The Sole S77 is a very good medium to heavy duty treadmill. For most users, it will provide all the workout you need, even if you’re a runner. There are plenty of features to challenge you as your fitness improves, and the treadmill is durable enough to last for many years.

The Sole S77 has a 3.5 continuous duty horsepower motor with ultra high torque. It has all the power that even the most serious endurance runners need in a treadmill. And, like other Sole products, the motor comes with a lifetime warranty.

The rest of the warranty is very good, too. The frame and deck also carry a lifetime warranty, the electronics, belt and rollers have a five year warranty, and labor, including in home repair has a two year warranty. Sole’s warranties are the best in the residential treadmill industry.

The deck on the Sole S77 is 20 inches wide, which is wider than many others in this price category. The wider deck makes walking or running more comfortable, since you have much more space on either side of you. This also makes this treadmill great for older walkers who might be a bit unstable on their feet. You don’t have to worry about stepping off the belt.

The running deck on the Sole S77 is also quite long. At 58 inches long, it is comfortable for anyone with a longer stride, such as people who are especially tall. The deck also has Cushion Flex shock absorption, which is really easy on the legs and joints, even when running. And the treadmill can accommodate users up to 400 pounds in weight, so it’s the perfect choice for larger runners and walkers.

The S77 has a lot of features, too. either. There is telemetric heart rate control via a wireless chest strap. There are six preset programs, along with two user defined programs and two heart rate programs that can keep you in the fat burning or training zone by automatically adjusting your speed based on your heart rate. The speed adjusts from.5 to 12 miles per hour and the incline adjusts from 0-15%. You’ll also find an easy read display with six windows, with cooling fans and a plug in for your MP3 player.

This is an excellent treadmill for the money. In fact, it’s hard to find a better residential treadmill than those made by Sole. The Sole S77 weighs 280 pounds and does not fold for storage, so you need to have a permanent place for it in your home. It’s one of Sole’s higher end treadmills, and will cost you around $1900.00, including shipping to the continental US.

Sole treadmills have a very good reputation. They offer the best warranty you can find on residential treadmills and their products are extremely durable. Sole has been in the treadmill business for over 20 years and has developed such durable products because of their work with the hotel industry. For years, they’ve been the leading provider of treadmills for hotel chains. They are also noted for their great customer service. If you have a problem, Sole will work with you to get it resolved.

This particular treadmill has very good user ratings. Users report it to be very strong and durable, and comparable to treadmills in commercial gyms. The biggest complaints that users have with this treadmill is that it is quite heavy, which makes it difficult to assemble and that the fans and speakers are not the greatest quality.

The best price for this treadmill will likely be at an online retailer, and most of them will offer you free shipping. However, keep in mind that this free shipping brings the treadmill only to the door, not into your home. It’s a good idea to have an extra set of hands around to help you get it in the house and to get it set up and assembled.

Even if you plan to buy this treadmill online, it’s wise to take a test walk at a local sporting goods store before you buy. Sole products are sold at Dick’s Sporting Goods stores across the US. Taking the treadmill for a test walk will help you ensure that you find the display easy to read and logical to use and that the treadmill feels sturdy and comfortable to you.

This treadmill is one of the best on the market. And, it may be a higher end treadmill than you need if you only plan on walking. However, if you do regular jogging, or any sort of running, this treadmill will serve you well for many years. It will have the ability to offer you more challenges as you get more fit and it has enough features and programs to keep you from getting bored. It is also a treadmill that will last for years.

For comparison, you may also want to check out the Sole TT8. It is a slightly higher end treadmill, but gives you a wider running deck, a heavier frame and a heavier maximum user capacity. If you want to go down in price, Sole’s F80 will save you about $400, and is also a very solid piece of equipment for joggers and light runners. Other companies that make treadmills in this price category include LifeFitness, Nautilus and Precor.

Once you choose the right treadmill for your home, you’re sure to be pleased with the ability to work out in your own home, whenever it’s convenient for you, and without regard to the weather outdoors.
