Walmart reached out three months ago asking if we wanted to review their new non-motorized treadmill. I was intrigued. One, because it was Walmart. Two, because it was going to be cheap.
I've tested and reviewed pretty much every curved treadmill on the market from TrueForm to the Assault AirRunner, but the biggest hurdle for getting more of these into home gyms is the price. The Tru Grit changes that.
The question is, sure, it's cheap. But, is it good?
Today, I answer that.

Props to whoever is tasked with creating an entirely new intro for each video. They are sick af.
3:40 💩 someone needs to change their pants after this 😂
Military/govt discount gets this down to $1500 direct from Tru Grit. You can get 2 for the cost of one assault runner.
Do you just contact them directly to get mil discount?
It's right in the Tru grit website. Like for the GovX link.
This also works from Nurses...big discount of $499.
Thanks for this Coop! Been trying to find honest reviews on this. You definitely helped make my decision on a different curved treadmill. 👍
Did you end up buying a curved treadmill? I just bought the IN10CT Health Runner this week.
@@randytait1667 we did not
I feel like all non motorized treadmills are a scam. I think they should be considerably less expensive, especially compared to motorized ones.
Thank you for saying exactly what I was thinking. $2k for something to run on without a motor seems insane to me.
It's likely a supply and demand issue. They're still mostly a niche product, so they have to be overpriced due to low volume.
They'll likely come down a lot in price if they get popular enough to challenge traditional treadmills in popularity.
There's two technogym skillmill ones at my local gym, and I'm the only one I've ever seen using them.
Just run outside in circles and save yourself 2k
I Think its fashion + assembly cost issue. The non motorized threadmills takes a lot more time to assembly.... Maybe someone should sell them in Ikea style....
@Roger Vieira what are you trying to say? Break it down.
Some of those rails raight off the bat look awful, seem to be all warped.
I love running on these kinds of treadmills without shoes so thanks for the heads up 🤙
Props on the channel Coop. Can we get best cable machine review pls? Nordic Trak? Something else?? Thanks!
Do a follow up to see how it holds up please. Thank you for posting
I have one form another brand but the Airunner is exactly the same. It is perfect for me and I use it regularly 3/4 times per week. After more than one year, no issues to report. great value for money.
Coop-love your reviews but that is a classic Coop--"just" pay another thousand bucks more." The difference between $2k and $3k is a lot of for a lot of us, especially respecting cardio machines, which are kind of an add on to the iron. I have a Concept2 Model D, but have to admit I would like one of these. I have no interest in motorized treads, but this kind of thing is appealing.
I want one these as well. I love the technogym skillmill at my local gym. But even this "value priced" model, still costs more than an echo bike + a concept 2 tower.
I have this unit. It's great, no complaints other than the weak monitor.
@@MonkeyMagic4649 lol. Nice joke.
@@BeGrizzlyStrong no joke my dude.
@@MonkeyMagic4649 I misread it as "weak MOTOR." My bad. Thought it was self deprecating humor as you are the motor. Would have been a nice joke.
I picked up the Xebex Runner and I appreciate the shrouds for keeping little kiddo's curious hands away from the underside of the belt while I'm running on it.
I have this treadmill and had the same experience. It was dusty coming out of the box and had to use cleaning solution for it. The stickers on the handles suck, I just took them off. And the gaps in the treadmill are pretty large - one of my kids pinched the bottom of their foot once so definitely recommend shoes on it. Otherwise, it works, it’s a decent machine for the price. I haven’t had trouble with the adjustments messing up
How much resistance does it provide with the settings? Does it feel like a push sled or uphill run? Thanks
Whats the fastest speed it could record? Some website says it only goes up to 20km/hr
@@bulldogfit1584Sorry just seeing this questions. It’s definitely a noticeable resistance but more of an uphill walk than a sled push
@@SalibsI don’t think it has a speed limit per se but I also don’t have that problem that a treadmill is too slow for me haha.
