The T9700 Series is built specifically for the Corporate market, which includes lodging, multi-housing, corporate wellness, senior living, and municipalities. These markets need products that are able to withstand many hours of use. The T9700S uses a powerful 3.0 hp continuous-duty motor and a club-rated motor controller. It comes with an extra-heavy gauge steel frame, a reversible deck that can be flipped to double the treadmill's life, an extra-large 20" x 60" running surface, a commercial grade deck, and a Cool-Weave™ belt that produces less friction, making the treadmill more efficient and reliable. The Simple console has been designed for ease of use. Just press "Start," and go. Speed and Elevation Quick Keys, a motivational alphanumeric display, and contact heart rate are other features that make the T9700S so simple to use.
