Product Description

The Path provides the quality, reliability and cost savings you expect from a WOODWAY in a shorter, more compact package. The Path is ideal for those clubs that desire to separate themselves from competitors with a WOODWAY, but are looking for something a little smaller.

The WOODWAY Difference

There is WOODWAY and then there are conventional treadmills

WOODWAY treadmills feature an original (internationally-patented) design that was developed in response to conventional treadmill designs. WOODWAY designers set out to develop a safe and comfortable running surface for humans that also reduced the friction and wear associated with the conventional conveyor belt style. To do this they started with a ball-bearing transportation system and then created an entirely new slat style running surface.

This combined system provides a running surface of 38-43 type A shore hardness, which was found by the Deutsche Sporthochschule in Cologne, Germany to be the ideal "softness" to eliminate the harmful shock to connective tissue, while not changing proper biomechanics. Additionally, the low friction ball bearing transportation system alleviates the forces to all mechanical and electrical parts, resulting in less wear, less maintenance, fewer repairs, lower electric bills and an overall longer treadmill life.

SlatFlex Running Surface

Comprised of numerous individual shock-absorbing slats, scientifically proven to reduce harmful shock to joints, muscles and connective tissue. Absorbs over 200,000 miles of usage without a single belt change.

Low Friction Ball Bearing Transportation System

Two bearing rails allow the running surface to glide, eliminate the conventional need to flip a deck and use significantly less electricity in the process.

Toothed Drive Wheels and Zero Stretch Belt

The combination produces a perfectly even and accurate speed without slippage or bungee effect.

Treadmill Comparision

	WOODWAY	Conventional Treadmills
Running/Walking Comfort	3/8 - inch vulcanized rubber surface and patented SlatFlex™ system absorbs force of footstrike at point of impact. Safer on bones, joints, muscles and tendons.	PVC, cotton and nylon belt stretched between two rollers, over a wooden deck creates harmful footstrike shock upon impact.
Maintenance	Ball bearing design means significantly less friction, wear, maintenance, costly repairs & an overall longer life. Belt never needs tracking adjustment and no deck wax is needed because there isn’t a wooden deck.	Requires weekly maintenance. Decks must be waxed regularly. Belts must be tightened regularly and replaced frequently. Decks must be flipped regularly and replaced.
Speed Range	Zero start with speed increments of 0.1 mph to top speed of 25 mph, even with the heaviest users. (up to approx. 550 lbs.)	0.5 mph start speed, top speed 12-15 mph. User capacity 200 to 350 lbs.
Economy	Super-efficient design decreases friction and saves electricity ($300- $800 less per year, per treadmill in a high use environment). Plus, durability reduces overall costs and even costlier down time.	Replacement of belts and decks required every 20,000 miles on average. In high-use environments it equates to every 6-12 months.
Life Expectancy	The belt should last 150-200,000 miles. WOODWAY’s can also be factory renewed, thereby doubling their lifespan.	Assuming maintenance described above is done, a conventional treadmill should last approximately 40-60,000 miles.
Accuracy of Measurements	Drive system eliminates belt slippage and projects true speed accurate within 1/10 mph. Does not vary with weight of the user. Absence of hood allows for better gait analysis and easier, less-inhibited stride.	Display projected is motor speed, which varies with the weight of the user, belt wear and slippage. Front hoods and belt slippage hinder gait analysis.

WOODWAY is the manufacturer of the worlds finest treadmill, specializing in high end, custom designed and hand built treadmills for fitness training, rehabilitation, and human performance. As a company we have been at the forefront of testing and training technology for over 30 years. WOODWAY treadmills utilize a unique design that incorporates shock-absorbing rubberized slats and smooth rolling ball bearings. The result is a nearly frictionless environment that provides the highest quality running surface on the market. A one-of-a-kind feature of a WOODWAY is our Dynamic Mode, which allows the running surface to be manually powered. This environment gives a unique self generated workout. Walking movements are done forward, backward, side-to-side along with step-overs. The non motorized ability allows for strict self-user power taking the quadriceps, hamstrings gluts, and calves to a new comfortable threshold.
