Assault Fitness AssaultRunner Pro

This is one of the best manual treadmill in the market. Also it's comercial standard machine so we can use this for home use and commercial use.

First let me say the treadmill is everything I hoped it would be. Solid, quiet, and perfect for me. The delivery was a nightmare. They sent a text 3 days early and said it was on the way and I needed to be home. Thankfully I can work from home if needed, but I question why they had me schedule the delivery if the date was not followed. When the truck arrived, my treadmill was knocked over onto a bunch of other people's boxes in the back of the truck. They had set it on end and not secured it, so it fell over. Because it is roughly 350 lbs. the only way they could pick it up was to stand on other boxes and push it up. Once inside the box had many OBVIOUS holes from getting mishandled, so they nicely pushed that side against a wall, took a picture of the only undamaged side, then left as fast as they could without having me sign anything. I took pictures of everything as they delivered just in case. Once they left, I opened and carefully inspected everything and the good news is Assault Fitness packages the treadmill to protect against shippers like this, so my treadmill was fine.

My husband and I used to go to the gym specifically for the Curve machine. We loved it so much that we wanted to purchase one for our in-home gym. But with a starting price over $5K, we just couldn’t justify the purchase. That’s when we started looking at the Assault Runner. The Assault Runner is comparable, and at a much more affordable price!!! The belt is very quiet and smooth. The screen is easy very legible and easy to use - keeps track of my run stats without any problems!When we ordered the machine, we were worried about the assembly process. But it was SO EASY!!!! The bottom portion (the belt) comes already assembled. So it’s literally like 4 separate portions that you have to put together. I’m not very handy and it took me less than an hour from start to finish. (I’m also not very strong and needed my husband to tighten some of the bolts. So it would definitely take somebody else way less time.)All in all, this was a great purchase!!!

This is a major piece of equipment, the real deal. Assembly was oddly easy. It took me2-3 times to get used to, no different than any new piece of exercise equipment. The trick is to just walk or run naturally and the machine reacts naturally. Once you use this you can't go back to a traditional treadmill. The real test however was each of my 4 Grandchildren (4, 5, 5, 6) got on and were able to use it instantly, it was amazing! A nice additional benefit...I have some severe nerve and balance issues and this type of machine is great for your balance. To the person above, they sell a water bottle holder for $39.99. I have been working out most of my life and have a huge home gym. I am a lot VERY VERY HAPPY with this machine!

TLDR; I should have read the other reviews regarding bad customer service before purchasing. After more than 2 weeks of no response from customer service I decided I will have to return the item. On top of that they signed me up for marketing emails without my consent.Since I received the treadmill, it made a weird squeaky noise every time I used it. So I googled it and found a video from Assault Fitness that some noise is expected but should go away after 20 miles of usage. I used it for more than 50 miles and I feel the noise increased. I reached out to Assault on May 3rd 2023 describing the issue, after which I received a response asking for video evidence which I provided on May 6th 2023. Since then they went radio silent. I followed up 3 times but they didn't respond to me. Finally I emailed them asking for a response otherwise I'd have no option other than to return the item. I had to wait more than 2 weeks to get an update from them which is unreasonable in this day and age. I loved curved treadmills but I will have to return this as I don't want to deal with such terrible customer service should I need more help in the future. For the amount I paid, I'd rather buy it from another company with better customer services, even if I have to pay a bit more.
