Using a treadmill in a flat
- Use a thick rubber treadmill mat to cut vibration.
- Walking is far quieter than running for downstairs neighbours.
- Check delivery terms: treadmills are heavy, so ask for room-of-choice delivery if you live upstairs.
- Leave about 2 metres clear behind the deck for safety.

Frequently asked questions
What motor power do I need?
As a rough guide, about 1.5 continuous horsepower for walking, 2 to 2.5 for jogging, and 2.5 or more for regular running.
What belt size do I need for running?
Look for about 130 cm long by 45 cm wide or more for comfortable running. Shorter, narrower belts are fine for walking.
