"Anybody own a treadmill? Recommendations? Horror stories?"


          

Thinking about taking the plunge, but I'm worried about maintenance. I just can't make it to the gym like I used to, and running outside at night is WPS.

this guy in my neighborhood is on his every Saturday and Sunday morning. We almost crashed when we saw him the first time. What makes it even more crazy is dude rocks a wrestling singlet while on this thing. Yes he is Caucasian.

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

In response to Reply # 0


          

both are around $1100-1200 including shipping and are incredible conditioning tools, with zero impact. I have a skierg at home and I love it. You can mount it to the wall or buy the platform and attach it to that, and then it rolls around. The rowers can be stood up against the wall when not in use as well(If space is a concern).

corner. I was considering it because I can be given a nice one and was wondering if it's worth taking up the space.

We have an elliptical. It acts as a clothes hanger.

We also have 3 gym memberships that we actually use.

I liked my elliptical and I still use it from time to time, but honestly its collecting dust.

hasn't been used in years. probably over a decade...

i used it once... was really loud when I ran, so didn't use it again. i would recommend putting it in the basement.

Easier on the knees. Like most people here, it collects dust every now and then. However, you seem like you're motivated to run so that shouldn't be an issue for you.
