Tru Grit Fitness - Grit Runner Curved Manual Treadmill

Tru Grit Fitness - Grit Runner. Market-Leading Manual Treadmill

The Tru Grit - Grit Runner is built to answer one question: what makes the best manual treadmill? The answer lies in its combination of durability, simplicity, and performance. Designed with a curved running platform and six levels of adjustable resistance, the Grit Runner lets you move seamlessly from light running to intense sled push training—all without a motor.

Unlike electric treadmills, this self-powered runner challenges your stride while helping you fine-tune running mechanics. The cordless LCD display tracks time, distance, calories, speed, tempo, and watts, keeping your progress visible without unnecessary complexity. With a commercial-grade steel and aluminum frame, the Grit Runner is built to withstand heavy training in both home gyms and commercial settings.

Whether you’re sprinting intervals, walking uphill, or simulating a sled push, this treadmill replicates the outdoor running experience while minimizing joint impact—making it one of the most versatile training tools you can own.
