I need a treadmill.

[Petrolsmasher]

Cannot find a treadmill online anywhere that isent going to take ages to arrive, any ideas?

Yes i know there is outside but we just want a treadmill as we know we would use it more.

eBay?

[Hoink]

Not ideal given current circumstances but Facebook marketplace?

Ring your local (now shut) gyms, ask if they want to sell one.

[Welshbeef]

Why not hire one for 6 months then once this is over hand it back.

Ive tried to buy a running machine/treadmill but you're right everywhere is sold out and that's after they doubled in price over 3-4 days last week! Same with bike trainers! I've resorted to some weights ive got to stop myself going crazy.

How about BURPEES no kit required and best exercise there is.

There are you tube challenges

3,000 burpees in 30 days
6,000 burpees in 30 days

You should like a chap who does lots of fitness so you’d no doubt relish this monumental challenge.

Try here, they're still taking online orders:

they might be but delivery is 7-21 days. Probably the latter. Amazon sold out with re-stock in May give or take.

There's 160 adverts for treadmills on Gumtree.

How about go for a run?

[dieselgrunt]

Skipping/jump rope.

We bought ours from them a couple of years ago...they struck me as a really decent retailer with no bullst etc I would think they would be realistic with times frames.

No affiliation !

Good shout. Costs about 3 quid and is a mental workout as well as a physical one. Burpees are good as well. Simple but brutal.

I think fitness superstore and powerhouse fitness are the two bigger online retailers. Both happy to do deals too.

We are definitely a nation of people who do things like buying gym memberships and equipment in lieu of actually doing exercise.

Quite. Bizarre.

Having run through the Winter again I intended to pick one up when I reasoned there would be plenty cheap as the weather improved. Got that wrong! Maybe I'll wait for 6mts when they're getting in the way and 'you haven't used it' accusations start flying.
