Treadmill recommendation?

[Enzosmum]

Gym has closed so will need to buy a cheap treadmill ASAP! Any recommendations gratefully received please!

Thank-you

Is it possible instead for you to try running solo outside?

Sorry I don't have any recommendations for tread mills but I was online yesterday looking at gym equipment and the online store said that delivers were delayed by 10 days due to huge demand, a bit of a wait, still!

[Enzosmum Graduate in reply to pippkins]

Thanks Pippkins in that case might have to take a risk on eBay 😳 My gym only closed on Friday and already I’m feeling procrastination creeping in 😫

Maybe try running outside - that's still permitted at least for now. That said, I ordered a treadmill about 10 days ago! It wasn't super expensive from John Lewis but stocks are loe

[Enzosmum Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

Thanks Roxdog may I ask which one you purchased please?

[Roxdog Graduate in reply to Enzosmum]

It's out of stock I think atm but it is the pro-form 305 cost. It's foldable, but pretty large! It does work pretty well though. Needs some assembly which was tricky!

[Roxdog Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

Sorry typos. Pro-Form 305 CST

[Enzosmum Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

Thanks Roxdog - looks like I’ve left it too late as JL and Argos have sold out on their more affordable versions 😫

I have an amazing treadmill..........it cost nothing, uses none of the planet's scarce resources to make it and it is just outside my front door, providing a different experience every time I go on it. It doesn't break down or take up space in my house, has added vitamin D, guaranteed fresh air, variable inclines for strength training and is surrounded by amazing natural wonders that I would not have ever noticed had I stayed indoors.

Did I say, it is free..........it is also freedom.

That doesn't work in Spain currently where I am - complete lockdown as you probably know. The treadmill we have in the apartment here is INVALUABLE and I feel very lucky to have it.

[Roxdog Graduate in reply to IannodaTruffe]

Absolutely agree - but it's a precautionary measure- in some countries people are just not allowed out just now! Stay safe and well!

"I'm looking for a cheap car, can someone recommend one?"

"Why not use a BIKE, or a SCOOTER, or better still, WALK?"

Honestly! The poster is asking for suggestions for a cheap treadmill .... why then do people have to recommend running outdoors instead?

I don't get it.

Sorry Enzosmum ... just had to get that off my chest.

I too would be interested in cheap treadmill recommendations.

PS I enjoy running outdoors but due to lockdown conditions in Spain, I'm unable to run (or even walk) outdoors.

What price is considered cheap?

[Enzosmum Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Less than £350

[Tasha99 Graduate]

My recommendation is to run outside!

[Hidden in reply to Tasha99]

The question is about Treadmills, not running outside.

[Tasha99 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I know. I can read. She did ask for my recommendations though 🤣 Although I'm now also looking at treadmills. Gives me shudders to think we'll be trapped inside.

[Hidden in reply to Tasha99]

I'll be very bored stuck in the house 🙄

[John_W Graduate Ambassador in reply to Tasha99]

See my post above. Try running outdoors in Spain currently and you'll be fined 100 euros. That *may* be coming to the UK soon ...
