Sole
4.5
(29)
"Current model is the Sole F63. When it goes on sale, it runs about $1k. All the Sole models are known for reliability."
"Sole F80 is solid as all get out. Bought mine used. I love it, and the only maintenance is lubing the deck."
"We ended up getting a SOLE and my husband is happy with it (and it’s $3k cheaper)."
"We have had a Sole F80 since Christmas and so far so good! I like it a lot. It is quiet and no issues with the touch screen."
"We have always been happy with the Sole brand. I had 1 of their treadmills for 8 years before I moved and it still was doing great."
"Sole F80 ($1,400) is a tank with a 3.5 CHP motor that’ll outlive your gym membership."
"I've had a Sole Fitness treadmill for 15 years that still works great. Mine is an F83."
