Anyone running the Spirit CT800, how's the control layout in practice?

[Thomas Martinez]

Looking at the Spirit fitness CT800 for a while now. Startup is pretty basic. Power on, drop the safety key in, hit start. Speed are on the right side buttons, incline on the left side buttons.
The split layout has quick jump presets? I’ve seen Spirit fitness treadmills in a few clubs, the build is solid. But the ergonomics of the console isnt something you realize until you use it. Are the buttons on the right and left for quick jump? Or do you have to hit the buttons incrementally up the speed/incline?
Safety key is fussy on treadmills, some is more forgiving than others. Does this Spirit fitness CT800 take the safety key and remember the last setup? Does it go to the defaults after turning it on?
Any of you who has actualy owned this treadmill for some time, could you share your experiences regarding the treadmills console or controls?

had a CT800 for about 3 years now. The split layout is fine after 2 treadmill sessions. Your hands just learns the layout.
only ever reached for the wrong side when half asleep on the 5am run lol

Quick jump presets ARE on it. 3, 5, 7 mph on the right and left for incline buttons.

Spirit fitness make solid commercial treadmills. The CT800 is their light commercial model but for the home.
console is dated looking but it works.
