The invention is a stationary running machine for indoor use. It offers a natural running gait to the user and also significantly lower impact than when running on a normal running surface. It also has no rotating parts. It uses a spring system to offer an upward force vector to reduce the effective impact weight of the user. By lifting the body up during running, the invention makes it easier for the user to run and reduces the strike impact. The invention also acts to bring the user back to their initial position after each step so that there is no need for a moving conveyor belt, like used in a treadmill, to keep the user in a central position on the machine while the user is running on the machine. The invention may include a suitable running ramp, that can further offer cushioning and/or rebounding properties.
