Sole S77 Treadmill (2011 Model)

Offering the power of a club-quality treadmill but in the comfort of your own home, the Sole S77 non-folding treadmill is ideal for serious runners committed to winter training. All Sole treadmills are outfitted with powder-coated, all-steel welded frames and heavy-duty, stable inclines. Sole took the S77 to another level, however, by using an industrial-quality 3.5-horsepower continuous-duty motor and adding the largest deck that Sole offers--a 22-inch wide running surface that fits virtually any runner. The treadmill also includes an all-steel, zinc-coated balanced flywheel that's much heavier than most other brands, giving runners the fluid motion they're accustomed to at the gym. To accommodate runners with balky joints, Sole added its low-impact, whisper-quiet Cushion Flex system. The Cushion Flex system greatly reduces the impact to your feet, ankles, knees, hips, and spine, making it comfortable for frequent runners or for users with running- and walking-related injuries. In a recent study, researchers concluded that the Cushion Flex deck reduced impact up to 40 percent as compared to running on asphalt. The S77's console includes a vibrant 9-inch LCD display and an integrated sound system. The S77 makes it easy to track your workout progress via the vibrant 9-inch LCD display, which includes windows for speed, incline, time, distance traveled, calories, pulse, and pace. The console also sports a 1/4-mile track and a peak-and-valley graph for different programs, along with an integrated sound system for listening to your iPod or MP3 player (the system includes built-in speakers and a sound cord that plugs into your player's headphone jack). Perhaps the handiest feature is the integrated message board, which offers scrolling messages that walk you through the treadmill's features or the workout itself. The message board will also recap your entire routine after you're finished, so you can see your progress from workout to workout. The S77 comes complete with two heart-rate-controlled
