Cushion Flex Decks
Sole Treadmills is excited to offer Cushion Flex Decks, our low impact joint friendly
deck design. The Cushion Flex system offers stability for the user while providing
minimal stress to hips, knees ankles and spine. The Cushion Flex system was originated
back in 1992 and was recognized by a leading university as the industry's best,
providing a .365 lower impact than walking or running on asphalt. Sole does this
without compromising any of the stable, safe feel of the treadmill. This type of
technology makes all the difference in treadmill training.
The Cushion Flex suspension system greatly reduces impact to feet, ankles, knees,
hips and spine. This reduction in impact is an outstanding benefit to users with
running and walking related injuries and has proven highly effective in therapeutic
applications. Sole's all-steel welded frame design and Cushion Flex suspensions
system provide the softest, safest and most stable running surface available. Individuals
of all ages who are serious about fitness will appreciate the advantage offered
by Sole's Cushion Flex treadmills. Cushion Flex is a controlled low impact design
with the deck, frame and incline system all working together.
Folding Deck Design – Easy Assist
Sole Fitness if proud to offer the best folding treadmill design on the
market. Our design features a patented all gear rack & pinion system with the
Safety Lock Deck design that locks the deck into place when the
treadmill is in the upright position. Our new 2009 folding treadmills also come
with our Easy Assist Folding Deck Design, this unique feature allows
you to release the deck, step back and the deck will unfold itself effortlessly
while you watch. The Easy Assist Folding deck design is unique to Sole and makes
unfolding your treadmill all too easy.
Double Horseshoe Folding Frame
The double horseshoe frame design came about as a result of needing a very
stable frame for our hotels. Hilton needed a 215 lb. treadmill to be as mobile as
a room service cart, while still putting a marathoner to the test. The result is
a folding frame that is more stable than most non-folding frames. It also allows
the user to move the treadmill with ease. With the deck in the upright and locked
position these treadmills are as mobile and stable as a moving dolly.
Message Board
Sole is proud to offer integrated message boards on most of our 2009 models.
What is the Sole Message Board; it is an alphanumeric text center that sends scrolling
messages to the user in an effort to guide them through all of the details of every
workout. Ever wonder how to set up the user profile workout, just push the user
profile button the message board will walk you though the rest. Think of the message
board as having someone standing next to you reading from the owner's manual on
what to do next in just about every function of the treadmill. After years of seeing
people get frustrated in the gym and at home we came up with a better way to help
you use the full capabilities of our treadmills, and we made is very user friendly.
The message board will also recap your entire workout after you are finished, so
you can see your progress.
Programmable Heart Rate Controlled Workout
Most Sole treadmills come complete with Heart Rate controlled workout options to
individualize the workout specifically to your needs. This option shows the persons
heart rate on the console and the treadmill will adjust incline to keep the heart
rate at a determined level. Professional athletes have long known the aerobic benefits
of training at a specific heart rate; Sole gives this same option to everyone. Sole
treadmills come complete with the heart rate electronics in the console, and a chest
strap for the user. The wireless control is 99.9% accurate, as good as an electrocardiogram.
High Torque Motors with Flywheels
All Sole treadmills feature the heaviest duty chassis and motors in their class.
Beginning with powder coated all-steel welded frames and heavy duty stable inclines,
we add industrial quality motors with large diameter, all-steel zinc coated balanced
flywheels for a vibration-free secure running/walking surface. Why do we add a flywheel
to our motors? Flywheels cause the motor to run cooler with less amp draw and extend
the life off the motor. They also allow us to offer a start speed of .5mph of 1mph.
Sole also uses much heavier flywheels than its competitors which give you the fluid
motion you're accustomed to at the gym or on treadmill costing thousands more.
Rollers
When we chose the rollers for our treadmill line we went with only the best and
outfitted all of our treadmills with the same high-end rollers that most people
only offer on $5000 treadmills. We use 2.75" rollers with a sealed bearing
design and copper ground wires for each roller to reduce static. Larger rollers
make for a larger contact surface against the belt and longer roller and belt life.
This makes for smooth, quiet, static free motion that will stand the test of time.
Belts
We use double woven 2-ply belts with four layers on almost all of our treadmills.
Two rubber layers 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.
Bullet proof frames
All Sole treadmills feature epoxy powder coated paint, baked to appliance
finish durability. This finish protects the all-steel construction, along with welded
steel, not bolted, our frames are indestructible thus the lifetime warranty.
In Room Fitness
Sole pioneered the concept of
In Room Fitness by placing high end treadmills in individual guest rooms
at some of the best Hotels in the world. The Sole F80 is available in Hilton Hotels,
Omni Hotels and Kimpton Group hotels in hundreds of locations throughout the US.
This has created huge awareness of our brand and made Sole Treadmills synonymous
with the most widely recognized hotel chains.
Whisper Decks
What makes the Whisper Deck so special, we offer a Lifetime Warranty on all of our
Whisper Decks. It is simple; we go the extra mile and build a deck that is superior
to any other on the market. Most decks have a Phenolic coating to make them smooth,
quiet and durable. Whisper decks have this same type of technology in the design
but through our proprietary engineering we make them quieter, smoother and so durable
we offer a Lifetime Warranty on our Whisper Decks. No need to flip our decks, if
you wear it our, we will replace it f or free. (You won't wear it out)
www.TreadmillDoctor.com
There are several companies on the internet that review Treadmills but none is more
honest or straight forward than the TreadmillDoctor.com. He tells it like it is
and pulls no punches on the quality; or lack thereof, of the treadmill. The amount
of traffic that he gets on his site has set him up as the premier location for treadmill
research. Sole has had a relationship with the Doctor for the past 7 years and he
has high regard for our treadmills and considers them a huge value in both quality
and service. The Treadmill Doctor has spoken and Sole has passed with flying colors.
