Home Fitness & Body-Positivity: New SOLE Treadmill Is Designed For Heavy Users

Oct 17, 2024

For heavier users, it can be hard to find fitness equipment that’s safe and comfortable to use; SOLE Fitness is working to change that.

According to At Home Fitness, over 60 million Americans now own a treadmill—a figure that reflects a broader shift towards home-based workouts, as more individuals opt for the convenience of exercising in their own space.

While treadmills are popular for cardio workouts, many standard models are not specifically engineered to accommodate users with higher body weights. With the F85 treadmill, SOLE Fitness aims to fill this gap in the market; thanks to its folding design, it is also suitable for use even in smaller apartments.

Inclusivity in fitness

Diet culture is so 2000 and late. Healthy diet, yes; almond mom… er, let’s leave that in the past. In the last decade or so, we have witnessed the body-positivity movement transform fashion, entertainment, and more. 

And, the body-positivity movement has also made the fitness industry more inclusive—with products now specifically being designed to accommodate users of all body shapes and fitness abilities.

Designed for heavy runners

For example, the SOLE F85 has a Z-shaped frame design so it can now support users up to 375 pounds—significantly above standard treadmill models, which are often in the 250-pound range.

SOLE Fitness' F85 also has a wide running belt—22 inches wide, with 2.75-inch rollers—which extends the effectiveness of the motor to provide a smoother, more reliable running experience—even for heavier users.

"Our F85 treadmill incorporates all the specs of the F80—and this year, we also introduced our new Z-shaped frame and our highest horsepower motor."

Instructor-led classes and entertainment options

Getting started and building a workout routine can be hard—regardless of whether you’re starting as an overweight individual or someone who’s just looking to build some muscle. 

So it’s important to have some structure—and entertainment. 

With F85, users have access to Wi-Fi and a 15.6-inch touchscreen display, which comes preloaded with seven popular apps, including YouTube and Netflix. 10 pre-programmed and 12 user-defined workouts are also included, along with free access to the SOLE+ fitness app.
