Exerpeutic400 Lb. Capacity Heavy-Duty Walking/Jogging Exercise Treadmill - Home Gym Workout Equipment - Foldable Under Desk Design

UPDATE: A YEAR LATER!!Hi everyone it has been a wonderful healthy year on my treadmill desk. I lost weight, almost 20 lbs, which is all I had to lose. I am now as thin as I was as a teenager, and that was over 20 years ago. The treadmill has held up well and I log about 6 miles a day on it..wonderful!!! Everyone who has a desk job should get one of these. It has given me more energy as well.I just received this treadmill three days ago, and it was a cinch to set up, just a few minutes and I was up and walking. My main purpose for this treadmill is for a treadmill desk, and I need a model that is very quiet at low speed and can deliver consistent speed. I looked at every treadmill on the market, and this one won me over because of the controls on the handlebars, so i don't have to make room on my desk for a bulky control console, and its claim of being quiet. It is so quiet that i can hear my kids in the next room, the radio is at a normal volume and I can still hear myself think. Thank you Exerpeutic for delivering on that promise! This treadmill can handle up to 400 lbs, and the designers put a lot of thought into the dimensions of this design. It has a wide belt, and extremely sturdy side arms, plus lots of room in front of the console. I also like that it only can go up to 4 miles per hour, plenty fast for a brisk walk. I do not intend to jog or run on it, so that was not a negative for me. I have assembled my desk at just below elbow height, above the handlebars (the console I ended up mounting upside down,to fit it under the desk, since I only use the handlebar controls). I am 5'4 and it may not work for a shorter person unless you get a desk specifically designed for a treadmill. The length of the belt is relatively short, but honestly I am only using about half of the length. A very tall person walking very fast(faster than I jog!) might need a longer belt, but for most people this should fit the bill. I typed this review from my treadmill desk, and I couldn't be more pleased with this treadmill. Great walking treadmill!

So when I bought this about a month ago I was really excited about it & saved 9 months for this treadmill. The box it came in is extremely huge. I didn't expect that! The weight I did expect though, aside from that the walking on it is amazing. I bought this because my surgeon and my family doc told me to walk every day. I have been walking on this because in my neighborhood it is not a good area. & two the weather changes rapidly and sporadically. Either hot or too cold and rainy. So I bought this and really hoped it would work and be a breeze to put together. It turns out it was a breeze to put together, since I READ THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL to put it together. Granted there are some parts in this that are heavy. But I put it together by myself! YAY! & I'm a woman. ;) So to any women saying it's too heavy, yes but you have to read how much it weighs too and esp. still in box. Without box it's 75 lbs or more. With box it came in it's 150 lbs. So I can fold it or not. I prefer to not fold it though.I have been walking on it ONLY. It says NO RUNNING! I am trying to lose weight, since I know my body better than anyone else or a doc. It really works with the heart rate. But once I take my hands off the heart rate monitors on both sides of handle bars & it has to restart the heart rate at 70 beats per second. Speed can be easily turned up or down.Couple days ago I have Err 3 on it but just started pressing buttons and it went away. Probably not best thing to of done but oh well it got the message away. Haven't had that message since then and I am recording my calories everyday that I walk. Which is fine with me because that's how I want my status of my calories that I have walked in four wks. I don't know if I'm losing weight or not because I DO NOT have a weight machine to stand on. So I don't know.But in the past walking has been positive for me to lose weight, so it has worked for me and I know I have do cardio a lot. I have NO complaints about this yet! So I will update in the next 3 months with this.So far I recommend this to anyone wanting to walk a lot! Or get active again from a sedentary lifestyle. It will definitely get your butt moving. :) Have fun with buying this. Also nothing broken when it came. UPS guy accidentally made a hole in the box with his large dolly but he was having to struggle with getting it in my home. So I understand.
