Could be a variety of things, but most probably the motor having a current surge to get it going.
Put up the detilas of motor out of instructions or model no. of the treadmill and i'll have a look.
Is the RCD the incommer or are you on RCBO's on your outgoing ways?

Thanks for the replies, i cant find a model no. nowhere all i know is it's a V-Fit make, will keep looking tho incase i see something.
Not sure if it's always done it as it was given to a friend of mine, then he gave it straight to me, just tried it and it tripped the RCD

It's tripping the upstairs and downstairs sockets, dont think it tripped the lights as when i flicked the RCD back on i had to flick one of the MCB's back on and i think it was for sockets.
