Where to rent a treadmill in Chiang Mai?

[Kunjay]

Google shows nothing regarding renting a treadmill, does anybody know if it is even possible to rent a treadmill in CM?

 

Thanks

Go the mall and walk UP the Down escalator, and enjoy the view of the cuties shopping.. ???? Or just take a long walk...free

they rent by the day at local gyms... never heard of anyone renting exercise equipt though it is not a bad idea.. probably plenty unused around.. though you might be a market of one... 

first you need to pay for delivery and return when done..

hey Ton.. I guess that depends on how long the stay... not sure how buying/re-selling figures out.. I expect not great.. maybe look for a used one??

considering weight (your weight, its weight), price, ruggedness, cost of repair, etc. ... join a health club for whatever duration ?

i'd be curious to know if anyone here who weighs over 70  kg. has a frequently used  treadmill over one year old ...  purchased for  20k  baht or less  ...  that has not broken down.

if you go to a health club, you might get ... inspiration; or, guilt, that motivates you.

To my shame I am well over 70Kg but my Horizon treadmill  puts up with it every day.

Bought about 5 years ago, am sure not over 20k

There's nothing shameful about that. Anyone under 70 KG must be a woman.

I’m about 87-90kg (191cm) and have tried those sporting goods store sub $1,000 (฿30,000) treadmills in the past  They felt like they were going break just walking on them.

I went looking online for “gym quality” treadmills to see if I could find what I was used to using in the gym (life fitness) and was pretty shocked to see that they ran from $7,000 to $10,000 (฿200,000-300,000)

A stationary bike would be a lot more economical I think. I picked up a pretty basic one for around 7k a few years ago and it still works fine. It's not pretty and it only has a basic odometer, heart rate monitor etc. but it seems to be built pretty well.

In my experience cross trainers or ellipticals are more reliable and last longer than treadmills.

You can find a Concept2 model 'D' rower locally for less than 60K (I realize a rowing machine is a completely different animal from a treadmill, but it's another option).  I imported one myself (several years ago) directly from their US distributor for less than 40K total including shipping and import taxes.

Bought this beauty on Lazada 3 years ago for 6000 baht. Probably 500 hours on it. I'm a 2.45 marathoner over 50 yo so it gets lots of hard runs. The trick is the incline and for this TM it has to be steep. 8 % at least but if pushing 100.kilos probly 10% or more.  

It is tiny and after cutting off the arms, I can carry like a suitcase when traveling. The Pic is on a trip to a race Phayao.

i am pretty sure you are in violation of more than one politically correct statute.

I for one am filing a grievance on behalf of the under 70 KG  demographic .  Oddly enough,

seems like more men are in that group than women  ????

Yeah.........right.

Modesty is definitely not one of your vices. Seventyish years old and still feels the need to boast (lie) about their sexual prowess. Who names themselves "knows a lot"?

You seem to have a sense of humour.
That's what I usually do with my REAL girlfriend too.

That was a joke but you left it wide open. Cheers

Under 154 lbs or under 11 stone in English money seems a bit light for a full grown man but no offence was meant. I guess if you're short then you're in proportion.

i take no offense,  as many of my posts are made tongue in cheek .  The height,  color, intelligence,  or sexual preference of other members makes little difference to me.

I do hate full grown men though.   ????????????????????

At 6 ft, I’d be emaciated if I weighed only 70 KG.
