Is this treadmill sturdy enough for light jogging by an adult male, or is it really best fo walking. Thanks.

I am an adult male and I run on this treadmill. It is sturdy enough to jog, which was one of the reasons I bought this product.

Yes I believe it to be sturdy enough to jog. It's just a bit loud, like a "bang" with every step so just make sure you are on a sturdy floor or a basement.

I was 152 lbs when I started running on this treadmill. It's very sturdy but a little noisier than most. I listen to music while running so it doesn't bother me. Be advised, this is NOT a flat surface treadmill, it has a slight incline. I took 2 1" pieces of practical board and lifted the rear . Even after that it's still sturdy.

Yes it is sturdy enough. I have used it several times. I am very pleased with it.

Yes, this is a very sturdy treadmill. It is preloaded with three workouts and three intense workouts as well as set your own pace. I use it daily and would recommended it to those looking for a good treadmill.

I've jogged with it but it's not designed as a 'real' jogging stroller. We do have a jogging stroller and the regular graco stroller that we got as a travel system w the car seat snd I'll tell you that both of those are in the basement except this mini. We love it. It's lightweight and so easy to operate. We took it to Mexico when our little one turned 1. We didn't have to check it in, again, because it's so light it's considered a lightweight stroller but it's also sturdy and much better quality that most 'umbrella' strollers. We love it and we have no complaints. Oh and it is very much easy to transition from infant to toddler. I've jogged with it but it's not designed as a 'real' jogging stroller.

I wouldn't expect to jog with it for two reasons: 1) the tires are not inflatable bike tires like you find on jogging strollers so the ride is bumpy and 2) the front wheels turn easily enough that you would constantly need to course correct. It's still a phenomenal stroller, though it isn't necessarily built for that purpose. We opted for this one instead of the jogging stroller because we realized that running would be the exception of use cases for us, whereas everyday walking is the norm.

I don't know how heavy you are, but it seems to me that it's fine for jogging 3 miles 3-4 times a week. I am petite, about 5'4" and 115Lbs, so this machine would be fine for me to jog that much; and it looks and feels as durable as the machines at 24 Hour fitness. I'm guessing that jogging that much for someone who's considerably heavier than me would be a bit questionable, but I am not an expert to assess that. Nevertheless, it feels like it will take it just fine.

The manual says only those who weigh 250 lbs or less can safely use this treadmill. For your safety I would not recommend you try this one. I have no knowledge of other treadmills so can not guide you.

I've had the single and double version of the city mini. I personally found the single fine to jog with... A little heavy but good on flat paved surfaces. I found the double to be more of a convenient, light, fast walking stroller. I run a good amount and used both through toddler age for my kids. If you are looking to jog (10 min miles or slower) I feel like this is fine. I don't think it is the best for running. If you are looking to go faster, best RUNNING stroller is the B.O.B

This has been a great treadmill for us. I really enjoy it but I know everyone is different but it has been wonderful for us. Hope this helps...i read many reveiws before even buying this one last year and so far it hasn't disappointed us.

i don't jog but it looks sturdy enough to allow you to jog with it. i use this stroller daily; for my dog who is partially blind. it is by far the most rugged i have owned. i put a cushion inside ; you might want to do that so the ride is smoother for your dog. the stroller is also very easy to maneuver; i stand 5ft 6 inches and the handle is at the right level.

It's lightweight and maneuvers easily, but I don't think I'd use it as a jogger. The three wheel design works for other joggers bc they are bigger, in this one I think the compact nature wouldn't be an asset for stability. I also have the City Elite and that one I'd use as a jogger, I currently use that to power walk with my dogs. It's much sturdier. All that said, if you still opt for this stroller, get the GT model with real wheels. We use this for travel and as a car stroller, and in just that I am not happy with the plasticy wheels. If you ran w it you'd definitely need real wheels! Hope that helps :) It's lightweight and maneuvers easily, but I don't think I'd use it as a jogger.

We push our city select all over, hills included. It handles really well and feels like a smooth ride. I have not tried jogging with it as I have heard it is not ideal for jogging from a couple of girlfriends with the same stroller. We do walk fast with it with no trouble.

I've done some light jogging with it, but I wouldn't call it a everyday jogging stroller. It doesn't have trail tires and the maneuverability isn't what I would want it I wanted to job with it all the time. Mostly I do a lot of really long walks, mall and zoo trips, etc.

Based on my ownership and use of this machine for a few months, I would say you can safely jog on it for a 20-minute session every day, provided you don't expect to run faster than a light jog (4 to 6 mph), and your weight is not excessive. Keep the belt lubricated and it should be fine. If you're looking for a serious workout (faster speeds and longer sessions), you should consider a more advanced model.

I'm 55 and I use it. It takes getting used to. I started with the treadmill alone until I built up some stamina.

You can walk quickly, but the front wheel starts to shake if you start jogging. I'd recommend getting the larger front wheel upgrade that doesn't rotate if you want to jog.

yes I'm 5'7 and I can walk on it... it says it can hold up to 220 pounds I'm 170 and when I run I just don't feel like its enough room on the treadmill

I can't say whether this treadmill will last 3 or 4 years, because I have only had it for a year. However, what I can tell you is that it's held up wonderfully so far and it's been through a lot. I run about 30 miles per week just about every week and my boyfriend adds another 10-15 miles each week. PLUS we moved, so we have taken it apart and put it back together 3 times! The treadmill did start squeaking a couple months ago, but once we tightened some screws it was back to normal. For a low cost somewhat basic treadmill (I say somewhat because it does have some extras; iFit option, speakers to connect ipod/mp3 player), I would definitely suggest purchasing this one.
