Smooth 6.45M Treadmill
Review

Smooth 6.45M Treadmill - is a mid-priced folding treadmill with an over engineered frame making it extremely robust and able to withstand the most rigorous workouts - this is a very stable treadmill.

The large running surface is very comfortable to run on due to the patented Swing Arm™ Shock Absorption, which results in less stress on ankles, knees and hips.

At the heart of the Smooth 6.45M lies a "sleeping giant" - a very powerful 3.0 HP motor which has been designed for longevity and to be able to drive the tread belt in total silence.

You can now motivate yourself while working out by listening to your favorite music while working out. The Smooth 6.45M treadmill features a Universal iPod dock with built-in speakers, favorite music through high quality speakers.

To ease any concerns over reliability the Smooth 6.45M Treadmill comes with a truly amazing Lifetime frame and motor warranty, 5 yrs on all other parts and 1 yrs labor.

OK, now lets have a close look under the hood!




… the power to drive you forward!

The Smooth 6.45M utilizes a powerful 3.0 HP motor. This unit has more power than a regular drive system and is controlled by a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) electronics usually only found on high end commercial treadmills.

This motor is for all practical purposes noise-free. Optical speed sensors and the PWM electronics provide smooth speed changes whilst dual motor fans allows you to exercise for longer periods while maintaining a smooth and consistent operation.




… take the shock out of running!

Walking and running are the most natural and enjoyable forms of exercising that you can engage in but the continual pounding can take a toll on your joints. Running on some treadmills can feel like running on concrete.

The Swing Arm Shock Absorption suspension on the 6.45M has been proven to lessen the impact of walking and running. This is just like the suspension system found on gym quality treadmills and provides smooth, shake-free running while ensuring good joint protection.




... plug in your iPod!

The Smooth 6.45M features Deluxe Sound System. Simply hookup your iPod, MP3 player, CD player or other audio device to the auxiliary input jack and you can experience your favorite music during your workout.

A nice feature is an oversized volume control knob in the center of the console so that you no longer have to to fumble with the tiny controls on your audio device during your workout.

..check your performance!

Sporting an oversized LED Console with clear easy to read displays, this intuitive, interactive sytem lets you monitor your speed, distance, calories, time and pulse simultaneously. Additionally a speed profile window displays the intensity of every stage of the workout.




… let your heart take control!

The Smooth 6.45M comes equiped with Heart Rate Control with optional chest strap. The pulse reading from the hand grip pulse monitors is used by the treadmill's computer to automatically adjust the intensity of your workouts. With the treadmill working in harmony with your heart you can reach your optimal fat burning or endurance training zone.




...programmed for success!

The key to staying motivated when using a treadmill and achieving your fitness goals is having a variety of preset programs. The Smooth 6.45M scores here with a 8 Challenging Preset Programs:

Target Distance, Target Time, Target Calories, Interval Incline, Interval Speed, Weight Loss, 5K Self-Learning/Competition and Heart Rate Control. Additionally there are 3 User-Defined Custom Programs.




…multiple user profiles!

The Smooth 6.45M incorporates Nine Storable User Profiles. This facility is especially useful in households with multiple users. Up to nine people can save age, weight and target heart rate information for instant access without the need to key in the personal settings of each user each time.




… whisper quite!

One of the most suprising features of the Smooth 6.45M is how quite it is in operation. Running treadmills are often noisy, but the Whisper Weave treadbelt fitted to this model coupled with the virtually silent motor helps makes it as quiet as any on the market today.




... hit the deck running!

An often underestimated component of an exercise treadmill is the deck. The design and quality of material the deck is made from can radically alter the performance of the treadmill.

With a 325 lb. weight-capacity the ProForm has the strength and durability you should expect from a mid range treadmill. Built to support the toughest of workouts, this robust deck is built to last.




...and so to bed!

The 6.45M is fitted with a Dual-Stage, Soft Drop Folding mechanism. This gas shock-assist lift system allows you to gently tilt the deck into position and wheel it away for storage after use. You can then softly drop it back into place and it's good to go for another workout.




… what if it breaks?

The Smooth 6.45M is underwritten by an amazing Lifetime warranty on the motor in addition to a Lifetime warranty on the frame and 5 yrs on all other parts. Additionally there is 1 yrs in home service.
