NordicTrack Treadmills vs. Sole Treadmills

Posted on December 9, 2011 by Fitness Guy

I often get inquiries from my readers on which brand offers a better treadmill, NordicTrack or Sole. I’ve been a big fan of both brands for a number of years. Sole has built a reputation for offering reliable and sturdy treadmills. In fact, they were the first to offer 5-year parts and 2-year labor warranties on most of their models.

However, over the last several years NordicTrack has not only improved the quality of their treadmills, but they also have included some of the most innovative features found on any treadmill in the industry. These include the motivational technology known as iFit Live. Read more …

Amazon Discounts Sole Treadmills

Amazon is running sale on two Sole Treadmills as of 5/13/11. You can get the 2011 Sole F63 treadmill for $849 with shipping. That is a $150 below the typical price on SoleTreadmills.com. They also are selling the 2010 version of the Sole S77 Treadmill for $1,444. That is a $350 discount. There are two differences between the 2010 and the 2011 version. For 2011 the S77 treadbelt width was increased to 22″ from 20″. Also they changed the console to an LCD, although I liked the previous 2010 LED console.

Note: There were only three 2010 S77 treadmills available at this price.

Amazon is offering $100 off on several Sole Treadmill and Elliptical Trainers. This price is below that offered on the Sole Site and at Dick’s Sporting Goods. The discount shows up in the shopping cart.

Each model that is on sale is a solid buy. Sole has a reputation for building durable and solid machines. In fact, their treadmills are used for in-room exercising and several hotel changes. Furthermore, all their models that are on sale come with a 5-year parts and 2-year labor warranty. If you are considering either a treadmill or elliptical trainer, with the discount this is an excellent value.

To learn more go to the Sole Treadmill Reviews and the Sole Elliptical Trainer Reviews. Sale runs until the end of July 2010.

Viewer’s Question on Sole F80 vs. Spirit 385

Posted on February 25, 2010 by Fitness Guy

Dear staff at treadmill-rating-reviews

I’ve been reading your reviews and insight on various models of machines and I had a couple questions with which I hope you can help. Your answers will greatly benefit me when deciding which machine to purchase.

I’m down to deciding between three treadmills. Sole F80, Spirit XT 385, and Spirit XT 485. I am looking to use the machine five days a week running between 5-7 miles a day at speeds of 7 or 8mph. Although I am a male, I am much shorter and weigh only 135 lbs so in truth can all these machines handle the demands I will put on them. According to your review, Sole F80′s 3.0 motor can handle running but I noticed where your review stated that Spirit XT385 with a similar sized motor could not handle serious running. Is this the case?

If I go with Spirit is it best to go with Spirit XT485 considering the heavy demands I will put on it. It is only me so no other users will be on this machine.

Thank you!

Sole Treadmills vs Smooth Treadmills

I often get inquiries as to which is better a Sole treadmill or Smooth treadmill. First, I have to confess that I use to work for Smooth several years ago, however, I believe both brands offer quality equipment at a value price. Here are some considerations.

Both Sole and Smooth offer 2-year labor, 5-year parts and lifetime motor warranties on most of their models. This says something about the durability of their machines. They would go broke with that kind of warranty if these treadmills did not hold up. Read more …

Treadmill Purchase in Canada

Posted on April 9, 2008 by Fitness Guy

Here is a question for a new treadmill buyer…

Hello,I have read carefully through your treadmill reviews and have noted the recommendations and rankings. Â I am in Canada, so the pricing is quite different, especially with the January sales on. Â As a result, it is a bit tough to directly apply rankings which are presumably based on regular

U.S. pricing. Â I have found some seemingly very good deals here and wonder which of them you think best, so I have converted the pricing to what it would cost in U.S. dollars.

Treadmill	Treadmill	Regular	Today’s Price	Â Savings	Â Savings	Source
Make	Model	US Price	in Canada	Â $	%
Nordic Track	Apex 6500	Â $Â 1,899	Â $Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 1,687	Â $Â Â Â Â Â 212	11%	Sears.ca
PaceMaster	Gold Elite	Â $Â 2,199	Â $Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 1,776	Â $Â Â Â Â Â 423	19%	Fitness Depot
Sole	F80	Â $Â 1,499	Â $Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 1,588	Â $Â Â Â Â Â (89)	-6%	Fitness Superstore
Bodyguard	T240	Â $Â 1,999	Â $Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 1,783	Â $Â Â Â Â Â 216	11%	Treadmill Factory
Life Fitness	T3.0	Â $Â 2,199	Â $Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 1,667	Â $Â Â Â Â Â 532	24%	Fitness Source (flyer price)
PaceMaster	Bronze	Â $Â 1,699	Â $Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 1,428	Â $Â Â Â Â Â 271	16%	Fitness Depot

I am looking for a solid, very dependable machine.Â I will use it for walking and my girlfriend for jogging and it is possibly that I might return to jogging after a 25 year absence but am unlikely ever to get very serious about running. Â I know that there are cheaper machines appropriate for walking but I want good quality and weighing 210lbs at present, something that will handle my weight and 6â€™0â€ height easily. Fold-ability would be nice also but not at the expense of quality.Which would do you recommend most highly?

Thanks, Karl Read more …

My site review of the Sole F85 treadmill is very favorable for several reasons…

It comes with some impressive features like a 3.5 continuous duty HP motor, 60″ long running surface and 2.75″ rollers.Â
It has a good service record. From the feedback I have received, it holds up well for both joggers and runners.Â
It has an impressive warranty.Â In addition to lifetime coverage on the motor, and five years on the parts, you get a two year service warranty. Read more …
