Treadmill Upstairs

[andyb28]

I want to put my treadmill in a spare room upstairs.

The spare room has only just been decorated, but no flooring done yet.
It's a chipboard floor over original beams.

The concern is obviously going to be from noise.

Can anyone recommend the best finish for the floor to keep the noise to a minimum?

Thanks
Andy

Lol, very good.
I did delete a line in my original post about my 16 stone fat ass bouncing the floor.

Would something like this work?

Wow, that looks really good.
I could put a thin carpet over it to blend it in.

I wouldn't worry about it. You'll only use it twice for its intended purpose and then it will become another place to hang laundry on to dry.

Do you live in a semi detached? Our old house was and the neighbour put a treadmill upstairs and all I could hear for an hour was thud thud thud as he pounded the miles out. He sold it the week after I complained.

I wouldn’t want mine upstairs.
a) They’re pretty heavy and awkward to move.
b] the vibration from a base pedal on an electric drum kit my son had a couple of years back was bad enough, let alone 160-180 steps per minute on a running machine.
c) mines in the garage, with a 16” fan wall mounted to keep me cool, you’ll roast in the house
