To ask for your treadmill recommendations?

Living in a v large bedroom in a flatshare right now, and would be keen to get a treadmill to encourage me to exercise more. Anyone have any good recommendations? I would buy a sound reducing mat too to lessen noise/disturbance. Would also appreciate advice on whether this is feasible! (Or I can just join a gym!)

I wouldn't bother with a treadmill- you can pop out for a quick run.I'd get one of those cross trainer things If you've not run before this would be better for you as you would be less impact and likelihood of injury- oh and it wouldn't make as much noise as a treadmill!

Are you on the ground floor? I have one that cost £800 or £900 and I wouldn't like anything more flimsy. And i make a right noise on it, I'd be worried in a flat!

oops- excuse the missing punctuation; my keyboard is dodgy!

I bought a Nordic one for just under £1k. It's fine, but I wouldn't want anything flimsier (though I'm a hefalump). Maybe try a cross trainer? A skipping rope gives an incredible workout for a tiny price (but hard!).

I have just bought a spinning bike - quiet and really sturdy. Would def recommend - and not as bulky as a treadmill

I'm sure I've seen somewhere where you can rent gym equipment so that you can try it out and decide if you want to buy it.

If you're on a budget, I have noticed that the bigger kinds of charity shop that sell large furniture have gluts of treadmills around February. Just saying...

Hey Smile,

You can go for weslo cadence g 5.9 treadmill, it is available at a very cheap price of 299$ and will provide you with many cardio workout options. Its one among the most popular treadmill and has been trusted by more than 5000+ customers.

Found this link which tells clearly everything about this treadmill in detail www.treadmillreviewguru.com/weslo-cadence-g-5-9-treadmill-review/

You can also try Merax JK1603e which costs 100$ less than this one, but it has been considered as weak treadmill for very light usage by customers.

Hope this info helps everyone out, confused related to choosing a treadmill.

Thanks.

I'd recommend keeping an eye on gumtree or eBay. I have a karrimor one which was still in the shops for £650 for £80 still in its box 10 miles down the road. It just about fit in my boot (SUV). It has electronic incline, programmes, iPod connection, and is fast enough to run on. Bargain and there were others popping up relatively frequently.
