SB Fitness CT250 Self-Generated Curved Walking Treadmill

It seems no one can make a treadmill that is truly quiet enough to use in shared spaces. It's not unusually loud but I was hoping for a significantly a lower DB level at normal walking pace. The noise is also a little inconsistent and if not tuned perfectly there can be occasional distracting squeaks. I think this machine could reach a much larger market if they could get the noise level down. I don't understand why this is not a top priority for manufactures.

Other than that, this so far is a great machine for the price point. It natural to use at a slow walk or even sprint (but again, it's damn loud when running fast).

I tore my ACL and walking on a motorized treadmill hurt my knee. The manual treadmill does not hurt the injury and is helping me to regain the strength I lost while recuperating. It was packaged very well. Instructions were easy to understand. It does take two people to assemble. And, there is definitely a learning curve. Hold onto the railings!

I purchased this about a year ago (order #1246) and it has changed my lifestyle. I use it as the walking component of a walking desk (without the handlebars), so it gets use almost every single day, for 3+ hours a day, and it remains as good as new. Compared to an electric treadmill, it is better for balance, burns more calories, and requires zero maintenance or messy lubricant. I couldn't be happier and am grateful a company making affordable quality products in this category exists.

Verified purchase order #1502. Thoroughly impressed with the customer service involvement. Picking the appropriate treadmill, setup, and any questions/concerns. Customer service were diligent & quick on response. Simply reach out to the customer service representatives, and you will feel the company is about the product and not about the profit.
Thanks again, SB Fitness.

I’ve had hip injuries for more than a decade that made the “drag” of a normal treadmill hideously painful. 2 new hips, and it still hurts!

I had read that motorless treads work the rear chain instead of the front chain, and seeing as how a) I’m not supposed to “run”, and b) I REALLY like the full length rails, I decided to give this a shot.

There was a definite learning/strengthening curve…I think I started out at about 10 mins. Am up to a an hour and my glutes are stronger than they have been in years!

Minor criticism, which is kind of a nit,,,the console is questionable. Calorie burn is past fantasyland, and mileage is iffy (like 15 mins at consistently over 2mph should be a minimum of .5 miles, not .2).
