The Velociraptor strips the indoor running experience down to its bare essentials. Here’s how.

The curvature of the platform rises by 3 inches at the front and back, sloping gently over a distance of 63 inches so that your feet stay in contact with the belt longer than they would on the flat surface of a track or traditional treadmill. Each of the rubber-coated stainless-steel tracks is 2 inches wide by 19 inches long, made of high-tensile-strength steel, and tightly spaced to give you the greatest possible lateral leeway.

On either side of the track, you have 42 inches of textured footrests so that you can quickly dismount the belt at any time, and don't worry about moving it around; a handle at the back end and wheels allow you to adjust its position in your home gym or commercial facility with minimal effort.

The minimalist console runs on double-A batteries and features a "mode" button for cycling through your metrics, a "set" button for customizing your workout data, and a "reset" button to clear your stats. That's it. No bells. No whistles. No screens or motors. Just you and the Velociraptor half-track that comes to life as soon as you start running.

The Velociraptor features 8 degrees of resistance, making it perfect for high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and runners who obsess over form; the curvature of the track forces you to run with proper hip-foot alignment, shortens your stride and increases the frequency of your cadence, and—just like with track and field running—the power of forward propulsion comes from the muscles of your posterior chain: your calves, glutes, and hamstrings and not the automatic motion of a belt.
