Question 1 of 6
Why most walking pads end up under the sofa
Most people buy a walking pad full of good intentions, use it for a few weeks and then stop. It isn’t a lack of discipline. Advice like “just do 10,000 steps” doesn’t tell you when, how fast or how to fit it around work and family. A plan does.

Home Fitness Code walking pad FAQ
Will a walking pad actually help me lose weight?
A walking pad can help you move more every day, and more daily movement may support weight management alongside sustainable eating, sleep and other activity. Results vary from person to person, so the planner focuses on what you control: minutes, speed, incline and consistency.
How long should I walk on a walking pad each day?
Start where you are. If you mostly sit, 15 to 20 minutes a day in short blocks is a good first week, adding about 5 minutes a week. The HSE recommends that adults aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate activity a week, and brisk walking counts.
What speed should I use?
For working at a desk, about 2 to 3 km/h keeps typing comfortable. For a dedicated walk, 4 to 5.5 km/h is brisk for most people. You should be able to talk, but not sing.
Why use the incline?
Incline makes walking harder without going faster, so you work more without running or jogging. Most walking pad owners never use it. The Y1 and Y3 change incline automatically; the T7, Z3, C1 and Q8 have a manual 5% setting.
Is Home Fitness Code a legit company?
Home Fitness Code is an online fitness equipment retailer with a dedicated Irish store at ie.homefitnesscode.com. Orders for Ireland ship from Germany with free delivery, and the store lists a 30-day returns window and a one-year warranty. Check the current terms on the store before you order.
Which Home Fitness Code walking pad is quietest?
On the retailer’s own figures, the Z3 (under 30 dB) and the Q2 Pro (under 35 dB) are the quietest. In practice, footsteps on the belt make more noise than the motor, so a mat and a moderate pace help most in apartments.
Is the planner really free?
Yes. The planner and your 4-week plan are free. Emailing the plan is optional.
