SB Fitness Equipment CT700
SB Fitness's flagship self-powered curved treadmill, sold only through the brand's own site and built for sprinting, HIIT and sled pushes. It has a 66.6" x 19" slat deck on stainless steel bearings, rubber tank-tread slats, 8 magnetic resistance levels and a 400 lb capacity. You can walk on it, but nothing about it is aimed at a desk: the resistance handle on the rails is also the brake, so running it without rails gives up both, and the deck sits 13.5" off the floor. For desk walking, the CT250 is the SB Fitness to buy.

Warranty
For home use, SB Fitness covers the frame for 10 years, parts for 5 years, the console for 2 years and labor for 1 year. Commercial use ("light to moderate use") drops that to 5 years frame, 3 years parts, 2 years console and 1 year labor. With no motor, the parts that wear are the slats and bearings, so the 5-year parts term is the one that matters.
Motor
Manual treadmills replace the motor with a rider-powered slat belt, so there are no brushes, coils, or controllers to fail.
Stars
Motor power
Shock
SB Fitness describes the slats as thick nylon with 0.75" rubber tank treads. It makes no cushioning claim and publishes no measurement.
Viability
Score: 6. The owner's manual has you bolt each upright to the base during assembly (a center bolt and four corner bolts per column, pp10-11 and 13) and then bolt the handlebars to the uprights (p14), so leaving them off is plausible. Losing the console costs nothing but the readout: it only displays stats, runs on batteries, and connects by one data cable at the handlebar and left upright (p14). The resistance handle is what you'd give up. It sits on the rails, sets the 8 levels and doubles as a brake that helps stop the belt (p6), and its cable runs down the right column to bolt directly to the magnet lever arm (pp11-12). SB Fitness confirmed by email that once the cable is removed, the magnet arm drops to the lowest resistance setting on its own, so rails-off it walks at its easiest setting. Their sales lead suggested a zip tie around the central bolt shroud as a possible way to hold the arm higher, which is untested. Going rails-off still loses the brake, and the manual says to hold the handrail the first time you use it, until you're comfortable, and to hold the handlebars when you stop (p5); SB Fitness's reply didn't address either. We don't count these against the score: the first-use hold is a learning-period precaution, and although the stop instruction carries no speed condition, at walking pace the self-powered belt stops when you do, which also leaves the brake with nothing to do.
Separately, the 13.5" step-up is the tallest in the lineup (CT250 7.5", CT550 11"), so your desk has to rise that much further above your usual standing height.
Model
A curved slat treadmill with no motor and no power cord. Step toward the front of the curve to speed up, drift back to slow down. SB Fitness pitches it at serious athletes, personal trainers, HIIT, sled-push training and small studios, and says it handles everything from walking to sprinting. It publishes no maximum speed and recommends up to 18 mph. Against the CT550, the extra $600 buys stainless steel bearings instead of nylon, rubber tank-tread slats, 50 lb more capacity, a deck 4.6" longer and 1" narrower, and a heavier frame. Those all serve sprint and sled-push durability; none of them changes walking.
Pros
- 5-year parts warranty on a machine with no motor or drive electronics to fail.
- Stainless steel bearings and rubber tank-tread slats, where the CT550 uses nylon bearings.
- 400 lb capacity and a 66.6" x 19" deck with room for a full sprint stride.
- 8 magnetic resistance levels for power walking, intervals and sled pushes.
- No electricity needed; built-in wheels, a transport handle and leveling feet.
Cons
- Taking the rails off for desk use costs resistance adjustment and the brake, since both live on one handle on the rails.
- 13.5" step-up, the tallest in SB Fitness's curved lineup.
- 308 lb and 78" long assembled.
- $600 more than the CT550 for upgrades that don't change walking.
- Sold only through SB Fitness, with limited stock as of October 2026.
- No owner reports of walking or desk use turned up.
Lacks incline. Sports medicine recommends 3% for knee health. Why it matters + workaround.
Replacement parts
On 2026-10-07 the brand site listed the CT700 at $2,595, down from a $3,695 list price, and showed it as available, with a note that very little inventory remains and the next shipment is expected by November 1. No Amazon listing turned up in May 2026, and an October search was blocked by Amazon's bot check. A Walmart search snippet showed $2,895, but the page wasn't fetched, so that price is unverified. The product has been on SB Fitness's store since December 2022.
Specifications from SB Fitness:
- Assembled size: 78" long, 34" wide, 62" tall. The owner's manual (p6) gives 76" x 34" x 62".
- Running surface: 66.6" long, 19" wide. The manual (p6) gives 66" x 19".
- Weight: 308 lb. Maximum user weight: 400 lb. The owner's manual gives 475 lb (pp4 and 6).
- Step-up height: 13.5".
- Resistance: 8 high-tension magnetic levels, set with a handle on the rails that also works as a brake.
- Console: digital display for distance, speed, time, calories and total miles. It runs on batteries and wakes when the belt moves (manual p15).
- Track: stainless steel bearings under thick nylon slats with 0.75" rubber tank treads.
- Speed: no maximum; SB Fitness recommends up to 18 mph and publishes no minimum.
- Moving it: built-in wheels and a transport handle, plus leveling feet.
- Power: none.
- Warranty, home use: 10 years frame, 5 years parts, 2 years console, 1 year labor. Commercial (light to moderate use): 5 years frame, 3 years parts, 2 years console, 1 year labor. The owner's manual disagrees twice: its warranty page (p18) lists 15 years frame, 7 years parts, 2 years electronics and 1 year labor for home use and 10/5/2/1 commercial, and its boilerplate warranty terms (p19) give 5 years frame and 2 years parts. The score and specs here use the store page's figures.
- SKU CT700, barcode 00860004973720.
It ships by curbside freight. SB Fitness says most customers assemble it within an hour, and in-home setup by a third-party contractor is available by quote. Returns are accepted within 30 days with a restocking fee.
The few third-party review pages that cover the CT700 are thin affiliate content and add nothing beyond the spec sheet.
Still unknown: noise. The Shopify variant weight field reads 185,066 g (about 408 lb), most likely the shipping weight.
