After extensive research and comparing several curved treadmills—including the AssaultRunner Pro—I chose the Tru Grit Runner Elite, and I'm extremely happy with my decision.
The treadmill arrived well packaged on a pallet and in perfect condition. The build quality exceeded my expectations. It feels like a true commercial-grade machine with a smooth belt, solid construction, and excellent stability. Assembly was straightforward and took less than 30 minutes once the base was in place.
The only challenge was moving the base upstairs to my home gym. It is extremely heavy, so if you're installing it on a second floor, plan ahead and have extra help. Once positioned, the rest of the assembly was simple.
I also want to recognize Tru Grit's customer support. During shipping, I became concerned because the Shop app continued to display "Waiting for details" even after receiving a shipping confirmation. After contacting their support team, they responded quickly with the freight carrier information, tracking link, and delivery details. Everything ultimately arrived exactly as promised.
My only suggestion would be to include the freight carrier name and direct tracking link in the original shipping confirmation email. That small improvement would eliminate unnecessary concern for customers purchasing a premium product.
Overall, I'm very impressed with both the product and the value. I purchased the Runner Elite during a promotion, and after comparing it with other commercial curved treadmills, I believe it offers exceptional quality for the price. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a premium curved treadmill for walking, running, interval training, or Zone 2 cardio.

Just received the runner, so haven't had a chance to test thoroughly yet!

I would like to mention a couple things. the true grit decal on the control arm is broken (out of the box) not the decal itself but the plastic piece behind it that it attaches to.

Also - directions or information for how to assemble are pretty vague. only a few steps but unclear. specifically when digging under the machine to locate the end to the monitor.

Beginning my journey to better health and fittness...

Just got it and really hadn’t had time to use it but it seems to be well made and I believe it will be just fine. Literally it was delivered two days ago

Love my new Tru Grit Runner Elite!
Absolute game changer for my home gym. The build of the unit is premium, stable and will certainly be a durable piece of equipment!

best jump rope in the game!

It was easy to assemble by myself, and so far I like it very much

First, I have to say thanks to the customer service team for helping me track and ensure local delivery stayed on schedule. Once we received the treadmill and set it up, my family has been using it daily this summer. My wife and I both walk/run on this, my teenage daughter is a soccer player and runs on it and my college aged son uses the high resistance for "sled" type training. Very versatile and everyone remarks how simple and safe it feels due to no motor. It's just you against you!

Everything as advertised

amazing treadmill!! I recently purchased the Tru Grit Elite Runner treadmill, and I have to say, it has exceeded my expectations! From the moment I set it up, I was impressed by its sturdy build and sleek design.

The running surface is spacious and comfortable, allowing for a natural stride, which is essential for both my daily runs and high-intensity interval training sessions. T

I found the assembly was quick and easy. I love that some of the components are welded together which makes it sturdier (won’t have to worry about tightening bolts over time) you assemble in 9 easy to follow steps and then i was able to use immediately. I prefer the self propelled treadmill because i am using my momentum and there is a level that allows to make it a little challenging. Both my husband and I using thing and we are on day two of use after putting together. Thanks to the Tru Grit Team, for working with our crazy travel schedule to get us this machine! I have attached a photo, but isn’t in its place yet.

The Grit Runner is fantastic. Sturdy. Not too loud for the most part. Already have put 55miles on it in a week and no aches or pains.

I’ve had my Runner Elite for about two weeks now, and I’ve been very impressed with the machine—especially its ability to apply resistance. More importantly, the customer service has been outstanding.

I was originally given a shipping estimate of about four weeks, and while the Runner Elite arrived in six, Tru Grit kept me consistently updated throughout the process. They also responded to my emails within 24 hours every time, which I really appreciated.

I did run into a minor issue with my monitor not working, but their support team was quick to help. I was able to speak with someone on the phone within two hours of sending my email, and the issue was addressed promptly.

Overall, a great product backed by excellent customer service. Recommend 10/10 over assult fitness who has recently had some major shipping and customer service issues.

I've been looking at this for a while and it came well packaged and instructions were easy to follow to set it up. Well priced, runs smooth and quiet, and the resistance is a nice feature! I've been using it almost every day since I got it.
