Smooth Fitness just announced the introduction of the Smooth 6.25 folding treadmill; made for the demanding runner. The 6.25 is the only treadmill that will satisfy runners that need a stable, heavy-duty, folding treadmill. The Smooth 6.25 will be available exclusively at www.SmoothFitness.com as of October 20, 2005.

The new Smooth Fitness 6.25 folding treadmill is built on the patented 2-piece “Stabili-Frame”, and utilizes Smooth Fitness’ proven patented “Swing-Arm Shock Absorption System”. This exclusive combination of features allows the 6.25 Folding Treadmill to meet the requirements of the most demanding runner.

In addition to the patented Smooth Fitness 2-piece “Stabili-Frame”, the 6.25 Treadmill also has the patented Smooth Fitness “Swing-Arm Shock Absorption Suspension”. Runners that have had a history of lower back pain, shin splints, or degenerative knees will benefit from this system since the Swing Arm technology lessens the impact on these areas of the body. Instead of the impact sending the shock through the body, the impact is dispersed through the swing-arm, deck, and 2-piece Stabili-Frame. This creates a smooth, fluid walk or run with greatly reduced impact.

The custom design allows for a soft, forgiving foot landing on the front of the treadmill deck, while providing a firm push-off from the rear. This provides an ideal surface that reduces impact and relieves pressure on your lower body muscles and tendons, in addition to your lower back.

“While every other treadmill manufacturer has simply accepted that they can not design and engineer a folding treadmill for serious runners, we have recognized this as a tremendous opportunity to fill a demand and meet the needs of an ever-growing market segment”, stated Joe Alter, CEO of Smooth Fitness. “Being the largest manufacturer and seller of treadmills on the Internet, we constantly receive valuable feedback from our large customer-base to ensure that we continue to manufacture innovative fitness equipment that satisfies the needs of our customers.”
