Treadwall®FT Owner’s Manual—2019
Rev Aug 2019
Below you will find different training tips we have learned over the years
that can ease your clients into Vertical Movement.
Initial Exposure
When your clients and members are trying out the Treadwall
for the first time:
1. Ensure speed is on zero before having them climb.
2. Ask if they would like you to control speed at first.
3. Encourage them to try adjusting the speed themselves: Set the speed to 0
and tell them to climb about half way up. Let them know that at settings 7
to 10 the speed is quite fast, so move the speed lever slowly. All they have
to do is hang on, reach for the speed lever, and pull it up a small amount.
4. Have them take it slow at first and focus on smooth movement.
5. Emphasize the need to move your feet above a certain panel to keep the
wall moving. Auto-stop will automatically stop the rotation as they approach
the bottom.
6. Tell them they can keep going even after the auto-stop has engaged, just
continue climbing and the wall will resume rotation.
Initial Workout:
Most people are unfamiliar with climbing holds, but the Treadwall Base set is
very user-friendly. If ordered, the Ladder Line is an excellent way to intro-
duce them to the basic balance and movements. Try having them start on
the Ladder Line first for a couple of minutes to get a feeling for it.
As they continue to climb, then suggest using a few of the climbing holds as
well as the Ladder rungs.
