Self-Powered Curved Treadmill

TrueForm Trainer Curved Treadmill

The TrueForm Trainer Curved Treadmill is a self-powered curved manual treadmill that needs no electricity: the belt moves because you move it. Responsive Belt Technology reacts to your balance, posture, hip position and foot strike, so the belt tells you when your form slips. Upgraded treads and rollers handle users up to 400 lb at top speed. It pairs over Bluetooth with Zwift, Strava and other fitness apps, and with any heart rate strap or watch. It comes in rubber or turf, and every Trainer ships with the Power Bar for sprint starts.

The machine weighs 290 lb and measures 67 x 35 x 72 in., with a slatted running surface 17 in. wide inside that footprint. TrueForm designs and engineers the Trainer in the USA and builds it at its overseas manufacturing facility. The shallow curve, the least steep on the market, encourages proper form and keeps speed control easy, and the self-powered design is virtually maintenance-free.

The Build

How it works

With no motor in the Trainer, the frame, the curve and the bearings do the work, and Bluetooth sends your numbers to your apps.

A Formed Steel Frame
The handrails are 2.36 in. formed steel tubing on 4.72 x 1.57 in. formed steel uprights, and the whole frame carries a light texture powder coat.
290 lb Unit Weight
The TrueForm Shallow Curve
The curve is 2.5 in. deep from high point to low, and with no motor in the drive, your stride sets the pace on it.
2.5 In Of Curve
A Bluetooth Code Per Machine
Each treadmill carries its own Bluetooth code, so several Trainers run in the same space without interference for team workouts, relays and group sessions. Zwift, Strava and other FTMS apps, the Bluetooth standard for fitness machines, connect directly, along with any Bluetooth heart rate strap or watch.
FTMS Compatible
Sealed Steel Ball Bearings
130 sealed steel ball bearings and injection-molded polymer pulleys carry the belt, and with nothing electrical in the drive, there is nothing there to service.

How to use it

TrueForm Trainer, the slatted turf running surface option
The Surface

Rubber As Standard Or A Turf Belt

The Trainer ships with a heavy-duty, impact-absorbing slatted running surface in rubber, and a turf belt is the alternative. The tread surface is a molded thermoplastic elastomer over a molded polymer lower, on a Kevlar-reinforced polyurethane belt. The turf model swaps that slat for a slatted turf belt built for walking, running, sprint work, movement drills and multi-directional training, in cleats, bare feet or training shoes.

  • Rubber slatted tread as standard
  • Slatted turf belt as the alternative
  • Impact-absorbing slatted design
  • Kevlar-reinforced polyurethane belt
Rubber Turf Cleats Or Bare Feet

The Display

A Battery LCD Display With Bluetooth

The Trainer carries a battery-powered LCD display with five buttons. Start/Stop begins tracking, pauses it and resets the metrics, Sound turns the beep on or off, and Sync connects a Bluetooth heart rate monitor or phone using the code unique to that treadmill. Interval mode cycles through pre-programmed intervals for a quick workout, Units switches between miles per hour and meters, and the display turns itself off automatically after 60 seconds.

  • LCD display on battery power
  • Start/Stop, Sound, Sync, Interval and Units buttons
  • Pre-programmed interval mode
  • Bluetooth heart rate and phone sync

The Power Bar

A Low Grab Point For Sprint Starts

Every Trainer includes the Power Bar, an accessory for sprint starts that provides a low grab point, useful for competitive athletes and for children. TrueForm designed the Trainer as a modular machine with compatibility for further attachments, and the Power Bar is the one in the carton today.

Reviews

Love the newly designed TrueForm Trainer

"I really appreciated their communication regarding ETAs after I placed my order. They were prompt in their responses. The treadmill came in perfect condition, on a crate, packaged very well and well protected. I love running on this treadmill and would recommend it to anyone especially serious runners who want to improve their form and who might do interval running walking etc it’s been great on my knees, feet. I really feel my calves and hamstrings working more. Great cardio device! Thank you Recovery For Athletes!"

— Andy H. (5/5)

Great treadmill - slow shipping

"Great experience with a responsive customer service team at RFA. Good price and email traffic thru the purchase. The machine ships from the manufacturer, it is not in (physical) stock at RFA. Trueform customer service was lackluster and slow. From order to delivery it was almost 2 months despite being listed as "in stock" at RFA. The warranty period begins at purchase, not delivery. Aside from the shipping delay, tbe machine is excellent and I enjoy it much more than our traditional treadmill it replaces. My kiddos, wife, and I all get to enjoy it. Read up on the differences between the manual and traditional mills, there is more effort with these."

Fantastic buying experience!!

"The great line of communication made for a great buying experience. A great price and fast delivery. I could not ask for more!!"

— Danny B. (5/5)

High quality and easy assembly

"I finally gave in and bought this treadmill and I’m so glad I did. It’s so much better than a traditional motor powered treadmill. Very smooth and awesome to quickly change speeds based on how fast you run"

— Brent H. (5/5)

Great buying experience

"I bought my Trueform trainer treadmill from Recovery for athletes and I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy treadmills for the reasonable price and customer service. I had to delay the delivery more than once and the staff was very patient and helpful. Once I was ready the treadmill was delivered to me in a week. I would certainly buy from them again."

— Zhen L. (5/5)

Really well made. Was delivered

"Really well made. Was delivered on time and performs as advertised!"

Thank You!

"I will purchase all future gym equipments form your company. Thank you for the high quality service and materials!"

— Ouahiba B. (5/5)

Great overall

"The TrueForm Trainer is by far the best treadmill I've ever run on. I'm normally an outdoor runner and have always hated treadmills because they feel so unnatural to run on but this machine has changed that. With less time available these days to dedicate to driving to my favorite running locations I've taken to running much more at home and I actually look forward to my run on this every day. That said, I do have a few complaints about the machine. The heart rate display is useless if you are in the Garmin ecosystem, it only will connect to Polar. The User Manual is equally useless, it's so vague you might as well not read it. Also, my Trainer arrived unlevel. There are leveling bolts on the back footrest that can be adjusted with a 19mm wrench but again, that wasn't even mentioned in the User Manual. And finally, I think they should have made it heavier because it has a tendency to want to slowly move across the floor over time. I'll probably end up fabricating some sort of brace to hold the wheels in place."

— Brendan D. (5/5)

Awesome treadmill

"Easy setup, rock solid treadmill. Fun to run on, though it feels a little different than a motorized treadmill. So far, I love it the simple interface, speed range, ease of not having software or Wi-Fi or extension cord issues, and the feel of it."

— Daniel M. (5/5)

Q&A

I use the TrueForm Runner at my Gym, and I LOVE it. Would the TrueForm Trainer be that much different? I'm thinking of getting one for my home but I've never been on one. Is there a big difference? Thank You, Ray Siekierski
Hi there, With the trainer you will still have the same great Trueform feel and quality. The only difference is that the Runner is more meant for commercial space and has a bit more of a curve to it.
