A treadmill is a device generally used for walking, running, or climbing while staying in the same place. Treadmills were introduced before the development of powered machines to harness the power of animals or humans to do work, often a type of mill operated by a person or animal treading the steps of a treadwheel to grind grain. In later times, treadmills were used as punishment devices for people sentenced to hard labour in prisons. The terms treadmill and treadwheel were used interchangeably for the power and punishment mechanisms.
More recently, treadmills have instead been used as exercise machines for running or walking in one place. Rather than the user powering a mill, the device provides a moving platform with a wide conveyor belt driven by an electric motor or a flywheel. The belt moves to the rear, requiring the user to walk or run at a speed matching the belt. The rate at which the belt moves is the rate of walking or running. Thus, the speed of running may be controlled and measured. The more expensive, heavy-duty versions are motor-driven (usually by an electric motor). The simpler, lighter, and less expensive versions passively resist the motion, moving only when walkers push the belt with their feet. The latter are known as manual treadmills.
Treadmills continue to be the biggest-selling exercise equipment category by a large margin. As a result, the treadmill industry has hundreds of manufacturers throughout the world.

Bought this during the first lockdown and it’s been a valuable addition to my home gym set-up. Pros – Lighyweight and simple to manoeuvre – Folds down easily to be stored out of the way – Performance is reliable (I also use a footpod on it and the speed/distance readings are fairly well aligned). – Good build quality – Easy to set-up – Exceptional value for money Cons – Quite noisy when in use. I’ve had to put it in the garage as the whole house would shake when it was in the bedroom! – Top speed is only 16Kph. I knew this on purchase but would still prefer if it could go up to 20kph. – Not as sturdy as the versions in a professional gym but this is not unexpected given the size and weight. Summary An excellent value treadmill, suitable for someone looking for a model than can be moved around easily or even folded up when not in use. Thoroughly recommend.

We bought this during 1st lockdown mainly because of the good reviews and the fact that it folds so flat as we are limited for space when not using it. We were looking for a straightforward machine without too many bells and whistles. We like: ease of set up; reliability (after 6 months’ use); speed and inclination features are perfect for our standard of running .. a 55 min 10K-er and a 5k plodder; competitive price and excellent delivery from Sweatband. We don’t like: bottle holders (waste of time, too shallow, but absolutely not a deal-breaker); it’s noisy in use but to be expected given its foldability. Overall so far we’re delighted with it and would recommend it. Just don’t expect professional gym heavyweight standard equipment.

Excellent treadmill. Usually I run outdoors but wanted to avoid the mob of new runners who have appeared since lockdown & have little etiquette/would push their own gran out the way to make a Strava time. Efficient use of space and folds away nicely when not in use. Only slight flaw is the bottle holder is too shallow as others commented – but not a dealbreaker for me. Great service from Sweatband too-friendly and a pleasure to buy from at a good price too.

Cant fault the machine or the service received from Sweatband.

This product was everything I expected and with the lockdown it has been brilliant as not being able to get out for usual runs and exercise. Great delivery and easy assembly.

I bought the LunsaRun because I needed a treadmill that folds up and needs the minimum amount of space, and that’s exactly what it does. The footprint is tiny, and easy to move around, so it’s prefect if you have limited space. The accuracy is good and the buttons/features all work well. A couple of points where it needs to improve are the rigidity and the bottle holders. When running, especially at speed, the dashboard does move quite a bit, so I’ve fixed this with some gaffer tape and rubber spacers. The bottles holders are useless, so I ended up cutting off the bottoms so a bottle actually fits! And there’s no way a tablet or smartphone will stay put in the holder when running; I fixed this with a huge elastic band. In summary I’d recommend this if you need a folding treadmill.

After a lot of research we purchased the Viavito Lunarun Fold Flat Treadmill. With limited space it had to be used in our hall and folded up after every use. It has been used every day for the last six months and folds completely to stand securely and flush against our hall wall. The track is an excellent size and a lot bigger than a lot of other treadmills. I only wish I’d purchased one years ago never thinking we had sufficient space. Although heavy to lift at first I soon got used to it and I can now put it away with ease. Being an asthmatic I have never been able to walk very fast and after six months I am now jogging within my daily routine.

I have bought this treadmill for my mother during lockdown in July 2020. She has used it nearly every day since. Best investment we he made in along time. She is so happy? Which makes us happy in return. The treadmill is still working fine. It folds into a really small space to make some more room when needed.
