GBHorrible Support on New Sole F80 treadmill… I purchased a new Sole F80 treadmill with white glove delivery and setup. After geeting the treadmill setup and installed, it was perfect. However, I didnt realize the white glove installers had installed the main display screen crooked. I immediately called Sole Fitness and it's affiliated warranty company to see how Sole would take care of this improperly installed display screen, considering the treadmill was brand new. This is where I have my issue. I was advised, "I would have to fix it myself." I said, "WHAT!?" I expressed that I paid $350 for set up and I would now have fix an improperly setup treadmill that I didn't set up. You can see where my dismay and anger is from. This treadmill is brand new, not even a week old and never used yet. At this time, out of principle, Im about to return this Sole F80 treadmill for a complete refund. The fact that I was told to handle the repair is an insult, and far from what I expected from deciding to go with a Sole treadmill. So while I'm quite sure the treadmill is solid, beware the lousy inconsiderate after support as well as the poorly done initial setup, which is not worth $350. I hope I'm contacted by Sole as this is an embarrassing situation for them Sincerely, Chris C.

GBAwful Customer Service Purchased a Sole Elliptical E25 from a Sporting Goods store and discovered the product was defective upon setting it up, unusable. Called Sole the same day and was promised prompt service. Now 2 weeks later and I have heard nothing back and I am unable to to reach anyone by either phone or email. Incredibly unhappy to have a useless expensive piece of fitness equipment that I cannot even return, due to Soles requirement for dealing directly with them.

GBThis is what you get if you order… This is what you get if you order replacement parts from sole and they will only send you a label through the mail for the return and then they have to get the part back before the refund then you have to order a new one and try again. Well I guess you can’t put photos in here. The new screen I ordered can all dusty and looked like someone throw it sliding across a parking lot on it face.

GBLimited Functionality with workout apps I have a Sole F80 treadmill (2021 I believe) and it functions fine, but Sole limits the bluetooth functionality so that it will not work with third-party fitness apps to control treadmill incline and speed, which means that you are stuck with their very small built-in workout menu. You can still adjust speed and incline manually, but you will lose so much functionality to use different workout programs of your choice. Asked about a firmware upgrade, SOLE told me sorry, no plans to do anything about that. Basically we have your money, see ya sucker…

GBAwful Customer Service We bought the F80 treadmill and when we unpacked it to assemble, realized that it had 2 left lower handlebar covers instead of 1 right and 1 left. Sole Fitness customer service agents are among the most rude that I've ever dealt with. The latest one today is named Abby who was belligerent, talked over me and then pretended that she could not hear me.
