What We Like
High-quality parts: Sole originally made commercial treadmills, and customers have likened the TT8 to a fitness club machine. Its motor, belt, and deck are built for a lifetime of regular use.
Motor: The TT8 has a quiet commercial-grade 3.5 HP with ultra-high torque. The treadmill has a high speed of 12 mph and can support a user weighing up to 425 pounds.
Track size: With its 60”x22” running area, the Sole TT8 stands out from any other home treadmill we’ve seen. In fact, this unique feature gives the treadmill its name: TT stands for “twenty-two.”
Track cushioning: Sole’s “whisper quiet” CushionFlex technology has been proven to reduce joint impact by up to 40% when compared with road running. Some other treadmill brands only claim a 15% impact reduction.
Warranty: Sole Fitness leads the treadmill industry with its warranties. The Sole TT8 is sold with a lifetime warranty on the frame and motor, a five-year warranty on other parts, and two years of in-home service.
Audio: The Sole TT8 has built-in speakers. Users can play music from their MP3 players.
Extras: A wireless heart rate monitor and speed/incline controls built into the arm rails are standard in the Sole non-folding treadmill series.
What We Don’t Like
Workout programs: The TT8 has only ten workout programs.
Large footprint: With its 32” X 80” deck, the Sole TT8 requires a large dedicated workout space.
Our Verdict
Sole treadmills are built to last and are sold with generous warranties. This top-of-the-line track provides more running area than any other home track and has a high weight capacity. However, the large size isn’t necessary for all users. Some people might prefer to spend the extra money on a treadmill with more programs and other features.
