Slippery Treadmill


Quote  |  Reply

Hi there -

I have an interesting question for you.  I have a treadmill at home, but compared to others I use, the belt feels almost slippery.  Like it needs more tread on the top.  Has anyone encountered this?  I know it's not my sneakers, they're fairly new and are fine on the other treadmills I use.  Is there anything I can spray on the belt to give it more traction?  Thanks!

Not sure about a spray but maybe try those things you stick in the tub so you dont slip ??

That's a great idea!!  Thank you!!

I'm having the same problem with my home treadmill--did you find a solution?

Thanks!

Is it possible the belt is slipping?  That can give the impression that your foot is slipping.  There should be a way to adjust the tension on the belt.  That's my best guess.
