I want to clarify because a lot of people seem to be confused about what's happening here.

"Just run" is tracking your metrics. You can STILL use the treadmill without it, you just won't be getting information on the run like your pace, calories burned, power output, etc. The treadmill isn't bricked, it's just not providing metrics. If you have a garmin watch or insert fitness tracker you can still get info from that.

I can understand why people would be annoyed by this change, and I would hope they add the functionality back in the future. But everyone saying it's "bricked" needs to take a deep breath.

I don't think you are correct. The entire point is to prevent treadmill use so children cannot run it. If it only prevented the viewing of run stats how would that keep kids from activating it?

Yeah, seems totally reasonable to not have metrics after spending $2k-$3k on hardware. /s

[tw04]

I guess it's a good thing I didn't say it was totally reasonable to remove metrics from the treadmill. Quite literally stated I understand why people are frustrated and I hope they add them back. Didn't even need a /s because I was trying to actually contribute something useful to the comments section.

In other words, bricked by the vendor themselves.

Bricked implies its as useful as a brick, but it still functions as a treadmill
