Purchased a city sports walking pad from decathlon and paid strong money for it in August 2025 walking pad worked well it was quite a good sturdy walking pad only the belt didn’t last 6 months before it wore through and he’s hanging on by a thread so will not use any , contacted decathlon they said not their problem so try to contact city sports several times to no avail they did say thier back office will contact me and did say they could potentially give me a belt a belt from somewhere but nobody got did contact me and the belts were a roundabout £50 and you’ve gotta get it fitted and the walking pad was only about 200 quid so what would be the point ? poor Service poor Customer Service shocking quality of belt and no backup even though the walking pad wasn’t even a year old definitely don’t have a warranty policy will never purchase another one and put me off walking pads for good
Poor quality and very disappointing customer service
I purchased a CITYSPORTS walking pad in May 2025 and have only used it a handful of times. The machine has been properly lubricated, but it has developed a serious issue when being used.
When there is weight on the walking pad, the belt becomes extremely jittery and can harshly stop or catch suddenly. This makes the machine feel unstable and, in my opinion, potentially unsafe to use.
I contacted CITYSPORTS to explain the problem and specifically raised my concerns about the safety of continuing to use the machine. Unfortunately, I have found their response very unhelpful. Rather than properly investigating the issue or arranging for the machine to be inspected, I have been left without a satisfactory solution.
For a product that is designed to be used while someone is walking on it, sudden stopping and severe jolting is a significant safety concern. I expected much better customer service and support, particularly given that the machine has had very little use.
I would strongly encourage CITYSPORTS to take safety complaints more seriously and provide proper after-sales support when a customer reports a potentially dangerous fault.
Please to any customers looking to purchase a running machine, please don't bother as these machines are not built to last. They will break along with screws coming loose, and city sports will not replace or fix

I made the mistake of buying the WP-6 through Decathlon, I tried to return said product, however Decathlon keeps telling me to wait for Citysport to give me a return label. I've been mailing non-stop for one, and I received my first e-mail back from Citysport after 2 weeks. I followed their instructions to a T, and mailed them back. Then they didn't answer for 2 days again after which they gave me new instructions. I'm not getting a return am I?

We sincerely apologise for the endless delays and frustrating back-and-forth communication you have experienced whilst returning your WP-6 treadmill, as well as for the slow and inconsistent email support provided by our after-sales team.
It is entirely unacceptable that you have had to wait so long for a return label, and that despite carefully following our instructions, you have received delayed replies and conflicting guidance. We fully understand your concerns and frustration regarding whether your return will be handled properly.
We would ask you to provide further order details (name, email address and order number) via private message. Once we have received this information, we will personally follow up on your return to ensure there are no further unnecessary delays.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.

CAN NOT CANCEL, Impossible to get them to stop charging YOUR/MY credit card.
Occasionally they send a reply to thank me for my kind words and they are glad I am enjoying my membership.
Frustrating and Costly
The company is 1 7 billion in debt, just sued by the FTC for not allowing people to cancel.

I ordered a walking pad. Around thirty minutes after ordering, I attempted to cancel. I contacted the provided contact addresses multiple times but was ignored until after the product shipped, at which point I was told there was nothing they could do because the product had been sent. This is after attempting several other contact methods located on their website, none of which worked when I tried them.
When I asked to return the item, I was instructed to "discover the joy of exercise" instead. When I pushed back and requested a return, after several months, I was told they would provide me with a prepaid return label to send it back. They never provided this label and have stopped responding to my emails entirely -- and they were already taking a week to respond prior to this.
I would not and could not ever recommend this company to anyone; the customer service experience is extremely poor.
UPDATE 23-04-2026: As requested, I have provided the details asked for and am waiting for further contact.

I bought one of these walking Pads 4 or 5 months ago. I’ve only used it probably five times., I have smelt burning recently, then the belt has started guttering and making a lot of knocking noises, tried to contact the seller on TikTok shop, then contacted TikTok shop who were an absolute waste of time, I will no longer be buying anything from both the TikTok shop or city sports, I guess you get what you pay for..

