Home Fitness Code C1 vs Q2 Pro: Which Walking Pad Should You Choose?
Part of the GymBunny Walking Pad Reviews library. See the full Home Fitness Code brand review for the rest of the range.
The C1 and Q2 Pro are Home Fitness Code’s two most-compared entry-level models. Based on the retailer’s own listed specifications, they’re closer than you might expect: the real differences come down to incline, motor type and noise, not headline numbers like speed or weight capacity.
Updated: 5 August 2026. Specifications checked against the retailer’s current Irish product pages.

How This Comparison Was Created
This is a specification-led comparison built from the specs, pricing and options listed on Home Fitness Code’s own Irish product pages. It is not a hands-on side-by-side test of both units.
- Specifications are taken from retailer product listings, checked 5 August 2026.
- Where a figure is described as “retailer-listed”, GymBunny has not independently measured it.
- Prices, stock and specifications can change: confirm on the product page before buying.

Head-to-Head Scorecard
A visual read of the table above. A “winner” chip only appears where the retailer-listed numbers show a real, meaningful gap: most specs are close enough to call a tie, and we’ve labelled them that way rather than manufacturing a winner.
Top speed
TieIdentical, retailer-listed speed range on both models.
Incline
C1 winsThe only category with a clear-cut winner: the Q2 Pro simply doesn’t offer incline.
Noise level
Q2 Pro winsShorter bar is quieter. Bar length scaled against a 60dB reference; figures are retailer-stated, not independently measured by GymBunny.
List price (RRP)
C1 winsShorter bar is the lower RRP. Both are currently listed from the same €99.99 sale price: check the retailer for the current figure.
Portability (net weight)
Essentially tiedOnly 0.5kg apart: not a meaningful difference in practice.
Max user weight
TieIdentical, retailer-listed capacity on both models.
The Differences That Actually Matter
Once you strip out the specs that are identical on both models, three things genuinely separate the C1 from the Q2 Pro.
Incline
The C1 has a 5% manual incline, letting you increase intensity without walking faster. The Q2 Pro doesn’t offer incline at all, so if that matters to you, the C1 is the only one of the two that has it.
Motor and noise
The Q2 Pro uses a brushless motor and is retailer-rated under 35dB, versus a brush motor and under 50dB on the C1. If you’re taking calls nearby or living in a flat with shared walls, that’s a meaningful practical difference.
List price
Both are currently listed from the same starting price, but the Q2 Pro has a higher RRP (€279.99 vs €269.99), suggesting Home Fitness Code positions it as the slightly more premium of the two.
Which One Should You Choose?
Choose the C1 if…
- You want manual incline as an option
- Noise is a lower priority (e.g. a detached home office)
- You want the lower of the two RRPs
Choose the Q2 Pro if…
- Quiet operation is your priority: video calls, apartments, shared walls
- You don’t need incline
- You want the brushless motor Home Fitness Code positions as its quieter, longer-lasting option
