The funny thing about writing about Smooth is that I have always thought that they were very good business people. In the fitness industry there are a lot of enthusiasts, but very few business people who run a business well like Smooth. Smooth seems, this year, to have been caught napping in a business sense. Smooth's competitors have been rapidly moving forward in product development packing in more features for less money. Smooth seems to be standing still. We would still consider Smooth as an option, but it is getting harder to recommend.
