Treadmills from Blue Shell

Different Treadmill Types:

  1. Folding treadmills - If you are short on space, a folding treadmill is the answer. Make sure if folds easy, is stable and has a high maximum user weight.

  2. Non-Folding treadmills - If you have the space, a non-folding treadmill is ideal. Non-folding treadmills tend to be slightly more stable compared to folding models.

  3. Commercial treadmills - Commercial treadmills are suited for a commercial environment such as a health club or gym. They are designed for heavy usage throughout their lifetime, which is why you will find such good warranties on commercial treadmills.

Popular customer questions:

At Blue Shell we have dealt with tens of thousands of customers since 1971 and the most common questions are shown below:


• Do I buy a cheap treadmill or a mid range/commercial one?

If you plan to use a treadmill for long distance running you should consider a mid range or commercial one (20000 LE and above). If you plan to use it for walking/light jogging then a treadmill machine under 25000 LE should suffice, for 2021


• Will it be comfortable to use?

Whilst the majority of them are comfortable to use it can be hard to make a purchasing decision whilst viewing them on our website. We always recommend trying out a treadmill at one of our showrooms to help you make an informed decision.

Taller people (6' and over) generally have longer running strides. Because of this it's recommended that tall people should consider a belt length of at least 140 cm (55")
