Thinking of getting a treadmill like T101 but i live in an apartment, just wondering if anyone had any experience with treadmills and had they received complaints from neighbours before (or even know their neighbour above had treadmills but the sound is not loud)? Not doing some heavy running, just mostly walking and light running (6-10 KM)

If u using just for light running and walking (>6 min/km pace), should be no problem. Recommended u put heavy duty gym mat on the contact point between treadmill and the floor.

yeah that's a good idea and will consider that. just wonder if anyone had experience and especially if aware of upstairs neighbour in apartment/condo had treadmill and had heard the sounds before and how bad is it. Obviously it depends on the soundproofing / thickness of each floor but just wanted to get a general idea as I dont want to annoy my neighbour downstairs smile.gif

your neighbour downstairs didn't complain (or is it a case they just ignore i wonder LOL)? But that's good to hear, i can check if T101 can get a free mat or not

Definitely not.. Its heavy and very stable on the floor.. it should have dampening rubbers when you run on it .. sure you want to buy? after a while quite boring sweat.gif .. I used health app just to make it interesting

Check the motor specs for treadmills and the warranty. Good brands will offer a long warranty on the motor and a motor of 2.5HP (continuous horse power) or higher is recommended for running, lower power ok for walking/jogging. A 2.5-3 CHP treadmill might require an upgraded power switch.
Some treadmills advertise only the peak HP rating which is about 2x the CHP.