@@robertwardlaw3739 Thats not what I meant, I mean if I was to run at 30km/hr can the machine pick that up? and show that I am running at that speed?
Just how bad must a delivery / initial presentation be to rate a 1 on the Coop scale?
Chariot driver with whips and chains beating puppies while the oily nasty frame juts out the box scraping the drive, careens through the garage door and ruins all Eleiko knurling in its wake?
Coops face when he was sprinting 😂😂 you need to add that pic into a future video 😂
I don’t know if anyone mentioned it in the comments. But TruGrit gives a 25% discount for first responders and military. That makes it a deal maker over the assault runner. That’s approximately 1,500 less than Assault.
I didn't know about the mil discount. Thanks for the heads up! That's kind of a game changer personally.
@@anthonythai2116 anytime. 25% is no joke.
Making all kinds of gains. All kinds 💪💪
We used these non powered type (curved) treadmills in the Navy (onboard ships) because the motorized units always broke, however, the fact that these cost more than the motorized treadmills is just foolish and in noway can be excused by R&D costs because there is none and much less parts involved.
Gotta love Marxism. Labor theory of value.
Do these types break as often or more often than the motorized treadmills?
@@BeGrizzlyStrong these don't break easily
@@BeGrizzlyStrong They last longer than motorized obviously, less points of failure. Though I am curious how it'd be after 10-15 years. I imagine they wouldn't hold up quite as well as my Concept 2 rower, a simple machine that'll probably last the rest of my life.
@willy415 that was my point.
Nice! But any ideas for a treadmill with a low ceiling? This is too high off the ground
Dig the new Coop Scoreboard!
Love your work cooper
Love your cork wooper
Love your coop worker
@@StarCrusher. Love your coow porker
My motor treadmill still works great. I incline walk on it alot.. i hold dumbbells while walking on it to rep farmer walks........It ran me 750.00 and it still works for me 5 days a week.
Hey guys, thanks for the review!
There are some new treadmills on the market, in price ranges of around 400-600 Euros/Dollars. For example the Evilseed or Microink. Are you going to do any reviews for those cheaper variants?
Earlier this year, I bought a motorized Nordic Track treadmill with iFit for $700 brand new. I just don't understand why a treadmill with fewer options should cost more than twice that.
Mechanically these are pretty complex. Just in terms of bearings there's a lot of money there.
@@DrewLSsix would they be more expensive than the motors and other electronics in a motorized treadmill, though?
@@dvddttmr I guess it's still a rather "new" product and riding this niche wave still allows them to up the price by a lot. Engines and the whole assembly of most cheaper end treadmills are ridiculously cheap, so yes, they will always be a LOT cheaper... But at the same time, if the ungodly price that the most of these can be defended are questionable. Taking away the cost of the parts, the experience of running on one curved treadmill vs a cheaper straight one is worth a lot... But I am still sitting on the fence to see when the prices comes down to more humane levels
Once again the thread in Coops videos remind me why they need to teach economics for at least two years in school.
From an engineering/physics standpoint. A non motorized treadmill that is smooth/effective is largely more complex of a machine than common motorized treadmills.
Will you buy the new rogue USA plates?? Can’t wait for review
Hey Coop, what do you think the minimum ceiling height would be?
What is better for cardio, regular tread or non mechanical runners?
great video
Hi Coop, is there any way you can please create a video on curved treadmill with the resistance training?? We've been looking at different curved ones (my husband really trusts your opinion) so would love to get your input and see if it's even worth it, vs the assault pro without the resistance?? Thanks!
I think I like the resistance, it remind me of sled pushes.
I'm curious to see a review of the SB Fitness CT400 and see if it is better than this but still cheaper than other curved treadmills
Have you done a video on the xebex?
Test the StairMaster hit Mill
I found one from Air Go for $1899. Not sure which one to buy for budget friendly needs.
