BH Fitness CTV Gym Folding Treadmill

Advantages: Exercise for the unfit.....with advanced features for the fitter
Disadvantages: Doesn't remember last session stats | Manual Incline

...I'm overweight and very self-conscious about my size, but I do want to do something about it. For a while I tried using my local gym, but soon felt embarrassed to exercise next to all the other very fit members. So when my ever-loving husband asked me what I wanted for Christmas this year, I chose a "complete home gym". One part of the gym was this treadmill, which I love using and think is almost as good as the one at the local gym. ---Setting Up--- The treadmill was delivered part-assembled in a large cardboard box. Now, just so you're clear, it takes up a lot of room when assembled and you need even more room during assembly. So if you only have a pokey little area then this is not for you. Assembly was actually very easy, and it took myself and my husband about 30 minutes from opening the box to plugging in. But just don't do what... Read review

Advantages: able to exercise at home, needs small space
Disadvantages: none

...thought about it , I had been paying over £400 per year for my gym membership and at times I was hardly using it! This would be a one off payment, and hopefully in only one year we would recoup the money through not paying the gym fees. Also, it would mean that if I had a spare half hour I could go for a run rather than having to plan it weeks in advance. And of course there's the added advantage of not actually having to go our in the cold or the dark! The other thing that attracted me to this treadmill is the fact that it is foldable. this means that when you are not using it, you can fold the running base up and therefore it does not take up as musc space as you would expect. It is incredibly heavy though as we realised once it had been delivered. We had originally intended to have it in our bedroom but there was no way my husband and I... Read review

Advantages: Run in the dry when it is raining
Disadvantages: Takes up a bit of space

...Huff puff, huff puff…..Sorry, I will get my breath back soon….. What on earth have I been doing? Running! Oh yeah? Yep, I can run at home, in the dry, for as long as I like, as fast as I like, or just take a leisurely walk to tone my body. What am I talking about? The Olympus Sport Active Runner. What is it? Basically it is a treadmill that sits in the corner of the dining room and gets used in this house almost daily. Why did we buy one of these then? Well…I go to the gym regularly so didn't need a running machine at home but my husband has always had this little desire in the back of his mind that he would be able to get fit in the comfort of his own home, walk daily without having to go out and battle with the weather or traffic. A few times in the past we have looked at treadmills, but generally the cheaper ones didn't hold... Read review
