Product Description
You will enjoy working out from the comfort of home with this Sole F63 treadmill. Intuitive features include speed and incline adjustments on the handrails, built-in cooling fans, and a convenient blue backlit LCD display that allows you to keep track of your progress. The built-in audio system lets you work out to your favorite music.

Amazon.com Product Description
Newly designed for 2009 with updated features, the Sole F63 treadmill has earned a reputation as one of the best-quality treadmills in its price range thanks to its unbeatable combination of high-quality components and user-friendliness. The treadmill offers a strong 2.5-horsepower, continuous-duty motor, which delivers challenging speeds of up to 10 miles per hour and inclines of up to 15 percent. The vibrant blue LCD display, meanwhile, closely tracks your workout progress, with information on your speed, incline, time, distance traveled, calories, pulse, and pace. There's even a 1/4-mile digital track that you can follow as you run and a peak-and-valley graph that corresponds to individual programs.

Other details include a wireless heart rate chest strap, six preset workouts, including cardio training and fat burning; a large stop switch for safety; a low-profile running hood; speed and incline controls on the armrests; armrest cooling fans; and a 20-by-55-inch running surface. Perhaps most conveniently, however, the treadmill deck folds into a compact footprint and locks into place when not in use, thereby saving a ton of storage space. The F63 treadmill, which offers a user capacity of 325 pounds, carries the following warranties: 20 years on the motor, three years on the deck, lifetime on the frame, three years on the electronics/belt/rollers, and one year on the labor.

About Treadmills
Walking is still considered one of the most beneficial cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels. As a fundamental form of aerobic training, walking has numerous physical benefits for the heart, lungs, and circulatory system, while also increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories. Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all weather conditions in the comfort and safety of your own home.

From beginners just starting an exercise regimen to advanced athletes looking to maintain their fitness level, anyone interested in getting and staying in shape can benefit greatly from regular use of a treadmill. Treadmills allow you to determine the pace, distance, and complexity of the workout based on your needs, all while watching television, talking on the telephone, or reading a magazine. Much easier on sensitive joints like the knees and hips, treadmill walking and running surfaces are typically long, padded platforms that allow ample room for a long stride and comfortable, low-impact walk or jog without the harsh contact of a concrete surface.

While many different types, styles, and price ranges of treadmills exist, many of them offer unique features like a fold-up design for easy storage, an electronic display monitor showing speed, distance, workout time, incline level, and burned calories, and EKG grip pulses to monitor the heart rate while exercising. Regardless of the simple to complex features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting beneficial cardiovascular results without a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.

5 out of 5 stars Real results, from a real user   September 22, 2009

I have owned this treadmill since January of 2009. I normally don't write reviews on the internet, negative or positive, but I felt that I owed it to this company for the way they have changed my life.

There are alot of reviews, both negative and positive on this treadmill, but they are all written shortly after the treadmill is received. I will say that right out of the gate, I had an issue with some wires coming out of the wiring harness before we got the unit assembled. I was disappointed, and wanted to return the unit. My husband convinced me to let Sole try to remedy the situation first.

He contacted their tech support, and we were sent a wiring harness, which was installed by a very nice local repair man, and the unit was working perfectly within a week. After a few "I told you so's" from my husband, I got to use the machine, and I will never buy another brand again. The features are easy to use, the programs make sense, and I am within 10lbs of where I was when I graduated high school.

The machine is quieter than most on the market, and I love the backlit screen. I had looked at a model by Smooth that was comparably priced, but I didn't like the display. I didn't realize then how much I would have hated not having the screen backlit. It allows me to workout early in the morning, without turning on a bunch of lights, and still see my stats.

If you are serious about a treadmill, don't let the negative reviews fool you, and don't let the positive reviews sell you. Look at the specifications, and you will see, this treadmill really is in a class of it's own, and you won't regret the purchase.

