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.

GBUnless 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.

GBGood product, prompt delivery and easy assembly Got a good deal on an elliptical from their website. Site explained before checkout that delivery may take up to 2 months due to Covid/inventory (we got ours delivered to doorstep in about 3 weeks). Assembly has been pretty easy so far - the manual had a misprint and I called them to ask about it. Got a quick answer from their maintenance / parts support people

GBGreat 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.

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…
