It all Starts with a Stable Mount
You can tell a lot about the quality of a product based on where the manufacturer invests their money in the product. Do they spend it on useless bells and whistles, or do they spend it on parts that actually enhance the quality and performance of the product? Spirit Fitness spend money on quality, such as cast motor mounts. Why cast? We do not believe that a stamped steel motor mount will give the motor the secure mount that is required for a high quality treadmill. If the motor shifts, then the drive belt will loosen, which will make the walking belt feel like it is slipping. Take off the motor cover and look beneath the hood, you can learn a lot about the design of a treadmill.
Fold it Away for Extra Space
The Spirit Fitness Folding Treadmill is easy to fold up and down for your work-out. This feature gives you a full size treadmill for working out, but then folds into a tight compact space when not in use. Simply pull the yellow handle located on the back of the treadmill frame and the unit will unfold. It’s design will allow you to let go and it will come to a soft landing on your floor with no need to bend over and guide it to the floor. To fold up, simply pick up the treadmill deck and lift. You will notice that our assisted design makes this easy and convenient.
Keep It Cool
One thing that will destroy a treadmill or any electronic device is heat. It is critical that the drive motor, elevation motor and electronics under a motor cover be kept cool. Our engineers have developed an airflow system that promotes air circulation around the motor and electronics to help keep them cool. Our motor covers are designed with ventilation and we use large aluminum frames on our lower electronics, which act as heat sinks to absorb excess heat. The XT185 and XT285 have vents on the front of the motor cover. Spirit XT385, XT485 and XT685 have vents on the front along with ventilation on the top of the motor covers to promote extra air-flow. All Spirit Fitness treadmills are designed to keep the treadmill cool and running for years.
Easy-to-use Consoles
Most of our treadmills have multiple locations to adjust the speed and elevation. You can always adjust the speed and elevation on the console with the quick keys or with the + and – keys on the lower console. The speed can also to be adjusted with the + / – button located on the right handlebar. The left handlebar allows for the incline to be changed. There is even a button on the lower console that allows you to disable the buttons on the handlebars. It is important that you feel comfortable on your treadmill. Allowing you to choose how you make the critical speed and elevation adjustments is just one of the features you will find on Spirit Fitness Treadmills.
Some Key Defining Features
Because the training is far more serious, the console has been substantially upgraded. It’s a tri-color LED with fine pitch dot matrix technology, as well as a long list of other variable data, and a detailed graph to keep track of the heart rate zone.
The most beautiful thing about the Spirit XT485 Treadmill, is that is has the best of every treadmill in the series before it, and then has tons of added value for a truly competitive price.
Many of the construction wonder that customers have come to expect have been left unchanged. Now that you’ve heard out take on things, let’s see what the experts saying?

Programs
Hill: This program follows a triangle or pyramid type of gradual progression from approximately 10% of maximum effort (the level that you chose before starting this program) up to a maximum effort which lasts for 10% of the total workout time, then a gradual regression of resistance back to approximately 10% of maximum effort.
Fat Burn: This program follows a quick progression up to the maximum resistance level (default or user input level) that is sustained for 2/3 of the workout. This program will challenge your ability to sustain your energy output for an extended period of time.
Cardio: This program presents a quick progression up to near maximum resistance level (default or user input level). It has slight fluctuations up and down to allow your heart rate to elevate, and then recover repeatedly, before beginning a quick cool down. This will build up your heart muscle and increase blood flow and lung capacity.
Strength: This program has a gradual progression of resistance up to 100% of maximum effort that is sustained for 25% of workout duration. This will help build strength and muscular endurance in the lower body and glutes. A brief cool down follows.
Interval: This program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by recovery periods of low intensity. This program utilizes and develops your “Fast Twitch” muscle fibers which are used when performing tasks that are intense and short in duration. These deplete your oxygen level and spike your heart rate, followed by periods of recovery and heart rate drop to replenish oxygen. Your cardiovascular system gets programmed to use oxygen more efficiently.
