Sole TT8 Treadmill
Review

Sole TT8 Treadmill - if you want a non-folding exercise treadmill with plenty of room to run on then this is the treadmill for you.

The main distinguishing point from the Sole TT8 and other exercise treadmills in this range is it's huge treadbelt. With a width of 22 ins you won't find a treadmill with a wider running surface at this price.

The frame of the Sole TT8 features an epoxy powder coated paint, baked to appliance finish durability. This finish protects the all-steel, welded construction. The frame is all but indestructible and is covered by a lifetime warranty.

In the engine room of the Sole TT8 you will find a powerful, 3.5 HP continuous duty motor that delivers speeds of up to 12 mph and inclines up to 15% to meet the most demanding fitness enthusiast.

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. Another benefit is a start speed of 0.1mph or 1/10 of 1mph. that is super slow and allows very easy and smooth starts to your fitness workout.

The Sole TT8 uses precision rollers that are usually found only $5000 exercise treadmills. These are 2.75 inch rollers with a sealed bearing design and copper ground wires for each roller to reduce static.

These large 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 TT8. 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 TT8 offers the stability and durability of all Sole Treadmills, and includes the proprietary Cushion Flex Decks. This system offers stability for the user while reducing stress to hips, knees ankles and spine.

The Cushion Flex system has been acknowledged by a prominent university researching fitness as the industry's best, providing a 365% lower impact than walking or running on asphalt.

The TT8 combines 6, easy-to-follow pre-programmed workouts with four customizable workout programs and three heart rate programs.

The TT8'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 programs. The TT8 gives a clear readout and visual pulse detection to monitor progress during your fitness workout.

The Sole TT8 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.

Perhaps you are unsure how to set up the "user profile workout", just push the user profile button the message board will walk you though the rest.

Imagine the message board as having a helper 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 a breeze to use and will also log your entire fitness workout after you are finished, so you can see your progress.
