LEVER UP // Rental

I have used the Lever for four years, whenever I need less pounding than running on the roads. It is fantastic for coming back from injuries because I am getting the aerobic benefits and joy of running without the wear and tear on my legs/knees. I’m 61 and The Lever is adding years to my running career. Also, the customer service is excellent!

I was diagnosed with Grade III chondromalacia patella aka bad case of runners knee after qualifying for my 4th Boston Marathon so I decided to give the Lever Up system a try and have been logging all my miles on it and plan on continuing doing so in preparation for the race. I have no pain nor discomfort whatsoever and have managed a 20 mile run on it pain free. I plan on continuing my training until Boston on it and probably post race I will depend on it heavily post treatment. Super happy with the Lever up!

I would no longer be competing in triathlons if it weren’t for the Lever. My bike and my Lever are the two most essential pieces of triathlon equipment I own. If you are at all injury-prone — and who isn’t? — you should definitely incorporate a Lever in your run training, to build mileage, to prevent injury, or both.

I have been dealing with a muscular weakness injury that put me out of long distance running for 3 weeks. I decided to make the investment in Lever to help me come back from injury and hopefully prevent future overuse injuries. I was shocked to see that just a few hours after I had placed my order Lever sent me a shipping confirmation. The Lever was at my doorstep in just 4 days with ship time even falling over a weekend. Using the system allows me to customize how much “help” I’m getting throughout a run and really focus my attention on my gait to ensure my return to run is healthy. I do find the shorts to be thick and not as breathable as they could be. Luckily I have a window right next to my treadmill. I also notice the pulley system wheels on the side of the shorts get twisted as I’m running causing the bungee to ride against the shorts loop. Hopefully both shorts loop and bungee are durable enough to handle this. This system has really helped me pivot my goals and feel confident about running again. I can’t wait for my next run!

I got the Lever after my second broken fibula in 4 months. It really seems to be helping me have good form as I try to build back. I will continue to use it due to my low bone density to hopefully prevent further broken bones.
