Manual
FAQ
The Cascade Ultra Runner Plus is a heavy and robust piece of equipment. While the assembly process is straightforward, it is highly recommended to have at least two people for the task due to the weight and size of the components. The owner's manual provides step-by-step instructions. Some users recommend allowing for at least an hour for assembly.
Yes, you will need a dedicated space. The standard Cascade Ultra Runner Plus has a footprint of approximately 67" L x 31" W. The Ultra Runner Plus is slightly larger at 74" L x 34" W. It's crucial to ensure you have adequate clearance around the treadmill for safe use and access. Due to its weight (standard is around 289 lbs, and the Plus is 335 lbs), it's best to assemble it in the location where it will be used.
The primary differences are the size of the running surface and the levels of magnetic resistance. The Ultra Runner Plus from cascade health and fitness features a wider (19" vs. 17") and longer running deck, making it a more comfortable option for taller users or those with a longer stride. The Plus model also offers more levels of magnetic resistance for a greater challenge.
The magnetic resistance is designed to add intensity to your workouts. Some users have noted that even at the lowest setting, there might be a slight, constant drag compared to non-resistance curved treadmills like the AssaultRunner. This is a point of consideration for users who prefer a completely free-running experience for long-distance cardio. However, many find the initial resistance minimal and appreciate the higher levels for interval training and sled pushes.
While the Cascade Ultra Runner Plus is excellent for HIIT, sprints, and shorter runs, its suitability for long-distance running can be subjective. The curved design naturally encourages a more intense workout, which may be more taxing over longer distances compared to a motorized treadmill. The slight inherent resistance on some models is also a factor to consider for endurance athletes.
Users who have specifically purchased the Ultra Runner Plus for its sled push feature have generally reported high satisfaction. The multiple levels of resistance allow for a challenging and effective sled push simulation, targeting different muscle groups and adding significant variety to workouts.
As a non-motorized treadmill, the primary noise comes from the sound of your footsteps on the belt and the movement of the slats. It is generally considered quieter than many motorized treadmills. However, the intensity of your workout will directly impact the noise level. If you live in an apartment, using a high-quality treadmill mat can help to dampen vibrations and reduce noise transmission to neighbors below.
The Cascade Ultra Runner Plus, particularly popular as a crossfit treadmill, is often compared to the AssaultRunner.. Key differences noted by users include the Cascade's magnetic resistance feature, which the AssaultRunner lacks. Some users prefer the slightly more comfortable running surface of the Cascade Ultra Runner Plus. A point of contention is the feeling of the belt; some users find the AssaultRunner to have a "freer" feel due to the complete lack of resistance.
The Cascade Ultra Runner Plus is consistently praised for its robust, tank-like build quality. It is designed for commercial use, which translates to high durability and a solid feel during intense workouts.
Being a non-motorized treadmill, the maintenance is generally less intensive than for its motorized counterparts. Regular maintenance includes wiping down the machine after each use, checking for and tightening any loose bolts, and keeping the running surface clean. The owner's manual provides specific guidance on periodic checks of the slats and bearings.
Taller users (over 6 feet) have often expressed a preference for the Cascade Ultra Runner Plus. The longer and wider running deck provides a more comfortable and less confined running experience, allowing for a natural stride without the fear of stepping off the sides.
The most frequently mentioned "complaint" or point of consideration is the slight inherent magnetic drag, even at the lowest setting. While not an issue for many, it's a key difference from some competitors. Some users have also mentioned the significant weight of the machine, making it difficult to move once assembled.
This is a high-end piece of fitness equipment. Users who prioritize a robust build, the versatility of magnetic resistance for HIIT and sled pushes, and a commercial-grade feel in their home gym often find it to be a worthwhile investment from cascade health and fitness. However, if your primary goal is long-distance running with a completely unrestricted feel, it's recommended to test it out if possible, or carefully consider the user feedback regarding the magnetic resistance.
