“This is a fantastic treadmill. I no longer sit at my desk. I walk comfortably while I work on my computer. I feel so much fitter and my back and hip problems have disappeared. Now everyone in my office wants one. I highly recommend it and it is a fantastic price.”
“Was skeptical at first, as the thought of working at desk 8/9 hours a day, having numerous conf calls, and typing constantly would make this unpractical. How wrong I was! I'm very pleased to report, after an hour or two, I quickly got the hang of it and was soon working away, not even thinking about the fact I was walking!
I walked an impressive 18 miles in the first two days - usually I would of only managed about one mile in same time frame.
I am 6,2' and quite wide. I Find the belt plenty wide enough and the length fine once I position it right. It easily stands up against the wall if I need the space back, and seems a solid construction. Assembly was easy, just needed to plug it in and start walking.
The speed goes up to a fast jog, and low enough for you to hardly feel you are moving. I have settled on 3.5KPH - this is comfortable enough for me to work/type/speak, but high enough for me to quickly build up the miles.
It has 3 incline settings. I use middle one to provide some 'real life' resistance.
To give a balanced review, it is only right I highlight some areas that I think could improve treadmill for UK users (see below). These haven't caused me any issues, but would improve product IMO.
Stops after 1hr - machine stops 60 mins in. This is annoying as I need to record distance/speed/cals every time (if you are interested in knowing your workout stats)
Speed and distance are measured in KPH/KMs and not MPH/Miles - I have put together a spreadsheet that converts into imperial, but would rather have it in correct measurements in first place.
Over inflated Cals burned - I walked 12 miles yesterday and it reckoned I'd burned 2945 cals - great if correct, but I probably burned 50% of this in reality (based on walks I do outside using Garmin/Fitbit to measure cals burned)
Don't let any of that put you off though. I am very happy with purchase and can't rate it highly enough - would give more stars if I could! I really believe that this will be a game changer for me and should hopefully really improve my fitness and health.They say sitting all day is as bad for your health as smoking - well, no more cigarettes for me!”
