My Inspire does not give me the option of selecting Treadmill as an exercise.  Also when I do walk/run on the treadmill it doesn't log it as an exercise just counts the steps and active minutes.  I have manually logged it as an exercise then it replaces my active minutes with zero active minutes.

Treadmill is a hard activity for trackers to automatically pick up as a run or walk, even though they count the steps, because there is no foward motion. Try restarting your Inspire several times and see if that helps.
