Stamina InMotion Treadmill

Which I am. This will kick your fanny cause it's all you-- not a motor. Cheap, easy to set up and folds up for storage. Not too heavy and moves around on wheels. I recommend it.

Yes, it's easy to put together. And I agree that it folds up nicely and stays out of the way. I will even agree that it's sturdy. Maybe I just got a lemon. Despite many attempts, I have never been able to get the belt away from the left side at the front of the treadmill. The directions tell you how to adjust the way the belt runs -- but the adjustment only affects how it runs at the *back* of the treadmill -- not the front. And perhaps the belt issue is why the thing is so incredibly uneven. It comes to a complete stop at times -- as if it's hanging on some rough spot underneath. As soon as I compensate to get it past the rough spot, it goes much faster -- and my foot flies off the back end. Charming. I read the little tag that says you can spray silicone spray underneath the belt to make it smoother, so I went out and got some (annoying, why couldn't they just make it work and/or include the spray?). It was very difficult to spray underneath the belt -- it's very tight. But... Read more

This is an excellent machine, easy to assemble even for someone born without the hardware gene. No bells and whistles, just a treadmill with two angles of inclination. It doesn't take up as much space as one of those treadmills at the gym, although it's just as sturdy, and it folds up easily (to put in a closet or lean up again a wall) if you need to get it out of the way. A good, solid no-frills product.

Here's the problem: If the machine you receive has a faulty piece, and you need a substitute piece, you are in trouble. The substitute pieces are NOT MADE TO THE SAME SPECS as the original pieces. Here is my story: I ordered the Stamina 45-1000A manual treadmill on April 10 and received it on April 17. When I started to put it together, the very first piece I needed to use (one of the "feet") had one of its holes in the wrong place. So I called the Stamina support line, got a very nice woman named Phyllis, and she said they'd send me a new piece. (Fortunately, I had the foresight to get her name and extension in case I had to call back for more help.) A week later, the new foot came. Only the metal part (and not the plugs or the wheel) was enclosed, so I had to take those off the faulty foot and put them on the new one. The ... Read more

belt didn't fit properly and would move around making exercising difficult and dangerous.
