Overview

Sole Fitness has spent two decades building sturdy, no-nonsense treadmills and ellipticals favored by hotels and home gyms. Its calling card is hardware value: heavy-gauge frames, strong warranties, and screens that run streaming apps on your existing accounts rather than locking content behind a monthly membership.

Is it worth it?

Sole is worth it for buyers who want commercial-grade hardware and refuse to pay a monthly subscription — you get the deck, motor, and warranty without the recurring tax. Those who want a polished class ecosystem will prefer Peloton or iFit.
