Sole Fitness F80 Folding Treadmill Review Summary

As treadmill reviews go, the Sole Fitness F80 gets stellar reviews from our Viewpoints members. If you’re worried about longevity in a treadmill, our health conscious reviewers feel that the thirty year warranty is “fantastic”. Worried about the Sole Fitness F80 taking up too much room? “Its size and compatibility allows for placement virtually anywhere in the home” says one reviewer. As far as negatives, the $1500 price tag is a bit steep, but our reviewers say it’s worth it. Also, at roughly 250 pounds, the Sole Fitness F80 is not exactly feather light.

The basics:


The F80 weighs 250 pounds which is a bit heavier than the average treadmill. This one folds making it fantastic for people with small spaces.

It will cost you about $1,500. This isn’t an inexpensive treadmill. You can buy some for so much less but they may not be made so well.

The maximum...

I really like my Solo F80 Treadmill. I had surgery the gastric sleeve. My husband got me this treadmill. So far with my surgery and my treadmill I have lost 80 pounds and still counting in less than a year. My treadmill has fans to keep me cool. I can incline and speed uo or slow down. I have a waist strap that measures my pulse rate and heart rate. I also have a mp3 hookup so I can listen to up beat music to walk by. I have a drink holder as well I place my water in there before I get started. When I first started I could only walk 5 minutes. Now I am up to 35 minutes and still counting. I feel...

Wonderful exercise tool.  I did much research about treadmills prior to purchasing this one.  It had one of the best warranties around and a good track record of their products.

This unit is fairly compact and has all the bells and whistles you need to either walk casually or seriously run.

The deck is a good size and the incline and decline work well with little power struggle.  The unit is fairly quiet compared to other models of the same caliper.

For the price this unit is one of the best products you can buy.  Sole stands by their equipment and the service department is wonderful to answer...

     My son purchased the F80, and it ran for 10 seconds before quitting. He had a service tech to work on it and order parts two times, It is still not working 2 months later. A call to Sole corporate to replace it with white glove delivery was not to be. After several months of not getting what he paid for , this should have been the least Sole could do, they wanted 140 dollars extra to deliver and set up the replacement which still has not been delivered. He purchased the unit on my recommendation. I am not satisfied with the response of Sole and will not recommend this product to anyone... review »

I purchased the treadmill while pregnant and used it to walk on. Now that I've delivered, I run on the treadmill.  It is easy on the knees and very easy to use. I haven't read the manual yet to figure out all the different programs, but it is nice to know there are many different options.  The deck size is great!  Plenty big.  For not having read the manual, it's still easy enough to use.  I haven't folded it up yet, so I don't know if that is easy.  But it's still a nice option to have.  Overall, I recommend this treadmill.

We bought this at Dicks and put it together only it didnt work.  It's super heavy and took 2 people to get it into the basement and that was before it was put together.  Put it together onkly to have it not work.  Getting ahold of service with Sole was a joke.  It took 2 weeks, finally they mailed us a new part and sent someone (a local sub-contractor who was awesome) to come to the house to get it up and running.  Working great and is very quiet which is nice since its under the bedroom and I use it early a.m.

I did some research on the internet before I bought this treadmill. It was recommended by the Treadmill Doctor website. They repair and review treadmills. It has every feature you would need and no extra complicated features. It has quick buttons on the hand grips for increasing the speed and incline. There are two fans at the top to keep you cool. It has different settings for different types of workouts. There is a safety feature that is a magnet that clips to the user and attaches to the display. If disengaded the treadmill stops.

Although the price is on the higher end, this product is worth it. It provides convenience in the home and is much better than paying for annual gym membership as I had done in the past. Its size and compactability allows for placement virtually anwhere in the home: a living room, basement, and maybe even bedroom. I would recommend this product for the casual or heavy jogger looking for a quality treadmill!

This is a very good treadmill. I just want to commit on ease of using this treadmill. Folds easily. Was hard to put together I had to get help. After that its all good. I have used others and usually they hurt my ankles. I have an anchor in one. The vibrating is minimal and I actually walk longer with this one. I have tried quite a few and the vibrating is an issue with me. This one is the best.

The treadmill works as expected and operates as described. The programable portion of the work out sessions are not easy to set up and are not explained well on how to move between the different sessions. Causes frustration for my wife.

The unit is very heavy which for operation is good. Heavy to fold up and even more difficult to manuver around if needed.

Ive owned 3 treadmills.  Yes, I know.  I used them to hang clothes on most of the time.  I now have the F80 treadmill and it folds up.   My husband is glad that I cant use it for a clothes hanger.  I like to walk for exercise so I like to keep one to use when the weather is not cooperating.  Like I said, if you use it, it will work.

I actually have the sole s77, mine doesn't fold.  Just writing that this is a superior product.  We have three family members who currently use it.  Great motor, and this is a large tread mill, you can easily run on it too!  The water holders, stereo speakers and fan are the icing on the cake.

I like the way this treadmill looks.  It seems to have the aminities such as; time, calories, miles walked.  It saves space because it folds up; perfect for small homes and tight spaces.  Just fold out for use and fold up when done.  Nice to be able to put away when company comes.
