Trail-Mimicking Treadmills

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Woodway '4Front' Creates the Experience of Running Outdoors

— March 30, 2018 — Lifestyle
It could be argued that one of the downsides to treadmills is that they keep you indoors and don't allow for that organic feeling when you run, so the Woodway '4Front' treadmill has been designed to help change this.

The treadmills works by incorporating a Slat Belt running surface that will effectively mimic the feeling of running outdoors, which will come as welcome news to athletes who want to keep that same experience when working out indoors.

The Woodway '4Front' treadmill is also designed to help eliminate the stress that's placed on your joints and muscles as you run to prevent downtime after you have completed a workout. The treadmill is focused on minimal maintenance and is suitable for up to 150,000 miles of use before requiring replacement components.
