Domyos W100 treadmill review Decathlon treadmill [eng]

[@stefaniarosso4588]

i purchased this model here in China and after my husband assembled it , dechatlon rang us to make an appointment for assembling it 🤣🤣 this service was included! I should study chinese a bit more ....

[@axxo]

Wow, that's unexpectedly nice of theirs.

[@Didiclimbs]

Thank You! I was wondering if the resistance works weel if I walk backwards on it. Have you tried that?

[@irinapluijmen]

Can u please advise a good not expensive model? Walk, run, starters, not big, easy to use?

[@axxo]

It's either good or cheap, there is no good and cheap. I'm super satisfied with all Spirit Fitness treadmills and this would be my no 1 recommendation.

[@강태권-k2j]

good and honest review!

[@mayazir]

Hi, why do you say this treadmill is only for the beginning and in a few months will need to upgrade to an electrical one? But if I want it only for walking 2-3 hours daily? Could it be ok for at least 3-4 years? I just need it to burn calories daily because I walk at home and almost 18 hours only sitting in front of my laptop.

[@axxo]

The built quality is just not there. This is for 2-3 hours weekly, not daily, no heavy users.

Hi, I am very happy to find just this product being review by you. Lately i am trying to find cheap treadmill which i can use for walking during work time. My idea is to put this under my standing desk and to walk as much as i can while worktime. How do you see my idea. Will the product be suitable for this? Thanks.

[@axxo]

Hi! If you can make it work. I did use different treadmill for this purpose and it worked ok. With this one you will probably need to push the desk with your hands a little bit, just to keep the pace stable. Other than that, there shouldn't be a problem. Worth noting, It gets boring after a few days and it gives some aches in the back and legs. I managed to do 2-4 hours of this type of desk job a day. Good luck.

[@elliotrose96]

Hi Thank you for the review. I just wanted to check what the magnetic resistance is like? Are you able to turn it up relatively high so when you walk it gives you a good workout or is it hardly noticeable?

[@axxo]

It's acceptable but the bottom line is: pay more and get something better.

[@elliotrose96]

@@axxo any recommendations (UK based) that provide decent resistance that also doesn’t break the bank?

[@abdolsaki3609]

I am 96 kg, can I run gently on it. Thanks

[@axxo]

I don't think so. This is very cheap, fragile device.

[@abdolsaki3609]

Thanks

[@glaizalunesa3506]

Thanks for this review. I'm about to buy this online. How is the noise level of this when being used? I hope it's not too loud/distracting. TIA!

[@axxo]

Not bad. Bit quieter then motorized treadmill, quieter than washing machine, louder than dishwasher.

[@icanseewater]

Wait what?!! I’ve had this treadmill for a year but has NEVER worked without me holding onto the handles… what am I missing???

[@axxo]

I don't know, it worked for me.

[@pierer91]

You can adjust the spring that controls how close the magnet gets at fly wheel, this controls how easy the belt will move. It's located on the underside pretty much directly below the blue lever, you have a spring and a bolt which acts as a stopper for the plate. You need to adjust the nut on that bolt to bring magnet closer. I noticed straight out the box the magnet didn't even move at all at the last 2 positions because the bolt was stopping the spring. Once I adjusted the wheel so that there was only 1mm gap at max tension this deadmill was much better for ATG. Also elevating back of treadmill and using resistance band round waist to simulate sled helped. I'm really happy with it now, it's not as lightweight as I expected going by some of the reviews, a shame it doesn't come out the box set up properly, but I still consider it a bargain at the low price.

[@mythos14]

@@pierer91 want to use it for ATG only. supperb comment! do u run it flat by now? i wonder if the resistance will be hight enough.

[@nickivlachou3117]

Hello, I have a question: Why are the mechanical treadmills not flat on the ground like the mini electrical ones?

[@axxo]

Hi, you need the incline and gravity to pull the user down and backwards. You're going up while sliding down in the same time.

[@evelynye4031]

thank you

[@zerta18]

Can you do 12/3/30 with this ?

[@axxo]

The very basic form of it yes, but I would spend more for get a proper treadmill if I wanted to do proper workouts.

[@AleChaos98TV]

Hi, hope you can aswer this. I bought this treadmill a few days ago and discovered an issue from the start. If I try to walk swingin my arm (like a normal walk) without holding to the side or frontal bars the speed goes too fast and I end up at the bottom of the treadmill and I'm forced to step out. Insted if I hold to the bars I can walk normally and steady, without moving down. Is this normal? Can I do something to the mat to make it stedy when I'm not holding the handles? Thank you

[@axxo]

Try adding some height under the back of the deck. This should reduce the speed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZaze4yHgdWfnrc

[@amandamurphy7407]

@@axxo what did use to elevate the treadmill? And is this treadmill suitable for running?

[@MichaelKane47]

Hello. Is this treadmill good enough when I need to practice runs with average pace about 5-6 minutes per a kilometer?

[@axxo]

Nooooooo

[@MichaelKane47]

@@axxo Shame :( Thank you.

[@franco912]

the width of the walking band is about 38 cm, it's quite narrow for someone large like me, people should be aware of their anatomy prior to any purchase, i'll pass on this one.

[@nathanscott90]

Could this be use for reverse sled pull simulations?

[@axxo]

Somewhat yes. Less comfortable, less resistance, less user friendly but it would suffice with a lack of other options. I wouldn't buy it just for this purpose only.

[@Beetoores]

This is what I was looking at it for, with the variable resistance it seems viable, did you end up getting something ?

[@nathanscott90]

@@Beetoores nah mate. Went into store to have a look and it's well.flimsy.

[@axxo]

@@Beetoores I do a lot of tests and I trade treadmills so I keep only the best pieces for myself. Ended up with Technogym Myrun.

[@Beetoores]

@@axxo thank you mate, I will check that out, trying to find the best one for reverse sled, but so hard to find
