Sole S77 Treadmill
Review

Sole S77 Treadmill - this is a fitness club quality non-folding treadmill using high quality components around an extremely powerful motor.

The frame of the Sole S77 features an epoxy powder coated paint, baked to appliance finish durability. This finish protects the all-steel, welded construction. The frame is virtually indestructible and comes with a lifetime warranty.

In the engine room of the Sole S77 lies a powerful, 3.5 HP continuous duty motor that delivers speeds of up to 12 mph and inclines up to 15% for the most demanding fitness fanatic.

The motor is of industrial quality and fitted with a large diameter, all-steel zinc coated balanced flywheel for a vibration-free secure running/walking surface.

The motor runs cooler with less current draw thanks to this flywheel and gives an extended motor life. This also allows for a start speed of .1mph or 1/10 of 1mph. that is super slow and allows very easy and smooth starts to your fitness session.

The Sole S77 uses precision rollers that are usually found only $5000 treadmills. These are 2.75 inch rollers with a sealed bearing design and copper ground wires for each roller to reduce static.

These oversize rollers allow for a larger contact surface against the belt and longer roller and belt life. This results in a smooth, quiet, static free motion.

Double woven 2-ply belts with four layers are used on the S77. Two rubber layers are laid over a middle PVC layer with a nylon backing that rolls over the deck and rollers.

The rubber provides the durability, the PVC stops the belt from over-stretching and the nylon provides a smooth static free surface to glide over the deck and rollers.

Although other exercise treadmill manufacturers fit Whisper decks this deck is exceptionally smooth and quiet and so durable that Sole offer a lifetime warranty on it. If it wears out Sole will replace it for free.

The Sole S77 offers the stability and durability of all Sole Treadmills, and includes the proprietary Cushion Flex Decks. This unique system offers stability for the user while providing minimal stress to hips, knees ankles and spine during your fitness workout.

The Cushion Flex system has been recognized by a major university as the fitness industry's best, providing a 365% lower impact than walking or running on asphalt. Sole does this without compromising any of the stable, safe feel of the treadmill.

The S77 combines 6, easy-to-follow pre-programmed fitness workouts with two customizable workout programs and two heart rate programs.

The S77's console is user friendly with a Tri-Color display. The information that is displayed at all times include Speed, Incline, Time, Distance Traveled, Calories, Pulse and Pace.

There is also a 1/4 mile track feature and a Peak and Valley graph for different fitness programs. The S77 gives a clear readout and visual pulse detection.

The Sole S77 console also incorporates an innovative message board system. This is an alphanumeric text center that sends scrolling messages to the user to assist them through all of the details of every fitness workout.

You may for instance be unsure how to set up the "user profile workout", just push the user profile button the message board will walk you though the rest.

Think of the message board as having a trainer standing next to you reading from the owner's manual on what to do next in just about every function of the treadmill.

The message board is easy to use and will also recap your entire workout after you are finished, so you can see your progress.
