If done to code, yes.

Is there some sort of
transformer plug type thing that I can plug into 220 v circuit plug,
then plug 110v treadmill into that circuit.

I don't want to start running new circuits, which of course would be
the correct answer here, just looking for a safe temporary solution.

If your 220v outlet is an older style and only has two hot wires and a
ground (usually red, black, and bare/green) you can't create a 110v
circuit from it. If your outlet has 2 hot wires (usually red, black), a
neutral (white), and a ground (bare/green), you can get 110v from either
of the hot wires (black or red) to neutral (white). I'd suggest
mounting a new outlet box adjacent to the current box with a 110v duplex
outlet, wired as above. BE SURE TO LOCATE AND TURN OFF THE RIGHT CIRCUIT
BREAKER BEFORE YOU START.

He needs a GFCI on it, too. (It's in a garage.)

If you don't completely understand this advice and the risks associated
with working on house circuits, don't attempt it.
