How well does this work with training on a treadmill when you have to been indoors and stationary?

On the treadmill it will only record Heartrate (in addition to time). This can either be done by manually going into the settings and turning the GPS OFF, or after a while of not finding GPS signal, the watch will ask you if you are indoors. Selecting YES at this point will turn off the GPS and allow you to workout indoors without getting incorrect GPS data.

I use the foot pod when running on the treadmill. You will get speed, distance and cadence information that is in the same format as when using the GPS. The foot pod will also give you cadence when are using the GPS outdoors.

The TF1000 Exerpeutic Treadmill is very quiet as long as you keep it regularly lubricated. We regularly put between 100 and 200 miles per month on our TF 1000, and lubricate it once a month as well. If it starts making noise, you've waited too long, and have probably caused some excess wear to the belt and motor.

I have done a little running on this but, unless you're more coordinated than me (and that wouldn't be hard), you need to hang on because it's a short treadmill. Having said that, this is always on an angle and walking on it is a great workout too. I have never owned a full size treadmill, but I like this one for fitness.

Have you considered a rebounder? Check them out. Especially one with a stability bar - no worries about weather, you can use it any time, it's MUCH more fun than a treadmill...I've worked my way to spending 40 minutes per day on it, and there are videos you can buy to actually do a routine on it.

Its has a setting on the controls for training but for everyday use in full gear not sure if it would be ideal. You can choose the pace you would like to run at manually from the controls but if your doing 'intensity training', this is one of the controls on the panel. The machine will make you work, for it changes the speed automatically after a certain period which makes it interesting and makes you stay alert when using the weight-loss or intensity training options.

Our treadmill is upstairs in our condo. While the room is carpeted I think the mat does help reduce the noise.

I haven't tried it. It is possible that the belt may slide up from its position if running hard on a treadmill, however, if it is tightened securely it should be fine. I have wore it while driving and getting in and out of my truck without any need for adjustment. As with any support belt, you shouldn't wear it for extended periods of time so your back muscles don't end up depending upon belt support. I would say it would work fine on a treadmill.

The pedals doesn't move by themselves like a treadmill belt does; but it's computerized speed and resistance control, fan, and MP3 player speakers do require it to be plugged in. For the money, it's about as near "gym quality" as you can get.

This purchase is one of the best ones I ever made for fitness equipment. The pros are compact, cheap, battery powered (monitor readings only) instead of using electricity, and gives a decent workout. The cons are changing the 2 double A batteries every 2-3 months, applying pressure to the rubber mat to start walking, I don't run or jog because I don't feel it is safe on this machine for some reason, not suitable for people over 5'10" because the surface is not long enough, and I feel that I need to hold the side bars to get a good balance while applying pressure to the mat. But other than aforementioned, I would recommend this machine to anyone who just wants to walk. This purchase is one of the best ones I ever made for fitness equipment.

It should work ok. If you don't have a carpet in your gym, I would suggest you go for a thicker mat. I have a treadmill mounted on it. So it works fine for me.

It has worked pretty well for me, I have run with it at least 10 times and broken a sweat which did not affect it

Not at all! Although most of my testing is on stationary bike (with considerable instrumentation) neither stationary nor real bike even gets the calories burned to budge. Even pushing 200+ Watts and sweating like a pig, nothing. Without footsteps it records nothing. Now, interestingly - after hard bike workout then I can get on treadmill at minimum speed and zero incline and it records medium intense activity, where I'm clearly loafing. It also records elliptical at much lower rate than actual expenditure. Basically I think it's a glorified pedometer only slightly sensitive to energy usage. And customer support doesn't even respond to any queries about these issues.

I have not done that myself, but some reviewers stated that it worked for them. The treadmill has a very low profile, which requires a sturdy mat underneath, especially on carpet. I believe the 2x4 would work, as long as the belt does not rub on the opposite end.

We are using under an elliptical machine on top of carpet. It's quiet but I don't know how it compares to a treadmill

We only use this during training and so not leave it on when not training. As a result there are no problems.

It would depend how you use it but it is typically more quiet than a regular treadmill.

depends on what type of workout. my husband clips it to his t-shirt while on the treadmill.
