Weight = Stability - The treadmill weight is very important to the overall stability of the machine. The Smooth 9.35HR weighs in at a hefty 40 lbs. over the Life Fitness T3.
Deck Thickness - The Smooth 9.35HR comes with a 1" thick phenolic laminate deck. This is the same thickness used in commercial treadmills. Phenolic helps keep deck and belt lubricated. This provides extended-wear, super quite operation and years of dependable service.
Larger rollers provide for less friction and longer life - Large rollers provide a smooth walking/running experience and extend the life of the treadbelt. There is no substitute for size, the larger the better. That's why most commercial treadmills are equipped with oversized rollers. The Smooth 7.1 comes with commercial grade 2.5" rollers.
Factory Direct Sales - The Smooth 9.35HR is sold factory direct and only on the Internet. Life Fitness sells their T3 treadmills through local dealers and retail outlets. All purchases are subject to applicable local taxes.
Shipping Included - The prices for all of the Smooth Treadmills includes shipping to your home.
