High Quality Product With A Great Warranty
Ah, the treadmill, that dreaded bane of the home exerciser's existence. It's a pain to set up, it's a creaky chore to use, and it's a long, tedious workout. And yet, with the need to exercise, it's necessary. While not as high tech as an elliptical trainer, a good treadmill can be used by anyone, and one of the best is Sole Fitness treadmills, particularly the F80 model.
These high quality, durable machines are built to last - with well engineered cams and rollers. A number of models come together with a wider, 22" wide belt for larger persons to use comfortably, and they've been used by hotels for years. Indeed, the Hilton and Omni chains think highly enough of the Sole brand to let customers request that they be moved into the hotel rooms themselves, rather than banishing them all down into the fitness center. That's because the Sole designs are so well made that they can be folded and trundled up and down through a hotel, and used nearly every day by guests, and not show the wear and tear.
Sole's attention to detail shows in their large rollers (which reduces wear and tear on the deck and mechanical components) and their cushion-flex deck. While every manufacturer claims that working out on their treadmill is easier on the joints than running on asphalt or concrete, Sole's actually has endorsements from a number of doctor's associations, and boasts an eye popping 365% reduction in stress delivered to ankles, knees and hips from working out on their machines. Beyond that, their proprietary four ply belts use nylon over rubber and PVC to provide a belt that will run without stretching or other stress for years, and their foot-deck has a lifetime warranty - no need to flip the deck over. If you can wear it out, they'll replace it for free.
Sole backs up their high quality construction with an industry leading 2 year warranty - if it breaks, they'll pay to have it shipped back to them, repair it, and ship it back for free. Which means that you don't get to use "The Treadmill's Broken" as an excuse to avoid exercising.
Sole's treadmills have more going for them than just good mechanical engineering and a rock solid warranty. They have an electronic display with industry leading diagnostics, giving you walking and running speeds, distance traveled, and a display for your heart rate monitor, and more. You can change all the settings for resistance and duration with a simple to use touch screen display.
