Good running machine sub £1000 - possible?

[heisthegaffer]

Hi all

Rather than sit around watching telly, I want to get a running machine, preferably a folding one at sub £1,000.

Is this possible and can anyone recommend one?

Thanks

This would meet the bill,

but... just put some trainers on and jog outside, it's far more fun

I have a jtx sprint 5. Does everything I need and connects with Zwift if that's your thing. Folds, but feels sturdy. If you were very tall, it might not be a big enough bed, but inhave small legs.

Following on from this, I have a JTX Sprint 7. It's slightly above your budget at £1099, but does have a 145 x 51cm running deck. This feels pretty roomy for me and I'm 6ft tall. I'm really pleased with it overall.

There aren't that many differences between mine and the Sprint 5 though, and the Sprint 5 is only £859.

very happy with my JTX Sprint 7 - purchased at the beginning of lockdown

Fitness 5 ordered now, arriving next week.

Will let you know how I get on.

Cheers all

JTX Fitness 5 ordered, delivered and set up.

Really happy with it other than terrible start and shut down sounds you can't turn off and the fan is either utterly pony or is broken.

Other than that, really happy with it and would recommend.
