The A1 Pro is WalkingPad's step up from the C2 for people who spend more of the day walking. Its 3.75 HP brushless motor is the strongest among the folding pads here, and WalkingPad states it operates at under 65 dB, which gives call-heavy workers a number to plan around rather than a vague promise. The walking area is 47 by 16.5 inches, a little wider than the C2, and it folds from 56.5 to 32.5 inches long like its sibling. WalkingPad sells it in 230 lb and 300 lb capacity versions, so heavier users have an option the C2 lacks. Speed tops out at 3.75 mph with no incline, which is fine for desk walking but limits workouts. At 5 inches tall it keeps most of your desk height. It weighs 63 lbs, arrives fully assembled and carries a 1-year warranty. At $499 on sale, it costs $100 more than the C2 for the stronger motor, wider deck and noise rating.
