Product Description
We are proud and excited to offer the TT8 series treadmill. TT stands for twenty-two as in twenty-two inches wide. The TT8 treadmill offers a twenty-two inch wide running surface designed to give our customers an extra safe and comfortable feel.

If you're looking for a 22" wide treadmill and you want all the options a treadmill can have, the TT8 is your treadmill. The running surface is the largest Sole has at 60" X 22". The TT8 offers a top speed of 12mph and a top incline of 15% to give you a variety of options for interval workouts. We also add our 6 window dot-matrix display, a wisper deck with a lifetime warranty, and a 3.5HP motor with a 21lb. flywheel for smooth and consistant power. The TT8 treadmill has the same great cushion flex deck that other Sole models have to minimize stress to hips, knees and ankles.

The TT8 also comes with HRC (heart rate control) complete with a Polar chest strap to keep you on target for heart rate training. The TT8 has every option and upgrade available, it is simply the finest treadmill in the Sole line, backed by the best warranty in the market


Amazon.com Product Description
The Sole TT8 treadmill differs from other treadmills in one crucial area--the running deck is an impressive 22 inches wide (as compared to the standard 20 inches) by 60 inches long. This gives runners more space to work with, thereby increasing their safety and comfort level. At the same time, the TT8 doesn't skimp on power or functionality, with a robust 3.5-horsepower, continuous-duty motor that delivers speeds of up to 12 miles per hour and inclines of up to 15 percent. Add in the six-window LED display--which tracks your speed, incline, time, distance traveled, calories, pulse, and pace--and you have an ideal treadmill for the home fitness enthusiast.

The TT8 is outfitted with a host of additional user-friendly features, including six auto workout programs, four custom programs, and two heart-rate control programs for cardio or weight loss. When in heart-training mode, the treadmill automatically makes adjustments to the incline to keep you in your target heart-rate zone (the treadmill comes with a wireless chest strap with a 99.9 percent accuracy rating). And users with creaky joints will love the Cushion Flex treadmill deck, which is built to protect your knees from excessive pounding, with the ability to reduce impact up to 40 percent compared to running on asphalt. Other details include a double-woven two-ply running belt; armrest speed and incline controls; and armrest cooling fans. The TT8, which offers a user capacity of 400 pounds, carries the following warranties: lifetime on the frame; three years on the motor, deck, electronics, and wear items; and one year on 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 Fantastic Treadmill   January 21, 2010

This is an honest review of the Sole TT8. The other review seems to be written by someone at the company, since he says that he owns every single Sole model in his house. I doubt that is an honest review.

Previously I had a Nordictrack but the frame snapped on me and Nordictrack refused to fix it and even hung up on the phone with me. I filed a report with the Consumer Product Safety Commission. This is why I needed a new treadmill.

I poured over treadmill reviews for weeks online. Its really tough to find honest reviews because there are a lot of fake websites out there written by the manufacturers to review their own products and say that they are good. You can't trust those.

What I liked the most about Sole is that they have a lifetime warranty on their motor, frame, and deck. Thats pretty outstanding and says a lot in itself. The quality of their 'residential' treadmills are so high, that Hilton and Omni hotels use them in their exercise rooms for commercial use. Thats pretty amazing. You're basically getting the commercial quality of a Precor or Life Fitness at a residential rate with this treadmill.

I went back and forth between the folding Sole treadmills and the non-folding ones. Some people have reported a 'low speed error' on the folding treadmills that renders the treadmill inoperable until it can be fixed. However I could not find one negative review anywhere on the non-folding Sole treadmills. I opted for the TT8 because of the power of the motor (3.5HP, very high), and that the belt is 22"x60". My crappy Nordictrack was only 20"x55" and since I'm over 6' that was kinda small for me. Well let me tell you, the belt and deck on this is absolutely amazing and a million times better than Nordictrack. The belt is already on the deck when its delivered and it needed no adjustment whatsoever to start using that. Thats great because I hated adjusting my Nordictrack.

Also, before I forget, I opted for the standard scheduled freight delivery with the package being 'curbside'. The freight service ended up being Pilot Freight Service and they were very very nice. The treadmill comes in a huge box and it weighs 300lbs. They were so nice, that they helped me carry it inside, and even down to my basement. That was VERY unexpected and I was very grateful to them for that. Otherwise I would have had to open up the box outside and bring it down piece by piece myself (which I dont think I'd be able the do, the deck part is one giant piece with the majority of the weight, way too heavy for me).

Anywho, the assembly was very simple. A few nuts and bolts. One metal thing that I was to screw into was bent, but I was able to bend it back into place with a wrench no problem.

So far I've only run 3 times on it (I just got it 2 days ago). 4 miles, 1 mile, then 4 miles again. Outstanding. I use my iphone to play music through the built in speakers. I am an audio nut, but I have to say the quality of the speakers really isn't that bad for being built into a treadmill. The bass sucks but thats to be expected. Just don't blast music at 100% volume on your phone and its fine. One really negative thing though is that the built in fans are COMPLETELY useless. You cant feel them at all when they spin. Oh well. Thats the only negative thing about this treadmill. I used the wireless heartrate device on my last run and it was definitely pretty neat seeing my heart rate during the whole run. And running on it is pretty quiet too. I used to wake up the whole house (and probably my neighbors when I was in a townhouse) with the Nordictrack, but with the Sole it is so quiet that nobody can even hear me running on it. They can hear my music though, haha.

If I ever have a problem with the treadmill, I will certainly update this review. As of now I will definitely rate this as 5 stars. Thanks Sole for making such a high quality residential treadmill! It makes me feel like I was missing out on so much when I was running on my junky Nordictrack.

I am fully away that this treadmill is on the higher side of $$ for residential, but it is well worth the investment. When you compare the quality and cost of this to the Precor and Life Fitness, you'll quickly see that your getting the same quality (and an awesome warranty) for well under half the cost of one of those. I hope this review helps others with their decision.

Wow, what a great home product. This treadmill is heavy duty and as sturdy under foot as a gym version. The buttons are easy to use. Does take some assembly. Highly recommend.

this treadmill is a beast! the only downside is the weight of the machine, because it will be a bear to move if ever that is necessary. Otherwise, it is a commercial quality treadmill at a fraction of the cost. Couldn't be happier with it!

This machine is perfect if you are looking for a light commercial machine for your home. Its the widest running surface my wife could find online, 22". It also has a huge 3.5HP motor.
