving shouldn't have to be a project. No membership, no clearing out an entire room, no guilt when it doesn't work out for a while.
So we built design-focused, compact machines that fit real homes and busy lives · and that make daily life more fun, easier and more energetic. Because those who move, live, even if it's just ten minutes between two meetings.
It's no coincidence we share that belief: Niek and Karlijn are brother and sister, with the same mission since home.
"I thought exercise was for other people. Now it's just part of my morning · like coffee."
