Renegade Health and Fitness builds commercial-grade cardio and functional training equipment: curved treadmills, indoor rowers, air bikes, climbers, indoor cycles, and the Raptor functional trainer. Most of its cardio line runs without a motor, which keeps maintenance low and placement flexible for home gyms, studios, and commercial floors.
Renegade earns its place on a serious buyer's shortlist through engineering pedigree, not marketing spend. The company has spent over 25 years in the fitness industry, and its leadership came up through the machines most gym owners already know. Company president John Post previously served as president and CEO of LeMond Fitness and as vice president at StairMaster.
That background shows up in the product decisions. Renegade builds toward three priorities—durability, ease of use, and low maintenance—instead of chasing screen size and app subscriptions.
Is Renegade Health and Fitness a good brand? It suits buyers who want commercial-grade cardio without commercial-grade complexity. The machines use sealed bearings, self-powered resistance, and simple consoles, so there is less to service and less to replace over a decade of use.
Renegade covers cardio thoroughly and adds one strength piece. The catalog splits into four groups, and each one solves a different training problem.
Both product families deliver high-intensity work with low joint impact. The Ultra Runner gives you a 63" x 17" curved running surface with 4 levels of magnetic resistance and anti-slip TPE slats riding on 608ZZ sealed cartridge bearings. A rear handle lets one person reposition it.
The Ultra Runner Plus steps up to a 63" x 19" curved surface, aluminum-core anti-slip rubber slats, and 6 magnetic resistance levels—enough range to move from free running to sled-push effort on the same deck.
These pieces cover full-body and upper-body conditioning. Renegade offers the Renegade Rower and the Air Rower Mag, which pairs air resistance with magnetic control.
On the bike side, the Air Bike Unlimited uses infinite air resistance with multi-grip handlebars so users can train seated or standing. Large footpegs let you isolate upper body work entirely. The indoor cycle line runs from the Ultra Cycle and Compass through the CMXPro and CMXPro Power, and Renegade also produces the CMXRT magnetic recumbent bike and the CMXERG+ portable ergometer.
The Raptor is the Renegade strength entry, available freestanding or wall mounted. The wall-mounted unit gives small rooms cable resistance without surrendering floor area — the same logic behind most wall-mounted rig setups, applied to cable training.
What does Renegade Health and Fitness make? Curved treadmills, climbers, indoor rowers, air bikes, indoor cycles, a recumbent bike, a portable ergometer, and the Raptor functional trainer.

A machine with no motor has no motor to fail. That single fact drives most of the ownership advantage in Renegade curved treadmills, air bikes, and air rowers.
Motorized treadmills concentrate their failure risk in three parts: the motor, the controller board, and the drive belt. Replacing any of them on an out-of-warranty machine often costs a meaningful share of what the treadmill sold for. Self-powered equipment removes that entire category of repair.
Placement gets easier too. Without a power requirement, a curved treadmill sits wherever the floor plan works — a garage corner, a basement wall, the middle of a studio — with no outlet, no cord run, and no surge protection to plan around.
The trade-off is honest and worth stating. Self-powered decks demand more effort per mile because you drive the belt yourself, and they cost more up front than an entry-level motorized treadmill. Buyers who want a programmed incline or a large streaming console should look at motorized options in our home gym treadmills selection instead.
Do curved treadmills need electricity? No. The runner powers the belt, so the machine works without being plugged in. Consoles typically run on batteries to display metrics.
Match the brand to how the equipment will actually get used.
Home gym owners who train hard and want one cardio piece that survives a decade. The sealed-bearing build and motorless design mean fewer service calls in a room with no maintenance staff.
Commercial facilities and studios running group conditioning. Renegade builds to commercial grade, and the resistance range on the Ultra Runner Plus covers everything from warm-up walking to sled-effort intervals across many different members.
Corporate wellness programs placing equipment where quiet operation matters. Sealed cartridge bearings and magnetic resistance keep noise down in shared office environments.
Low-impact and recovery-focused users. Climbers and rowers load the body without the repeated ground impact of running, which suits older users and anyone managing joint sensitivity. Talk to a qualified professional before starting any program tied to an injury or medical condition.
You get authorized-dealer sourcing and pricing that currently sits below Renegade own published list prices. The Ultra Runner and Ultra Runner Plus both list lower here than on the manufacturer's direct storefront, and the same holds for the Air Rower Mag and the Raptor FT wall-mounted unit.
Hamilton Home Fitness operates from Tennessee and ships to all 50 states. Ordering runs through the same checkout as the rest of the catalog, so you can combine a Renegade cardio piece with flooring, racks, or free weights in one purchase.
Three hesitations come up most often on this brand, and each has a clear answer. On price, the machines cost more than budget cardio because the frames, slats, and bearings are specified for commercial duty—you are buying years, not months. In space, curved treadmills need a dedicated footprint, so measure your room against the deck dimensions and clearance before ordering. On assembly, most cardio pieces arrive substantially assembled, though large freight items need a second person for placement.

How much space does a Renegade curved treadmill need?
The running surface measures 63" x 17" on the Ultra Runner and 63" x 19" on the Ultra Runner Plus. The total machine footprint runs larger than the deck, so check the individual product listing for full dimensions and allow clearance behind and beside the unit.
Is a curved treadmill harder than a motorized one?
Yes, noticeably. You generate the belt speed yourself instead of matching a motor, which raises the effort required at any given pace. Most runners find that the same workout feels harder and takes less time on a curved deck.
Which Renegade treadmill should I choose?
Choose the Ultra Runner for home and light commercial use, where 4 resistance levels cover your intervals. Choose the Ultra Runner Plus when you need the wider 19" deck, 6 resistance levels, and the range to push sled-style efforts on the same machine.
Can Renegade equipment handle commercial gym use?
Renegade specifies its products as commercial-grade functional fitness equipment, and the brand is widely placed in gyms and studios. The sealed cartridge bearings and heavy-duty slat construction are built for repeated daily sessions rather than occasional home use.
What does the Renegade Raptor functional trainer do?
The Raptor provides adjustable cable resistance for pressing, pulling, rotational, and single-arm training. The wall-mounted version delivers that same cable functionality without consuming usable floor space, which suits garage gyms and compact studio layouts.
Does Hamilton Home Fitness ship Renegade equipment nationwide?
Yes. We serve all 50 states from our Tennessee base. Large cardio machines ship as freight, so confirm delivery access and any liftgate or inside-placement needs at checkout.
Start with the machine that removes your biggest training obstacle, then build around it. If joint impact is the barrier, begin with the Climber Cross Crawl or the Air Rower Mag. If you want conditioning that scales from walking to sled work, the Ultra Runner Plus handles both ends.