How much space does it take up. Not just footprint, but from front of “cage” to back of treadmill? What is the smallest knockout I can place it in between two wall (front to back)?
Got this for black friday $1999 minus 25% + free shipping.
I had to bore out 3 holes for the uprights to make the screws fit in the holes.
The belt makes a sound at a certain point in rotation.
When using the braking system, there is a loud metal on metal grinding sound on any setting past 2.
The whole thing def feels like a cheap chinese knock off of assault etc.
Update after inspecting it more throughly this morning (put it together last night).
1. Missing bearings under belt.
2. Shroud arrived cracked , needs replacement.
3. Big bolt was found on bottom of shipping box.
does it work okay though?
I’m a competitive runner and multi sport athlete so running is my number one activity for training but I know pretty little about treadmills but a new job has changed my schedule a lot and I need something at home inside for early running… should I be considering these curved/non motorized treadmills for my training (anywhere from 8-13 miles a day average but could be more if I’m training for a marathon) or are these better for short sprint/ interval training? Anything that you’d specifically recommend I look at? Thanks!
Weighing in my opinion here-I’m thinking a motorized treadmill might be better considering how your foot strikes the ground. Also being able to customize setting/keeping pace and adding incline or resistance if you’d like to mimic a hill/tempo run. Hope this helps!
Any info on the led display...? I get a reading, but just flashes at each setting/mode. Turns off when using, but readings never change?
What do you think about a used Technogym Skillmill? I found one for $3000, which is right at the Assault runner price. Is it worth it to get a used skillmill over the Assault runner?
This is COOOOOP.
If I wanted to "recoat" my bumper plates what is the chemical compound they use for the plates and where can I buy it from?
You should pick up an EVO ID rack from PhenoX Fitness and test that out for us.
Coop, can you do a review on a climber? (not a stair climber, but a step climber)
Have you tried the Aussie Pro Runner?
Coop, if I may ask. Does this treadmill do well for steady state cardio?
I enjoy walking long distances at a low speed say 3-4mph.
Also would the curve be an issue for the 6+foot crowd?
I am 6'2 and walk on an assault runner without any problems.
@@raymondtedstrom6739 I just found one at the local gym. My issue with it is the track is too narrow for my gate/hips. I'm constantly stepping on the plastic. Giving myself whiplash hahahaha
@@raymondtedstrom6739 You might be able to help me. I’m 6’3” with low ceiling height in my basement. What is the minimum ceiling height you think you need at 6’2” for your assault runner?
I couldn’t imagine spending money on a walking machine and it not be up to par. I literally could have just went for a walk for free
@Who Cares? I still walk when it is cold too. Just dress appropriately.
@@markhalstead2386 Try upstate New York at minus 33 windchill!
@@vontrap6942 That is much colder than it’s gets where I am in WV. I still layer up and walk or just go to an indoor mall that is on my way home.
@@markhalstead2386 Can't tell you the amount of times I've had to jump out of the way from a vehicle going to damn fast to slow down or move over while I've been running on the road. Also running into mean dogs, a couple of bears, and unable to run/walk in crappy weather. I hat the cold, and even when dressing for the cold, the cold air you breath in that hurts your chest sucks...at least I tell myself this during my questioning of why I'm about to spend so much on a treadmill lol.
It's true you can go for a walk for free. The question of course is will you walk everyday? If someone spends $4,000 on a quality curved treadmill and use it daily it's money well spent because it should last 20 plus years. People pay $4,000 for an annual golf membership.
I found one new for 1500 CAD. Besides being noisy does it perform similar to the higher end brands
How tall is the highest point and lowest point on the belt?
Curious to see if Rogue will make one of these at some point like they did with the Echo Bike: “The Echo Runner”
I've experience achilles pain when walking on my motorized treadmill at 2mph. I wonder if manual treadmill might help with this?
Any changes to your opinion of this since you reviewed it last year?
