Sole F85 Treadmill (2011 Model)

The top model in Sole’s folding series, the F85 treadmill is a great choice for serious workout enthusiasts. All Sole treadmills are outfitted with powder-coated, all-steel welded frames and heavy-duty, stable inclines. Sole took the F85 to another level, however, by using an industrial-quality 3.5-horsepower continuous-duty motor and an all-steel zinc-coated balanced flywheel, helping it reach speeds of up to 12 miles per hour and inclines of up to 15 percent. The treadmill’s integrated flywheel is also 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 deck. 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 F85′s console includes a vibrant 9-inch LCD display and an integrated sound system.  The F85 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 F85 comes complete with two heart-rate-controlled workout options, so you can customize the workout specifically to your needs. Throughout your HR workout, the treadmill will display a heart rate zone graph on the console while adjusting the incline to keep you in your target zone (the treadmill includes a wireless chest strap that touts a 99.9 percent accuracy rating). The remainder of the time, you can challenge yourself with the six automatic programs or two customizable programs.

In addition, the F85 incorporates the largest deck that Sole offers. At 22 by 60 inches, the deck offers plenty of room for runners with wide, unfocused strides. And to reduce space, the F85 boasts an Easy Assist folding deck design. This unique feature allows you to release the deck, step back, and watch the deck unfold itself. When you’re done with your workout, simply fold it back up and store it out of the way. Other features include built-in cooling fans, armrest incline and speed controls, and a low-profile running hood.

The treadmill’s Easy Assist folding deck helps save space in crowded homes.
