Click To Buy The Smooth 5.45 Folding Treadmill

Hello Readers,

I’ve been telling myself for about a year now that I’m going to write a treadmill review blog. I have finally come to the point where the rubber meets the road. I’ve decided to start with the Smooth Fitness 545 Treadmill. There are two really good reasons to buy this treadmill now. First, it’s on sale. A little known fact to those outside of the fitness industry is that treadmill and elliptical sales fall to almost zero from late spring to summer because everyone does things outside like swim or hike. That makes right now an ideal time to get a good deal on a treadmill! Treadmill retailers are so desperate for sales right now they’re willing to offer price breaks you’ll never see during the winter just to close a deal. Right now Smooth Fitness is offering an extra $100 on the Smooth 545 Treadmill, an offer that isn’t likely to last so I strongly suggest you do the smart thing and at least check out it. I’ll even put a link for you right here so you don’t have to bother searching for it.

The second reason why you should buy this treadmill is because it’s the best treadmill you’re going to find in the $1000 price range. I’ve run on this treadmill before and it feels very spacious. The actual running area is 20″ x 55″ inches, which is pretty average for this price range, but it doesn’t have any extra moving parts you really don’t need like swinging arms or a console that juts out over the treadmill belt like some less well thought out treadmills do. The console is large. It kind of feels like you have your own starship and command center with all the buttons and displays. The console can be overwhelming at first due to it’s large size, but it starts to feel natural a few minutes in to your first routine.

I don’t really like talking about horsepower, but a well written Smooth 545 Treadmill Review would mention that this treadmill has a 2.5 HP motor. Judging a treadmill based on horsepower can be a trap sometimes. There are so many word games played with horsepower in the treadmill industry these days it is really hard for the layperson to sort it all out. I personally judge a treadmills motor by two things, my personal experience with a particular treadmill and a treadmill motor’s warranty. Smooth Fitness is one of the more reputable treadmill manufacturers out there, and Smooth’s products have stood the test of time for many years now, nor have I received any complaints about this treadmill from any of the customers I have met in the field. So, as far as I’m concerned, the motor itself is very reliable. As far as the warranty is concerned, the Smooth 545 Treadmill’s motor is covered for life. Yes, I said life. I can’t say that about too many other treadmills. That means Smooth Fitness is willing to back the longevity of the motor with their own pocketbook. If I bought this treadmill I would sleep a little bit easier knowing my $1000 treadmill was covered for life!

Here comes my final review. The place where I tell you what I think of this treadmill overall. Overall, this is an excellent machine. I ran on this treadmill a couple weeks ago, a friend of mine actually bought one. (Without consulting me first, fortunately he made a good decision.) It was very comfortable and felt extremely spacious.  The normal retail price is about a $1000 but the summer months are tough for treadmill sales, so Smooth Fitness is giving you a hundred bucks off right now. This might not be the case in a couple weeks when business starts to seriously pick up. If you’re serious about buying a treadmill, I strongly advise you make a purchase now when you have a lot more bargaining power.
