The Sole F63 treadmill represents the company’s first foray into the
economy treadmill market, and at a sale price of $999 the Sole F63 easily
outperforms many of the economy priced treadmills crowding the market.
The Sole F63 is a great choice for walkers who are looking for an
affordable treadmill that is durable and easy to use, and the Sole F63 will
appeal to occasional joggers in search of an indoor workout as well.
The company that makes the Sole F63 treadmill has long been a staple of the
hotel fitness club market, and Sole treadmills are often found in upscale
hotel chains such as Hilton. Sole has recently begun making its high quality
treadmills available to the home market as well, and the Sole F63 represents
the company’s entry into the lucrative economy treadmill market.
The Sole F63 treadmill features a powerful continuous duty 2.5 horsepower
motor and has a user-weight capacity of 325 pounds. It also features a speed
that is adjustable from 0.5 to 10 miles per hour and a 15% adjustable
incline. In addition, the Sole F63 features a generous walking and running
surface of 20” x 55”. The attractive display even includes a peak and valley
readout so you can track your progress up those steep hills.
For those who are short of space, the Sole F63 is foldable, and it includes
a hand grip pulse monitor which includes a wireless chest strap. The Sole
F63 is built of fine quality materials, and it performs smoothly and
reliably. Walkers and joggers will also appreciate the built-in water bottle
holder and built-in fans.
My Overall Impression:
The Sole F63 represents the manufacturers’ first foray into the economy
treadmill market, and it represents one of the best values in treadmills
priced at $1,199.99 (shipping included). Although it lacks some of the luxuries and more
advanced features of higher end Sole models like the
F80 and
F83, the Sole
F63 provides an excellent workout for the frequent walker and for the
occasional jogger. More serious joggers and runners, however, may wish instead to opt
for the
Sole F83 treadmill, which features a more powerful motor and a
lifetime warranty on the deck.
You might also want to consider the
5.25 Smooth treadmill, which is comparably priced at $988 and is
better suited for regular running than the Sole F63.
Details on the Sole F63
A More Comfortable Workout
The Sole F63 treadmill features an
excellent cushioning system for a more comfortable workout. The Cushion Flex
running surface featured on the Sole F63 is one of the best cushioning
surfaces on the market, and a recent study showed that this surface was able
to provide an impact 365% lower than running on asphalt.
A Great Warranty
The Sole F63 treadmill features a generous warranty for a treadmill that is
priced so affordably, including a lifetime warranty on the frame, a 20 year
motor warranty, a three year warranty on the electronics, rollers and deck,
and a one year labor warranty. This warranty easily puts it clearly on
top of the economy treadmill market.
A Foldable Design
The foldable feature of the Sole F63 is provided using a specially designed
double horseshoe frame. This unique design provides a very stable feel when
walking or jogging, and the design also includes a safety lock for added
security when moving it from place to place.
Speed and Incline Controls
One of the most convenient features of the Sole F63 is the positioning of
the controls for speed and incline in the arm rests. This handy feature
allows you to easily adjust the speed or incline at the touch of a button.
Belt Surface
The Sole F63 also features a generous walking/running surface of 20” x 55”,
along with a powerful 2.5 HP motor to power it. A large belt area coupled
with a less powerful motor could cause the motor to burn out prematurely,
but the 2.5 HP motor provides plenty of power to the large running surface.
