I have an elliptical on carpet, &amp; when i use it the machine wobbles A LOT. Would this mat help with keeping the machine from wobbling "side to side"?

Probably not. The mat is heavy duty and very solid with very little "give". My elliptical doesn't wobble and is also silent when i am using it. So my experience may not be helpful! Sharon

Mine doesn't wobble but it is in a carpeted location. 30 to 40 pounds? Must be a hell of a telephone -- but I imagine it would handle it....

Yes, it does. What I did to minimize the movement was put down the large square rubber mats (looks like a puzzle). On carpet it may not move as much as hard wood floors (which is what I have). It also depends on how hard you hit it. I hit hard so when it moves left, I move behind it and hit it back to where it originally was. I made it a part of my workout since I kick box there is a lot of movement. It definitely is worth getting though, very good quality.

I would use a thin mat under the equipment. The exercise mat is nice but thick and would likely distort.

It tracks movement more so than steps so I believe it should work on an elliptical machine. I have not tried it though.

The machine is very stable. A very slight sway-hardly recognizable. I have it on a piece of carpet on the concrete floor in my basement. Carpeted surface should be fine.

I don't know if I understand your question. I purchased a gym mat and placed the treadmill on top of it. I have an impression that I could just have placed the treadmill directly on my carpet and that it would work fine. Please elaborate further if you'd like more help.

My guess will be to agree with the answers already given, but mine also is wobbly on the carpet, so be careful if you have children or dogs running around!

I recommend the one that I purchased, which is slightly thicker. I'm assuming that it's slightly heavier and will not move on the carpet. Most treadmill manufactures do recommend a treadmill mat. I am very happy with this purchase, and have been using it for 3 months now without any issues.

I bought this machine about 2 months ago. I've had it upstairs the entire time with zero problems. The weight of this machine is not overbearing so you should have no problems building it upstairs. I didn't put a mat underneath mine but I would advise it.

The thicker one is great under my very heavy treadmill and although it's on low pile carpet, I think that it cuts down on wobble.

Depends on the kind of carpet I think I just put this on our semi-shag for a test, it is wobbly. But with heavy equipment it might work. Good luck

Elliptical vibration was no problem. I don't think it would but the two other factors are will it get a good grip? I found that the clamp on several ellipticals was not big or wide enough to get a grip. the design of the ellipticals was almost as if they wanted to make sure I could not clamp anything....So, at it's most wide open the clamp is not ginormous....so if your treadmill does not have a 3 inch or less thick place for it to attach to...that may be a problem.

I bought the mat along with the treadmill, but I haven't used it. I don't believe it is necessary on carpet floors.

I use this mat under my elliptical and an exercise bike and both fit quite well. It can be used for the treadmill but I'd take some measurements just to be sure. My elliptical is a beast and it fits but it doesn't hurt to double check.

I have carpet so no problems with mine but you could try the rubber grip mats used to keep kitchen rugs in place or place a heavy toy or bed on the edge or corners of the playmat.

We have moved ours from garage to spare bedroom and back several times. The wheels on the front end may not be too useful depending on the surface. Placing furniture moving pads under the "legs" may make moving easier (sliding) especially if on a continuously carpeted floor. Changing the foot pads from recumbent to elliptical is easy although they may be stiff, as noted by others. The control center must also be repositioned but that only involves loosing or tightening one T-handled bolt.
