Awful 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.

We had to call Sole 5 times to… We had to call Sole 5 times to straighten out this order after Sole initially "Declined" the order despite Affirm having accepted the loan request. Even though the Sales Dept Personnel promised call backs they NEVER called us back to give us status updates. We finally received an email from Affirm that Sole had accepted the order nearly a week later.

Horrible 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.

On 07/04/23 I purchased the F80… On 07/04/23 I purchased the F80 Treadmill from Sole. I paid for assembly and for a five-year warranty. True to the pattern of bad business documented in these reviews, Sole weaseled their way out of my five-year warranty. The F80 Treadmill started to make loud screeching sounds after only 3 months of use. The replacement parts were broken. After three attempts the technician seemed to fix the treadmill. But a few months later the same problem recurred. This time the technician could not fix the loud screeching. A third time they made the screeching louder by the time they left. The fourth time, they returned just to photograph my room to pretend I was the one to blame for the treadmill's failure. They blamed my cat for its urine on the machine. Yet the machine didn't sound bad after the cat pee, it sounded worse and worse after the technician visits. Sole technicians are not held accountable for their incompetence; the pattern shown in these complaints is that Sole blames the customer. Sole machines are flimsy, low quality but priced high. The Sole company is a bunch of snake oil salesmen who traffic in pretense and fraud with the low quality machines and incompetent technical service.

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…
