  Consumers Digest TOP rated folding treadmill!
Spirit Fitness was developed over 25 yrs. ago. They have always been known for making high end residential equipment. They are referred to the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry of fitness equipment. The Spirit 485 just got named the #1 overall best folding treadmill by Consumer Reports and this is it's brother. A slightly shorter deck and a 3.0 CHP motor differentiate this unit from the 485. This, hands down, is the best tread in the $1500 pricepoint and offers the best warranty in the industry today.

Programs
HILL
This program follows a triangle or
pyramid type of gradual progression from approximately 10% of maximum
effort (the level that you chose before starting this program) up to a
maximum effort which lasts for 10% of the total workout time, then a
gradual regression of speed back to approximately 10% of maximum effort.
FAT BURN
This program follows a quick progression
up to the maximum speed level (default or user input level) that is
sustained for 2/3 of the workout. This program will challenge your
ability to sustain your energy output for an extended period of time.
CARDIO
This program presents a quick progression
up to near maximum speed level (default or user input level). It has
slight fluctuations up and down to allow your heart rate to elevate, and
then recover repeatedly, before beginning a quick cool down. This will
build up your heart muscle and increase blood flow and lung capacity.
STRENGTH
This program has a gradual progression of
speed up to 100% of maximum effort that is sustained for 25% of workout
duration. This will help build strength and muscular endurance in the
lower body and glutes. A brief cool down follows.
INTERVAL
This program takes you through high
levels of intensity followed by recovery periods of low intensity. This
program utilizes and develops your "Fast Twitch" muscle fibers which are
used when performing tasks that are intense and short in duration.
These deplete your oxygen level and spike your heart rate, followed by
periods of recovery and heart rate drop to replenish
oxygen. Your cardiovascular system gets programmed to use oxygen more
efficiently.
MANUAL
The Manual program works as the name implies, manually. This means that you control the workload and not the computer.
HEART RATE (2x)
Designed to help keep you within 3-5
heart beats of your target heart rate % by automatically increasing or
decreasing the incline level. Heart Rate 1 has a 60% (better for a fat
loss goal) of projected heart rate maximum default. Heart Rate 2 has an
80% (better for a cardiovascular conditioning goal) of projected heart
rate maximum default.

A lot of people ask why buy the Spirit over the Sole. Well the parent companies made Spirit and then needed to make a cheaper product for the sporting good stores.
Spirit uses steel siderails. Sole does not. Spirit offers a crazy 10 year warranty. Sole does not. Spirit uses digital sensors. Sole does not. Spirit uses better components. Sole does not. Sole spends most of their revenue on interenet marketing. Spirit spends it on making a better machine. Dyaco makes both. Spirit is a better machine and value!
Think Vizio vs.Sony. If we could get a Sony for around the same price, it really is a no brainer.
......better horsepower, steel construction, twice the warranty
and the same price! ...makes it a much better value and machine
then Sole

