maybe put him in another room while you work out, or have a roomate take him on a walk at least while you do the treadmill. one thing we did with the vacume (cause Yuri hated the noise) was turn it on in another room while we are palying in a different one so he could just barely hear it and then evey few days we would move a room close or walk by the room it was on in, eventually he could be in the same room with it and it didnt even phase him

Start putting him on it.
He'll freak out at first but after a while he'll see its no threat AND it will be good for him to use it too.

(Omi uses our treadmill waaaaaay more than I do)

I put small treats on it while it was off - then I would get her to stand on it and give her treats
then I started turning it on and giving her treats - then I put her on it while it was on and gave her treats (at first she wouldnt take them - but I kept it on real slow and she eventually ate the treats)

Maybe is he telling you that you are walking/running without him
