Question for anyone that might have a Woodway. I just picked up one used (2018 Woodway 4Front).
Everything seems to be working great, but even when the treadmill is off, the inner cooling fan seems to be running. It only actually goes off when I flip the power switch (as opposed to turning it off on the control panel). Anyone know if it is normal for it to always be running?
Plan to give Woodway a call next week, but figured I’d ask around a bit first to see if this is normal. Thanks!
Yes totally normal. Machine never fully turns off unless you flip the switch. Not a hard thing to overcome just don't put the switch next to a wall.
I've had a woodway desmo for 8 years now. Still runs like a dream. Never serviced, may consider getting a new belt at the 10 year anniversary though I don't necessarily need one.
Thanks! Glad to hear it. Yes, super excited to have finally picked one up. I’ve been “in the market” eyeing them for a few years.
Yeah, you have to flip the swith on/off. No issue with the woodway
I bought a used 4Front a few months ago with only a couple of hundred miles on it. Built in 2020. Love the body and feel. BUT, it is so inaccurate. I run about 1:20-1:30 slower per mile on it than outside on hills and weather conditions. Factory has no answer. Sales person says (after I bought it) that he gets that response a lot. It is level and calibrated. Anyone else experiencing this?

It's far harder to run on a woodway than any other surface. You waste a lot of 'energy' with the bounce of the rollers. But it also saves your legs. If I do easy runs I try to do a downhill setting sometimes (-0.5 to -1) seems to replicate my HR to outside.
However if I'm doing speed work I might use +0.5 to replicate roads. No higher. God no. I ran a 5k at +1 for 18:30ish and my HR was the same as doing a track run of 16:00.
Sometimes I will run easy runs at 1% just to get some elevation in.
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
