Treadmills

Caveman_4

Looking to get a treadmill. Had settled on Pro-Form 560HR from an online retailer at £595. A couple of calls to confirm delivery and everything was ok. I get an email two days later saying no we don't do Northern Ireland, delivery was too pricey. I am obviously very pi**ed off at them taking the order in the first place.

I did check out parcelforce myself afterwards and find out that delivery would have been upward of £200.

So do you guys know of anywhere in or around Belfast/Antrim and stocks and sells treadmills?

Also if anyone has any experience of treadmills advice would be appreciated. Its mainly need for my missus as we have a new born and i have to travel with work meaning she can be on her own for a fortnight at a time. Running is a necessity to her (eases back pain) not an option. She is fit enough but i reckoned £600 should get something sufficiently sturdy for daily use from her and occassional use from me.

Possibly JJB Sports?? I think I saw some in the Ballymena store around Christmas time, though I might be mistaken.

AH! Have a look at the JJB website............ treadmills available

I purchased a Trimline TM from http://www.powerhouse-fitness.co.uk in Dec 2004.

I managed to get them to deliver to NI and even managed to get them to drop the additional charge they wanted to apply to NI. I think the extra was about £50 but after a bit of too and fro on the phone they dropped it.

I use the TM about 2 times a week most of the year but maybe 4 times in winter. I have not had one problem with it (touch wood) and just adjusted the belt twice. The company told me that they would be able to supply any spares I required from stock.

If they have the TM you are looking for I would try them for free/reduced delivery to see what they say.

Good luck

Glad to hear you saved a few quid. Good luck with the TM and don't let it gather any dust!
