In the fight to defeat the Covid 19 pound gain, this is a god send!
I had been thinking for months to get a small indoor treadmill, ever since my office moved and I lost my "Gym in the building" convenience factor, which really hits you hard in the winter. I mean, who wants to leave their warm house and sofa to get in the car to drive to the gym during a snow storm. I didn't execute on the idea thought until it became clear that we were all going to be confined to our homes for weeks on end.
And am I happy I bought this. So far it's performing well. I will say a few things (none of it will make me give it less stars):
1. I bought it specifically to walk on, I did not buy it to run on. I think it's fantastic for walking and it's great to break a good walking sweat as well.
2. The "speed" mileage thingy is way off. No question about it. As a gym goer, I am keenly aware what my walking speed is and what my running speed is. Let's just say at 5.6 mph at the gym, I be getting into a running mode for sure....that's my fast walk on this little darling. Do I care? No. I am breaking a sweat and I didn't intend to buy it for running. That being sad, if you crush out mileage and are a hardcore runner, this might not be the right treadmill for you. If you are a slow jogger, you could run on this, but don't try to emulate the 10mp speed when you get back to the gym. Wipe out potential would be high.
3. Distance monitoring: Also a bit whack on machine, but that's why I have my trusted fit bit.
All in all, it does exactly what I want it to do.
1. It seems to be well made. Heavy, but still able to move it around rather easily. 100% fits under bed or sofa. Brilliant!
2. It is quiet! I can use it in my apartment's spare room while watching a movie and no one can even hear me or it move. That's AWESOME.
3. I break my sweat and get my 6 miles a day in.
