My day job involves entering people's basements, and I run into an unused treadmill about once a week. I finally got up the gumption to ask for one, and I managed to snag it and bring it home using my work van. (My car isn't big enough to move this kind of shit around, which also made it difficult for me to grab a free treadmill from craigslist.) I was hesitant to spend money on a treadmill because I worried that it would suck, I wouldn't use it, my spare money can be better used for mutual aid, etc., but I've been wanting a treadmill for years. Sometimes the weather sucks (freezing rain, for instance) and I don't want to go running outside, but thanks to the glories of this random treadmill it's just also so easy now to head into my basement and walk for an hour while fucking around on my phone. It's also helped with my sleep issues a lot.

Just wanted to advocate for this in case anyone else is in a similar situation.
