TANK® M1 Push Sled

This is a butt kicking but it can get super expensive. I love using it but bought an early version of it then I needed to upgrade a bunch of parts as they made improvements. Its quiet to use and easy to maneuver compared to a traditional sled. It still needs some weight on it to hold it to the floor esp. in the front. It is a fun piece of conditioning to use and I recommend it if you have the space to use it.

This tank almost made it into our home gym. It would have been very nice to have a sled that didn't make so much noise and came with so many options, but with the boys heading to college, I didn't think I would use it enough to justify the purchase. I believe I made the right choice.

It's a fine piece, but I pretty much never use it. I should probably sell this.

Very high quality Magnetic Sled. These sleds make resistance training quiet and convenient and can be very effective if you push yourself hard. Build quality is above average and depending on when bought there have been various updates and upgrades for the Tank M1. A big part of performance for these sleds is proper weight distribution to keep the wheels planted on the pushing surface and speed at which you push the sled which dictates the ramping resistance level. The faster the push speed and cadence the more resistance and difficulty. Pushing and pulling are easy with multiple handle grip positions and 2 different pull points off the front. Weight plates can be added to the sled to help keep traction on the tires. Adding weight makes no difference for resistance difficulty. The main issue people have is tire wear for the pneumatic tires and low inflation and not putting in enough effort and speed when pushing on the selected level. Level 3 at 2.5mph and above will result in excellent workouts whether pushing or pulling. Also I highly recommend the airless front tire which gives consistency and performance gains.

Buy a real dragging sled. Resistance is not great on these and just wait until you have a flat front tire and have to deal with changing it. Really awful design there for maintenance. Sold it immediately after having to deal with that.

This has held up to regular use really well. It's kind of a pain in the but to turn around. Or if you get going not straight, to correct course. I know they make a newer model that addressed those concerns.