Can you do sprints on them
Got a Cyber Arc Trainer at home and they're da bomb. Pricey, but they're better and not so ugly for in-home gyms. I wouldn't want kids playing on it though they could get hurt.
So what is the difference between version one & version 2? 🙏
A “hype product” could just cop a mechanical one off Craig’s from a “new year, new me” dropout for like 80-90% off MSRP. Lol… appreciate the review man 💪🏾
Whats the fastest speed it could record? Some website says it only goes up to 20km/hr
way to go Sam
Coop....any review of their bikes? I saw hour 2022 videos but don't see this one there...so, no good?
Also if you're already running 80 miles an hour why not just train harder and hit 88 miles per hour and go back in time?
Alright Coop how can I win this?
My monitor isn't registering with the runner.. any ideas?
Stickers r nice in a way. Easy branding removal
*This is the second Treadmill friend I've owned **bestgym.equipment** t was easy to assemble and easier to fold than my last one. The controls are a lot better as well. I give it 5 stars!*
How many bearings?
I have one coming...if the delivery ever gets here. The stickers are super tacky! They also offer a substantial military discount (25%), which is what put me over the top to buy.
How did you receive the discount? I signed up but there was no further direction to getting the discount. I emailed them and am awaiting a response.
@@bulldogfit1584 add it to your cart and click login with govx
@@KH-gw2gy thank you. I’ll try it
Update on the equipment please, thanks
@@bigamemphis10 I can give you an update. I actually ordered 2 of them. The first one came damaged and was sent back. The second one came undamaged. I’m still awaiting the replacement for the first delivery. I can give you that story if you want it. Customer service has been very good when I call. Getting to the operation of it. I have used it a couple of times and I’m very happy with the operation. The monitor is very basic but for me it’s fine. It’s a large treadmill and sturdy. Unlike some reviews. I really like the magnetic resistance. On the hardest setting it feels like a light sled push or an uphill climb and it’s actually pretty rough. I like to run for a few minutes and then increase the resistance for a couple of minutes to mimic a sled push. You actually need to hold the rails to push the belt on the higher resistance. The stickers are pretty cheap but that doesn’t bother me. I didn’t think it was too loud when running on it. But I didn’t go over 8 mph. With the deals and discounts I ordered two for 2,900. Overall I really like it.
After trying an Assault Runner, this Trugrit thing is pretty obviously a cheap Chinese knock off. The belt doesn’t move like it should, the speed reading is WAY off, the screen is canted down so you can’t see it. The metal uprights SHOCK you every time you touch them which is why Assault Runner covers theirs in plastic. Everything is poorly done here.
I don't get why they wouldn't enable ANT+ so you can pair it just with your wacht and log your work-outs, though GPS wouldn't work but HR - Speed and distance can be measured etc. power output.
Not a fan of running the only time I run is to the fridge 🏃♂️
and the bathroom
From the cops
the shrouds are so they don't have a peloton-style recall. need to cover up the belts for safety
The assault pro is 150,000 miles warranty for the belt. This one is lifetime.
Pay $1k less than assault for lifetime warranty 🤔
I think there is also a difference when it comes to safety with a treadmill.
Lol @ “Pep Boys body kit” 😅
I swear Coop has a micro chip implanted in my head because whenever I’m on the hunt for something boom he makes a video about it days later.
I have a motorized tread that I use to do speedwork on and I get tired of the feeling of having to "keep up" with the belt and was hoping that a non motorized would be a bit more realistic when it comes to running fast. Im not concerned with "bells and whistles" I just want to jump on and run hard. It sounds like this no frills mill will do the trick. How is it for running?
Anyone have a clue on how to change the display from miles to kilometers and visa versa?
How is sprinting on this?? It looked like you could of ran straight off of it
You should review some AGAIN FASTER stuff
Make a stairmaster stepper without electricity.
I am still waiting to see something like that on the market.
