Sunny Health: Your Guide to Wellness

You can control the speed
Some people say it goes too fast, others say it goes too slow, but you can control the speed by what shoes you wear. If you don’t like the speed it is going try wearing a completely different kind of shoes. Some shoes make it too fast others make it too slow and strong and there are others in between. I almost gave up on it, until i tried several different shoes, now, sometimes i use it for a lot of up hill strength resistance other days i like to just free run. I love it.

Good price
I’ve been deluged with the DeerRun walking pad ads on Facebook. I’ve never really been interested in treadmills before, mostly because they seemed way too expensive and way too heavy/unwieldy. But I peeked at Amazon to check out “walking pads.” I might have gone with the DeerRun, but I knew I would need handlebars which jacked the price way up for them.Enter the Sunny treadmill. The non-motorized aspect appealed to me very much (weighs less, fewer things to break down). I’ve known about non-motorized treadmills but mostly the fancy curved ones that cost a month’s rent (also I’m not at all a runner, so that level of sophistication would be wasted on my slower pace). I was pleasantly surprised to see this one at such an affordable price. I’ve bought other Sunny Fitness products and have never been disappointed in their quality for the price.This was super simple to assemble. Basically attach the base and the handles and you’re good to go. (The instructions advise 2 people for the job, but it turns out the styrofoam packing that comes with it is the perfect size to slide under the main body to hold it up while you screw things in.) The main body is not heavy at all. I could easily carry it around with one arm (I’m a fairly out-of-shape woman in my mid 50s, although I’ve always been a little stronger than my peers). Unfortunately when you attach the other parts it becomes pretty unwieldy (I had to carry it upstairs to my office. Still do-able alone, albeit slowly).At first I thought the incline was adjustable as there are two holes on the left side with a pull-out pin, but these seem to just be to secure the main body in the up or down position (honestly, I don’t see the reason for this. It’s not positioned correctly to hold it in the upright position, and with the body down on the floor it’s really not going anywhere. Certainly not back up!) I’m just enough out of shape that even this tiny incline kicks my butt and makes me feel a little unsafe with sliding off the back. I created a DIY solution by leveling it off with some very heavy solid shelves I had. Probably not OSHA approved, but it feels safe enough for me. (Use this idea at your own risk.)The great: It folds up and down very easily and smoothly, and in the folded position it fits perfectly against the wall in my office. The non-motorized belt works pretty smoothly as well, once you get going, and of course stops even easier. It’s very quiet. I used it with my partner sleeping in the next room and she couldn’t hear a thing. Also no floor vibrations at all, another concern as we share a duplex and I know how annoying vibrations from neighbors can be. You can run on it (well, jog. Like I said, the only thing that will get me to run is if I’m being chased). The weight limit is 220 pounds, and I’m right there on the edge. I don’t feel like I’m taxing it at all, so maybe even a little heavier would be manageable.The not so good: Pretty much the only bad thing I can think of is the handlebars. They do the job, but they aren’t rock solid. If you pull back hard enough they do lift up off the floor a little. But at this price point you have to expect some compromise. That’s really the only drawback I can think of. But again, at this price I wasn’t expecting commercial gym quality. I didn’t even bother attaching the “computer” because I don’t care about that data and I already have a fitness watch.I saw a surprising number of these available used on Facebook Marketplace, so reach your own conclusions about that (people unhappy with the quality or people who gave up on using it?) I preferred a new unit because the price was so reasonable. So far I’m very happy with my purchase!

This is pretty much exactly what I was looking for (given my budget). I wanted a manual treadmill that was the size of a walking pad. I previously had an electric walking pad, but I never felt that steady on it – nor did I drag it out often because it was so heavy. This is convenient. I have it standing up next to the wall – not sure it would fit under a couch unless you had quite a tall couch. I wheel it out on its little wheels a few feet and set it up in front of the TV for walking sessions then fold and wheel it back after. I am storing it the same place as my electric one was stored and already I have used it way more than I ever used that one in the two years I had it.A great tip I read was to get a pull-up assist resistance band and loop it around the front of the handle apparatus and have it around you so you can walk hands-free or one-handed more easily. This has made my use more enjoyable and I feel less like I am bearing down over the handles and feel steadier. I am also able to swing either or both arms while doing this for a more natural walking posture.High quality – feels stable and like it will last.

The assembly was a little bit tedious, and yes, 2 persons are needed for the job. Step 1 was tedious because the spanner could only turn the screws a little bit each time. Step 2 – joining the vertical supports to the base was slightly confusing until we figured out that we needed to lift the base. Step 3 – not included ! Step 4 – had to be a little bit more careful not to damage the computer sensor wiring of the handle bar when attaching it to the vertical supports. In general, instructions were clear, and tools and screws are provided. The base was already oiled for me, so I did not need to do that step again. The moving belt responds to my walking motion, and I can stop anytime, but beware, sudden stop is not safe, as you can lose your balance. Big strides also not so suitable because the feet can hit the end of the belt behind you. I think I need to adjust my walking pace and stride length in order to use this equipment safely and efficiently. I think I will do a gentle short walking session for the time being. Quite happy with my purchase.

Tenia mis dudas si comprar esta caminadora o una electrica (Seria mi primer caminadora en casa).Por el precio compre esta caminadora y me encanto.Caracteristicas: (Ya con bastante tiempo de uso)1.- Los materiales se ven resistentes.2.- Facil de armar y no ocupa mucho espacio. (Tambien se puede doblar para almacenar)3.- El aparato para medir la distancia, calorias, velocidad, etc. Es muy simple y fragil, pero cumple la funcion.4.- Tiene lugar para descansar del ejercicio y para apoyarse con las manos.5.- No tiene lugar para poner una botella de agua u otro accesorio.6.- No es muy ruidosa.7.- La banda es de buena calidad y se puede ajustar (la dureza) nivel de resistencia, aunque es un poco dificil aprender a ajustarla.8.- El unico mantenimiento que requiere es aceitarla (El aceite viene incluido) y es facil de aplicar.Posibles puntos a tomar en cuenta a la hora de comprarla.1.- No es electrica, asi que uno tiene que ajustar el nivel de resistencia de la banda. Al principio me resulto un poco complicado ajustarla, pero le aprendes el truco y una vez que la dejas lista ya no tienes que hacer a nada.2.- La caminadora tiene una inclinacion que puede hacer dificil su uso las primeras veces. (No es plana y no se puede cambiar ese ajuste) Lo Bueno de esa inclinacion es que en realidad estas haciendo mayor y mejor ejercicio. Pero quizas no todas las personas puedan dominarla (Por problemas de rodillas por ejemplo)3.- (No lo he intentado) No creo que este hecha para trotar o correr en ella. Pero la simple caminata normal es mas que suficiente para hacer un buen ejercicio.
