The Yowza Smyrna Running Treadmill is one of the best selling Yowza exercise products in the market. It has many excellent features and is in the upper middle range of Yowza's product line with a manufacturer's suggested retail price at $1,999.00. However, it is available for $1,399.00 on their website. The unit is built on Yowza's patented "Transformer" frame and has an outstanding warranty with 5 years for parts; 2 years for in home labor and a lifetime guarantee for their frame and drive system. Additional warranty time is available for three, four, and five year extensions.

Here are some of the major specs: the speed range is 0.5 to 11 mph (0.8 to 18 kph), 0 to 12% grade incline, 20" X 60" tread belt, 300 lbs maximum user weight, (although; the YouTube video states a 350 lb limit), 79" Length x 34" Width x 54" Height, 254 lbs unit weight, (288 lbs shipping weight), non-folding, 2 water bottle holders, a three speed fan, a dock for iPod plug in, HiFi speakers, and a Polar heart rate receiver. The large blue backlit LCD monitor display features nine memory slots that record your age, weight and fitness level. There are fifteen programs that include adjustable options for intensity, time, distance, speed, weight loss levels, degree of incline, 5K walking or running teaching programs with memory. It also has options for heart rate control with both speed and incline adjustments for maintaining the greatest levels of performance. The operating console is ergonomically designed and features quick start operation. It also has one-touch resistance. The deck is triple phenolic laminated and requires zero regular maintenance. You can see this workout workhorse in action on YouTube. The video is brief but shows the unit in use.

Yowza also has other models but this one seems to be one of the best. Being a nonfolding unit, it only takes about 30 minutes to set up. However, at 254 lbs outside the box, it will require more than one person to handle its 288 lbs shipping weight in the box. The good news is, once you start working out and develop a steady exercise program, even at 254 lbs, the Yowza Smyrna Running Treadmill will be much easier to handle.
