I weigh somewhere between 300 and 350. Would this treadmill be safe for me to use? If not, is there another, small, treadmill that would work better?

The manual says only those who weigh 250 lbs or less can safely use this treadmill. For your safety I would not recommend you try this one. I have no knowledge of other treadmills so can not guide you.

This one would not work for you. It is very hard to use I way 269 and had a very hard time using it I bought an eletric one and like it much better

I weighed 233 when I started using it...lost 10 lbs so far...I would say it would work for you...good luck :)

i would say so, because it is not electric powered, so that you walk at your own pace (with some min speed)

Dear David,I don't think I can recommend the Weslo CardioStride 3.0, the instruction booklet that came with the machine said 'the treadmill should be used pnly by persons weighing 250 lbs (113 kg) or less'. I measured the platform under the tread belt and it measures 1/2 inch. You may want to check with a professional at a gym to give you the name of a machine that would be better suited to your physical stature.

Holly,The website and paperwork say it is good for up to 300 lbs. My wife and I both use this machine and I weigh in at about 275 lbs and have no problem with the machine.

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.

it is not bad it goes very up and it has different types of modes that goes up and down to loose weight. it is better to go to walmart ,they also have so many varities, that you can see and try them before you buy, also you can try sears they also have them in close out prices( january sale) . i would not spend more then 400 dollar (plus tax and deliver) on this treadmill.if it is more try those super stores , i think you will find better and powerfull machine then this .

My husband is 6' 1 and 190 lbs and I am 5' 2 and 135 lbs and the stride length is fine. The foot bed looks a little narrower than commercial treadmills, but it is fine for both of us. We use it at a maximum of 4 mph.

I weighed about 270 when I started using it and there were no problems. I did have to re-tighten the desk bolts and one person said that they could hear me walking on a conference call, but the treadmill was fine.

yes, I can. it's highest speed of 6.2 and i weigh about 100 lbs but I run on it fine while my husband jogs on it at about 126lbs at the 5 setting. hope that helps because before I bought it some people say they couldn't run on it.

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

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

Not really sure! I did read the manual and I think its 400 and searching the web some say its 300 pounds You can call the company for accurate information. I love my treadmill. Especially winter running. Hope this helps.

Purchased this for someone who weighed about 350 and it was perfect. If the weight limit says up to 450, I would give it a chance.

No, it would not work well with a person who weights more than 300 lbs. I'm pretty small (about 125 lbs) and it works fairly well for me, but I would get something thicker in this case.

I would consider this a beginners treadmill. If you are a runner, outside or a high end treadmill would be more appropriate for you.

I am not sure about the weight limit, but I started using this when I was at 250. I have lost about 15. It is well built, for 350, you may want to look at some for higher quality. It is still doable and you will get good result.

Yes, b/c that's what I want to use it for, for a treadmill sit/stand desk set-up, walking between 0.5 and 2.0 mph, just to keep the circulation going and give me energy for my real workouts. The TreadDesk company says you need a stronger continous hp motor b/c the low but constant use is more taxing on the mechanism. That is also why I'm looking at the Merit 725T Plus treadmill. Check out the specs. Much higher. Newer model.

yes I'm 5'7 and I can walk on it... it says it can hold up to 220 pounds I'm 170 and when I run I just don't feel like its enough room on the treadmill
