I bought the same model and started using it in January. I'm 6'0", a bit north of 300 lbs., and not young. I bought it primarily to add a bit of movement to my days. I used to walk half marathons, but more recently 10Ks and 5Ks. Your sequence of unpackaging it was exactly what I saw. The first thing I did, per the included booklet was to check belt lubrication. It was dry between the belt and the frame underneath, so I added oil, squished it back and forth to get it across the width of the belt, and then ran it for a minute or two to get the oil spread the length of the belt and frame. I did not need to adjust the belt position. I use it for 10-15 minutes, 3 or 4 times a week. For quite a while I was doing 3.0 mph, and a couple of weeks ago increased to 3.2 mph (I know, whoo-hoo!). I wish it had a bar across the front to help me stay centered, but I have it near a bookcase and lightly holding onto a shelf works fine. I do have to focus a little to stay centered L-R and F-B. That's the nature of the beast, not a defect, IMO. Has it helped me? Well, it adds ~.5 mile a day to whatever else I would do on work-out-days. Also, I have been VERY pleased with improved finish times in two recent 5Ks (I'm walking, so nothing world-beating). Another way of looking at it, $$, gym membership is ~$30/month here. I've used it in 4 months so far, so $120 saved, plus ~.15 gallon and ~20 minutes' round-trip drive every day I use it. From a $$ POV, it will have paid for itself in 8-9 months. Sorry, brevity is not my gift.

One of the very slightly annoying things to me in how I was using this was I didn't feel comfortable walking (at 3.0 and 3.2 mph) hands free. So I had been resting my hand on a nearby bookshelf, just to keep centered on the belt (not for balance). A week or so ago I changed to walking at 2.0 mph while reading, for about the same duration, and doing this hands-free. It worked, but I had to move the walking pad back and forth, because I was using a table which already had a purpose. Using a standing desk was not realistic, because $$ and space, but my wife thought of using an overbed table like what is used in hospitals and home care. It was just $70, assembled quickly, and is sturdy. It works a little better, because I can adjust the height, and get the walking pad to a slightly better position and angle.
@Cloxxki6 ай бұрын
Doing well there! Have you tried putting a riser under the front to amp up the workout for a given speed? Apart from the fitness side, how long can you mentally walk on it? Do you use it with a standing desk or TV? I am moving into a new place and considering a sit/stand desk and great monitor. All the reason to be there, standing. and with the threadmill...perhaps I could get a few hours of walking a day, during work or even just casual browsing/KZbin/binge watching?
@petestorz1726 ай бұрын
@@Cloxxki, I have thought of using something to elevate the front, but my weight suggests to me that support in the middle or a wedge would be prudent for durability. I usually have music or am reading. Between boredom and other factors my longest spell to date has been 20 minutes. Since writing the post above I have obtained an over-bed table (such as hospitals use) and use that for the tablet I'm using for reading. I don't have or have the space for a stand-up desk. The table - wheeled and adjustable height - was $70 on Amazon.

I purchased one of these walking pads. I like having the ability to move it out of the way when not in use since I have limited space in the room I use it in. They do lack the incline function of a fuil-featured treadmill. I just take a piece of 1X2 or a 2X4 and stick it under the front of the unit to make the incline. when I want it. A low level hack for certain but it works.

I bought this model and have used it for 30+ hours a week for about 6 months. Doing some regular oiling and that kind of cleaning. The biggest grip about it is the constant need for adjustments.

Overall great review! I'm sure that other people have commented about this already, but this pad was specifically designed for walking while working. I don't believe that it was meant to be used to bring your heart rate up as much as a treadmill would. If getting to your "fat burning heart rate" was the case; you'd need to use your traditional treadmill. I think that the simple answer is that this is ONLY meant to walk and get your 10,000 steps in. Overall, seems like a great product and one that I will purchase. Thanks!

@@FitnessFinance4u I believe that most people are looking for something similar, but just think about it... How would you or anyone be able to get any type of work done if you are on a "Pad" or "treadmill" that requires concentration? Simple answer is that someone will end up having an accident and that defeats the purpose of the PAD. The pad was simply designed to be slow enough so that you can actually get work done while not having to concentrate much on the fact that you're moving. Any other machine that would require a faster speed would make anyone lose their focus. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the review. I wonder what you mean under fat burning mode? What heart rate were you going to achieve?
@FitnessFinance4u2 ай бұрын
It depends on your age, but you can use this calculator (link below) to determine what your personal "fat burning mode" is. When you are in "fat burning mode" your body uses "fat" as energy and burns it, thus helping you to lose weight. www.omnicalculator.com/sports/fat-burning-zone

That's a good question Michael. I did some digging and couldn't even find a Sperax Website. I did find a Sperax Amazon page, but that was it. I also looked for Sperax remotes on Amazon and couldn't find one. Maybe go to the Amazon Sperax page and see if you find a "contact us" link?

Did you try lifting the front up and resting it on some books to create an incline?
@FitnessFinance4u7 ай бұрын
I didn't want to constantly have to move and remove something from under the treadmill to get an incline as I don't keep the walking pad under my desk at all times. Sometimes I put a chair in its place.
@penningtonsm3 ай бұрын
Can you not adjust the speed on this walking pad?
@FitnessFinance4u3 ай бұрын
Yes...you can do anything from a very slow walk to a nice jog. I think it goes between 1 and 6mph.

I just found you, but LOVE YOUR UNBIASED REVIEWS!! I have a question I hope you can answer. I’m about your age, female, & a metastatic breast cancer survivor who lives in a cold climate. I’m also TALL (5’11” & long legs/stride). I often trip over the front of treadmills at the gym if I walk at a very fast pace. Do you think I would have difficulty with this machine for days when I can’t get outside to walk d/t weather or sickness??? Thank you for your time & hard work. You have a new subscriber!!😉

Also, if you read this… Maybe try ankle weights to get your heart pumping?? I can’t run b/c of my mid 40yo tiny ankles & knees, but I have found adding 10lbs around my ankles (or wrists & pumping/lifting my arms) always increases my BPM!! (Just a suggestion!!💞;)

Renee...I haven't had that happen. I think it might be best to get in touch with Amazon and possibly return it right away. It might just be a faulty display. I'm sure this happens from time to time. Best to nip it in the bud right away so you return it in time under the warranty.
