I Bought The #1 Selling Walking Pad Treadmill On Amazon | Sperax Walking Pad Under Desk Treadmill

[@oddzar7674]

not only did you give a good thorough review, but actually took the time and effort to make a well-polished, enjoyable video lol hugely appreciated 👍👍

[@FitnessFinance4u]

I appreciate that!

[@petestorz172]

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.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@petestorz172]

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.

[@Cloxxki]

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?

[@petestorz172]

@@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.

[@MrNorthNJ]

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.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Good idea!

Happy to hear that that is what you do! I haven’t bought my walking pad yet and I myself had the idea of putting something under the front legs to create the incline. Glad to hear your idea works because that was mine

I got this and used it yesterday and it worked great! Walked a full hour and I felt good about moving my body while working. It's a solid walking pad. Mine came out of the box just perfect and just needed some oil before using. My heart rate at 2.2 was good and I was sweating a little. A++

[@cremadefresita]

How is it holding up?

[@nasparveen8499]

Sorry if I'm telling you something you already know, but you can increase walking intensity by carrying weight. So if you had kettlebells, carrying a kettlebell makes it harder. Also you can fill a backback with sand and that'll get your heart rate right up.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

For sure. I just don't want to carry kettle bells, etc. I'm going to look for a treadmill that will get my heart rate up by having a bigger incline and faster speeds.

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. I do really have to adjust this thing like 4 or 5 times a day (with about 7 hours of daily usage). It is basically impossible to keep this belt from sliding to one side or the other. I keep it right at 2mph.

[@Eddie-tz5px]

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]

After purchasing this, I realized that. Still on the lookout for an under desk treadmill with incline steep enough to burn fat though.

[@Eddie-tz5px]

@@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 excellent review. I’m 5 feet two, weigh about 115 pounds. I noticed the window display shows quantities that don’t make any sense.

It’s really quiet, which I was surprised about. It holds up to 320lbs. I’m not sure about its longevity, but if I get over 10k reviews on this video, I’ll do a 3 or 6 month follow up. I searched and did not see a limit on continuous use, which I’m surprised about. We’ll see how it does long term.

What keeps you from dropping a piece of wood under the front to raise it? Would that make it NOT work anymore?

[@FitnessFinance4u]

That would probably help, but I also think the pad doesn't go quite fast enough to get me into fat burning mode even if I did raise the front of it. Also, adding wood to the set up would make more cumbersome when wanted to remove it, or set it up, as I don't always want the walking pad under my stand up desk.

[@Cloxxki]

@@FitnessFinance4u IMO fat burning mode is overrated. And yes, avid walkers are often chubby, while race walkers are sticks in shoes.

@@FitnessFinance4u Most people don't need/have more than one treadmill. We purchased 4 of them for the office and it is an issue. Their support confirmed it.

[@momma-kins6241]

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!!😉

[@momma-kins6241]

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!!💞;)

[@momma-kins6241]

Are you able to add a couple of boards or padding under the front to create some elevation?? (Sorry for all the comments!! lol)

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Thanks for watching and congratulations for being a cancer survivor! I'm 5'10" and it works fine. I imagine if you were 6'1" or over it could be an issue. You can always send it back. Best of luck!

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Not a bad idea, but I don't wan't to put any extra strain on my joints with the ankle weights. 😃

[@FitnessFinance4u]

i'm sure you could, but I need a pretty dramatic increase on the angle to get my hear rate up.

[@justingray9033]

Great review and timely. I work remote sometimes and feel the same sluggishness you mentioned. Had not considered a product like this! Is it too noisy to have on during a phone call?

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Thanks. It’s surprisingly quiet, actually.

[@justingray9033]

Nice! I take the stairs and try to walk as much as I can but most days don't hit my walking goal. This may help.

[@nicolevanbibber8914]

What speed did yours go up to? The one of theirs that I have goes up enough that you would have to run. Then you would definitely get your heart rate up.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

It only goes up to 3mph. I found out I definitely need to buy one with an incline to get my heart rate up.

[@reneesue8815]

Just bought and was able to use once. The panel now says 888 across it and will not reset back to 000. I tried shutting off, unplugging etc. Wondering if you know how to reset?

[@FitnessFinance4u]

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.

[@kurtyaz]

Nice review Curt!

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Thanks Kurt!

[@mizzezjones]

Can any of these pads be used on carpet?

