Smooth is a premier designer and online retailer of home fitness equipment across North America. The Company markets and sells its products exclusively over the Internet through its U.S. websites, smoothfitness.com and 1800treadmill.com as well as its Canadian site, smoothfitness.ca. Located in King of Prussia, PA, the Company was founded in 1985 as a brick and mortar specialty retailer and has since established itself as the country’s leading online retailer of home fitness equipment. The Company designs and sells its own products, which are featured and/or endorsed in numerous leading publications and have scored highly in top customer and comparison site reviews.
