The Smooth 7.6 HR Pro Treadmill Gets a “Thumbs Up” in All Areas

For a home gym model the Smooth 7.6 HR Pro treadmill holds up even under the most punishing runner/owner. This new machine for 2008 comes with a huge motor that is amazingly quiet and a long running deck that can accommodate big men with long strides.

The Machine

(This model has been discontinued)

You can keep an eye on the intensity of your workout by wearing the wireless heart rate monitor which automatically adjusts the speed to keep you in the target zone. Without the chest strap on, you can still monitor your pulse by grabbing the sensor on the handgrip. The other features and specs on the Smooth 7.6 HR Pro treadmill include:

Smooth 7.6 HR Pro Treadmill
  • 3.0 HP Continuous Duty Motor
  • 0.5-12 mph speed
  • 0-15% incline
  • 20" x 60" treadbelt
  • 8 workout programs
  • 9 storable user profiles
  • Hand grip pulse heart rate monitor
  • Heart rate control
  • Wireless heart rate sensor
  • 350 lbs. max. user weight
  • Floor level adjustment
  • 2 water bottle holders
  • Power folding mechanism
  • Lifetime warranty on frame and motor; 3 year parts and 1 year of in-home service

The Buzz

Experts tell you that motors matter. Get the biggest CHP motor you can afford with at least a 10-year warranty. A big engine under the hood and a precision balanced flywheel is what gives Smooth treadmills their quiet stability. With these important attributes -- the motor and stability -- taken care of, Smooth Fitness then worked on improving the cushioned deck. Like other top manufacturers such as Landice and True, Smooth installs a triple-laminated phenolic resin coating on the decks which offers twice the life-span over cheap models. For the use of these and other quality components, the Smooth 7.6 HR Pro treadmill gets a “thumbs up” in all areas.

Smooth 7.6 Treadmill Folded Customers like the fact that they can store fitness data for multiple users in the console so you don’t have to punch in your age, gender, weight, and target heart rate every session. Owners of the Smooth 7.6 HR Pro also note that they like the power folding system, the patented impact absorption system which keeps the strain off the joints, and the overall stability of the treadmill is first rate. With the solid feel of a light commercial unit, the Smooth 7.6 treadmill is a good fitness investment for a multi-user household.

What We Say

The wireless HRC is much more accurate than handgrip pulse monitors and we wish more people would seek out this important feature in treadmills. The chest belt, which sends a wireless signal to the console, allows interaction with the treadmill for optimum training. For weight loss, race training, or general fitness, heart rate control is one benefit you shouldn’t overlook. Though the Smooth 7.6 HR Pro carries an MSRP of $2847, we’ve found this treadmill for sale online at around $1999. We recommend the Smooth 7.6 HR Pro treadmill and feel it offers great value when purchased for under $2000.
