Can anyone recommend a treadmill please

[Sakura03]

I miss running (well jogging I suppose). My dc is 2 1/2 and I’ve worked out that I’ve not done any running for well over 3 years!!! I used to run first thing in the morning before going to work but now I’m a single mum with no support so I can’t just go out for a run and I don’t fancy getting a running buggy. I have been thinking about getting a treadmill for quite some time now but not sure where to get a decent one from without it costing an arm and a leg. Is it possible to get a half decent one for £400?🤔 I could then get up before my dc wakes that way it’s a bit of me time which I could really do with. Anyone got one they can recommend?

No one got a treadmill???

Hi I have a Branx treadmill. I got the elite runner pro, which is more than twice your budget. My criteria was: longevity, comfort, quality and it had to be foldable (though I don't actually fold it between uses). My son runs on it about half hour every day and I walk on it. It has up to date cushioning technology (think of your knees!).
I believe with treadmills you get what you pay for. The ones at your price range always look too flimsy and lightweight. Branx does do less expensive models and they are a good brand, so check them out.

I have this one and I love it especially as it folds flat and doesn’t take up too much space, a bit more than your budget though www.sweatband.com/viavito-lunarun-fold-flat-treadmill.html

Thank you both for your comments, not sure my budget will stretch to a Branx but the sweatband looks good.

I’ve got a standard Reebok one which wasn’t too far over £400 although this was a few years ago now. It’s still standing me well for a daily 5k in lockdown and has been sturdy enough for my needs although I can advise that letting a big heavy man use it did once result in a large bang and a new belt motor.

Thanks Ronnie27 I’ll the Reebok ones out. I’ve noticed a lot of treadmills appear to be out of stock at the moment though.

I've got a reebok one too. It's great. Got it second hand off gumtree just before lockdown.

choc27 great! I’ll checkout my local gumtree.

Hope you find one!

Tpull be lucky to find one in lockdown, I've been looking for months.

Whoops - * you'll be lucky

Try JTX Fitness, DH is really happy with his from there, had it 3 years, runs at higher speeds than his previous treadmill. He uses the treadmill daily.

Thank you everyone, now if only I could find a supplier that has treadmills in stock... the earliest delivery I’ve found so far is 22nd July...

I have a dynamic one. It's perfect and I think a few hundred. Had it years now.
What about looking on FB marketplace, gumtree etc?

Amazon have some for £350 mark delivery mid June?

@SailingatSea where did you buy yours?

Another vote for Reebok.

I think I paid about £350 for mine a few years back and it's still going strong with pretty much daily use.

Lots of places are OOS now thanks to gyms closing but I reckon once they open again the market for second hand barely used machines will be awash.

I've got a Reebok one too. Next are delivering them but they're pricier than other stores.

Thanks Thighmageddon I’ll have a look

I have a Branx folding treadmill on order from Amazon - it will be arriving in the first week of July. One of my friends has one and it is really good quality. I bought the one that costs £599.

LilyRose88 I’ve got my eyes on that one too, just got to take the plunge and go for it I think😬

Hi how did you get on with this? I am wondering if any of the fold away ones for £300-400 are any good?

Argos has got the Reebok Treadmills in stock again in my area, now I just need to decide on which one, Reebok ZR9 or the Jet 100🤔🤔🤔 anyone got one of them?

I have a reebok one got from here not sure what the price difference is with Argos though.
I would say it's really sturdy never had any problems with it
