Miguel,

As much as I love the TrueForm Runner, I wouldn’t recommend it for a second floor condo. It is a very large machine that weighs 340 pounds. Most of the manual treadmills are best suited for a main floor (slab on grade). The noise would be significant for downstairs neighbors and you may find it a challenge to actually get the box up to your floor. It would also require disassembly if you needed to move. Best of luck to you!

Great review!
Despite your warnings, the only place I have for it is in my bedroom. Which is on the second floor of a condo. Would the noise/vibrations be unbearable for my downstairs neighbors?

Thank you
Miguel

Annie,

There are several benefits to using a manual treadmill. They are more challenging and help the user develop a proper mid-foot strike while running since you have to move the belt along manually underneath you. However, they have less cushion and are not ideal for anyone with balance or mobility issues. If you are an experienced runner or conditioned athlete looking for more advanced training, then a manual treadmill may be the right choice. For those who are looking for everyday conditioning with a bit more cushion for joint comfort, then we recommend a standard treadmill. We have done a review of the Peloton Tread, which is a slat belt treadmill with both motorized and manual functionality. You can find that review here and the YouTube video is here.

Will you make a video about this and if it is worth the money of going from an electric to manual? I have read that electric treadmills only work your hip flexors and manual curved are like walking/running outside.
