And treadmills now probably consume way more power now than they could actually generate.

Most treadmills run on DC motors with magnets in them, so they could generate all the power you like if you pushed the treadmill and had the right controller.

I'm annoyed that the nice bike trainers don't generate power, or at least have the option to. My Wahoo shouldn't be drawing power from the grid, it should be supplying it!

I used to have a cheap one with no motor at all. It was slightly inclined. You just pushed backwards to get it started and it used your own momentum/gravity to turn.
