Why a Good Treadmill Matters

A treadmill isn’t just a machine—it’s your personal track, ready whenever you are.

Say sayonara to excuses and hello to consistent training, joint-friendly cushioning, and total control over your run. Be it a newbie or seasoned sprinter, a good treadmill turns “meh” workouts into milestones.

The SOLE TT8’s 4.0 CHP motor means no compromises on running performance.

Top Treadmill Features to Look For

Motor Power & Performance

When discussing runs, motor power isn’t up for debate—it’s the engine behind your stride. Aim for at least 3.5 HP to keep up with your sprints and speedwork. Treadmills with 4.0 HP motors bring the heat, so you can power through intervals without skipping a beat.

Running Surface

For running, size matters—your belt size, that is. A 22” x 60” deck gives you room to stretch your stride safely, even when hitting top speed. No more feeling cramped or cautious—just pure, natural movement.

Our Cushion Flex Whisper Deck absorbs up to 40% of the shock—your joints will thank you.

Cushioning & Impact Protection

Running shouldn’t feel like a wrestling match with your knees. Advanced cushioning systems absorb the impact so your joints don’t have to. SOLE’s Cushion Flex Whisper Deck, for example, reduces impact up to 40%—letting you conquer long runs without the post-run hobble.

Tech Specs

Tech can make or break a workout. Features like Bluetooth connectivity and touchscreens keep things fresh. Treadmills with tilting screens bring live classes right to your sweat session, while models that sync with fitness apps (like the SOLE+ App) offer workouts made just for you. Goodbye, boring runs!

The SOLE TT8’s incline and decline settings lets you mimic outdoor terrain.

Incline & Speed Adjustability

Want to crush hill sprints or train for that dream trail run? Varied incline and speed options have you covered. Treadmills with a wide range of incline settings (decline options are a bonus!) are perfect for mimicking outdoor terrains.

Speed matters, too—models with at least 12 MPH let you go from a relaxed jog to full-on sprints.
