G-Trainer reviewed by Boing Boing Gadgets

Boing Boing Gadgets said in their coverage of the G-trainer:

Prices are probably somewhat extravagant, but unless you keep a rehabilitation chamber in your mad scientist fortress you'll likely only see the trainer when you send henchmen off to be restored to service.
Alter-G G-Trainer Treadmill for Weightless Running - Boing Boing Gadgets

I don't know this website very well but I know that the Technology and Gadget world are drawn to this treadmill due to its "technology dense" status. Ironically although the G-trainer is high tech its pretty low on the concept front.

Its very simple:

• run at a reduced bodyweight and run faster at your target speed for longer (use the intervals we have designed and increase the intensity and effectiveness significantly)

• run at a reduced bodyweight and run at your normal running speed for longer with less joint stress (perfect for use within a marathon training programme)

• run at reduced bodyweight and run up inclines whilst maintaining your target speed to make significant leg strength gains

I am assuming their mention of an extravagant price is based on the cost to buy the whole thing because the prices we have agreed at Balance are anything but extravagant! We decided that the cost of using a machine should not be more than the intelligent input our clients get from one of our human team so we set the prices from £17.50 per session.
