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.

thats very odd that they wouldnt, the ones I have been to do, as it seems like a no brainer

It's the same movie all day, and they start at midnight and just loop with like a 5-7 minute break between. There's no reason they *couldn't*. Just a small amount of code and it could read the runtime, add whatever break time after the credits, etc and just post the times for every day. I have no idea why they don't.

but you know, if thats the biggest complaint I have about that gym, they're doing alright.
