I recently purchased this treadmill, and it arrived last week. I have had the opportunity to run on it, and it seems VERY sturdy. I am a 200 pound guy, and it can handle me with ease. One of the reasons I purchased this machine is because it weighs around 300 pounds. I felt that would give the treadmill more of a commercial quality feel. In my opinion, this is a very heavy duty machine that will easily handle your weight.

I'll go J. Hamit one better -- I'm around 300 pounds, and still walking, not running, but this treadmill copes with me with absolutely no problems. I've used mine for over a year now, and I'd say go for it -- this is not one of the "cheapies". Do get the extended warranty; this advice from one of the people who worked on my previous Sears LifeStyler under maintenance contract (it lasted for 10 years; the Bowflex was my Christmas present to me 16 months ago, and the Sears one was sold to a member of my favorite church for $300 -- which the church got). Good Luck Treading!

Well, I weigh 115l bs and it seems fine. My husband actually just commented that when we were putting together, he layed down on it and creeked. He weighs 220 though. I would say up to 150 maybe, not entirely sure.

I weigh 215lbs. I've had this bed for like 2 months and its still sturdy, and I toss and turn a lot. Not because of the bed now its out of habit. Hope this information helps.

I am 208 lbs and it is working great for me. I think it is pretty sturdy and should work for you too. Because it feels like there is still some give when I am on it. I hope this helps you.

Definitely! My husband is 275. I'm right at 200. And we have had ours for some time. With lots of gymnastics. And it's still holding up with no problem.

I weigh about 120 and it works well for me, to be honest I really have no idea,

Adults can use it just fine - my husband and I do. However, you do have to keep it quite taut with heavier folk because the line can sink down to the support base. I'm 140 lbs and my husband is 195. The challenge is still HUGE to keep your balance even when taut so I'm sure I'm getting a core workout with it. We love it.

I weigh 170 ib and it can barely spring back when I tried using it! I'm looking to sell mine after a single use.

I have my height adjustments about halfway, leaving about 6 inches to lower, and my treadmill is about 6 to 8 inches high. Raising and lowering would be easier with two people, as the adjustments are on both sides. Maybe with office chair lifted to max height looks doable to me. Walking at 1 mph i find is easy to fully function computer, phone, even writing long hand not disturbed too much. Standing I feel I would lean (terrible posture). I hope any of this helps. Should also mention, I have found the lack of swollen feet and ankles an added bonus. Best of luck to you.

I'm not sure and cannot check at the moment as it is put away for the winter, but I use it all the time and it holds me and it holds my husband as well and we are both over 160lbs each. It works no problem for us. I think your son will be fine on it. It's great exercise once you get a little used to it. I love mine! Works better on pavement until you build some muscle and a slight downhill grade will help until you are a pro. :)

Do you mean maximum weight of a person on the unit? If so, I don't know the official answer. You'd have to get that information from the manufacturer. The unit is very study and stable. I weigh 195, and from a engineering standpoint I have no doubt the unit would handle a 300 pound person. A bigger question is this: Should a very heavy person be using an inversion table? That's a question for the individual's doctor.

I am about 160 lbs and I typically walk for about 4 to 5 hours a day. I haven't had any issues and the treadmill feels very sturdy. According to their website the max weight is 300 lbs. http://www.lifespanfitness.com/tr800-dt3-under-desk-treadmill

I don't know how heavy you are, but it seems to me that it's fine for jogging 3 miles 3-4 times a week. I am petite, about 5'4" and 115Lbs, so this machine would be fine for me to jog that much; and it looks and feels as durable as the machines at 24 Hour fitness. I'm guessing that jogging that much for someone who's considerably heavier than me would be a bit questionable, but I am not an expert to assess that. Nevertheless, it feels like it will take it just fine.

I weighed 183 when I started and my husband is 240. It stands up to the weight. I would say that it could easily handle a 350 pound person. It also has wheels on the front stand that make it very easy to move. We love it!

I weight about 155 and its sturdy when you do multiple exercise on it. It is a little shaky but I think is because of my ground level.

, I think about 60 pounds is fine for me but im kind of built.. hmm I would say for any type of person maybe 30-40 pounds
