Yes most treadmills have weight limits, I was 380 and my treadmill only went up to 350 , I still used it but tried to take it easy and not burn up the motor. Check with the gym the weight limit should be on the machine. Running on a treadmill is tricky for me at least, I am the worlds worst multitasker and can barely walk and watch tv. This being said there are many people here who run on treadmills every day. Again talk to BeingKevin for a great example.0

I run every other day in a C25K program on a treadmill. The ones at my gym are pretty heavy duty and I have seen people much bigger than me (I started at 310 lbs) walking on them.0
