The Sole brand’s first treadmills were commercial fitness machines. These models became popular with luxury hotel chains, and now Sole manufactures a wider variety of machines for the home treadmills market too. For more than 20 years, the company has maintained a reputation for manufacturing high-quality machines.
Where Can I Buy This?
All of the Sole treadmills can be purchased directly from their website at SoleTreadmills.comWhat We Like
High-quality parts: Sole home treadmills include many parts that are worthy of commercial-grade machines intended for heavy use.
Motors: Sole’s home treadmills are packed with commercial-grade motors of up to 3.5 HP each. The motors are cooled by heavy-duty flywheels, so they’re likely to last much longer than motors with a comparable amount of horsepower. They are also surprisingly quiet.
Track size: Sole treadmill tracks have up to 62”x20” running areas.
Track cushioning: Sole’s CushionFlex technology has been proven to reduce joint impact by up to 40% when compared with road running. Some other brands’ treadmill tracks only claim a 15% impact reduction.
Compact design: Several Sole treadmill models can be folded to save space.
Stability: A unique horseshoe design helps make Sole’s foldable treadmills sturdier than those made by other companies.
Warranties: Sole warranties are among the best in the business. Most models are sold with lifetime warranties on the motor, deck, and frame plus one or two years of free servicing.
Extras: Special features such as audio ports, wireless heart rate monitoring, and controls on the armrests help make Sole treadmills a pleasure to use.
What We Don’t Like
It’s not easy to find fault with Sole treadmills. Of course, as with all other treadmill lines, the entry-level models have fewer features than the top-of-the-line machines.
Our Verdict
Sole treadmills are highly recommended. Their commercial-grade motors and long, cushioned tracks can support heavy use. Special features such as audio ports help make exercise more enjoyable. In short, the manufacturer uses high-quality parts and offers one of the best warranty packages in the treadmill industry.
