Running through pain isn’t the answer — but stopping completely isn’t always necessary either.

The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill allows runners to continue training while reducing the stress placed on their muscles, joints, and injured tissues. By offloading bodyweight in precise increments, the AlterG lets you run with significantly less impact while maintaining your normal running mechanics.

This makes the AlterG treadmill an excellent option for runners recovering from injury, returning to running after time off, managing flare-ups, or trying to maintain fitness while reducing training stress.
