Smooth 5.45 Folding Treadmill
Health club sturdiness at a home budget treadmill price
It’s hard to believe that the Smooth 5.45 treadmill is budget priced and once you take a quick look at its features you’ll agree that this is one heck of a treadmill and an exceptional deal.
As its name implies, the 5.45 folds up and out of the way when not in use. However, at 210 pounds this treadmill is both sturdy and ultra-quiet. With its gas shock assist lift closing this treadmill is easy and with its foot operated lever and soft drop you no longer have to wrestle with your treadmill while lowering it. 
The Smooth 5.45 Treadmill is raring to go with a quiet, yet powerful 2.5 HP motor. Optical sensors make sure that your walk or run is always smooth and jerk free. This is another plus that most budget treadmills don’t have. And to add to the life of the motor your treadmill has dual motor fans which help keep the motor cool.
With the patented shock absorption system you’ll enjoy less stress on your knees, ankles, hips and back compared to road running. Since the entire running deck is suspended you’ll receive this benefit from beginning to end.
Speaking of benefits, with the large variety of pre-programed workouts and many intensity levels you’ll always be pushing your body to go to the next level. No workout boredom here.
By choosing a different program every few days you’ll avoid the dreaded weight loss plateau.
There is even a heart rate control program so that you can make sure that you stay in your targeted heart rate zone.
Although, the Smooth 5.45 treadmill has many more features, I will end this review now and let you go to the Smooth Fitness site and watch the video which will both describe and show you more about what to expect when you get this baby home.
