History

KingSmith says it was founded in Beijing, China, in 2015, with a mission to help people live healthier lives by creating innovative fitness solutions. Its account of the brand’s beginnings emphasizes folding equipment designed to be compact, convenient, and easy to store. The company explains the name “Smith” as reflecting a commitment to making products with care and precision. Rather than presenting exercise equipment as something that must occupy a dedicated room, KingSmith’s stated approach is to fit fitness into modern everyday routines. A defining early product was the Walking Pad. According to the company’s timeline, the first Walking Pad launched in 2018 through Xiaomi’s crowdfunding platform. KingSmith says its simple, space-saving design helped it become one of China’s best-selling fitness products, with high rankings on JD.com and Tmall. The WalkingPad name has since been associated on the company’s official storefront with foldable treadmills for walking, working, and running at home. In 2021, KingSmith introduced the X21 Treadmill, which the company describes as bringing a vertical-folding design. This development continued the brand’s focus on storing exercise equipment compactly when not in use. The current official storefront also features folding water rowers, including tri-fold models, along with home strength-training products and a foldable exercise bike. These offerings broaden the brand beyond treadmills while remaining consistent with its space-saving home-fitness proposition. The company’s website reports 264 patents, presence in 87 territories, and more than 1.7 million units sold. These are company-reported figures, and the supplied evidence does not provide further detail about their calculation or dates. The official storefront offers shipping, returns, and warranty information for its online customers. The available sources do not identify the founders by name, a parent or owner, a specific current headquarters, or named company executives. They also do not establish a listing status.
