The specs for this treadmill say it is rated for user weights up to 350 lbs. Does anyone know how accurate that is? Any big &amp; tall users out there?

I am currently using the TR1200DT model. I am over 350 and it works just fine. That said, they do have a heavier duty model, the TR5000DT, but it's almost $1000 more than the 1200.

To use it as intended it takes a good degree of balance. I would probably go with a regular treadmill. The workout is excellent if they are very balanced.

Precor suggest that you do not use it if your weight exceeds 500 pounds. And not to run on it if you weigh 350 pounds or more.

I was 152 lbs when I started running on this treadmill. It's very sturdy but a little noisier than most. I listen to music while running so it doesn't bother me. Be advised, this is NOT a flat surface treadmill, it has a slight incline. I took 2 1" pieces of practical board and lifted the rear . Even after that it's still sturdy.

According to the information that came with mine, weight limit is 300 lbs. I'm impressed with how heavy and durable the plastic is. The bellows are, or should be completely sealed and shouldn't be losing any air when the unit's not in use. Before each workout I "top off" the air in each bellow by holding down the big black button and gently pulling up on the step part of each step. This seems to replenish any air that might have escaped during the previous workout and reinflates the bellows - it seems to be important to do this before using it each time. Very clear instructions for doing this are given by Brenda on the DVD that comes with the Air Climber. I hope this helps! According to the information that came with mine, weight limit is 300 lbs.

Wish someone would answer you. I am interested as well. Maybe not that fast though. I weigh about 100lbs and am hoping due to my size (being a shrimp) that I can get away with a machine that isn't monster-sized. This one seems ideal. I run about 6-7mph...Please let me know if you've found anything out!Thanks,Julie

I'm over 300 lbs. and use it everyday. I've had it 3 or 4 months and have had no problems.

Oops. Sorry. I thought you were asking about a different model. This is a good treadmill. I walk on it at 4 mph and there is no rattle or anything so I don't see you having a problem running on it.

Christopher, I would liken this treadmill at just slightly less than the ones I used to use at the County Recreation Center. I am 5'9 and 200 and have been using this thing to walk 4 miles per day at 15 minute miles five days a week. I keep the belt lubricated with silicone like the manual says and have had zero problems with it. Everything works today the same as it has for the past two years. This has been a quality piece of equipment that is built very well. I can't see that you would have a problem with it at all. Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact me if you have anymore. Christopher, I would liken this treadmill at just slightly less than the ones I used to use at the County Recreation Center.

It is a little bit on the heavy side my guess is 10lbs or so (I'm bad at estimates -- might be a little more.) Still this is for me one of the best exercise equipment I ever bought especially if one has leg issues as treadmill is too dangerous and the bike is okay but of short duration. It has a calorie and mile counter and over time I burn additional calories as I do my other daily activities. In addition it keeps my arms firmer. Wonderful piece of equipment. I put it together myself and have been using it now about five years. It shows no sign of wear. I use it strictly for upper body but if you have use of your legs it does have pedals. If you are not strong get help lifting it or just be careful and do it slowly. I keep it on a short table in front of where I sit so that during TV watching or during commercials I use it. Yes, it is a bit heavy but I can lift it and especially if someone helps. You can adjust the tension too. I do recommend it highly for me it was just what I needed for my arms.

Sorry for the delay in reply. I don't think this is a piece of junk. I think for really tall people and hardcore atheletes, this is not what they are looking for. I think really great treadmills cost a LOT, but this is NOT the piece of squeaky, flimsy stuff I hear it is. What I ESPECIALLY like about it, is that to get anything this good, sturdy, quiet, durable, good company- you'd have to pay a lot more- at least twice as much. I think this is one of the better values. If you do want to USE a treadmill, and need one that is quiet and lasts long (Weslo is a good company that seems, even when there are shipping or boxing errors, to stand by their product) - this is really worthwhile. I can see how tall people and athletes would want or even need a bigger bang, regardless of price. This is a no-frills model- but it's great. I'm really glad I didn't go spend less, and get unmotorized or a different one, or spend twice as much. I have no complaints so far and now I've had it a bit of time at least and regular use. It's a really good one for regular but casual use and entry level. Beat the cheaper ones for quite and ease and durability, beats the pricier ones, in that it works well and lasts reasonably and is easy to go from box, to treadmilling, even for sissy weaklings like me. It's not "outstanding, perfect" but I think it's much better than hit or miss. (Plus Amazon has buyer protections if you get a lemon. EVERY mfg of everything, there is always one lemon for every few hundred great ones.) Not perfect, each one every time always, but it's far enough better than luck of draw that it's worth the recommendation.

My treadmill is a "TreadDesk" brand specially designed for standing desks, it's total height is 4 inches from the floor. I set the TrekDesk in the shortest holes, marked F on the side slots to create the shortest desk possible. It measures 46.5 inches from the floor to the work surface. I'm 5'6.5" tall and this setting is just barely comfortable for me. I would prefer the desk be an inch or maybe two shorter. When I add the keyboard on top of the desk, the crook of my arm have to reach up a bit forming an angle a bit less than 90 degrees. This feels a bit "tight" to me, like I always have to hold my arms with bicep tension to reach the keys. I think this desk is designed to work with the more common treadmills that have much taller bases. I'd say mark 46.5 inches on the wall in front of your treadmill then, while standing on the treadmill imagine your keyboard is resting on top of that mark, does it feel comfortable? That's the only way I can think to pre-test the height. For my height treadmill I'd say 5'6.5" is the minimum height this desk fits but it has tons of room for extending it taller and most treadmills are taller than mine. Hope that helps. :)

Probably - the thing about this treadmill is it has a weight limit, only can be used in the incline position, and is very hard to move. Since you are taller and probably heavier than I am (130 pounds) this might not be an issue for you.

The ProForm 590 T Treadmill accommodates up to 300 lbs. So you should be good

I don't run on mine, buy my adult son is 5.6 and he didn't have any problems, not sure if that helps. Might depend on if you have shorter torso and longer legs or visa versa. Very solid treadmill, though.

Hi! Thanks for your question. The maximum user weight on this model is 300 pounds. We checked with the Stamina product expert, and these height and weight ranges should be no problem on this machine. -Allison at MassageSupplier - PilatesSupplier