Ordered a replacement remote as the walking pad doesn’t work without it and I ordered it on 3rd September, it’s now 16th October and they are ignoring my emails and I still don’t have the remote! I have raised a dispute with my bank (luckily I paid on a credit card). The company is a complete scam and the customer service is the worst I’ve ever experienced. Save your money and buy something else

We apologise once again for the inconvenience caused and hope to provide a solution that meets your satisfaction.
Best regards.
Brought my Citysports walking pad through Decathlon. Had it now for 6 months & happy with it so far. I now need to get one that runs over 6Kph if citysports do one I’ll get it from them!
City sports are a con.
I brought a treadmill back in February as we was shielding, due to my husband going through Chemoimmunitherapy.
It clonked & then worked fine.
Every now & then it clonked over 6 months.
Last month the belt kept moving to the left & no adjustment would work.
I have tried contacting them but, they just ignore you.
Please don't waste your time, money or, energy on this Scam of a Company.

Dear Customer,
We are deeply sorry to hear that your treadmill has been experiencing mechanical faults over the past few months, and we sincerely regret that we were unable to respond promptly and provide support when you needed it.
We sincerely hope your husband’s treatment goes well, and we fully appreciate the stress and disappointment caused by this faulty product and our failure to address your concerns.
All treadmill faults, running belt alignment issues and unusual noises are covered under warranty. We would ask you to provide further details (such as your name, email address and order details), and we will immediately arrange for a comprehensive resolution, repair or replacement.
Yours faithfully,
I purchased a treadmill from CitySports in May 2025, and within the first week I reported getting electric shocks from it. Their response was to dismiss my concerns and tell me to “put a towel on the armrest.” Since then the treadmill has deteriorated further and now produces a burning smell and overheating belt after 20 minutes of use, which makes it unsafe.
Instead of honouring the 12-month warranty they confirmed to me in writing before purchase, CitySports have repeatedly fobbed me off. They have asked me to provide “videos” of a smell (which is impossible) and keep stalling instead of arranging a repair, replacement, or refund.
What makes this worse is that I’ve since seen many other reviews with customers reporting the exact same issues — burning smell, overheating, electrical faults — and CitySports have ignored them too.
This company does not respect consumer law or its own warranty promises. Their products are unsafe, and their customer service is dismissive and unhelpful. I would strongly warn anyone to avoid buying from CitySports.

Complete rip off taken my money sent my a faulty treadmill only worked for 4 weeks it’s burning smell doesn’t move no refund or help I would NOT recommend city sports to nobody the only reason I’ve give it 1 star because won’t let you write a review NO stars for me please people Don’t BUY customers service is none existent I I ordered of TikTok
No goods delivered being given the run around told how to fill forms for non receipt of goods . To be told i asked for chargeback? so my fault I have to try to get the money through my bank. Clearly a scam no order ever sent in the first place 194.00
Stolen from me this was a present for my daughter. Absolute thieves DO NOT RISK YOUR MONEY on this SCAM!
Had this bought for me by my partner June 2024 by November 2024 it stopped working with an error code. Unable to contact via email they will not reply got a telephone number ringing them every week since December, done exactly what they’ve asked and told an engineer will come out to try and fix it and still nobody. Now they say they will send out another machine but still no sight of that. Would never recommend this company absolute shambles!
Ordered treadmill through ticktock, although i gave correct address , they delivered to wrong house . Iteam was brought for a young adult with additional needs (Autism) they refused to accept responsibility and are not willing to refund or send another treadmill. Don't even respond to emails, denied refund through tiktok shop. Even gave proof that it wasn't my address. Stealing money from a young adult with additional needs. Scumbags !
CITYSPORTS do not respond to emails, they offer a 12 month warranty treadmill stopped working after 6 months but CITYSPORTS can not be contacted email just ignored. It is ironic that I received an email yesterday from Amazon 'Stay alert about the latest scams' yet Amazon take payment from there customers on behalf of a company like CITYSPORTS who are allowed to sell on there platform. I will be reporting CITYSPORTS to Trading Standards they do not honor warranties, electrical smell which could be a fire hazard and offer no customer service I know they will not be able to help with the warranty.
I bought a treadmill a few months ago after a month it stopped working it was making a weird noise and saying error iv been trying to contact the seller which is impossible wouldn't waist your time buying from city sports
I bought myself the Citysport WP3 treadmill, after a few weeks it started to make awful sounds and walking on it felt not safe anymore. I contacted the supplier Noblefu, they sent me a repair video and the item that needed to be replaced but both the item and the video did not match up. The supplier did not reply to my messages about what to do now they are not reachable anymore. So now I am stuck with a broken treadmill and my guarantee is going to expire soon. I advice people not to buy any treadmills from Citysports because you are going to have to make your own repairs and contacting the people you bought it from is going to be futile. Contacting the official company City Sports is not possible, since you get 'delivery failed' message in your inbox.
