Octane Fitness Zero Runner ZR8

Octane Fitness Zero Runner ZR8 - Low Impact Gait Training

The Zero Runner is a hybrid of a treadmill and cross trainer so you get the best of both worlds - a true running motion without the strain on your joints. It's a powerful tool that gives runners more control over the force of the repetitive impact that can cause injury.

Simulate a real running motion by fully extending your lower legs and kicking your heels back as you would when running outside. Whether you run outdoors or indoors, the impact on your joints will always bother you. Run smarter on the Zero Runner by supplementing the heavier outdoor runs with workouts that put less stress on your joints.

By relieving pressure on joints and muscles, the Zero Runner helps runners avoid repetitive problems and avoid new injuries so that they can enjoy their running career longer.

Smarter than a treadmill
Treadmills expose the body to considerable pressure over and over again. And the move the band “throws” the foot off the band so runners don't activate their hamstrings as much as they do when they run outside and that can affect their performance.

To perfect posture and speed, the Zero Runner is equipped with foot sensors in the pedals that allow you to monitor your running pattern. When connected to the SmartLink ™ app, you can track the technology to track your walking pattern to make sure you're as efficient on the seventh mile as you were on the first. With the Zero Runner you will be free from the heavy blows to your joints and still enjoy the natural and free feeling of real running.
The Zero Runner is also quiet and generates its own energy.

Walk stronger and improve your posture
The ZR8 model is the fast, versatile choice for the experienced runner, marathoner, or anyone who simply wants to run more efficiently, longer and faster. The device helps runners build endurance and speed while avoiding recurring problems and injuries from overtraining.

Gait tracking technology on the Zero Runner allows you to control your posture to keep it consistent and strong even when fatigue hits. Whether you are training on the Zero or on the street, maintain the correct posture and reduce the impact on your body.

Cross training
In the past, running was all runners did that eventually caused their bodies to deteriorate and they had to end their running career early. Today it is still about running, but smarter. Runners integrate cross training into their running regimes to overcome weaknesses and build muscle strength that will help them cross the finish line in a healthy way.

Zero Runner makes it easy for runners who find it difficult to integrate cross training into their regimen. With the CROSS CiRCUIT® workout, runners can alternate intervals from running on the machine with strength training and flexibility exercises on the ground. This creates a workout that is specially tailored to running, but without the injuries. This workout is combined with valuable strength workouts and stretches and stretches that optimize endurance, help maintain posture and distribute power more effectively.

Zero Runner vs. treadmill
The Zero Runner is better than a treadmill. The Zero Runner offers all the benefits of a workout on a treadmill, but also protects your joints. Build the Zero Runner into your training routine for more efficiency and strength and avoid injuries.

Smarter than a treadmill
With the Zero Runner you will be free from the heavy blows to your joints and still enjoy the natural and free feeling of real running. Treadmills do not provide an opportunity to run without impact, nor do they provide the opportunity to gain more insight into the way you run.

The Zero Runner provides information about your running pattern, so you can make sure that your posture remains consistent throughout your run. In addition, the device generates its own energy, making it much quieter than a moving treadmill.

Aluminum legs
Constructed with aircraft-grade aluminum and re-engineered lightweight pedals, the ZR8 has light legs and a fast cadence. With its smooth, natural motion, Zero Runner is running… only better… so you can focus on greater efficiency and performance.

And with the reinforced frame, the super-strong ZR8 is built for optimal stability and ready to work hard over and over again, all the way to the finish line.

More resistance
The ZR8 provides more load so you can vary the resistance level during your workouts. Reduce or increase the resistance to sprint to work on your push-off and engage your hamstrings, thighs and glutes more.

Adjust the resistance to add different pace intervals and become a stronger runner.

High-quality handles
As the workout progresses, you can use the free-motion handles to mimic the natural arm motion you would have outside. Plus, with the high-quality handles, you can do more work on your upper body and balance.

Molded handle
The molded handles put you in an ideal upright position, ready to go for a run, which is good for upper body ergonomics. Multiple handle positions for users of all shapes and sizes.

For maximum efficiency and comfort, you can place your hands at the top of the handles and run with your thumbs up.

Keep track of gait
As runners get more information and therefore more insight into their personal performance, they can address potential weaknesses and optimize their performance. Unique gait tracking technology allows you to keep track of your stride length and push-off height.

As you tire, your drop-off height will increase and your stride length will often shorten, which can compromise your overall posture and ultimate results. Tracking their gait allows runners to make adjustments where needed to maintain their strength over long distances.

Workout tracking
Track your progress and analyze your performance with SmartLink. This stores data from each run so you can see what is working and what is not, and where you might want to make changes. Track distance, speed, heart rate and more from your workout today, sessions from the last 30 days, or since you started using the SmartLink app.

And join an active social media running community with your own success stories and motivational experiences. Popular sites are linked to SmartLink for convenience.
