Sunny Health & Fitness Pace 500 Smart Auto Incline Treadmill SF-T724081
Sunny Pace 500 Auto Incline Treadmill SF-T724081
The Sunny Pace 500 is an auto incline treadmill for home training: the deck angle changes from the console instead of by hand. It suits walkers, joggers, and interval trainers who want hill work in a spare room, garage, or apartment without stepping off the belt mid-session.
The Numbers That Decide It
- Motor—2.0 peak HP, brushless
- Speed range—1 to 10 MPH
- Incline range — 0.5% to 12%
- Running surface—52.4 in L x 18.1 in W
- Weight capacity—300 lb
- Deck cushioning—shock absorption system
- Application — Residential Only
How Steep 12% Really Feels
A 12% grade is a steep walking hill. Think of a long climb you would slow down for on foot, held for as long as you can stand it.
Two numbers describe that climb on this machine, and they measure different things. Twelve incline levels tell you how many steps the console gives you. The 0.5% to 12% range tells you how steep those steps get. Plenty of treadmill listings publish only one of the two, which makes cross-shopping harder than it should be.
What does "auto incline" mean on a treadmill? A motor raises and lowers the deck while you are still walking on it. You press a button or start a program, and the angle changes underneath you. Manual incline means climbing off, adjusting a bracket by hand, and climbing back on. If you want to read the mechanics in full, our guide to how treadmill incline works covers both systems.
Here is the part most product listings skip. Incline and motor output are one conversation, not two. Raising the deck makes the drive system work harder at any given speed, so a top speed and a top grade are separate ceilings rather than a combined one. The Pace 500 is rated in peak horsepower, which describes a burst figure rather than sustained output—worth knowing, because peak ratings and continuous ratings are not interchangeable.
Pick the Pace 500 when your hills are for walking and jogging. If you plan to run steep grades most days, move up to the Excel incline-decline treadmill instead.

Space, Power, and Delivery
Measure the room before you order, not after the freight truck arrives. Four checks catch nearly every problem.
- Ceiling. Add your height to the deck rise, then add a foot of headroom. Basements fail this test most often.
- Height figures. The listing publishes two heights, 48.8 and 54.3 inches. Plan around the taller one.
- Rear clearance. Leave the open floor behind the belt so a stumble has somewhere to go.
- Power. Give a motorized treadmill its own outlet. Sharing a circuit with a heater or window unit will trip it.
How much room does a treadmill need behind it? Enough clear floor to step off safely at speed, plus room to reach the console without twisting. Walls, furniture, and doors that swing inward all count against you.
Freight delivery to your door is not the same as delivery to your training room. Map door widths, hallway turns, and stair landings first. If the layout is tight, book a gym design consultation and we will plan the space with you. Confirm your delivery and returns terms before you commit, since sending a treadmill back is expensive.

Sunny states the cushioned deck reduces joint impact. Treat that as the manufacturer's design claim rather than a clinical result, and speak to your physician or physical therapist first if you are training around an injury.

Compare Sunny Auto Incline Treadmills
Three Sunny smart treadmills sit close together in price, and the difference comes down to how the incline is controlled. Buyers regularly land on the wrong one because the model names do not make that obvious.
Pace 500 SF-T724081
- Listed price—$649.99
- Incline control—Powered from console
- Best fit—Hill walking and jogging
Active 400 SF-T724012
- Listed price—$599.99
- Incline control—Powered from console
- Best fit—Wi-Fi console, lower spend
Active 300 SF-T724011
- Listed price—$499.99
- Incline control—Manual, set by hand
- Best fit—Buyers skipping powered incline
The fifty dollars between the Active 400 SF-T724012 and the Pace 500 buys a different console link, not a different class of machine. The hundred dollars below both, on the Active 300 SF-T724011, cost you a powered incline entirely. Prices shown reflect current listings and can change.
Who It Fits, Who It Doesn't
Buy it if:
- You walk or jog and want hill work
- You train in a quiet or shared room
- One or two people will use the belt
- You want sessions tracked in an app
Skip it if:
- You run fast on steep grades daily
- Your stride needs a longer running deck
- A staffed facility will run it all day
- Your body weight sits near the limit
Taller runners who want more belt underfoot should look at the 20-inch running deck model instead. For everything from curved manual belts to commercial frames, browse the wider treadmill range.
Pace 500 Questions Answered
Does the Pace 500 ship free?
No. Free shipping currently applies to STEPR, Spirit Fitness, Body-Solid and Vortex equipment. Sunny orders are quoted at checkout or on your invoice, so call us and we will confirm the delivered cost first.
What warranty comes with it?
Sunny warranty terms vary by model and by component, and this listing does not publish them. Ask us to confirm the exact frame, parts and electronics coverage in writing before you order.
Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
Returns run 30 days on undamaged equipment in original packaging with proof of purchase. A 25% restocking fee applies, and return shipping is yours to cover. That is why measuring first matters so much.
How much assembly is involved?
Sunny cardio machines usually arrive partly built with the frame pre-assembled. This listing does not publish a step count or a build time, so confirm with us if your setup window is tight.
Is it strong enough for a small gym?
No. The Residential Only tag means it is built for household traffic, not staffed facility hours. A machine run eight hours a day belongs in a commercial-rated build.
