A laminated treadmill deck or deck insert includes a wear surface formed of a phenolic impregnated paper laminated to an isocyanate resin bonded MDF core. A low moisture content isocyanate resin bonded wood fiber MDF core enables dimensional stability and high internal bonding strength even at reduced insert thicknesses. The deck or deck insert is disposed on a support deck adjacent the upper run of an endless treadmill belt. The deck or deck insert is provided with wear surfaces on each broad side and is easily removable and reversible to expose the second wear surface. The deck or deck insert is coated with as wax having fluoropolymer powder embedded in the exposed surface of the wax to provide a low-friction wear surface.
