Like many others, I've been wanting a Woodway treadmill since running on one. I was hooked in 2019 when I ran on practically a brand new 4front at the Wynn in Vegas. I randomly would search for used ones online and had a few conversations with Woodway about new as well. I never could find what I was looking for with a price I was willing to pay. So I actually ordered a Peloton Tread+ about a month ago right before they were recalled (it would have been delivered this coming Friday). After my Peloton order was cancelled, the search continued. Last Friday, I found a Woodway 90 min from my house on Facebook with what looked like to be an older unit with a newish 4front belt listed for $2500. Contacted the seller who knew nothing about the treadmill and simply was given the treadmill by a client as he was a mover. I had him take a picture of the back of the display and found that it was a Desmo-S model. I tried to get a little a history on the unit by calling Woodway but I couldn't get in touch with them on Friday afternoon. I never got the full story from the seller but my guess is that the original owner was moving and didn't want to pay to move it with them and/or didn't want/need it anymore. My dad, wife, and I drove up Saturday, rented a uhaul, showed up at the guys house, inspected it (it's a brand new belt with no signs of wear), ran on it for a few min and took it through it's paces. It felt basically brand new. I should note that this thing was tucked away in the furthest room in the house from the entryway and had multiple 90 degree turns with very narrow hallways. As I was walking back to the room to see the treadmill, I had no idea how he got this treadmill in this room. I offered the guy cash on hand and told him I would take it off his hands today. He came back with a price and I accepted. With the 4 of us, we managed to get the treadmill out of the house and onto the uhaul in less than 15 minutes with some muscle and a furniture dolly. Most importantly, no one got hurt and we didn't drop or damage the treadmill. We eventually got it to my house and the 3 of us were able to get it into the pain cave without a significant issue... though we did break a dolly going from the step in the garage into the house.
Ran yesterday and this morning on this thing and holy crap is this thing silent!! Honestly, the loudest thing on the treadmill is the beep from the buttons. My wife can be watching TV 20 ft away and she doesn't have to turn the TV volume up. And she can't hear it from our bedroom (a must for 5 am runs).
The unit looks to be mfg'd sometime in the mid 2000's (the serial number didn't give me a date) but I can see inspection/qaqc stickers from the mid 2000's and later on some of the electronics. I've got a call into Woodway to get some more details on it and schedule a technician to do a once around on it.
Anyway, if you are in the market or want a woodway, keep looking, deals can be found.
Thank you Peloton for cancelling my order or I never would have found this.
