I am looking to buy my wife a treadmill for her birthday. Can anyone give me advice on what is the best brand to purchase? Looking in the $750 - $1,000 range.
Treadmill ???
- Thread starter jerbeek
- Start date
something in the $150 range
.....just kidding...good luck...just cant see spending that kind of money and not getting anywhere unless it has some kind of euphoric affect Of course my wedding in Las Vegas cost me more than that and it hasn't gotten me ANYWHERE trust me.....but the thought is noble and quite heart warming. I don't think I ever gave my wife anything that cost that much, except my ex-wife. I gave her a divorce and that cost me $1100, (first wife of course). I don't think I would be nearly this cynical if I was divorced now.
If I get my wife anything it will be a maid that doesn't understand english. That way I can bang on the back door while she is mowing the lawn and shake my empty beer can upside down emphatically and scream as I point to the empty can "It ain't gonna fill itself"

The best deals I ever seen on treadmills was in the want ads. If you are looking to save some money, and dont mind a scratch or two you should be able to find one reasonably priced, or you can look at :thefinger WAL-MART:thefinger those crooks might have something in that range. I hope you don't mind that I don't really like to say(or type) that name.

I like to feel it and get on top of it before I buy it.....okay, enough about that, lets get to treadmills now OKay, I got a treadmill, i got mines from sports authority. I like mines because the width of the belt on it is wide, so theres a lot of room just in case if you don't run exactly straight. Also, get one that's sturdy if you weigh a lot. I'd suggest, if you can, look for a store, like sports authority that sells them so you can actually see it in person, that's what i did. I don't like ordering to ship, cause seeing it as a picture in some catalog may not look the same or as big as u thought it is when it comes in the mail. Thats just my suggestion. After a month, you'll be hanging clothes on it anyways.

This is IMPORTANT information that not many people know about shopping for Treadmills!!!
It is very important that you bring a coat hanger with you to the store when you are shopping for treadmills. Look closely at each model. You must find a model that the coat hanger will hang from properly. Because ask anyone who owns a treadmill, that after a few weeks, all you'll be using it for is a coat rack!!

For your sake I hope she has requested a treadmill for her birthday, because if she hasn't it might be a cold day in Hell before you get any A**.
For the money ProForm at Sears have great motors and a good service plan. If you plan to use it I would buy the service plan, I know no one in thier right mind would buy one of those but for a treadmill that gets used I would highly suggest it.

FDC & Blitz LMFAO. They make a great hanger, I know I have 1 in my bedroom that the wife says she'll use as soon as I move it to the basement( Yeh Right, )
)
That's funny Skulldog, I have one I moved from the basement to the bedroom so it would get more use. now it's just easier to hang stuff on !! :shrug: :walk: kurby :walk: kurby
Bought a real nice one from Sears several years ago. I don't hang clothes on it though, if I did they would get all dusty. Have her go to the neighbors and use theirs for a week and then make your decision. $750-$1000 is a lot to pay for a knick-knack.
