First off, let me tell you that Yowza is selling the Smyrna treadmill for a 62% saving, which means you can buy this model for $1400. What does this mean? It means you can purchase the Smyrna that we highly recommend for a decent price, which makes this treadmill one of the best treadmills in the mid price range. Here is why Smyrna is worthy of your consideration.

Those who can benefit from this unit are walkers, joggers and runners. Still, the running surface is averagely large, so really tall users won’t be too satisfied on this treadmill.

The motor is powerful enough to sustain really challenging workouts you may enroll onto. You can raise the speed as much as you like and the incline as high as you desire, the motor will work smoothly all the way. And also quietly, which is always a plus.

We particularly like the console and here is why. It has a Quick Start buttons, which is good. It also has single-touch adjustments, which is even better. On top of it all, it has quick speed and incline control buttons, which is a godsend during hardcore workouts.

The running surface has a Floating Deck system. It’s not a magic deck, but it is an efficient way to keep your ankles, knees, hips and back safe during the toughest of workouts.

The workout range is quite generous. Either cardio, weight loss, interval or other demanding workouts you may think of, you may be quite satisfied with what Smyrna is offering. At least, we are.

You get the cooling fan, the option to plug in your iPod and a nice looking console.

The wireless chest strap is always an eye-catcher. Those who are into Heart Rate Control programs can really expand their workouts with this hands free heart rate reader.

The warranty is quite amazing, given the purchase price.
And last but not least, up to 3 users can create their own workout profiles and customize their workouts.

By now, we haven’t noticed and bug with Smyrna. It seems to flow really well.
