Tru Grit Fitness Runner Elite – Next-Level Manual Treadmill Performance

The Tru Grit Runner Elite is the evolution of the market-leading Grit Runner, redesigned based on feedback from athletes, coaches, and gym owners. This upgraded curved manual treadmill replicates the feel of outdoor running while providing unmatched durability and performance for home gyms, studios, and commercial facilities.

With four levels of magnetic resistance, the Runner Elite adapts to your training—whether you want a light jog, interval sprints, or the intensity of a sled push. Its proprietary dual-belt system ensures smooth, quiet operation while maximizing calorie burn—helping you torch up to 30% more calories than a motorized treadmill.

The updated curved running platform reduces joint impact while improving stride efficiency, so you can refine your running form without the risks of pavement pounding. And with Bluetooth + ANT+ connectivity, you can sync apps like Kinomap, Zwift, and Gymtrakr to log your runs and track long-term progress.

Simple, durable, and performance-driven, the Runner Elite delivers the closest experience to outdoor running—without ever stepping outside.
