Sole S77 Treadmill Review

There’s a little more to say of the Sole S77 Treadmill compared to some of the other treadmills in Sole’s lineup. Remember, Sole treadmills are well made pieces of machinery and if you choose to purchase a Sole Treadmill you’ll enjoy comfortable workouts on a stable frame with a very quiet motor. However, I can’t honestly say that Sole is going to the same lengths to deliver the biggest bang for your buck Horizon and Bowflex are. The problem is price. Most Sole Treadmills are just too expensive to recommend, and the Sole S77 Treadmill is not worth the price. I would much rather see my penny pinching readers purchase the Sole F80 for about $1500 compared to the $1899.

There are a couple reasons you might consider buying the Sole S77 over the Sole F80; a non-folding design and more running space. Folding treadmills of any brand are generally less stable than non-folding treadmills but most people can’t tell a difference in stability between folding and non-folding treadmills by companies that manufacture better equipment like Sole, Spirit, and Horizon Fitness. If you’re a serious runner, you’ll probably notice a difference, but most other people won’t.

The other reason is a larger running area. You get a 5” wider running area with the Sole S77. If you’re a larger person, say larger than 6”1’ or more than 250 lbs. you just might need the extra 5”. But most people don’t. If you are a larger person, then by all means spend the extra couple hundred bucks to buy the Sole S77, but if not and you want to save a couple hundred bucks and have a treadmill that will perform just as well as the Sole S77 then the Sole F80 is for you.

Do the research and you’ll find the treadmill that fits your needs and budget!
