From the reviews

…We tried out the walking track which I will provide a description for. It takes 17 laps to walk a mile. This tract is approximately the perimeter of the below basketball court. The corners have what I consider to be a rather small radius. The track's two lanes are rather narrow.

★★★★★ — Lem, Mar 2024

…I exercise 45 minutes then will get on the indoor track and walk 2 or 3 miles. Never have to wait for anything to finish my plans.
