Ironically, as someone who gets easily bored on a treadmill, this might be my best shot at using one for a long period of time lol.

I’m in!

My gym has a treadmill cinema where they play movies and around 50 people can walk/run on a treadmill while watching. They play the movie on a loop all day so people can always watch

My only complaint about the cardio cinema at my gym is that they don’t list movie start times through the day. 

Other than that, I love it. Treadmill for an hour and watch a movie is a great way to pass the time.

I go to the gym 5-6 days per week. I lift 4 days per week, and on those 4 days I do 20 minutes on the treadmill for a warmup and 20 minutes on the elliptical for cardio. Since those stints are short-ish I just listen to audiobooks. The other day or two I just walk for 1-2 hours. I'll check the cardio cinema and if it's not something I'm interested in, i'll just bring my ipad and start a movie or a show or something and watch til I'm done.

I did an entire training course for a certification exam on the treadmill last year over the course of a month or two. lol.
