      She wants to use a treadmill for the convenience factor.

        Agree it’s pretty inconvenient when they move the path you ran on yesterday and you have to stop and wait for them to reinstall.

      • Does she run at all? Sounds like a "I'll use the treadmill, I promise", and then it stays stored away with it's easy storage capabilities.

      No incline on these.
      Much easier to store than a standard treadmill though.

    Gumtree or FBM

    Plenty of folk who were in a similar situation to you 12 months ago are now offloading their unused treadmills. Negotiate hard and pick up a bargain.

    In 12 months time let the cycle continue.

    • Treadmills are basically worthless. Check out the second hand ones which sell for almost nothing.

  • If you could stretch your budget to $1.5k costco has some decent ones.. (we bought a proform a little while back - made by same company as Nordictrack)

    I've seen 4 or 5 treadmills out for hard rubbish in the last few days. I imagine they were in your price range when new.

    You can buy mine.. Bought it 4 years ago and haven't used it for more than 20 times. Haha

    Jokes a side, my mrs also wanted it and she hardly used it. We both walk outside now

  • Just wait for a few weeks. Gyms (in Melbourne) are reopening, and people will be offloading their iso equipment.

  • I'd consider an elliptical instead.

    It's easier on the knees compared to the treadmill over time.
