looking to buy treadmill which model £800

No, I'll install it myself. Can't be too difficult especially as I work with electrical and mechanical every day.
Mine is going in the garage so I've added a rubber floor mat to the order to keep it directly off the concrete.

Good choice, can't fault mine. Make sure you have the front adjustment feet as mine were missing but they were sent out same day.

I didn't buy a mat instead I managed to get myself an end of  conveyor belt.it around 15mm thick.

Received it last Thursday and immediately built it up.
Absolutely love it, both the missus and I can't get enough of it. A really good purchase for us.
It feels solid, even at the maximum 20kph sprint I just tried though not for too long!

Out of interest, have you got yours set at the default mph or have you changed it to kph? I changed mine last night as it's easier for 5 and 10km runs.

Hi Gary,

I hope you are well.

I have been looking at this machine too, please can I ask a few questions?

Whats the floor noise like? I need some thing that will be quiet since I have neighbours below me.

What is the foot print when folded?

Can it be dismantled again if you needed to move?

Lastly what are Fitness Superstore like to buy from? Do they deliver and install?

Cheers

Phil.

Hi Phil,

I've got mine in my garage, place on a rubber mat on concrete. When running, especially at higher speeds you can hear the thumping of your feet as they hit the belt but I don't think there's a lot you can do about that. It'll be a case of getting the best mat you can for noise insulation though I'm not sure if you could isolate it fully?

When open, dimensions (in cm) are (L)197 x (W)86 x (H)132 and folded, (L)83 x (W)86 x (H)188.

You could easily dismantle it back to it's original shipping condition quite easily with the supplied allen keys though even at that it's very bulky, especially the main floor area which comes ready built.

Fitness Superstore were great, no problems at all. I believe they can offer an installation service for £85 IIRC but I just opted for their free delivery and put it together myself. It was a breeze, taking approximately one hour from unpacking, building and getting all the packaging together. It's quite a simple process and not something I'd be willing to pay for.

If you have anymore questions then please don't hesitate to ask

Thanks Gary. That really helps mate, thank you.

I understand it comes with free delivery but do you think its possible get the  unit into a car? Say a VW golf Mk6?

GaryMo

It's a very big and heavy box! (L)206 x (W)89 x (H)35 and 140KG.
Would you have a distance of just over 2M with the back seats folded down? You may be able to hang it out of the boot slightly but the weight would make it extremely awkward to get in and out.
Realistically it's a van or delivery.

Philw101

Wow! 140kg! . Yes I agree delivery would be best. Cheers Gary.

GaryMo

Haha, yes, definitely!
12 months interest is good too

Just run outside and get one in a few months! Find I get a far better workout outside. Since starting running outside my legs have had a heck of a lot more work than on the treadmill.