Calorie: This program follows a quick progression up to the maximum speed level (default or user input level) that is sustained for 2/3 of the workout. This program will challenge your ability to sustain your energy output for an extended period of time.
Fusion: This program takes you through high levels of cardio & strength intensity followed by recovery periods of low intensity. This program utilizes and develops your “Fast Twitch” muscle fibers which are used when performing tasks that are intense and short in duration. These deplete your oxygen level and spike your heart rate, followed by periods of recovery and heart rate drop to replenish oxygen. Your cardiovascular system gets programmed to use oxygen more efficiently.
Manual: The Manual program works as the name implies, manually. This means that you control the workload and not the computer.
User (2X): Two people can store personal information and design a custom program that can be saved for future use. You decide what the resistance will be for each segment of the program.
Heart Rate (2x): Designed to help keep you within 3-5 heart beats of your target heart rate % by automatically increasing or decreasing the resistance level. Heart Rate 1 has a 60% (better for a fat loss goal) of projected heart rate maximum default. Heart Rate 2 has an 80% (better for a cardiovascular conditioning goal) of projected heart rate maximum default.

It all Starts with a Stable Mount
You can tell a lot about the quality of a product based on where the manufacturer invests their money in the product. Do they spend it on useless bells and whistles, or do they spend it on parts that actually enhance the quality and performance of the product? Spirit Fitness spend money on quality, such as cast motor mounts. Why cast? We do not believe that a stamped steel motor mount will give the motor the secure mount that is required for a high quality treadmill. If the motor shifts, then the drive belt will loosen, which will make the walking belt feel like it is slipping. Take off the motor cover and look beneath the hood, you can learn a lot about the design of a treadmill.
Fold it Away for Extra Space
The Spirit Fitness Folding Treadmill is easy to fold up and down for your work-out. This feature gives you a full size treadmill for working out, but then folds into a tight compact space when not in use. Simply pull the yellow handle located on the back of the treadmill frame and the unit will unfold. It’s design will allow you to let go and it will come to a soft landing on your floor with no need to bend over and guide it to the floor. To fold up, simply pick up the treadmill deck and lift. You will notice that our assisted design makes this easy and convenient.
Keep It Cool
One thing that will destroy a treadmill or any electronic device is heat. It is critical that the drive motor, elevation motor and electronics under a motor cover be kept cool. Our engineers have developed an airflow system that promotes air circulation around the motor and electronics to help keep them cool. Our motor covers are designed with ventilation and we use large aluminum frames on our lower electronics, which act as heat sinks to absorb excess heat. The XT185 and XT285 have vents on the front of the motor cover. Spirit XT385, XT485 and XT685 have vents on the front along with ventilation on the top of the motor covers to promote extra air-flow. All Spirit Fitness treadmills are designed to keep the treadmill cool and running for years.
Easy-to-use Consoles
Most of our treadmills have multiple locations to adjust the speed and elevation. You can always adjust the speed and elevation on the console with the quick keys or with the + and – keys on the lower console. The speed can also to be adjusted with the + / – button located on the right handlebar. The left handlebar allows for the incline to be changed. There is even a button on the lower console that allows you to disable the buttons on the handlebars. It is important that you feel comfortable on your treadmill. Allowing you to choose how you make the critical speed and elevation adjustments is just one of the features you will find on Spirit Fitness Treadmills.
Some Key Defining Features
Because the training is far more serious, the console has been substantially upgraded. It’s a tri-color LED with fine pitch dot matrix technology, as well as a long list of other variable data, and a detailed graph to keep track of the heart rate zone.
The most beautiful thing about the Spirit XT485 Treadmill, is that is has the best of every treadmill in the series before it, and then has tons of added value for a truly competitive price.
Many of the construction wonder that customers have come to expect have been left unchanged. Now that you’ve heard out take on things, let’s see what the experts saying?
“Great package. Overall, it is a good alternative at a competitive price. With the economy in the state that it is in, you should be able to get your Spirit dealer to work with you on price and if you can get this for a couple hundred off, you have a winner.”
