Anti-gravity technology encloses the treadmill and a person’s lower body in an airtight chamber, giving it a “bounce house” look. Users wear a pair of neoprene shorts with an attached skirt that zips into the casing. The machine inflates an airtight bubble around the lower body and measures the user’s weight.
