Smooth 8.35 Folding Treadmill Review

The NEW Smooth 8.35 is the largest and best-equipped model of Smooth’s folding treadmills. The 8.35 handles users up to 400 lbs. and provides 15 incline levels and a total of 31 programmed workouts. With speeds up to 12 mph, the 8.35 can easily satisfy everyone up to serious runners.
Although the 8.35 has a large 20” x 62” running surface, the Smooth-Drop folding frame and built-in transport wheels make it easy to store. The SmoothDrop feature uses a gas-assisted mechanism to make lowering the deck easy.

Walkers, joggers and runners will all enjoy being able to vary workouts with the 31 programmed workouts, including a manual program, 8 incline programs that automatically adjust the incline level, 8 speed programs that automatically change the speed during your workout, and 5 speed & incline programs that adjust both speed and incline level. The 8.35 also has 4 heart rate control programs that automatically adjust the speed and incline to maintain your target heart rate, and a fitness test program that helps you track your fitness progress.

And the Smooth Fitness 8.35 incorporates the mySMOOTH virtual fitness trainer that tracks your workouts and fitness level to help you customize your workouts and set goals. mySMOOTH comes with its own USB stick to keep all your fitness data in one handy place.
Joggers and runners will especially appreciate the proprietary cushioning system that dramatically softens impacts on your ankle, knee and hip joints, so you can extend your workout times. For those more intense workouts, the 8.35 features a built-in cooling fan, and water bottle holder. Speed and incline controls on the hand rails make it easy and safe to adjust your workout settings without having to reach for the console.

Listen to your favorite music, podcasts, or audiobooks with the MP3 compatible sound system with built-in speakers.

All in all, then, the 8.35 is a full-featured, commercial-grade treadmill with all the convenience of a foldup model. Smooth’s lifetime warranty on the frame and motor, 7-year parts warranty, and 2-year labor warranty mean you can buy with complete peace of mind.

The Smooth 8.35 folding treadmill retails for $3,598, but is available direct from Smooth Fitness for $1,799, thanks to Smooth’s direct-to-consumer business model.

"I really needed a folding treadmill that offered all the features of the higher end non-folding units."

"The Smooth 8.35 is a well-built treadmill. At first I was concerned that it may not have the quality I’d come to expect from the treadmills at my local gym. I have some joint problems, so I was happy to see that the cushioning system was very comfortable and did not interfere with my stride. "

"I had been in the market for a new treadmill for quite a while. I am a competitive runner and my family enjoys running as well. We have a newborn so the treadmill had to be very quiet. I was told by a few friends that Smooth Fitness may be a great option for our needs. I did some research and decided on the 8.35. This treadmill has fit our needs very well. It is silent! I am amazed at how quiet and “smooth” it is."

"I did some research into other manufacturers but the 8.35 really seemed to meet our needs the best. We have very limited space in our home and we required a high quality folding treadmill. The 8.35 is exactly that. It is very quiet and the pre-programmed workouts are quite good."
