The SledTred Review

The SledTred is an all-in-one power tower with a built-in sled and other features that give it some serious versatility.

Just when I thought I’d seen it all, the Tib Bar Guy definitely racked his brain for this one cause this machine can do A LOT!

I can do calisthenics, use it as a resistance sled, manual treadmill, hip thrust bench, and Nordic curl bench.

Let’s check it out!

Features

UDPATE

The SledTred can now be ordered with or without the pull up portion of the power tower.

This is great for people with low ceilings and also makes the unit without the pull up bar more affordable.

Power Tower

I’ve had several power towers through the years of building a garage gym.

They all had the pull up bar, dip bar with a hanging leg raise pad, and push up handles but none were as fancy as the SledTred.

It’s nicely powder coated in black and I can get a full body workout with one machine.

Let’s start at the top…

The multi-grip pull up bar has 5 options which I love so I can work my back and arms at different angles.

I can grab the wide, narrow, neutral grip, or angled.

The power tower has a stable base and with a high weight capacity of 400 lbs I can also do weighted calisthenics.

I can put on my weight vest or a dip belt without worrying about this thing tipping over.

Let me tell you a little about the dip station.

This is where the SledTred starts to get way cooler than a regular power tower.

And that’s because the dip handles are height adjustable…

The vertical rails on the SledTread have holes for attachments that can be used at multiple heights.

I think that’s an excellent idea that makes this more versatile but also gives me the option to position attachments based on my height.

And at the bottom there’s push up handles to hit my chest or I can use them as parallettes for L-sits.

So that’s the power tower portion, now I’ll talk about the sled / treadmill portion.

Sled / Treadmill

This is a manual treadmill so I don’t need electricity for it to run.

It requires my leg power to move the treadmill belt when I’m walking, sledding, or sprinting.

What’s great about a motorless treadmill is that I can put it anywhere in my garage gym without having to be near an electrical outlet.

But just because it’s motorless doesn’t mean I can’t add resistance to it…

The treadmill has 21 levels of magnetic resistance so I can challenge my legs whether I’m sledding, walking, or running.

And for those who like to track everything, there’s an LCD monitor that keeps track of time, feet, and miles.

I’ve never seen the the feet tracking feature before but I like it for shorter bursts of power at short distances.

This way if I’m doing sled pulls, sled pushes, or resisted sprints, it makes more sense to track feet than miles.

Tib Bar Guy even added an alarm system where once I hit a certain amount of time or distance, an alarm will sound.

The treadmill can be set at two different angles: flat and 7 degree incline like you see above.

The incline setting plus the magnetic resistance make my lower body workouts more challenging.

I can use this for backward walking or sled drags to strengthen my quads and rehab my knees.

This is something the Knees Over Toes Guy has made popular in his ATG programs.

Or I can flip around and use this a push sled to target more of my posterior chain muscles and get my heart rate up at the same time.

The front of the SledTred has handles and thick shoulder pads so my upper body is stabilized while my legs take a beating.

Nordic Curl Bench

There’s two angles in which I can do Nordic curls with the SledTred’s Nordic curl bench set up.

First one is a flat Nordic curl and the other is a decline Nordic curl which I don’t dare try cause it’s crazy hard.

I can always do Nordic curl regressions by tying a resistance band around the pull up bar.

Sit Up Bench

And lastly, I can use the treadmill along with a leg foam pad attachment to hit my core.

I can do sit ups, decline sit ups, and Russian twists.

Hip Thrust Machine

With the treadmill folded up, I can add several attachments to the vertical rails to keep working my lower body.

I can set the adjustable foam roller low and use it as a hip thrust bench.

And use that same roller for Bulgarian split squats…

I can also use this for couch stretches, Copenhagen planks, decline push ups, etc.

Multi-Step Up Board

The multi-step up board attachment is optional but it’s an accessory that adds more versatility to the SledTred.

Do you need it? That depends on what exercises you like to do.

I can set the multi-step board low for exercises like reverse step ups and calf raises.

Or I can attach it higher for Knees Over Toes split squats or glute bridges.

SledTred Pros & Cons

Pros

• Magnetic resistance: There’s no break pad break pads to wear out so the resistance stays consistent

• Versatility: I can work my upper and lower body with one machine

• Endless sled: No loading/unloading weights, outside weather doesn’t matter, lack of space inside my gym is not an issue

• Space saving: For everything I can do on this, it takes up less than 6 feet of floor space (most of the space taken up is vertical)

• Motorless treadmill: Doesn’t require any electricity to work since it’s a manual treadmill

• Tracking: I can track my workout stats with the LCD monitor (distance, miles, feet) and the 21 level resistance knob

• Goals: I can set goals on the display monitor and it alerts me when I reach those goals (ex: number of steps and distance)

• Stability: Doesn’t wobble and feels very secure

Cons

• Height: If you have a basement gym or low ceilings, the height may be an issue Now available without the pull up bar

• Knurling: Pull up grip knurling is mild, I’d prefer if it was a bit more aggressive

• Plastic guards: Has some cheap plastic guards that cover moving parts but they don’t affect the function of the treadmill
