Do you have a treadmill at home?

I have been mostly running outdoors this year (and previously mostly in the gym). With the cold and wet season approaching, I am thinking of buying a treadmill. Does anyone have any recommendations? Are foldable ones any good or quite flimsy?

Hi, I looked into them in March and wasn't convinced that for my budget I could get something robust enough....decided on a cross-trainer in the end so I could use it on non-run days, lower impact on me and the machine.

I have one. It's foldable and it's brilliant. It's very sturdy, not flimsy at all.

@catnoir1 could you please share more details on where you bought it and the make? Thanks!

Can anyone tell me whether they are okay to use upstairs or need to be on the ground floor due to all the pounding?

I have the reebok jet 100.

@Thedogisdrivingmemad I wouldn't use it upstairs.

I got it in Argos. Sorry forgot to add that part in my reply

I bought one from decathlon during lockdown for around £250- was on it today. It's great!

Yes, we have a whole gym as couldn't justify spending over 100pm for us to use the gym. It also saves me a 30 minute drive (that i can't do myself i need dh as i cannot drive) we have a treadmill, bike, weights, rowing machine and a cross trainer. Goes in one of the spare bedrooms.
