With a true 5HP AC motor, Android entertainment screen, 0–18° automatic incline, and an 180kg capacity, it delivers commercial-gym performance at a price that makes sense for serious buyers across Kenya.

Why the Azaki Poseidon P8700 is Kenya's Top-Selling Semi-Commercial Treadmill
⚙️ 5HP ACCommercial-Grade Motor
Most treadmills in Kenya run on 3–3.5HP DC motors that overheat within 12–18 months. The P8700's 5HP AC motor handles 8+ hours continuous daily use and lasts 10+ years — the same motor technology used in 5-star hotel gyms.
📺 AndroidSmart Touchscreen — YouTube & Netflix
Kenya's only semi-commercial treadmill with a full Android touchscreen. Stream YouTube workouts, watch Netflix, connect Bluetooth headphones. Working out stops feeling like work when your favourite show is running.
📐 0–18°Auto Electric Incline
18 automatic incline levels controlled from the console — no stopping, no manual adjustment. Incline running burns 40% more calories than flat running and is the fastest route to weight loss and leg strength.
⚖️ 180kgHighest Capacity in Its Class
Supports users up to 180kg — higher than 99% of treadmills sold in Kenya. Ideal for families, commercial gyms with diverse users, and corporate wellness centres where equipment sees heavy daily use.
📏 580mm wideExtra-Wide Running Belt
The 580mm × 1450mm running surface is 15% wider than standard treadmills and long enough for users up to 195cm. The 8-layer shock absorption system protects your knees and joints significantly better than outdoor running on tarmac.
🔇 <65dBWhisper-Quiet for Apartments
Engineered for Nairobi apartment life. Below 65dB noise level — quieter than a normal conversation. The AC motor and shock absorption system mean zero floor vibration complaints from downstairs neighbours.

