It is more than reasonable to ask her to place a heavy duty mat under her treadmill - I say this as both an upstairs and downstairs neighbour since I'm living like the filling in a sandwich. I also exercise in my apartment, although not on a treadmill as that seems a bit over the top imposing for the neighbours.

I exercise on a rug that I then cover with heavy duty exercise mats. Finally, I try to only do it when my neighbour is out, or as early as possible in the evening. I also try to mix in some lower impact activities, like yoga, to give him a bit of a break. There really is no reason she can't work with you on the noise and still exercise in her apartment.
