Safety & Responsibility

Train smart and stay in control

Important: You are solely responsible for the safe operation of your treadmill at all times. Automatic incline adjustments may occur during course simulation. Always remain prepared to stop your equipment immediately and follow all treadmill manufacturer safety instructions. In the event of any discrepancy, the treadmill manufacturer's safety guidance takes precedence over PowerTread functionality.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I try PowerTread before I buy?

Absolutely. PowerTread ships with free sample courses and workouts so you can experience the full app before you spend a penny. It's also the fastest way to confirm your treadmill and sensors work perfectly with your setup.

Do I have to run a course simulation every time?

Not at all. Passive mode lets you run freely while PowerTread quietly records your session and adjusts power readings for the treadmill's current incline. Just one Bluetooth connection and you're set. A second connection is only needed if another app like Zwift is controlling incline at the same time.

Is there a monthly subscription?

Nope. PowerTread Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks everything — forever. That includes all future updates and new features. No subscriptions, no recurring fees, no surprise charges. Ever.

What can I use for free?

Sample courses, sample workouts, and Passive mode are completely free with no usage limits. Take your time exploring — there's no paywall clock ticking.

What does PowerTread Pro unlock?

Pro unlocks the features that make PowerTread truly yours: import your own GPX courses, pull routes from Strava, load structured FIT workouts, and sync planned sessions from platforms like Intervals.icu. Everything you need to build a personal training library.

Can I create my own incline-based workouts?

Yes — build your workout on any platform that exports .FIT files and add incline markers directly in each step name using the format (inc:##.#). For example: Warmup (inc:0), Hill Repeat (inc:3.5), Recovery (inc:-2.0). PowerTread reads each marker and sets the treadmill incline automatically. Note: Course Simulation is paused while an incline-based workout is active. See the full setup guide.

Where can I sync my completed runs?

Finished runs can be pushed to Strava and Intervals.icu with a single tap, and saved to Apple HealthKit automatically. Want to reach even more platforms? The Apple HealthFit app makes it easy to export HealthKit data wherever you need it.
