I’ve unfortunately had a lot of issues. If I had to do over, I absolutely wouldn’t buy one. The tech they sent out made the issue worse and I ended up putting the machine back together. The machine squeaks and clicks despite proper lubrication and adjustment. Maybe I got a lemon but I expected way more from a $3000 machine.
@@jordanschaefferfitness Would this be good for leisurely walking while watching TV? Or would this manual treadmill require too much attention that we won’t be able to watch tv while walking. Our motorized treadmill jammed and threw my husband off the treadmill so now I’m thinking a manual treadmill might be better. Thanks
@@Wasabi9111 you could definitely watch tv on this while walking. The first time you get on it may take a second to get a hang of it but once you do it’s great for walking or running!
I have had it for over 2 years now and it’s held up great! I have done sprints and distance work on it. I prefer to do long runs outside but it still works to do distance if you don’t mind being on a treadmill
They have similar manual treadmill like this, that cost much more with magnetic resistance. This should to an extent mimic an incline since this is oval shaped.
Long distance works great! It’s very easy to get into a good pace and the monitor is great and will give you lots of data and feedback. How long are you typically running?
Works excellent. Meantime usually I watch some travel video. Much less boring than running outdoors in my surroundings. Not speaking, that if I had to interrupt a long-long jogging or walking session I am at home (using the washroom, drinking a juice).
They should apply a downloadable app to put on our tablets.. Shocks isn't attached till the treadmill. Not sure if you can still talk me read the display when your springing... Guyss Bluetooth
Your heel striking. This curved mill is supposed to promote mid to forefoot striking, which all good runners ( including myself) do. I've had my Trotter 685 for 20 years ----NO MAINTENANCE!!!---- It goes 20% up ,5% down,& 4:48 per mile! I've also run barefoot for 4 years---w zero injuries & this has only completely bulletproof my feet & legs & I saved enough $$ NOT buying all the " gizmo" flavor of the months shoes to fund an incredible investment portfolio. So.........IDK ..... yr Assult,while in principle appears valid, in actuality I can sprint / do intervals outside ( no 4K investment) & my 20% incline will make you up to an Olympic level runner( all top runners use motorized mills) ( Woodway!) Nice review BTW.
Cool treadmill but downsides are no incline AND no adjustable resistance. It would be perfect with both of these and even better if it had lever arms you could do farmers walks with. Running then walking with 75-125lbs in each hand would be awesome!

The curve and inability to run on an incline is good cause the strain intop of the feet is eliminated or atleast mitigated.
Put 2x4 (wood) under front legs to elevate.
That’s a good idea 👍
Just got one! Looking forward to my first workout tomorrow! Great video!
You’ll love it you’ll have to let me know how you like it! 💪

Thanks for the dedicated shoe tip. Never really thought of it but makes perfect sense.
You bet! Do you have an assault runner or looking at getting one?
@@jordanschaefferfitness looking to get one. Peloton doesn’t connect any longer so figured maybe I’ll get back into running for my cardio
@@KidRichmond that’s great!
How many mile have you put on this? Any long runs or just sprinting?
I have had it for over 2 years now and it’s held up great! I have done sprints and distance work on it. I prefer to do long runs outside but it still works to do distance if you don’t mind being on a treadmill
Sprinting? How fast gave you had it?
They have similar manual treadmill like this, that cost much more with magnetic resistance. This should to an extent mimic an incline since this is oval shaped.
Most of the running is done on the flat portion of the belt just by design the belt starts higher to keep the motion going.
What’s the difference between the PRO and the Elite?
1,000 dollars + Cup Holders
There’s differences in the specs and warranty I’m still researching if I want one..
The upgrade to Elite makes no sense whatsoever. It is one of the most mis-priced upgrades I can think of.
what about long distance running with that treadmill?
Long distance works great! It’s very easy to get into a good pace and the monitor is great and will give you lots of data and feedback.
How long are you typically running?
Works excellent. Meantime usually I watch some travel video. Much less boring than running outdoors in my surroundings. Not speaking, that if I had to interrupt a long-long jogging or walking session I am at home (using the washroom, drinking a juice).
Is the resistance adjustable?
Unfortunately there is no added resistance on this treadmill and no way to do an incline walk.
They should apply a downloadable app to put on our tablets.. Shocks isn't attached till the treadmill. Not sure if you can still talk me read the display when your springing... Guyss Bluetooth
Can you tell me if there is a way to sync the run data to Apple Health? Does the app allow this?
It is not possible. BT connection allows only (some) HR connection.

Would the Assault Runner make too much noise to have it in an apartment?
The Assault Runner is actually pretty quiet. Do you have neighbors below you?
@@jordanschaefferfitnessYes. Do you think it's good if I have people below me?
@@aegisfate117 it’s not super noisy so it wouldn’t be too bad. A rower might be quieter but this would still be a good option!
Why wouldn`t it last for Thirty years ???
