We have an assault runner and I have used other curved treadmills. Build quality is great compared to the assault runner and I'd say its better than the truform I tried several years ago. The instructions were awful to work with, it didn't tell you what screws to use or how many screws. Ikea instructions are better. The screen is big and beautiful, its higher and angled great so you don't have to look down like on the assault runner. The screen functionality is a little hard to work with. You need to press + & - sign to enter into a program mode. I set distance goals and the screen doesn't let you do quarter miles or half miles. Specifically, I have no idea if I have .8 miles or .15 miles left on a run. There is an admin mode that lets you set the runner weight and other parameters to accurately set the calories. The setting isn't worth much in my opinion, calorie burn isn't a helpful metric. Heart rate monitor works with my H10, it easily connects. As soon as I start running it quickly disconnects, and I'm not able to track heart rate during a distance goal run. Running on the treadmill is a lot more difficult than running on the assault runner, the trueform or the technogym curved treadmill. It makes you focus on your form. I feel like it sweat a lot more. The treadmill feels a lot stiffer than the assault runner too. There is a resistance function in the admin menu, and it says resistance is off, but it doesn't feel that way. I'm not able to change resistance even though the setting is there. The resistance isn't a bad thing, definitely like that I'm getting more of a workout.

Tread is a lot smoother than our truform and assault treads. We had two of each and now own 4 of these woodways. That is the positive. The negative is the monitor. It is great that it is self powered, but the downfall here is the the distance and calorie portion. The distance shows meters for the first 100m, then changes to 0.1 and 0.2, etc. there is no in between. The calibration seems very off, as well. A quarter mile on these takes 4 minutes where on our truform treads it takes 2 minutes (which is a normal 8 minute pace). Lastly, we have four of these treads and we had four people run for 5 minutes for calorie accumulation and they all hit 44 calories. No matter the pace, calorie numbers remains the same. So, if you’re looking to run on these for wods…wait until they get a new monitor!
