Great Products, Poor UX/UI Design Loved the fitness bike I was able to find. The details, the feedback, and the reputation that Sole has is great! I've had one of their ellipticals for 3 years now and it's a key part of my routine. However, the website experience left a lot to be desired. I had pop-ups every time I added items to the cart. It was frustrating to be "sold" additional items when I just wanted to purchase a few items. In the end, I opted just for the stationary bike because I was so frustrated with the website experience.

Unless you're in Strong Man Competitions...opt out Sole Fitness uses a freight company to deliver their equipment to their customers. Unless you have your own forklift or a moving company, don't plan on getting these 400 lb. treadmills into your home without assistance. From there, if it's going upstairs or downstairs, good luck. This treadmill was dropped off at my garage door, on the opposite side of the front door where the treadmill would be coming inside. It was left on a pallet in my driveway without any assistance from Sole or the freight company. Upon returning the treadmill, you have to get the thing back outside on your own and hope it doesn't snow or rain before the freight company picks it up again.

Limited 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…

Excellent quality. I bought a Sole Fitness R92 recumbent exercise bike. It is very sturdily built, excellent quality, much better than a Schwinn 230 I'd previously purchased and returned after one day. Assembly is a bit tedious, but straight forward with very clear instructions. The control panel is easy to understand, much better than the Schwinn. Seat is comfortable. Sole Fitness is about the only company were you can even buy a high quality exercise bike right now. The web site says it won't ship for 30 days, and that's what I experienced; it did ship shortly after 30 days.

Terrible customer services Terrible customer services. Prior to writing this I read some reviews on Sole customer service. Ten to one harrable frustrating customer service. Reviews suggested not doing business with these folks if you can avoid them. Some of us already have a sole 300 pound junk bolder in our living room that doesn't work. I will not enter my number. These folks are so bad I'm afraid of retaliation!?!
