Rosehip Nov 2022 9:05pm, 3 Nov 2022 27,021 posts	0 Rosehip I was going to investigate the gym treadmills this morning, but unusually they were both in use (it was p&ssing down outside) One has a decent gradient and the other is one of the weird, curved self propelling ones. I may find them useful now I don’t have the room I was going to use for one at home.

I've gone as far as telling my brother and his partner that after their visit at the end of this month they'll be staying in a hotel from now on as the only furniture in the spare bedroom will be a treadmill! I'm finding it all very confusing about what to buy. I want to buy locally so that I can have it delivered and set up. Prices range from £1,000 to £4,000. I want a decent one, but I'm only intending to use it when the weather is too risky for outdoor running, so £4,000 is out of the question. I think I'll go at the weekend and have a look at them instore.

Ness Nov 2022 7:05am, 4 Nov 2022 26,091 posts	0 Ness Good idea to take a look at treadmills in a store if you can, Tikka Even if you then go away and find a model with the same specifications online. I also think being sure you're ok with its maintenance is important. (Mr Ness used to do all the checking the belt etc. on ours) Nevertheless, I still think it's worth having.
Tikka Nov 2022 9:32am, 4 Nov 2022 346 posts	0 Tikka In the absence of Mr Ness, I will need someone to carry it upstairs for me, set it up and tell me how it works - it’s at least 8 years since I was last on a treadmill in a gym!
