My wife has MS and bad asthma, as such she struggles to get out and about especially on cold, wet, windy days. We have it mind to get a treadmill for such days when she can't get out but don't want to spend too much money just in case she doesn't get on with it.

I'm thinking of a budget around £300.

Has anyone bought one around this price point? If so would you recommend it?

I fully appreciate that at this price it won't be gym standard but it doesn't need to be tbh...

Thanks smile

It might be worth getting a second hand one, so you don't risk the large hit on disposal if your other half doesn't get on with the treadmill.

Yeah I would look for a gym standard second hand one. Will make a big difference.

I bought a reebok one gt40s like this one and drove to pick it up. I paid £225 but at £250 it’s still worth it. Very heavy and substantial, I wouldn’t bother with cheap ones. I would buy a expensive quality one secondhand.

Here’s one near you but be prepared to bid up to 300 if you want to make sure you get it.

Or offer this guy 225 and see how close he’ll go

Thanks all

Wigan and Stoke are a little far for us to travel as we are in deepest south west Wales but I'll keep an eye out....
