Partners

Alter-G partners with Woodway, a standards-setting treadmill manufacturer. The G-Trainer is customized around Woodway's high-performance, durable Desmo model. Woodway is the manufacturer of the world's finest treadmill, specializing in high end, custom designed and hand built treadmills for fitness training, rehabilitation, and human performance. As a company they have been at the forefront of testing and training technology for over 30 years.

Woodway treadmills are so different, that it is a Treadmill in name only. It starts with the low friction from the ball-bearing transportation system, which alleviates the forces to all mechanical and electrical parts, resulting in less wear, less maintenance, fewer repairs, lower electric bills, and a longer treadmill life. Woodway then created an entirely new running surface with 3/8" think vulcanized rubber T-slats that absorb shock at the point of impact without changing the biomechanics of running. These slats create the ideal "softness" to eliminate the harmful shock to connective tissue, joints and muscles. Woodway continues to be a leader in the Performance Enhancement training market and at the forefront of testing and training technology.

Alberto Salazar, famed marathon runner and coach for Nike distance runners with Nike’s Oregon Project, was instrumental in providing feedback for Alter-G engineers developing the G-Trainer. Alter-G continues to work with Alberto and his runners to understand the benefits of using the G-Trainer and improving the G-Trainer technology.
