The Smooth® 6.25e treadmill has a heritage of innovation and proven reliability. You\'ll find distinctive attributes rarely found on other folding treadmills.

• Dual-Stage, Soft Drop Folding - A treadmill should\'t require hoisting and heaving to fold. With the Smooth® 6.25's gas shock-assist lift you can gently tilt the deck into position and wheel it away for storage. Then softly drop it back into place and it\'s ready for use.
• Patented Swing Arm™ Suspension System The patented suspension running deck is proven to lessen the impact of walking and running. The treadmill\'s shock-absorbing Swing Arm™ technology is just like health club treadmills with smooth, shake-free running.
• Ultra-Quiet - Industry pros and customers alike rave about how quiet the Smooth® 6.25e is. A running treadmill is often noisy, but with its Whisper Weave Belt, you\'ll agree this is one of the quietest treadmills on the market.
• Patented Motion Control™ you can control the speed of your treadmill by waving or holding your hand over the side rails.
• Heart Rate Control With Optional Chest Strap - Automatically adjust the intensity of your workouts to reach your optimal fat burning zone. This "hands free" optional heart rate control helps you get results faster.
• Improved LED Console - Intuitive, interactive LED console lets you monitor your speed, distance, calories, time and pulse simultaneously

Eight Challenging Programs

You\'ll stay motivated about reaching or maintaining your fitness goals with eight preset programs to choose from.

P1: Target Time - Once the user selects this program they are prompted to enter the amount of time they desire to run/jog/walk. Once you start the treadmill will count down the time specified. The user manually adjusts speed and inclines during the workout. The speed will start from 3.0 km/h and the incline will start from level 0. Distance and calories will count up from 0 and the time will count down from the target time.

P2: Target Distance - Once the user selects this program they are prompted to enter the total distance the program will run. The user then starts the treadmill and the treadmill will count down the distance from the amount specified. The user manually adjusts speed and inclines during the workout. The speed will start from 3.0 km/h and the incline will start from level 0. Time and calories will count up from 0 and the distance will count down from the target distance.

P3: Target Calories - Once the user selects the target calories program they are prompted to enter the amount of calories they wish to burn during the workout. Once you start the treadmill will count down the calories specified to burn. The user manually adjusts speed and inclines during the workout. The speed will start from 3.0 km/h and the incline will start from level 0. Distance and times will count up from 0 and the calories will count down from the target.

P4: Interval Incline - The intervals allow you to pump up the heart then catch your breath. Choose a workout level from 1 thru 12. The higher the level, the higher the incline levels during the workout. The Time LCD shows a preset workout time of 24 minutes, which can be adjusted higher or lower in four-minute segments. Incline is changed automatically every two minutes during the workout.

P5: Interval Speed - Just like the Interval Incline program, only you optimize your workout through a variation of speed.

P6: Weight Loss - This program combines variations in both the speed and incline to provide the maximum results in weight loss and calories burned. The user chooses their workout level from 1 thru 12. The higher the level the more intense the workout is. The Time LCD shows a pre-set workout time of 24 minutes; which can be adjusted higher or lower in five minute segments. Both speed and incline will change during the workout; the minimum speed/incline segments last two minutes, and the maximum speed/incline segments last three minutes. For example: Level 1 Minimum speed 2.5 km/h Minimum incline Level-0, Maximum speed 4 km/h Maximum incline Level-3; Level 12 Minimum speed 6 km/h, Maximum speed 8 km/h Maximum incline Level-15.

P7: 5K Self-Learning/ Competition - The Distance LED will show 5 (km). For new users, there is a preset speed (3.2km/h) and incline level program in the computer. You can change the speed and incline levels during your workout. The Distance will count down to zero and then stop.

P8: Heart Rate Control Program - This program consists of a Warm-up, Main Program and Cool Down. The treadmill determines a preset maximum target heart rate based upon your sex, height, weight and age, or you can adjust it to whatever maximum target workout rate you want. (Or you can adjust settings according to your needs and physical condition) Prior to starting your excercise routine you should consult a physician.

Once you start, the program takes you through a mild warm-up routine, through a powerful workout and through a cool-down phase for a complete cardio program.

Customer Testimonials

Smooth lived up to their name. The local shipping agent made a mess of things, turning up without prior arrangements and then expected me to man handle 100 Kg off a flat bed at shoulder height. No thanks. Smooth resolved issues for me without hassle. As for the 6.25 treadmill, it’s worth paying the extra. Sure you can get cheaper machines around the £600-800 mark, but having tried various bits of kit, from the extreme budget end to the 4 K plus machines, and now having used the 6.25, the other’s save the top end machines, are no comparison. Only downside was that I was not able to try the 6.25 before purchase, but following loads of web research given the ratings they get as one of the best machines available I decided to take the gamble and fork out the extra cash. I think it was worth it. I found the 6.25 to perform and feel as good as any machine in a commercial gym or those costing around 4K. Smooth sales give better value, and if you can get your hands on the 6.25 below 1K, as I did, it’s a good buy.

Its been a week now that my Smooth 6.25e arrived. I have to say it is quite a nice piece of equipment for the price. Fortunately since I live in England the courier actually deliverd the item to a room of my choice on the ground floor which made up for the fact that I had to wait several hours. I am sure I will get many hours of use out of it.
