The Y has all the Life Fitness treadmills. I don’t know of there is a way to program them to be more “realistic”.
When I train at Orange Theory, they said running at 1% incline is the closest you can simulate running on the pavement. But their treadmills are awesome.

I used the treads in goodlife at a similar setting but it isn’t a good treadmill to run. But depending on which Y you go to, you could run in the tiny track.
