Stamina InMotion II Manual Treadmill

I think this is the first time I have written a product review. I am very pleased with my purchase. I have been wanting to purchase a treadmill for a long time, but $1k just seemed to be too much for a student budget, plus, the hours that I have to exersize are usually early in the morning or later at night. Considering the dangers of working out alone in the dark outside, I have been puzzled as to what to do. I didn't want to buy a gym membership and get locked into paying something for 2 years (when moving is coming up in my future)and it would be difficult to motivate myself to drive there, etc. So when I found out about the manual treadmill, I jumped at the chance to own it at a decent price. I ordred the Stamina InMotion II and have used it a number of times. I set it up alone and have enjoyed the rigors of using it. It has built my endurance and helped me begin to lose weight I have carried for years. I highly recommend it to anyone who desires to get into shape or keep in shape. There is only one thing that is even close to being a bad thing about this treadmill, and that is on one of the handles, the holes for a screw didn't align to where it could be screwed in place. It doesn't bother me, though, since it is in a place that little to no pressure is being placed...it is probably just a factory defect on my piece alone, so I don't think it should be a reason not to purchase this treadmill.

I bought this treadmill because I don't have room for a massive, professional size treadmill nor did I want to spend hundreds of dollars. Because of the price I was expecting a very pared down version - just the basics - and that's what you get. It's not difficult to put together and it feels very sturdy. It folds up like a dream (very compactly) and is light enough to move around if you need to. The manual treadmill action takes a little getting used to and you just have to assume that it will take a few tries to get the belt to settle correctly without drifting, but once adjusted properly it seems to stay put. You can really only walk on this treadmill - it's not really designed for running as you have to hold on to keep it going. But this is good. The manual action requires a little more effort (not tons but a little) through the legs and hips and since you have to hold on to keep your body from moving backward (the treadmill is at a slant for the manual action) your arms get a light workout too. After only a few sessions I started noticing real firming in my legs, hips, rear and arms.

My only real complaint is this treadmill is pretty loud. I'm going to try some silicone spray to see if that quiets it down a little. As it is I have to crank up the TV super loud to be able to hear it while I'm working out.

But all and all, the price and quality of this product make it an excellent value. I'm very happy.

Had a little trouble getting the darn thing, was sent the first time without the hardware, but as usual Amazon handled the whole problem with no problems had the bad one picked up the new one delivered. It calls for two people to put it together but I did it by myself....and I'm a 60+ female. Works very well. I'm very pleased with it, for the money you can't beat it.

I've had this treadmill for about 3-4 months now, and wow. It's great, easy to store and move and works well. I use it while watching TV in my bedroom. I've already lost 20lbs! If you don't feel like going to the gym that day, use this manual treadmill instead! It's a great price and a great product. I'm 24 and female and put the treadmill together on my own in about 30 minutes. Very nice product! Highly recommended!

Fast Delivery. Easy set up. Works really well. I thought it'd be a lot quieter then it is, but it's definitely quieter then any of the motored ones.