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Yes, I used mine on my carpet and it worked fine.

[@LogansWanderlust]

Was it long enough for long strides?

[@FitnessFinance4u]

I’m 5’ 10” and I would say decent strides, but not long. I think if I was over 6’ it might be too small.

[@CTBoom19]

I just bought this and it is not turning on? Plugged it in and the red power light is on, but not the digital screen and won't work with the remote or manual settings. Anyone else experience this? It did not come with a manual and I cannot find one online!

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Return it right away. Sounds like you got a lemon.

[@TeddyArmstrong-z2q]

I have the pad and it makes that high pitched humming also. Did you ever get yours to stop making the humming sound?

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Yes…it did stop after a while. It might be “muffled” by putting it on the carpet?

[@TeddyArmstrong-z2q]

@@FitnessFinance4u Thanks! I'll try that. It's driving me crazy!😇

A weighted vest will help

I was hoping you'd show where the oil goes

[@FitnessFinance4u]

There are other creators who show this.

[@falconeer1808]

Does it make a sound on the floor? As i am living on an apartment

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Yes it does, unless you put it on thicker carpet. Your downstairs neighbors might complain?

[@falconeer1808]

So it makes a sound right? I think not good for the apartment

[@blu2th101]

You buy them all with your own money, but sometimes you don’t buy them 😂. Got it. Had to mention that. Great video though 👍🏽. Definitely gets a like.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Yes! I guess what I was trying to say is that if they are given to me by a manufacture for free, I’ll let you know. I gotta work on how I say that! 🤣

[@MattTheriot]

Great review, thanks.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Thanks and glad I could help!

How do you fix a e-7

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Sorry Kelly, but I don’t know. I have given my treadmill to a friend.

[@Tbay007]

How tall are you? I am just looking for something that will keep me moving but I am 6'3, so I am hesitant on buying these portable treadmills because they seem relatively small.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

I'm 5' 10" and I fit ok. I don't think it's big enough for anyone over 6', so if I were you I would pass on this one. I'm sure there are ones that can handle your height out there. Good luck!

[@Brit_tizzle]

I have been wondering if you can even run on this treadmill?? I've been looking everywhere to see reviews for running on this and they are few and far between. Let me know if you have plz! Btw I am 5"7 & 145 lbs. so idk if I am too tall or not?? I really l love the idea of this lightweight, easy to use treadmill, hoping it meets my expectations!! TIA!

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Brittany, I just answered your question on my other treadmill review here. I hope it helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYSqe52sZrqHn8k

[@jackiemawdsley3721]

I recently bought a walking pad like this & I find a couple of times Ive lost my balance hurting myself, Does anyone have any tips/advice, Its starting to put me off using it , I have to look down at my feet the whole time Im on it and then literally leap off it when I want to finish 🤔

[@FitnessFinance4u]

I think you definitely have to be careful. Some people may be able to work or browse the internet while walking, while others can't. Maybe it's best if you just walk for 30 minutes with some good music or a podcast? Either way, you're moving your body!

[@practice643]

I haven’t bought one yet but I was thinking about that also. I want to be able to use it while standing at a desk so I can do computer work i.e. one thing for sure is catching up on all my emails. But I thought if I had an issue doing that I could position it looking out my window and simply watch what’s passing by while I’m walking on it

[@dedranicole6606]

Thank you , great review

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Thanks for watching!

[@Dsinkz]

You can only walk on this one then?

[@FitnessFinance4u]

yes, it only goes up to 3mph

No, it was good to go right out of the box!

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Yes, thank you . I had a brain fart!

[@elissomichmicha4783]

Is it silent? Or noisy?

[@FitnessFinance4u]

It’s pretty quiet as long as you have some sort of pad or rug underneath it.

[@seanogrady2629]

Maybe you can try a slow jogging motion as opposed to just walking to get your heart rate up.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

I actually ditched the walking pad and just started walking outside when I had time. I may get one with an incline and test it.

[@mikey2363]

Thank you

[@FitnessFinance4u]

You're welcome!

[@menaceclan]

The "Thingy" which name you were looking for, is called an "Allen key"... Do you know if the model (or any small home treadmil model for that matter), supports the encline walk ? Thanks in advance for tour answer..

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Yes, thanks. I actually have a whole bunch of allen wrenches and just "blanked" on the name.