💡 The real cost of buying cheap
A KES 80,000 treadmill that breaks in 14 months and costs KES 45,000 to repair has already cost you KES 125,000 — more than halfway to the Azaki P8700. Buy right once. The P8700's 2-year warranty and 10-year lifespan means the cost per year of ownership is actually lower.
Health & Fitness Benefits of the Azaki Poseidon P8700
🔥Weight Loss & Fat Burning
Burn 600–900 calories per hour at full incline — more than any other cardio machine per session. The 18° incline activates glutes, hamstrings, and calves simultaneously, multiplying calorie burn compared to flat walking. HIIT programs drive continued fat burning for 24–48 hours after the workout ends (EPOC effect). Users across Kenya have reported consistent weight loss of 4–6kg per month when combined with proper nutrition.
❤️Cardiovascular Health
Regular treadmill use at moderate intensity strengthens the heart muscle, lowers resting heart rate, and reduces LDL (bad) cholesterol. Clinically proven to lower risk of heart disease, type-2 diabetes, and hypertension — Kenya's most preventable chronic conditions. The Android display tracks your heart rate zone continuously so you always train at the right intensity.
💪Muscle Toning — Legs, Core & Glutes
Incline running at 12–18° is one of the most effective exercises for sculpting glutes and hamstrings without weights. The 8-layer shock absorption means your joints take 30% less impact than outdoor running on Nairobi roads — protecting knees while still building lean muscle. Core engagement naturally improves posture and lower back strength over time.
🏃Athletic Performance & Marathon Training
With a top speed of 20 km/h and 24 pre-programmed training modes, the P8700 is used by serious Kenyan athletes training for marathons, 10K races, and sports conditioning. The interval programs replicate real race conditions. The speed precision (adjustable in 0.1 km/h increments) makes structured training sessions more accurate than any outdoor route.
🧠Mental Health & Stress Relief
30 minutes of treadmill exercise at moderate intensity releases endorphins shown to reduce cortisol (the stress hormone) by up to 26%. The Netflix/YouTube integration eliminates the psychological barrier of "boring cardio" — users consistently report 40–60% longer workouts when their favourite content is playing. Better sleep, sharper focus, and improved mood are documented secondary benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions — Azaki Poseidon P8700 Kenya
What is the price of the Azaki Poseidon P8700 treadmill in Kenya?
The Azaki Poseidon P8700 is priced at KES 240,000 in Kenya, with free delivery within Nairobi, professional installation, and a comprehensive 2-year warranty included. For buyers outside Nairobi, delivery charges apply depending on location. WhatsApp +254 704 525 828 for the current price and any active promotions.
Is the Azaki Poseidon P8700 suitable for a commercial gym in Kenya?
Yes. The "semi-commercial" classification means the P8700 is rated for small-to-medium commercial use: gyms up to 50 members, hotel fitness centres serving 20–30 rooms, corporate wellness facilities, and apartment complex gyms. For large commercial gyms with 100+ daily users, consider our full commercial Life Fitness or Matrix treadmill range.
Is the Azaki P8700 quiet enough for an apartment in Nairobi?
Yes. The P8700's 5HP AC motor operates below 65dB — quieter than a normal conversation. The 8-layer shock absorption system eliminates floor vibration. It has been installed in hundreds of Nairobi apartments in Kilimani, Westlands, Lavington, and Parklands without noise complaints. It is specifically engineered for multi-storey residential buildings.
Does the Android display really stream YouTube and Netflix?
Yes. The full Android touchscreen connects to your home WiFi and streams YouTube, Netflix, and other apps directly on the console while you run. Bluetooth connects wirelessly to headphones. It also includes virtual running routes and pre-programmed training modes accessible from the same screen.
I weigh 150kg. Can the P8700 support me?
Yes, comfortably. The Azaki Poseidon P8700 is rated for 180kg maximum user weight — giving a 30kg safety margin above your weight. The reinforced industrial-grade steel frame and 5HP AC motor handle heavier users without strain or reduced lifespan. It is one of the few treadmills in Kenya with genuine 180kg capacity at this price point.
How long does delivery take to Mombasa, Kisumu, or Eldoret?
Nairobi CBD and surrounding areas: same-day or next-day delivery. Greater Nairobi (Ruiru, Thika, Kiambu, Syokimau): next day. Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret: 2–3 business days. All other counties: 3–5 business days. Professional installation is included at all delivery locations across Kenya's 47 counties.
Why is an AC motor better than DC motor on a treadmill?
AC (alternating current) motors are the same technology used in commercial gym equipment worldwide. They generate consistent torque across all speeds, run significantly cooler under sustained load, last 3–5× longer than DC motors, and require virtually no maintenance. DC motors — used in cheaper home treadmills — overheat after 2–3 hours of continuous use and typically fail within 12–24 months under commercial-level usage. If you plan to use a treadmill daily, the AC motor is not optional — it is the difference between lasting 2 years and lasting 10+.
Can I pay in instalments for the Azaki P8700?
Yes. Instalment plans are available on orders over KES 200,000 for qualifying buyers. Institutional and government buyers can access formal LPO terms of 30–90 days. Accepted payment methods include M-Pesa (Paybill 600100, Account 102694), bank transfer, cash on delivery in Nairobi, and Visa/Mastercard. Contact us on WhatsApp to discuss instalment terms.
What maintenance does the Azaki P8700 require?
The P8700 requires minimal maintenance compared to DC motor treadmills. Monthly: wipe down belt and console. Every 3 months: apply running deck lubricant (provided with purchase). Every 6 months: inspect motor compartment and tighten bolts. Annually: optional professional service available through us. The 5HP AC motor requires approximately 90% less maintenance than cheap DC alternatives, making total ownership cost significantly lower over time.

"My previous 3HP treadmill died after 14 months. The Azaki Poseidon has been running for over a year with my whole family using it. My son runs at 18 km/h, my wife does incline walks — the 180kg capacity means no worries for anyone."
