Oddball treadmill question
<em>steve outing</em>'s picture
Posted by steve outing on 12/27/2006

So I finally bought a treadmill -- and it's a tank. A local health club was getting rid of some old Life Fitness 9100HRs for a good price, and I figured that would serve me better than a cheaper, lighter one that would be all I could handle budget-wise. Works well; I'm happy with it -- especially with Boulder's recent snow barrage.

Alas, it's in my garage now but where I want it is in a room on the 2nd floor of my house. So here's my oddball question: This thing is HEAVY; it took 3 people to get it in my van. It's so heavy that I wonder if it's too much for the structure of my wood-frame house to handle (especially when you factor in the weight and force of the runner).

Anyone have experience with this? Maybe a stupid question, but I'd like to put my mind at ease before putting it upstairs.

My mom has a treadmill upstairs (smaller) and one problem I've noticed is that the walls in the room and below vibrate a bunch. So, the weight might be one issue, but the vibrations from pounding is another. Of course, all of this depends on how solid your house is...

Hope this helps.