Spirit Fitness Treadmills
It All Starts with a Stable Mount
You can tell a lot about the quality of a product
based on where the manufacturer invests their money in the product. Do
they spend it on useless bells and whistles, or do they spend it on
parts that actually enhance the quality and performance of the product?
At Spirit Fitness, we spend our money on quality, such as cast motor
mounts. Why cast? We do not believe that a stamped steel motor mount
will give the motor the secure mount that is required for a high quality
treadmill. If the motor shifts, then the drive belt will loosen, which
will make the walking belt feel like it is slipping. Take off the motor
cover and look beneath the hood, you can learn a lot about the design of
a treadmill.
Fold Away for Extra Space
The Spirit Fitness Folding Treadmill is easy to fold
up and down for your workout. This feature gives you a full size
treadmill for working out, but then folds into a tight compact space
when not in use. Simply pull the yellow handle located on the back of
the treadmill frame and the unit will unfold. To fold up, simply pick up
the treadmill deck until it hinges at the top. You will notice that our
assisted design makes this easy and convenient.
Built to Last
We have one of the best warranties in the industry
because we have been building fitness products for over thirty years.
All of that experience gives us the understanding of what happens to
fitness products not just after two years or five years, but ten to
fifteen to twenty years. We still hear from satisfied customers who have
been using their Spirit Fitness products for decades.
We combine the highest quality components with years of engineering
experience and then assemble them in our own ISO 9001 factories
(International Organization for Standardization. Standard 9001 is a
quality management system to help ensure the factory produces quality
products).
Vote of Confidence
Specialty Fitness retailers voted in an independent
survey and awarded Spirit Fitness as the Best Selling treadmills. It is a
vote of confidence that these professionals chose the Spirit Fitness
treadmill over all other brands. You can be assured your investment will
be around for years to come.
Keep It Cool
One thing that will destroy a treadmill or any
electronic device is heat. It is critical that the drive motor,
elevation motor and electronics under a motor cover be kept cool. Our
engineers have developed an airflow system that promotes air circulation
around the motor and electronics to help keep them cool. Our motor
covers are designed with ventilation and we use large aluminum frames on
our lower electronics, which act as heat sinks to absorb excess heat.
Our XT185 and XT285 have vents on the front of the motor cover. Our XT385, XT485 and XT685
have vents on the front along with ventilation on the top of the motor
covers to promote extra air-flow. All Spirit Fitness treadmills are
designed to keep the treadmill cool and running for years.
The Spirit of Innovation
As with any product, a major key is the user
interface. Whether it is your cell phone, car, or fitness equipment, you
want to quickly be able to use it and get the information that is
important to you. We focused on this simple principle in the development
of our new consoles.
A quick press of a button and you are off on a walk or a run, or one of
the many specialized workouts. Some models even allow you to develop
your own programs. Our large, easy-to-read consoles give you constant
feedback from calories to distance to time. There are even separate
displays for heart rate and muscle activation.
Muscle Activation
It�s important to understand which muscle groups
are gaining the most benefit during your workout. On our treadmills, you
will be using your glute (bottom), hamstring (back of your thigh), quad
(thigh), calf, pec and arm muscles. The LED lights will activate in
three degrees of engagement: Green represents minimal involvement, Amber
medium involvement, and Red, full or heavy involvement. Use this quick
reference to challenge yourself during your workout.
Music & Air Conditioning
We have integrated into most of our consoles a set
of audio speakers. Simply plug in your choice of MP3 player or cell
phone (adapter cord provided) and you can enjoy your favorite music to
keep you going the extra mile. We�ve also built a swivel fan into most
of our consoles to keep you a little cooler.
Heart Rate % Profile
Heart Rate training is proven to be one of the best
ways to measure your workout. Our Heart Rate % Profile gives you a
quick reference of your % compared to maximum projected heart rate. This
is determined by your age, which you entered during the programming
phase of any of the programs. The LED lights up in Amber for 50-60%,
Green for 65% to 80%, and Red for 85%+. This is a quick reference for
you to gauge your workout.
Easy-to-use Consoles
Most of our treadmills have multiple locations to
adjust the speed and elevation. You can always adjust the speed and
elevation on the console with the quick keys or with the + and � keys on
the lower console. The speed can also to be adjusted with the + / -
button located on the right handlebar. The left handlebar allows for the
incline to be changed. There is even a button on the lower console that
allows you to disable the buttons on the handlebars. It is important
that you feel comfortable on your treadmill. Allowing you to choose how
you make the critical speed and elevation adjustments is just one of the
features you will find on Spirit Fitness Treadmills.
Fitness Within Your Grasp
All of our home treadmill consoles have easy to read,
bright blue LCD screens. The consoles and keypads are positioned so you
can easily reach them to set up your program and push start. Our
contact heart rate grips are comfortably located in the proper ergonomic
position. Our center mounted swivel fan (found on all our home
treadmills) helps keep you cool during your workout. We have also
located the water bottle / cargo holders for easy access. Put your water
in one and your MP3 / cell phone into the other so you can listen to
your favorite music.
Choosing the right piece of
exercise equipment is an important investment in your health and should
not be taken lightly. The links below will take you to detailed product
pages, which will help you learn the differences between each of the
Spirit Fitness treadmills. We are confident that whichever model you
choose, you will have a great tool towards achieving your personal
fitness goals.
