You will be amazed of this unit’s performance!
The Sole F85 Treadmill has the heaviest motor in its class, indestructible steel frames and high quality rollers that make this machine extremely long lasting. And you might think such a powerful machine is loud and uncomfortable! You are wrong. The Sole F85 Treadmill runs silently and smoothly, so you can enjoy a comfortable and pleasant workout. The Cushion Flex deck absorbs shock and provides the perfect running surface.
Console
The Sole F85 Treadmill console has a three color display that presents the workout feedback simultaneously. On the screen, you can see the Distance Traveled, Time, Speed, Incline, Pulse, Calories, and Pace. A Peak and Valley graph is also available for different programs.
There are many settings available, so that users can create their personal programs that fit their desires best. If you choose one of the two heat rate control options, you can monitor your heart rate. There is also a wireless chest strap included that sends your data to the console.
One of the features that make this unit tremendously easy to use is the Message board system. This system practically guides the user every step of the way in commanding the machine. Users receive text messages that explain exactly what to do in order to modify or adjust the treadmill’s settings. Everything will be explained to you by the Message system. You do not have to read any manuals to understand how to command this unit. It seems that there is always “somebody” next to you, guiding your steps. This is what we call a user-friendly device.
Because working out is not enjoyable without some music in the background, the console has an audio system included that allows you to listen to your Mp3 player or iPod.
Two cooling fans are built into the console, providing a pleasant breeze while you run.
Programs
When you exercise on the Sole F85 Treadmill, you can choose one of the 6 preprogrammed workouts, or build your own customized workout that perfectly suits your needs. The two heart rate options allow you to monitor your heart rate. A heart rate zone graph will be displayed when using these options, and the machine will adjust itself so that your heart rate remains inside the target zone.
