What's the SKILLMILL and how do you use it?

  • Overview
Fitness
It's so much more than a fancy treadmill. Here's 4 unique ways to use the TECHNOGYM SKILLMILL to improve your fitness.

The TECHNOGYM SKILLMILL might seem daunting, but because of its unique design it offers advanced training capabilities that other curved treadmills don’t. Watch the film or browse the benefits below.

A unique combination of features

The SKILLMILL has three key features that create a unique experience:

  • It's non-motorised, so it gets you to do all of the work to build momentum, working you harder in the process. It also makes it really simple to use: just hop on and start moving.  
  • Its multidrive technology gear system allows you to set the level of resistance for either speed or stamina training using a push-pull lever (making it as easy as pie).
  • Its straight and curved powerhandles allow you to position yourself ideally for different power-based push exercises. 

Because of these features, you can train with the SKILLMILL to improve your stamina, strength, agility and speed. Here's how:

Power

Using the powerhandles you can replicate sledge pushes, straight-arm pushes, bent-arm pushes and high-resistance side pushes, all the while using your own velocity to power the belt. 

Agility

You can use the SKILLMILL to improve your coordination and motor skills by practicing grapevines, two-in-ones and two-in-twos using the side handles to steady yourself. Great for anybody training for agility sports like football, rugby or hockey.

Speed

Unlike a regular treadmill, the SKILLMILL allows users to accelerate quickly from a walking pace, to a jogging pace, to a full sprint without making any adjustments. So you can work on your speed dynamically. It’s a handy skill to practice if you have to switch pace quickly in sport.

Stamina

Exercising continuously for long periods of time builds stamina. So you can combine increasing walking distances with speed training on the SKILLMILL to improve your aerobic and anaerobic fitness.
