Fitness Equipment Maker Packs Machine with High-End Features for Multiple Users

King of Prussia, Pa., March 3, 2008 — Smooth Fitness, the largest online retailer of home fitness equipment, has announced the launch of the Smooth 6.17 Treadmill, which comes with a wide variety of features including a sophisticated LCD screen and a sleek European design.

“We are thrilled to bring the Smooth 6.17 directly to consumers and provide them with unique luxury features not typically found in home fitness equipment at this price point,” said Joe Alter, President and CEO of Smooth Fitness. “The first thing users will notice on the 6.17 is the European styling and blue LCD console, but they will quickly find out this treadmill is packed with lots of other useful features.”

The scratch-resistant console is equipped with an LCD screen and highly sensitive buttons, making adjusting the speed or inclines a breeze – even during an all-out sprint. The gas shock-assist lift allows for effortless storage, and industry experts have raved over the Whisper Weave t readbelt, which ensures that the Smooth 6.17 is among the quietest treadmills on the market.

In addition to its sleek design, the Smooth 6.17 offers heart rate control, 15 incline levels, speed ranges from .5 to 10 mph, and storage for up to nine user profiles, perfect for households with multiple users. The patented Swing Arm shock absorption system is proven to reduce the impact on joints, making even the machine’s most challenging programs comfortable.

“Everyone from casual fitness enthusiasts to serious athletes will be impressed,” added Alter. “The styling and performance on the 6.17 makes it one of the most value-packed treadmills we’ve ever offered, and continues our role of being a trend setter in the industry.”
