WOLFMATE Fitness Curved Treadmill [2023 Updated ]

Construction of the deck and belt

Foremost, the WOLFMATE Fitness Curved Treadmill is not an electronic treadmill; it requires no additional power source, wire, or converter to operate.

The user is the sole source of electricity for the belt. It also lacks an inclination system and the ability to change the deck’s position.

A heavy-duty slat belt is included with the WOLFMATE Fitness Curved Treadmill. T

he belt’s segments are metal-reinforced and have a thick rubber coating with a textured surface for better grip.

This belt has an amazing durability rating of 150,000 miles, according to Assault Fitness.

The machine’s belt is 62.2′′ (158 cm) long and 17.1′′ (43.4 cm) broad, with a running surface of 62.2′′ (158 cm).

As a result, it should be able to comfortably fit users up to 6’6″ (198 cm), providing for a full stride and leg extension.

As previously stated, they rated the treadmill for a maximum weight capacity of 350 lbs (158.7 kg), which, of course, also applies to the belt.

The deck assembly’s integrated front and back rollers each include two V-groove wheels.

For maximum stability, the belt features two internal tracks that pass through the grooves of the rollers’ wheels.

In addition, the deck features 50 sealed bearings on each side (100 + 12) that not only keep the slat belt perfectly tracked and steady but also give a very smooth motion with nearly no friction.

Unlike comparable treadmills, the deck does not feature a cushioning system.

The dip of each foot strike, however, is minor because of the curved form and somewhat elevated front part. This has a significant impact on your joints and back.

Compared to a treadmill with a typical flat running surface, it also gives a more natural and comfortable action.

Compared to a powered treadmill, the machine’s deck is also quite high off the ground.

The belt is approximately 18′′ (45.7 cm) above ground at its highest point, and around 13′′ (33 cm) above ground at its lowest point (the mid-section area).

As a result, it’s best to use this treadmill in a room with a ceiling at least 25 inches (63.5 cm) higher than your own.

Console

The WOLFMATE Fitness Curved Treadmill comes with a console that shares many of the same functions as the Assault Air Bike.

To begin, there is an LCD display with seven sub-sections. Time, calories, distance, speed, wattage, pace, and pulse are all tracked.

You can choose between metric and English units for speed and distance.

Only a wireless HR chest strap will give you a reading of your heart rate (Bluetooth or ANT). It does not include this item in the package.

Several workout programs are available on the console. On the right side of the unit, there is a quick-access key for each program category.

Three interval programs, three target programs, four heart rate programs, and one COMP program are all available.

There are two pre-set interval programs and one custom interval program in the interval program category.

They set the first two to 20/10 (20 seconds’ work, 10 seconds rest) and 10/20 (10 seconds work, 20 seconds rest) (10 sec. Work, 20 sec. rest). There are eight intervals in each of these two routines.

The Custom interval program is like the standard interval program, but it allows you to define a timer for both the work and rest periods.

The target programs allow you to set workout goals in terms of time, distance, and calories burned.

If any of these have a target set, the console will count down from that value until it hits zero. It also contains an alarm that will sound when you reach one of your objectives.

Three of the four heart rate programs are pre-set for 65 percent, 75 percent, and 85 percent of maximum BPM, while the fourth is Custom, which allows you to choose the HR percentage you want.

To use one of these apps, you’ll obviously need to wear a wireless HR chest strap (not included).

When you use one of the HR programs, the console counts your pulse and prompts you to increase your pace if you’re below the set HR percentage and lower your speed if you’re above it.

The COMP program resembles the target programs in appearance. You’ll need to establish time, distance, and calorie goals.

If you set a time aim, however, only time will count down while the other indicators will increase. The timer will count up if distance or calories are chosen as targets.

Batteries power the console. Four AA batteries are required, which are included.

It turns on when it detects belt movement or when one of the buttons is pressed. It also shuts off after around 30 minutes of inactivity on the PC.

Finally, the console’s bottom keypad produces a little shelf that can be used as a device holder.

There are no AUX or USB connectors for data transfer, though.

Installation and upkeep

The machine’s running deck is already put together. Only the two side upright bars, their bottom covers, the handlebar, and the console need to be connected.

It shouldn’t take over 30 minutes to do this task. The kit includes all the essential tools for the job, as well as detailed step-by-step instructions in the handbook.

To avoid any textile fibers or debris from damaging the inner wheels, it is advised that the machine, particularly the belt, be kept clean.

Inner bearings are pre-lubricated at the factory and should not require extra lubrication for a long time.

However, lubrication with silicone oil may be required if the belt makes noises.