I love the treadmill. Smooth, quiet, comfortable. My husband is 6' 3", 225 lbs. and he has the same feeling. He was worried that the deck wouldn't be long enough for him (it is) or sturdy enough (it is). We both run intervals and find the transitions are easy for both the speed and incline. The extra stuff (speakers and fan) are nice add ons, though the fan isn't very strong. Very happy with our purchase.

The F63 is the best treadmill in it's price range. I know because I basically tested out every single one I could find in my price range. This machine by far is the best one. It was pretty heavy to bring inside, I'd recommend having a friend or two to help get it in the home. It was an easy set up though, some reviews I read said the machine was too big but the dimensions I found on the machine were accurate so I just measured in the room where it was going and it fit perfectly.
It's been about a month now and I haven't had any issues. I haven't been using all the programs as much as I thought mostly because I just like the cardio best. I'm too weak to use just the manual I wouldn't challenge myself enough if I did. I need that program to keep me consistent.
All in all I'm happy with this treadmill.



5 out of 5 stars My 2nd Sole, and couldn't be happier   January 28, 2009

I bought a Sole E25 elliptical a while back, and have been incredibly pleased with it. My wife and I decided to expand our fitness room, and we contacted Sole to buy a treadmill. Because I was a repeat customer Sole gave me $100 off on this item, so I got the F63 for $899, shipped.

I couldn't be happier. It's nice to have our own little fitness center, and I know it's a little obssesive compulsive, but I love the matching equipment from Sole.

This is my second purchase from Sole, and if they come out with any other type of equipment I will be buying it. I have had nothing but pleasant experiences with them. They also gave me 10% off an LCD TV that they recently started shipping.

This is a company that will be around for a while.

I have owned this treadmill for two months and love it. I relied on ratings for this treadmill and several others in the price range from Amazon and several other on-line sites before making a decision between this and another treadmill. I knew I wanted to keep the purchase to $1,000 or less.

So far, I am very happy with it! It is easy to use, quiet in comparison to treadmills at the gym, comfortable. It's a bit smaller than a treadmill you'd see at the gym, but there is plenty of room both width- and length-wise.

I ordered direct from the company and paid the extra set-up fee. I knew I couldn't lift it no matter where they set it in the room in that box to move it out of the box and set it up on my own, so it was definitely worth it for me. It took the delivery company (two people for most of the time, then later one person) about an hour and forty minutes to set it up. It was clear that he was just following the written instructions, without any experience, and both delivery people seemed a little nervous about the project. However, delivery was smooth and everything was set up fine and works well.

Others have commented on here about the sound system. I didn't expect anything fancy, but it works very well for what I expected and need. I plug in a portable dvd player to the sound system and it is plenty loud. Music works well, too.

The fan isn't really very strong, but it helps mildly. I find another fan is necessary to actually keep me cool if I'm doing anything but a slow walk.

I use it to walk fast on an incline, am not a runner, and I was used to holding the bars up front on the gym treadmills when I was on a higher speed setting. That's not really possible on this treadmill. The bars are too low and too close to the front. The result is one's feet hitting the front of the machine repeatedly. However, the side bars work just fine as a replacement if you do like to hold on to something while walking. I have found, too, that most of the time not holding onto anything works just fine on this treadmill.

The inclines and the workouts are comparable to a gym, though the pre-set buttons jump from 2 to 4, to 6 and so - on. You have to use different up/down buttons to get finer differences in between. It takes a bit to get used to, but after a few workouts it is pretty comfortable.

Mine also came with a heart monitor, though I haven't used it yet.

I also used the idea another person mentioned - to go to a Fleet Farm type of store and buy a mat used in a horse or cow stall to put under the treadmill. It was cheaper than comparable mats of the same thickness I'd seen online (about $40). It works very well.

I've noticed the beginning of a slight clunking sound as the incline is going up or down in the past week, but it doesn't appear to be affecting performance at all yet. I haven't yet looked in the manual to see whether I might be able to adjust something to remedy this.

Overall, I am really happy with the treadmill. I use it every day and do not have anything but good things to say about its performance.