I agree with this review. The uprights on this thing are canted forward way too much which takes up a lot more room and puts the tiny, non backlit monitor impossible to see (it’s also not canted up towards your eyes, unless you are 4’ tall). The uprights also shock me every single time I come off the belt, which isn’t fun. The speed is NOT accurate. Mine is probably 1mph slow. I also find it really hard to maintain any coherent speed but maybe I just need practice on this type of treadmill. Overall meh
How much resistance does it provide with the settings? Does it feel like a push sled or uphill run? Thanks
@@bulldogfit1584 it’s pretty substantial I guess. It’s just a wire that connects to a brake mechanism.
@@bulldogfit1584 Not as difficult as a sled and you cant go fast enough to "hill sprint." It feels gimmicky like it wouild easily break, I am not touching mine.
@@KH-gw2gy thank you for the info. I appreciate it.
Just put mine together tonight. The braking system is a joke if I am being honest. I put it max level 6 and yes its good for stopping if your running fast but I wanted to use it to mimic sled pushes or hill springs and its just way to easy even on setting 6.
Are curved non-motorized treadmills the best for low-impact running?
these are mostly for sprinting. If 2 grand is the cheapest, just look for 500m of flat space
It’s been 4 months since this review…8 months now? How do you like it now and has it held up? Also can you just remove and not install those weird plastic trim pieces?
I bought this treadmill after watching this video. I've had it for two days and after taking delivery, assembly and two workouts I can say that Coop is being a real hater in this video. Mine did not arrive filthy. Assembly was not difficult and it is super easy to pick up and roll around my 2 car garage. The stickers suck and the console isn't flashy but it has been great in my garage gym so far. I guess when you get free equipment for making video content, the sponsors with deepest pockets want you to shit on their competition but I'm here to tell you, the TRU GRIT Runner is a solid piece of equipment.
What it cost
Coop's Grit Runner showed up dusty because he lives in dusty ass Ohio where everything is dirty.
Is there a fly wheel with this?
The tru runner does not have one, the air assault does.
1.5 years later.. still expensive over $2k plus
Where is Titan Fitness with their version
Interim garage gym.. isn’t that the camera guys garage gym!
The reason why curved treadmills cost more is because the design of where the joints are located to absorb the impact when you jog. On a standard flat treadmill it easy to place them. But on a curved treadmill you have to put them in certain places so it can absorb it since its curved. After jogging on a curved treadmill for a month and still using a motorized treadmill once a week I can say this I have no injuries or soreness on my calves with the curved treadmill.
Why would you get a non-motarized treadmill? I have the "free mode" on my Peleton Tread+ and don't see the point!
Efficacy.
I just bought one for $1600 including shipping with an online coupon for 30% off.
What site was this?
I hate it when a new product like that arrives with scratches. Just terrible the way some companies fail to protect their product during shipping.
Another hanger for clothes after the buyer gets bored with it . Wait a couple of years and buy one for a few hundred dollars.
Coop= Michael Scott
Sam= Toby
Can you please do a review on the goliath powerbar from goliath barbell made here in the land down under, Australia I brought it last month as advised from my powerlifting coach and I would argue it's the best bang for buck bar you can buy on the market
If my maths is correct it's about $315 us and just as good as rogue ohio bar
why are these so much expensive? I mean.. they have less components and less technology than other treadmills ..but somehow they are as expensive or more. look at this unit: you are going to say there is even $1000 worth of parts in there? really? this is crazy.
It comes out of the box with true grit all over it. I would have left it dirty.
80 miles/hour??? Coop is Super Human 😁
Definitely not the cheapest out there. I just watched two videos a guy posted on the Signature Fitness SF-S2. Only $1000 shipped, also from WM. He was fairly satisfied with it, but I wouldn't go for it. This one has a better console.
Which did you end up with? Dick's got this for $2k
I am Scott.
Question... is this noisy?
