Gold's Gym 450 Treadmill.. ok for walkers..
by Erin
(Midland, MI)
I bought this treadmill thinking it would be a pretty good buy for around $400. Upon using this machine, I was pretty happy with it.. until the incline gets above 2 and the speed above a 4mph. When I hit this point on the treadmill, the belt starts to randomly skid. I called the manufacturer and was told that I was not lifting my feet up enough or the belt was loose. This treadmill comes pretty much assembled, only had to bolt on the upper part, had no work to do with the belt whatsoever. I don't drag my feet, at all, so I know that was not the issue, plus it happened with other people that I had test it out. I tightened the belt, same problem. This treadmill is good for brisk walking, I will not run on it. The random skid that happens almost makes a person fall off.
