Please note, to get the same results that from the Assault Runner that TrueForm is trying to claim (better running form), all you really need to do is raise the back end of the Assault Runner by sticking a 1x6 piece of wood under the back feet. From there you can adjust it more or less to force more effort or less, with the adjustable feet.. I am a ex-NFLer (WR), who knows how to run, own the Assault Runner, and love it. I also have two full D1 scholarship athletes (Football and Track) and we have comps seeing who can run the fastest. These TMs are awesome.
Hi @IamLaR1. Could you provide the exact dimensions for this block of wood that you used? What is the height dimension in the wood piece that would be optimal to get close to the true form model? Thank you if you can help.
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
Great question! I would say that the Assault is a little bit easier to walk on and zone out while watching TV. It's also easier to get the belt on the Assault moving so you'll be able to keep a steady pace a little bit simpler than the TrueForm
Can you please compare proform carbon T7, Horizon T101, with an older model of Nordic track, the model T7.0S. Both are semi commercial foldable tread mills, comparable in specs with 2.6, 2.5 and 2.75 CHP machines respectively. Great detailed comparison videos, across brands and within brands. We especially like the "best of" categories. We regularly check for updates. Thank you!
I think the TrueForm feels closer to running outside because the Assault's belt moves very easily and can even be hard for some people to control the speed, at least at first. Both treadmills are great for longer runs though, they're built like tanks that can handle a lot of use.
This was great, though I think the AssaultRunner Pro model might have been a closer match for comparing to the TrueForm shown here. The Elite is a step higher up in the line.
Thanks for watching! We were thinking the same thing but didn't have the AssaultRunner Pro at the time of filming. We have it in our studio now though so that might be a good comparison we can create in the future.
I would never buy a Trueform again. Terrible customer service. Console failed in the first year. Took months to get a new one sent (send an email on Monday they respond on Wednesday, reply within five minutes to that email, they respond the following Monday). Second console failed in four months. sent multiple emails not response. Tried calling, got a automated answer that just hung up on me. Finally used their "chat" function on their website. Company emailed me a couple times then stopped responding. Go with any company but Trueform. One would expect excellence due to cost but to be the case.
Bun reading about assault customer service this morning. Sounds like the same damn company selling both treadmills. I'm not buying anything from anybody who doesn't back up their product.

Thanks for that insight!! We'll try that out on our end.

Have my trueform and love it!! I’ve been using it for 5 years
con sinceridad, cual te ha parecido la mejor en todos los aspectos?
gracias y saludos

We can compare the Carbon T7 and the new Horizon T101 but unfortunately we don't have the NordicTrack T7.0s in our studio right now. Sorry about that.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru how about Nordic track 6.5 Si ? 😁 Thank you for such a quick reply, really appreciate this!
Which one is best for longer runs for experienced runners? Also, which one is closest to the feeling of running on the road?

They are so expensive! You would think it would be cheaoers versus electric motors
