    Hi folks,
    Thinking of getting the Reebok I-Run for my good lady (on offer at Argos), anyone tell me if they are good?
    Cheers

    Re: Treadmills

    As much as it would be humourous to get into the whole plane treadmill thingy, I'm gonna stay on topic. I actually have one of these, had it since October. It's pretty good, I've never used a treadmill before this one, so I wont be able to compare it with others. But I have been using it for like 2-3 times a week, and no problems. Seems very sturdy, I done my research before I went ahead and bought it, and its got all round great reviews.

    And for £200 less than I got it for, I'm pretty sure you'll be happy with it. Although, just make sure you double check it when it arrives. When I got mine, parts of the plastic were battered and there was a wierd rattling noise when the belt was moving. Quick call to Argos, and I had a new, (unbroken) one redelivered.

    Hope that helps.

    Oh, and the fold-away aspect of the treadmill is brilliant, it works really well. Great way to save space.

    Thanks folks, especially uchiha itachi, I was looking at the Roger Black gold (£50 more), but what has made my decision was the fold away part of it. I have ordered one today, and NO!, I wont be launching planes as flying helicopters is more my forte
    Thanks again
    P.S. Ham and pickle on brown is NOT sad Tiggerai

    Re: Treadmills

    Is buying a treadmill for your "good lady" the right message to give her?

    Hope she asked for or got use for a treadmill (i.e goes running).

    Re: Treadmills

    The white Argos I-Run at £299 is a good price - but is it the I-Run or the I-Run+ ? (which has a more powerful motor and better build quality)

    I thought about getting one of these as they can fold down quite small, but for once stopped myself fadding.
